Fans explain a George scene where he confuses details from two different dates, making an odd comment about Jesus before recovering with a non-sequitur about ice-skating.

In the ep. where George is dating the extremely tan woman, they're sitting in the coffeeshop and it goes something like this:

George: The actor who played Jesus sure made some odd choices.

Woman: What?

George (recovering): Um, I really enjoyed iceskating today.

Now what the hell was that all about? The audience roared with laughter, but I feel like I'm missing an inside joke. Help?

Earlier in the episode, George said he was having trouble keeping things straight while dating two women. A date with one woman was going to see "Godspell" (a play based on the gospel of John, which naturally features Jesus) and he went ice skating with the other. He got the two mixed up.

I don't remember any mention of Godspell with the blonde woman. Maybe it got cut in syndication.

The mention of Godspell with the blonde woman occurs when Jerry is talking with George and George is conveying his problems with 2 women. George does not mention the Godspell thing in the presence of the blonde woman (Maura).

In addition to the above, it was also meant to mean that the two women were so boring, that it didn't matter where he went with either.

What's really funny is where George says,

"Will you sleep with me as it would really help me get out of a jam"

Another favorite line of George's (to Maura):

George: "Why does it only seem like I'm the only one working at this breakup?"
