I friggin' love Newman! He cracks me up every time he starts to go off on a tirade and gets carried away. And that devious laugh of his...gotta love it!

"Well....ta-taaa." <insert devious laugh>

Wasn't Wayne Knight also in Dirty Dancing and Jurassic Park?

Yes and, JFK taking the same courtroom part as he did in The Boyfriend ... and many others. But not Animal House :-)

I think he was also in "Basic Instinct".

Also: When Newman's mail truck caught fire as he was driving on Kramer's stretch of road what was he saying?

I think he was using a line from the movie Apocalypse Now - Marlon Brando: "the horror, the horror". Or was it from the old movie reel footage of the Hindenberg zeppilin when it crashed: "the humanity"

Nope, that's when Elaine travels deep into Burma to find Mr. Peterman. When she shows him the new catalog featuring the Urban Sombrero, he whispers, "The horror... the horror...."

Yeah, that's the inspiration for Newman's line when his truck catches fire.

That's from The Chicken Roaster and Elaine also uses the line in The Stranded.

Ultimately, though, it's a poke at Marlon Brando's character in "Apocalypse Now". Or have I just stated the obvious?

Yep. :-) It was mentioned in a previous message in this thread.

Originally from Joseph Conrad's novel, "Heart of Darkness".

I was thinking about that when this thread came up. I read Heart of Darkness in college, but I can't remember the ending; does the line "The horror... the horror..." appear in it, or was that just in Apocalypse Now?

The Seinfeld episode definitely was aping the movie since it used the same visual style, including the closeup of Peterman's mouth.

Yes it's in the book (p85). I don't have it here, but I do have a book of literary criticism which goes at some depth into why HOD doesn't use the French and say "L'horreur, l'horreur". (Why he thought it should have done is too boring to relate here. :))

He was singing a song (don't know the title) "Once, twice, three times a lady..."

That's the title of the song, actually. It's by Lionel Ritchie.

Thanks for the info.

When his truck caught fire, Newman was screaming "Oh, the humanity!" I nearly pissed myself when he said that. Bob Wombat.

Newman's great! I can't remember a scene with Newman that didn't have me laughing hysterically.

"Newman, you wouldn't eat broccoli if it were deep fried in chocolate sauce."

hehe

I know! My favorite speech is Newman's in the finale... trying to type it in from memory:... think I got it right:

"All right. All right! But hear me and hear me well Seinfeld. Your day will come. Oh yes, mark my words Seinfeld, your day of reckoning will come. When an evil wind will blow through your little play world, and wipe that sick smile off your face. And I'll be there, watching, in all my glory, as your whole world comes crumbling down! Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

I don't know if this is correct but it came from the transcribed script:

Newman: All right! But hear me and hear me well - The day will come. Oh yes, mark my words, Seinfeld - your day of reckoning is coming. When an evil wind will blow through your little play world, and wipe that smug smile off your face. And I'll be there, in all my glory, watching - watching as it all comes crumbling down. ================= Wayne Knight was great at delivery long winded dialogue based somewhat on classic cinema situations.
