Question

Fans debate continuity regarding Kramer's underwear choice, noting he wore boxers in this episode but previously wore briefs due to low sperm count concerns.

On last night's (2/22/96) episode, Kramer was shown wearing boxers while his pants were hanging (so they wouldn't be wrinkled while he played pool).... But wasn't there an episode where it was made quite clear that he wore briefs (and thus had a low sperm count)? He tried boxers on that episode but couldn't deal with not having the support of briefs. Hmmm....seems the writers may have forgotten about that...

I thought he had to change to briefs after he learned of his low sperm count and then went to wearing no underwear. I don't think they said if he went back to briefs or boxers.

Nothin' but a thin layer of gaberdeen between us and his boys.

I agree. And some support. The concept of wearing boxers is to have a bit of "freedom", but if you're endowed sufficiently, it's a bit uncomfortable shifting around like that. So, you have to get a jockstrap. But then you're back to chafing square one.

The solution? Boxer briefs! I just tried 'em and they're not bad. You get just enough support without having an abrasive strip of ribbed cotton chafing you on the sides.

Hey, in one episode Kramer is wearing briefs-then he wants to have kids so he tries boxers, then starts wearing no underwear.

Wasn't it "My boys need a home"?

You are absolutely correct. In that episode he emphatically declared his love for Jockeys. HOWEVER, I just saw the episode where Crazy Joe Davola kicked Kramer in the head, and when Kramer comes into Jerry's apartment with his pants half off.....he's wearing boxers!

Anyone looking for consistency from Kramer is looking in the wrong place.

I agree. Some of my favorite lines came frome that episode. Such as: "I'm out there Jerry and I'm lovin every minute of it!" and, "I'm filp'in I'm flopin all over the place!"

I'm pretty sure the line is, "My boys need a house!"

There was also the time when Kramer was kicked in the head by Crazy Joe Davola and was acting weird afterwards. He walked into Jerry's apartment with his pants only on one leg. He was wearing boxers then also. I don't know if this was before or after the sperm count episode.

Maybe he's trying to get the sperm count up. God knows theirs enough things trying to keep it down.

Kramer went from briefs (we all saw them when he modeled for the Calvin Klein execs). Then he tried boxers because of low sperm count and hated them. So he went "al fresco"!!

Come on, this isn't HBO. Of course we're going to see Kramer in boxers. Wouldn't Estelle really have been upset if a "bottomless" Kramer was leaning over Frank C. helping him with his pool shot!!!;-)

But then Kramer went to NO underwear at all. He was swinging free.

Now, continuity is a wonderful thing, but can you imagine the scene if he hadn't worn ANYTHING down there.

Scary . . .
