"Where does the meat go?"

"Right here."

"Where do you turn it on?"

"Right here."

"But where does the meat go?"

By the way is it just me or does anyone else see how the above exchange between Kramer and Elaine could be interpreted as something dirty? Ok, I guess not. Never mind, I never wrote this.

It's not even worth analyzing...

That has to be THE MOST retarded episode of Seinfeld ever made...

Poorly written, acted and directed.

A meat slicer to remove someone's mole? We're expected believe that someone couldn't get a hold of an exacto knife?

Worst episode ever.

I agree the episode certainly has it's flaws. The interchange described above is particularly lame.

But OTOH the scene where Kramer puts the paper clip in the electrical outlet has to be some of the funniest physical comedy in the entire series.

It's very good, isn't it? I like when Elaine's lights go out and there's a scream from the neighbor who had done what Kramer did.

Yeah that particular aspect is lame, and the Elaine/cat bit is annoying, but there's good stuff in this episode. George's antics with the photo are classic Costanza...

Plus, there's an irritating woman in the audience/laugh track with this very annoying laugh that you can hear throughout the show.

Yeh, there is...this isn't the only episode that has irritating laughter in the audience, (is it "the heckler"? :P)

It's interesting, as time goes on - something like that stands out more/as the audience laughter somehow sounds dated...I'm wondering if audience laugh tracks have since been "improved" and a viewer notices (on some level) between a laugh track (whether a real person or canned) from the 90's and a present sitcom. Maybe (at this point in time) producers have learned to not include a person/laugh like that in the audio of a show...
