Question🙂 Liked it

Viewers debate whether the final scene of the episode where Jerry's parents leave is a reference to Nixon's resignation helicopter departure, with disagreement over how clear the parody was.

I enjoyed the whole ep., but the last scene, when Jerry and his parents were leaving... was this in reference to some movie?

I could'nt figure it out.

It was a take off of Nixon getting into the helocopter after he had resigned. I live in Canada, and was not alive to see this happen. Could the education system down in the States be so bad? I thought that the parody was pretty clear.

   What a crock of sh*t!  I merely ask for help in getting a
   joke/parody, and you feel compelled to question the entire
   United States education system. (?)

Why do you have to judge all Americans by one stupid guy? What business is it of yours how smart we are or how good the education is? Obviously, education in the Bronx sucks (save Bronx science) but education in the suburbs and Beverly Hills is the best in the world. Why don't you think before you open your mouth. Let's see, Seinfeld is American, and the internet is American.

Not hardly. I saw no correlation there at all. Unless you are suggesting that the ouster of Jerry's Father was just as unfair as that of Nixon, you might have a point. Why does the younger generation think Nixon was the ogre of history?

Nixon was the worst of history.

:

Who said anything about Nixon being an ogre? You're reading too much into the comments.

The humor was in the visual comparison between Jerry's father's situation and Nixon's. Both left office in disgrace. Both left office with colleagues offering sad goodbyes. Both saluted their colleagues before departing by helicopter or car. Yes, I'm old enough to remember. I'm not referring to the movie "Nixon", which I haven't seen; I'm recalling the TV pictures.

Yep, the whole ending sequence is a parody of the movie, "Nixon".

Not quite. The ending was a parody of real life.
