😂 Loved it

Fans loved the episode's premise of Jerry maintaining a fake marriage for dry cleaning discounts, finding the married couple dynamics and comedic lines hilarious and relatable.

Loved tonight's show. Expecially the fact that Jerry and "his wife" were arguing like a married couple. I thought it was hilarious that at the diner the cook goes something like "No outside condiments (sp?) allowed" and threatened to confiscate the maple syrup if he saw it again.

Best Line: "We'll always have pancakes..." --that sums up the show

But the whole dry cleaning thing was so true to me because my mom knows a dry cleaner well and he gives her great discounts, but not me. So, I'm always trying to get her to get my dry cleaning done cuz I can't afford to pay the full price. Just a little glimpse in my Seinfeldesque life.

I liked this idea as well. The whole thing with the pretend marriage was quite bizarre and very Seinfeldian.

As somebody else mentioned, the best line was:

"My wife... has an ear infection."

I think all of us try to get bargains any way we can, which this episode of Seinfeld showed.

However, I didn't like the "joke" at the end about Kramer being mistaken for a black man because of his tan. I didn't think he looked at all black, and didn't understand what this had to do with the rest of the plot. It looked to me as if it were just thrown in to give Michael Richards another piece of the visual comedy he does so well.
