Question

Fans discuss inconsistencies in Kramer's character, specifically episodes showing him bathing versus showering, with debate over whether the shower head episode counts.

These kinds of inconsistencies are not only disturbing, but extremely interesting to discover.

Can anyone else think of an episode when Kramer was bathing? (hot tubs don't count)

The episode where Kramer buys the elephant shower head out of the back of the truck is an example of him bathing.

I'm just being picky here, but that is actually an example of him showering, not bathing.

How is that so? In the episode with the low-flow shower heads, Kramer comes to Jerry after taking a bath, and complains about it. something like, "Jerry I just took a *bath*!" "...sitting in my own filth..." etc. Then at the end they show him taking a shower. :)

just my $.02

Sorry, Monty, but you are wrong. Kramer explodes into Jerry's apartment and describes how disgusting his bath was, floating in a stew of his own bacteria.... he nearly cries and convulses at the thought.

Jill, is that you? If I'm not mistaken, Kramer was describing why he doesn't take baths. He never actually took a bath during that episode. So there!! :--)

Actually, there is one episode, I can't remember the name, but Jerry comes home to find Kramer having a bath in his bathroom.

In The Wife, when it is revealed that George peed in the health club shower, Kramer states "I take baths". Another Kramer inconsistency is the Briefs/Boxers issue.

Considering what we know about Kramer, does it really suprise you that he would be inconsistent?

Last night, Kramer was shown in the shower, attempting to hang on for dear life because the powerful showerhead he installed gave too much power.

the "keys" episode kramer is shown bathing in jerry's bathroom, and is kicked out by jerry when he has to use the restroom

Well, I can't think of another episode where he ACTUALLY takes a bath, but there was an episode where the "gang" was talking about urinating in the shower. Elaine asked Jerry and George if they had ever done that, then she asked Kramer, who replied, "I take baths." Obviously another inconsistency.

He also bathes in the episode about who has whos keys. Jerry comes home, runs to the bathroom, and Kramer is in it taking a bath.

did make it

Don't forget the show where Kramer actually buys a hot tub, and he falls asleep and nearly freezes to death when the power goes out.
