Oh the humanity

Sorry this must have been asked before but where does this quote come from?

The Hindenburg crashed while landing in 1937.

The reporter on the ground.

Sorry to be a smart ass, I have never heard it on Seinfeld.

Wasn't it when Newman drove over Kramer's spilled paint thinner in "The Pothole?"

The "once, twice, three times a lady..." singing during this scene is classic.

Yes, it is a famous quote from that eye-witness report of the Hindenberg disaster. And it was used in Seinfeld in The Pothole. Sort of like - Newman was as big as the Hindenberg and was going up in flames.

It was also used in WKRP with the "turkeys" - much better than in Seinfeld, IMO.

It was also said by Chandler in,one episode of Friends when Ross was flirting badly with the pizza delivery lady.

"WKRP in Cincinatti" 1978; Dropping frozen turkeys from a chopper.

They were live. Remember when the big guy says, "I thought to God they could fly!"

Right - I met Gordon Jump (the big guy) when he was in Toronto for a Maytag promotion a few years ago and talked to him about WKRP - and he said everyone always comments on that line -

You're right , of course. "With God as my witness, I swear I thought turkeys could fly."
