Saw this episode again just last night, and noticed for the first time that Jerry's dad is the only "senior's complex" person in the whole episode who's acting "normal"...until the end of course, when he takes offence to Jack's good humoured jabs and goes to the podium to whine about the pen 'Jack took back'. The pace and language of this episode is so well done, it's gotta be a top 10er!
"You want it?...take the pen...come on, take the pen!"
"Ok, say Astronaut"..... I think if I was in the state Elaine was in, and had seen the recent stir-up regarding the pen, I too would have bust a gut laughing, just as Elaine did.
Larry David is genius
