We all know that the Bizarro Jerry (Kevin) is the opposite of Jerry, and each of our heroes has his own 'opposite'. There are at least 15 instances where we see the differences played out in the episode. Name them.
I'll start you off. The first difference between the 2 'groups' was the great idea that Feldman had, but he didn't consider acting on it. Obviously, this is a dig at Kramer who comes up with the outlandish ideas, and he tries to carry them out.

It's Vargus (the benefit of watching with close-captioning on).
Speaking of close-captioning, in one of the recent episodes the song played in the background didn't match the lyrics shown via close-captioning. I guess they must have changed the song at the last minute (the captioned song was more appropriate). Anyone else noticed that? Sorry, I forgot the scene.

8. They like to read... books. 9. They show their emotions and love each other. 10. Feldman brings food to Kevin. (vs Kramer eating Jerry's food) 11. Kevin has a statue of Bizarro Superman on his speaker stereo. 12. They have manners (Kevin gets mad at Elaine for taking olives out of fridge). 13. They go to museums.
Anyone got anymore?

14. Kevin gets along with his fat next door neighbor, Fargus. (Hello Kevin... Helloooo... Fargus.... )

Fargus is a FEDEX guy.

I have to argue with that one. In the episode where Jerry goes to Coney Island on the subway they all (except, maybe George) give money to the blind guy who turned out later to be an undercover cop. . .I remember that particularly since it seemed out of character for them. . .
how about when they're sitting around reading on the couch (kevin and feldman) and they say they want to go to the library. Elaine says "what for?" and Feldman goes "to read" like saying Kramer doesn't...
and how about Vargas dressed like a FedEx employee instead of a mailman a la Newman.
What about when Feldman is at the door? when Kevin says "who's there" and Feldman says "Feldman.." then pauses and says "From next door"... sound like a joke but I missed how that relates to Kramer...
any ideas?

The joke was that Feldman always knocks and identifies himself, while Kramer just barges right in whenever he feels like it.

Well, the fact the it's not enough for Feldman to say who he is, but that he also has to indicate "which" Feldman it is, makes for an even starker contrast between him and Kramer. I thought it was a nice touch.

It relates to Jerry's open door policy. Kevin, the opposite, is so suspicious he wonders if it's Feldman his next door neighbor or some unknown Feldman who is dangerous.
7. They all put money in the homeless guy's cup while the real gang acts selfish. 8. They read instead of watch TV. 9. Bizzaro Jerry doesn't like to be pushed.

Gene, well-mannered, stood up when Elaine entered the room. George? ........
In addition to the great examples already listed....
1. When Bizarro Neuman shows up, Feldman greets him sourly (like when Seinfeld says "Hello, NEUman..."), but then laughs at the joke and gives him a big hug.
2. Bizarro Kramer gets a marketing idea but then scoffs at himself, saying "Nahhh.. it would never work." The real Kramer would have run with it.
I thought it was especially funny the way the real Seinfeld, Kramer and George become the opposite of their normal selves, i.e. Kramer is working a 9-5 job in a three piece suit, Seinfled becomes a slovenly, nagging housewife, and George is dating models.
Good episode!

How 'bout a glaring similarity? This would have been so easy to fix that it shocked me that the set dresser's didn't pick up on it.
Both computers were Apples. Bizarro Jerry would have had a PC.
They way they were sitting in the cafe was reversed. Elaine and Jerry sit next to eachother but she was sitting next to Gene instead of the bizzarro Jerry...........
"I keep seeing a giant red sun in the shape of a chicken!"-Cosmo Kramer
Bizarro Jerry and friends read a lot! George cheated with his "Book Of The Month Club " and watched the video.
Kevin doesnt like Elaine going into the fridge without asking. Jerry everyone help themselves @ his apartment.
Bizzaro Jerry and Bizzaro Newman are friends.
....thats all I can think of for now......
14 to go: 2)The Bizzaro group goes to the library to read instead of sitting at home watching TV 3)Bizzaroes giving money (several dollars!) to a homless guy. George would NEVER give money away 4)Feldman knocks before entering Kevin's apt., while Kramer has a pattented "barge in" 5)The Bizzaroes go to a play or opera while Jerry & co. go to the Knicks game 6)The Bizzaroes eat at a different coffee shop (I forgot the name) than Monk's
There are a few others--the Unicycle (Bizzaro) vs. the Bike (Jerry); All the Bizzaroes hugging vs. Jerry & co. NEVER touching...
I always thought that the difference between Kramer's hair and Feldman's hair was another bizarro situation-Kramer's hair high and every-which-way and Feldman's hair still standing up but in a clean, straight cut. Just a thought.

Lets not forget Newmans counterpart. He worked for FedEx.
Oddly, one of my favorite moments was an actual similiarity between the actual gang and the "Bizarro" gang. When Elaine pushes Kevin and yells "Get out!" the Bizarro gang abruptly turns on her. The real gang often turns against people--including romantic partners--for the silliest of reasons...
