Fans discuss the origin of Jerry's speech in "The Pick" where he exclaims "I am NOT an animal!" and identify it as a reference to The Elephant Man movie.
Hi All, what's up?
On "The Pick", Jerry had a speech about his pick. He took it in front of an elevator or something and concluded in the words "I am NOT and animal!" Anybody knows the rest and maybe the original speech (what it was taken from)?
This message will self destruct in 5 seconds... 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. BOOM!
Say no, then negotiate.
I think it was from the Elephant Man movie.

IT's moments like thsi that make me realize how many references there are that I have no clue about. I never saw this movie. Still it was a great moment, even without knowing the reference. But it enriches it. I wish someone would do a thread on these kinds of satiric references to other things. We've seen it in places, but I think not as a whole thread. Cynth
I have a great list of movie references included in the Seinfeld FAQ.
