Fans discuss their favorite moments from "The Bubble Boy" episode, particularly George's hilarious misreading of "MOOPS" during Trivial Pursuit and other comedic scenes.
does anyone else find this part from 'the bubble boy' totally hilarious?...
when George and the bubble boy are playing Trivial Pursuit and the 'Morps' question come up. I love the way George says..
'Oh nooo! ....I'm so sorry it's MOOPS!"
It's SOOO typical George, especially because he's totally wrong.. is anyone else on my wavelength? Maybe it's only us pioneers here in Australia that find that line funny!

One of my favorite episodes! I also love the part when Jerry and Elaine are in Monks with the Bubble Boy's father, and Elaine starts crying because she is touched and the father takes out a kleenex and wipes his eyes and passes one to Elaine, who wipes her eyes, then she passes a kleenex to Jerry and he wipes his mouth, completely nonchalant. Hysterical!

Nope. Very funny in America too. In "The Seinfeld Universe", Greg Gattuso sheds some light on this plotline. It seems the 9th edition of the Jeopardy home game (1972) includes the following answer-question combination:
ANSWER: Only after she defeated them could Isabella consider Columbus' requests. QUESTION: Who are the Moops?
It could easily be argued that Larry Charles and Larry David (the writers
of "The Bubble Boy") had played this same Jeopardy home game, and
may have had a similar argument which surfaced, years later, as an
integral part of the plot of this episode.

(Remove XXXX to reply)And heartening to find a Sein soulmate in Oz - Georgy being my fave and The Bubble Boy a particular classic.
And hasn't one long lamented the departure of David - his "blackness" is sorely missed.
Any "feelers" emanating from the US about his involvement in THE END???
Here's hoping. Final episode news slowly filtering Down Under.
LMK.
TIA.

'Morps'
Ummm, it's the "Moors", not the "Morps" that is misspelled as "Moops" on the Trivial Pursuit card.
Ummmm, I really hate to do this, but who else sees the irony of this post??? :o)

I see the irony plain and simple standing out.
That is probabaly my favorite moment in all of Seinfeld. That line coupled with the fact that it's a smart aleck Bubble Boy and the resulting decompression of the Bubble Boy's plastic enclosure (some people think it's an igloo!) is extremely hilarious. Brian-Doyle Murray was funny as the Bubble Boy's father. Isn't this the episode where they are on the way to Susan's cottage and stop at the Bubble Boy's house? On the way back, George has another funny moment. He actually has the nerve to ask Susan for the toll money that he had previously paid while she is extremely upset about the cottage burning down.
