Does any of you guys know how many times sweden or something about sweden is mentioned in Seinfeld? I know Kramer says to the couple who bought "the kramer" that he jumped on a boat to Sweden. And when they're gonna buy the high-flow shower-heads, there is a shower head called something like "Stockholm super stream" (Stockholm=The capital of sweden). Is there more swe-stuff???

"i've got the body of a young, taught, pre-teen Swedish boy" -- Kramer (saying this to Jerry when he was trying on the tight jeans)

Vegetable Lasagna was sitting on the plane with Elaine and Puddy, from Norway to the US, but I think he was russian or something like that. He didn't have a norwegian or swedish name, that's for sure.

Good one.

I can't believe nobody mentioned one of my all-time favorite moments, and *definitely* my favorite Sweden reference.

I bet someone in the crew was swedish, or why do you think Sweden is being said so many times?

Care to elaborate ? The only Candian reference I can remember off the top of my head is that Kramer likes only Canadian football, not American.

The man who's apartment smelled like potatoes had a Swedish accent in "the Slicer," both when Kramer accidently knocked his door open, "Hey! Get the hell out of here!" and when he blew Elain's circuit, "Turn that off! Turn it off," and "That's it," and "Mama!" I wonder if his voice was done by "Vegetable Lasagne?"

Of course it was just an accent, not an actual reference.

Yeah, but what does it really have to do with Sweden, it's not like that at all! The hot-water springs are on Iceland!

I remeber Elaine for some reason was wondering about who Pippi Langstr�mpe was. I think she thought Pippi was a nazi, which is not quite right. Can't remember what episode, though. Why can't they use actors from the countries they refer to? Like the "Norwegian" sitting next to Elaine on the flight from Oslo. From the accent, there's no way he was from Norway. The same happened once in X-files, where the "Norwegian" was from Iceland. But that's another story.

Yes. :) Some episode had a 'Finnish' character. The actress wasn't Finnish and her accent reminded English as spoken by Russians.
