Seineld allusions

the magic loogie - kennedy assassination

apocalypse now is referenced in "the chicken roaster" when elaine needs to get j. peterman to approve of her sable hat purchase.

platoon is vaguely alluded to in "the fatigues" when frank constanza is recalling his experience as a chef in the US army in korea. complete with a song very similar to the famous barber "quartet with strings" music...

more obscurely, references to former big band drummer buddy rich's infamous temper have been replicated in lines such as "If I have to tell you again, we're gonna take it outside and I'm gonna show you what it's like!" (george in "the opposite) and "This guy - this is not my kind of guy" (frank in "the understudy").

If this is the one that had the "Zapruder Film" recap where they assumed Keith Hernandez had spit on Kramer... awesome. One of my very favorites.

But there had to be a second spitter...it was really Roger McDowell hiding behind the bush.

Have you listened to the clips of Rich that Seinfeld and David got those lines from? Pretty hilarious. The guy was a raging a-hole.

When Jerry and George plan the "switch" over coffee there is a vaguely familiar suspense music in the background. I wonder if that alludes to something.

The whole middle of that episode is just supposed to be a hat tip to 1950's Hollywood, IMO. Particularly the scene were Newman picks up Mrs. Kramer out on the street corner.

Many Superman allusions, most notably in the Bizarro World episode with Kevin, Gene, Feldman and Vargas.

Actually I'd say the most notable Superman allusion was the episode where Jerry raced his old classmate. Girlfriend named Lois (which he couldn't get enough of saying), the Superman theme playing the entire length of the final race, etc.

george's girlfriend allegedly not hearing when he said i love you because she has trouble hearing out of one ear.

george- "its like when superman reversed the rotation of the earth..."

same episode where kramer gets into it with barry the chimpanzee
