The way the police investigators act in The Trip, both at the place of the murder as well as when interroging Kramer, looked pretty familiar with me. I thought it was a parody on some other series of film, but I couldn't anything about it in the FAQ.
Am I talking complete bollocks here or is there a parody? Anyone to enlighten me?
I saw this episode yesterday. I turns out Kramer was abused as a child or something..
cheers, Bas

I only included real parodies in the FAQ. There had to be no doubt as to which movie they were spoofing, if it was questionable, it didn't make the cut.
I don't think it was a parody of any specific movie or TV show, rather a parody of all of them. The crime scene scene was a parody of the well worn "hard-boiled detective/wet-behind-the-ears rookie" pairing, and the interrogation scene was just a pastiche of hundreds of similarly written cop/suspect interrogation scenes played out in countless TV shows and movies.

There was a thread here a few months back asking if there had ever really been any serious moments in Seinfeld. In truth they had to go pretty heavy on the canned laughter in this scene, where Kramer is bullied into tears and recalls childhood abuse to make it funny. I'm not saying that it *isn't* funny. But it's pretty black comedy to say the least.
