Fans praise the show's use of Newman saying "Oh, the humanity!" as a reference to the Hindenburg disaster, comparing the burning blimp to Newman's rotund physique.

     Having Newman utter those same words that the
     reporter witnessing that famous Zepelin fire said
     (comparing our chubby antagonist's
     fiery rotundness to the burning
     blimp)...well, it's true genious!

point out the relationship between Newman and the blimp I can see the greater depth. Thanks. BTW has anyone noticed that Newman is losing weight??

Definately he has...especially if you look at Space Jam, whcih was filmed well over a year ago...Wayne Knight, in fact, won't watch any of his work (I read an interview), because he feels so insecure about his size....

	Maybe his "Hindenburg" comparison was to show that
	not only is he full of hot air (flammable gas?) but
	that he also is 'burning' up the calories!

OK, that IS extremely funny, now that you've pointed out the connection between the Hindenburg and the Newman-burg.

It would have been sharper and funnier, though, if it had been Kramer, who, watching Newman go up in flames, uttered those famous words, "Oh, the Newmanity!"

James Miles↩ Lee Salem

Yes, I think that would have been funnier. Especially with Kramer's delivery.
