this week's tappet brothers / seinfeld reference

this week, one of the tappet brothers spontaneously shouted "YO YO MA" during the show.

Car Talk, the show on NPR that features Click and Clack Tappet, has had many references to Seinfeld. One week they used the phrase "buck naked" and the following week (after Castanza used the porn name Buck Naked) they jokingly complained that the Seinfeld show stole the idea from them. Not long after that, one the the brothers mentioned that he had read that 1/4 of the world's lawyer's lived in the US. They both said, "not that there's anything wrong with that." The funniest Seinfeld reference occurred a couple of weeks ago. Someone called up with a car problem and they were trying to give him a solution. (The basic premise of their show). One of them had 2 theories, stated them and then turned to his brother who said he had "nothing". They both started saying "Nothing, this show is about nothing." They are clearly big fans of Seinfeld. I have to admit I never miss Car Talk OR Seinfeld. Tom and Ray Magliosi, who assume the names Click and Clack Tappet, are very funny, intelligent guys who also know just about everything about cars. If you've never heard the show check it out.

That was from a really hilarious episode and cast included Newman the postal worker.

Newman is in court trying to get out of paying his speeding ticket. He has Kramer in the witness box. Newman's story : Kramer is a banker who has not been able to make it big and is very depressed, ready to commit suicide. Newman hears of it and is rushing to save his friend, and gets a speeding ticket in the process.

So Kramer is sitting there while Newman is talking. And suddenly, out of the blue, Kramer shouts

YO YO MA

Actually Kramer had earlier got hit in the head and was acting even better than usual.

I'm sure someone else remembers the name of the episode and what the other sub-plots were about (besides nothing).

So do we have a list of Seinfeld-isms (Is there any one thing that sticks on people's mind from each episode - an object, a phrase...) ? YO YO MA, NTTAWWT, Pez, Junior Mints, Bubble boy........

There are also a few from the SNL shows that he hosted, such as

"Who are the advertizing wizards who came up with this one?"

and

"What is the deal with that?"

P.S. where did "Junior Mints" come from? I must have missed that one.

how about

Mrs.seinfeld : "How Can Anyone Not Like You"

Kramer(to Elaine) : "Have we been Intimate ?"

as well as:

"A three hour tour!? A THREE HOUR TOUR!?!?"

"yo yo ma" was one of kramer's spontaneous outbursts when he started having Tourettes-like symptoms after getting kicked in the head by crazy Joe Divola.
