This episode was disturbing, unpleasant, hardly funny, and had no redeeming qualities at all. There have been lame episodes before, but this is the first time I have genuinely disliked an episode.

Jerry throwing away all his stuff was idiotic and insane. His couch cushions? C'mon!!! Not to mention that stuff about giving his girlfriend bleach. I know someone who drank bleach and she was coughing up blood and tissue. Not a laughing matter.

The shot of the keychain flying into the air was well done, but the talking keychain itself seemed gimmicky and only marginally funny.

Elaine is stupid too, as someone else mentioned, she could have gone to pick up the food from the restaurant. She did look good with that cap on at the end, though.

Kramer has devolved from being wacky to being an utter moron. I was afraid he would cause a pileup on the highway or something. The cruel ending, putting the unsuspecting (in this episode, anyway) Newman in a painful and deadly situation like a burning mail truck was not funny at all, no matter how you look at it. He came out of it looking like a cartoon character. He's Newman, not Wile E. Coyote, for crying out loud.

The plots were lame, Jerry was crazy, the end was mean. I have to say this is the worst episode I've ever seen.

It's called being absurd -- and it's funny.

Don't take it so seriously.

I agree totally.  Not that it's the worst ever, but it's right down
there.  Can't understand why it was so hyped.

Well, that's YOUR opinion. I found the mail truck scene very funny, along with many other people. Remember this isn't real life, it's just a tv show. --OJs a liar

You obviously don't understand what Jerry Seinfeld is all about. The mere thought of him having toilet water on anything he touched is enough to make him sick. That's why he threw out the couch cushions, the remote control, etc. And, also. IT'S TV. GET A GRIP!

I agree with the complainers. I don't know what the hell Kramer is now, but he isn't funny. He used to be an interesting, possibly dangerous subversive whose self-interest made him hilarious. Now he's an obsessive reactive social worker freak walking chickens and cleaning up highway signs. What happened to the sociopathic brawling with ex-Yankee greats? What happened to pasta sculptures and golf and Cuban cigars and the Bro/Mansiere? No, now he's gotta stash some Japanese businessmen in his drawers and worry about things he never gave a flip about. I don't either. Kramer has become just another statistic.

Hey! Watch the slander. I'm a social worker...

On the other hand you are right. Kramer has lost his narcissistic purity and become just another prop for the plots. Fire the person in charge of character and continuity.

His physical humour is still great, but getting a bit rigid & chliched. He reminds me of Mick Jagger in his third decade with the rolling stones--he looks like he is someone doing a parody of Mick Jagger. Cosmo often looks like he is doing a parody of Kramer.
