Fans debate whether the vasectomy subplot in this episode is too implausible, with some defending the show's deliberately absurd humor while others argue subplots should maintain believability.

I thought the whole vasectomy subplot was the weakest point of the latest show because it was just too unbeleivable.

Comments?

Seinfeld has never been really that believable. I thought the episode was just fine and I don't see anything wrong with it.. there were some pretty bad episodes in the past, in my opinion like when they were in the subway.. Anyway, you people are too fast to judge. watch the same episode a few times and maybe you'll get it.. the show's probably to subtle for you or something.

More like it was too obvious. Shows like The Parking Garage, The Chinese Restaurant and The Subway are too subtle for some. They cause people to ask "Why is that supposed to be funny ?". Shows like The Soul Mate are too obvious. They cause people to ask "Wasn't that done on Full House during its last season ?".

Since when does a subplot have to be believable to be good? How believable was it when Kramer hit a golf ball into a whale's airhole - blocking it - and then the whale is saved by George plucking the golf ball out?

I think you can't take all of the plot details so seriously - the stories frequently stretch plausibility, deliberately. In my opinion, the vasectomy stuff is more of a parody on men and not really meant to be a situational bit.
