Fans clarify that "Pachyderm" is not a character name but a joke punchline Jerry uses in his comedy routine, with some confusion about whether it references Babu Bhatt or is entirely separate.

Pachyderm lived in Jerry's building and owned an American restaurant in the neighborhood. Jerry convinced him to turn it into a Pakistani restaurant, which eventually bombed. Later Pachy was deported because his "papers" were accidently delivered into Jerry's mailbox, who didn't give them to him in time. Probably Newman's fault!

Ok, let's take this one step at a time:
1. The person you think is named "Pachyderm" is actually named "Babu," last name being "Bhatt." This character, which you described accurately, is Pakastani; perhaps that and "pachyderm" got combined in your head.
2. Anyway, "pachyderm" was just a punchline to a joke that was repeated throughout a particular episode that we never got to hear in its entirety. Most likely, there is no joke in real life, but we are forced to watch the devastatingly funny punchline (well, it caused a hospital bed-ridden man who desperately wanted to laugh but could not, laugh a bit too hard). Jerry could not make this man laugh, but the pachyderm punchline joke did.
elaine's fault not Newman (for once)
correct.
a) pachyderm punchline did not make him laugh. (although he could really have used it) Jerry had to pull out new material and do his entire act.
b) pachyderm is a real person however. we repeatedly hear so did you tell him the pachyderm story, in which 'pachyderm' is reference to a real person, who is never mentioned anywhere else.
*Bzzzt* Wrong! The pachyderm joke did NOT make the bed-ridden friend laugh, for information's sake "the Pachyderm story" as it became known involved very hot pizza(s) being carried and eventually dropped onto george's girlfriend (which we later discover). Again I repeat the joke about the pizza's/pachyderm did not make the friend laugh, rather it was Jerry's 'bit' about Superman and the Justice League of America that caused his ailing friend , Fulton, to laugh too hard.
Admittedly, the guy you were relpying to was a putz, but you are by no means an exemplary seinfeld fan, I on the other hand, am. :)
Later all.

I stand corrected about the pachyderm detail. And to defend "the guy," I wasn't calling him a putz; I was referring to someone who said "I forgot what pachyderm was" out of the blue a while back who decided to get nasty responding to me when I told him a pachyderm was an elephant. This was by email to save the rest of you guys!
I agree. Pachyderm is not Babu, and is best known for "jugglin' those pizzas". But I thought Pachyderm had a real name. I haven't seen the episode in a while, so someone enlighten me.

I can't remember his real name, but I think that Pachyderm was the annoying comic that "The Mentor" was dating. I can't remember her name, either.

The person "The Mentor" ended up dating is the infamous Banya. Banya's not Pachyderm, is he? Banya is the one who bases his entire routine on stuff like ovaltine, got Jerry to take him to Mendy's which started the whole argument over what is and isn't a meal.
No, Banya is definately NOT Pachyderm.
1. Banya is the annoying comic. 2. Babu is in India, still plotting against Jerry. 3. Pachyderm has a real name, which George's girlfriend divulges at the end of the episode when she tells George she is leaving him for Pachyderm. 4. The "joke" is really just a comic tale of Pachyderm introducing himself to a girl in a bar while juggling two hot pieces of pizza.

Does she tell us, the audience, that is, Pachyderm's real name? If so, what was it?
That was Babu - Pachyderm was part of Jerry's comedy routine to try to cheer up his sick friend in the hospital.

I believe Babu is in Pakistan, saving his (whatever the money in Pakistan is called), so he can one day return to New York and have his revenge on that very bad man.
