ELAINE IS SO STUPID... I CAN'T BELIEVE HER IQ is 151

In the 2-20 episode Elaine didn't want to eat alone in the restaurant so she went to the janitor's closet to get the food. Why couldn't she have get Take-out? Go to the restaurant and pick it up. If she's so smart why didn't she think of that? And also how come they never mentioned her parents? Was she an orphan? They mentioned Jerry, George, and Kramer's parents.

When the guy gave her the bag of food then questioned her when she couldn't get into the apartment why did she hand the bag back to him? She already paid him the money, the bag was hers! She should have just walked accross the street to her apt.! STUPID ELAINE! I don't like the way she acts this season anyways, she's a jerk and she's not funny!

C'mon, give Elaine a break here. This is Seinfeld, remember? It is necessary to watch it with a certain suspension of disbelief. She is cute and quirky, and at least she was not responsible for the injury or embarssment of any one other than herself, in this episode. She did seem a bit resigned though. I like her better when she's spunky and fighting the many factors that are against her. In this episode, she didn't seem willing to fight.

Her Dad is the very strict, militaryesque Altan Benes. They are from Towson, MD (a suburb of Baltimore.)

Elaine's IQ is not 51...the first time she took the test, it was 55, the second was 150...

Sorry, you're wrong. 1st score was 85, 2nd was 151.

she probably didn't pick up the food because she doesn't have a car and taking the subway to get dinner (or walking) would mean she would have to eat there alone (which she didn't want to do) or letting her dinner get cold on the way home. dawn

I can't believe someone who claims themselves SeinFans would use language as such and make such an unwise comment. If you really know the personality of Elaine, (actually all of these four main characters share this quirk) you'll know that she does so because she's neurotically stubborn, because she has to stand on what she thinks is right (such as anti-fur coat). Remember she'd rather dump her boyfriends because they neither spongworthy nor pro-choice? It's like George simply has to drive/fly all the way to another city to speak out his retort. In this case, Elaine JUST want to taste the fish that is first served in America and she just doesn't want to do carry-out because she thinks they should deliver her order. Therefore, she'd rather get stuck in the janitor's room than, as you suggest, walk to the restaurant herself.

Again, if you have watched Seinfeld faithfully and have paid more attention to it, you'll know her parents get divorced long long time ago and her father, a famous cranky writer, does show up on one episode.

It's because she knows she lies and feels guilty. Of course the employees in the Chinese restaurnat are quirky, too. But it's the nerotic craziness of all these characters that make us love the show this much. And "she's a jerk?" I don't understand why people choose to use such a foolish word and make subjective comment in public that simply mame them sound so unintelligent... <sigh>

You could make up stuff that would have been easier for the characters to do (elaine get take out) in many episodes. THe thing is though, if elaine went and got take-out, is that funny? The producers do stuff like that because its funny

also because she doesn't own a car why waste the money for a cab when they deliver? also because the food might get cold by the time she gets home. sheez stop complaining

Elaine's father was an adventurer/writer (ala Hemmingway) and was in the episode where Jerry wore a suede jacket with really bad lining.
