Viewers discuss how many characters named Joe or Joey appeared throughout the series, reflecting on New York's prevalence of that name and noting examples like Crazy Joe Davola and Joe Peppitone.
I can tell you, being a New Yorker, if there's one thing we have a surplus of, it's Joe's...that is people, men to be exact, named Joseph, or Joe for short. Hell, I am one of those many New Yorkers with the name. Realizing how Seinfeld always did it's best to show New York the way it truley (and sadly) is, I was wondering, how many Joe's were on it?
The guy who pulled the rick-shaw was named Rusty. THe childhood friend that Jerry had a hard time breaking up with was named Joel. I'm not sure if those two belong on a list of NY Joe's
The childhood friend that Jerry no longer had anything in common with, in "Male Unbonding".
The guy who ran the fruit stand in "The Mango".
The kid that "Big Brother" George promised to take to Paris in "The Raincoats".
Joe Temple, the guy who's house George watched "Breakfast at Tiffany's" at in "The Couch".
The kid who thinks tight-jeans-wearing Kramer is Frankenstein in "The Wait Out", who's also the same kid from Kramer's karate class in "The Foundation".
Joe Mayo, party thrower in "The Reverse Peephole".
Sloppy Joe, homeless rickshaw puller in "The Bookstore".
And then of course, there's Jerry, playing with G.I. Joe, saying, "Back to base, Joe!" and the time he pulled his turtleneck over his mouth and nose and said, "Look Elaine, Bazooka Joe." And the title character in "The Wig Master" was touring with "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", and Joe Dimaggio dinking donuts at Dinky's in "The Note".
