Jerry Seinfeld trivia
 

Posted on other forums by me

99% of Porsche owners I have chatted with are “Seinfeld” (TV show) fans, myself included.

I watched the show when it was on Sunday nights; remember that Jerry when nobody knew whom Jerry Seinfeld was!!!!

Remember the joke about the canary flying into the mirror before the Seinfeld show?

“Jerry, I know you are on this forum somewhere, under an alias that masks your identity, so beware brother and read what other Porsche owners have to say! To me, you are a hero slash superman, I have watched all your episodes and even bought your CD’s!”

To non-believers, Jerry owns > 20 Porsches, according to rags we read, so this is a perfect forum to engage in Seinfeld trivia.

If nobody cares about this trivia, just let this thread die a natural death, will not hurt my feelings? (maybe Jerry's...probably not )

So who wants to go first? I will kick anyone’s butt with the Seinfeld trivia.

Come on, who's first???????????????????????

OK, what was the soup George tried to order before being told to leave the store from the Soup Nazi?

Does Jerry own any boxsters?

Funny, I never watched the show but one day I met the soup Nazi at an airport here in Ohio. Long boring story, but anyway the person that introduced us had to tell me who he was, Sorry Soup Nazi lol.

Ok,

What tipped off Jerry and Kramer to the true identity of the Assman?

'01 Boxster S

For "ASSMAN" it was the picture of the boat with that name.

For soup, I believe it was Mulligutany (I obviously do not know how to spell it).

Don't know but Newman got Jamblaya!

:cheers:

And Elaine had the recipe for Mulacataney.

:cheers:

""OK, what was the soup George tried to order before being told to leave the store from the Soup Nazi?"

It was "Bisque", geez that was an easy one :)

I'm one of those freaks who sees the things that are wrong in movies, tv shows, etc. I don't try to do it, I just pick up on them for some reason. For example, in the movie Anaconda, when the boat is sitting in front of a waterfall look closely and you'll see the waterfall is flowing up instead of down. Somebody spliced the film in backwards. :rolleyes:

Anyway, where Seinfeld's concerned (my wife and I are both huge fans) this is more of an "I'd like to know if they did it on purpose". In "The Dinner Party" (episode 77) Jerry and Elaine are at the bakery to pick up a gift. While waiting, Jerry has a black and white cookie. When he gets it, he takes a bite of half black and half white at the top. As the scenes change, the white and black sides flip. Sometimes the black is on the left and sometimes it's on the right. The problem is the cookie is only frosted on one side and the first bite is the only one taken, so it has to be two different cookies in the different scenes. Was it planned or just an oops?

Not just any "bisque"! What kind/flavor??

Well is was "Crab Bisque" of course :)

Next!

...and there lies a problem. How did Newman get Jambalaya at "The Soup Kitchen"? Jambalaya is not a soup. :rolleyes: I guess they didn't research that one too much.

porsche freak he is!
 

I heard that he built a special garage in manhatten, because he didnt have enought space on the streets to park his porsches. so he gutted out an appartment and made a special garage door on a street that nobody has a garage. peeps park on the streets. also heard that the boxster was on his top 10 list of best ever porsches.....

What I always found interesting is that this show had a strong Jewish influence. Many shows had some reference to something or someone Jewish so I was always surprised to see Jerry in German cars. I thought that someone would have given him pressure to not buy German given the holocaust or at least not drive them in the show.

At least he can forgive our German friends for their temporary insanity...

I was told by the Porsche sellsman in Pasadena when I bought my Porsche that he owns/owned every production model ever made.

And that he has a standing buy order with an undisclosed Porsche dealership to automaticly every year buy several un-named models!

Course the sellsman new I liked the "Seinfeld" show and he may have been feeding me a line? :)

If you look close during shows, you will see things around the his apartment that are Porsche related.

I guess this could be a bit of show trivia too, but I think Jerry's mother mentioned not wanting to drive a German car...Maybe the show where he bought his dad a Caddy???

Anyone?

He drove Saabs on the show, (never Porsches, right?)

Also, Jerry did 'make out' w/ a girl while watching 'Schindler's List' :)

OK, time to put the hammer down.

Name all eleven soups offered by the Soup Nazi.

Crab bisque and Jambalaya are two.

Edit: And I see the unique spelling for Mulligatawny.

So, eight more.

Well I know for sure he drove a BMW. It was the show when the valet stunk up the car :) I think he also was driving a bimmer during the bubble boy episode.

And rbennett, you are right, you see a porsche poster in a few episodes.

SoCal, my eyes.......their burning......need sleep :)

I will post all the soups the Nazi served tommorrow!

Hi,

Interesting replies so far. But, I am one of the 0.001% of the US Population which never saw a single episode. I've just never been a Fan of JS (Porschephile or not)...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Even one of these babies?

Yup Jerry does own a 959. One of only 200 made, but he cannot drive it as it is not street legal in the US...

What was the real name of the girl he called Mulva, and what were the two nicknames that Jerry mentions in that episode?

What was Krammer wanting to borrow when Jerry said:

"I think your boys should stay in their own neigborhood"

I'm sure he does, I know Bill Gates and Paul Allen own one. They even bought 2 extra so the feds could smash them into a wall for collision tests and let them get their cars out of customs.

BTW: Nice pic!! It is now my wallpaper :)

Jerry's bathing suit

What does Kramer feed the horse that gives it gas? Bonus points if you can name the the horse

Chilly Beans and the horses name was Rusty :)

you got the horses name right, but not the food...

Slight offensive technicality, 5 yard penalty, repeat first down... whistle blow

It was Beef-A-Reeno

Jerry has a poster on his wall of a 911 getting air and it has a custom license plate. Porsche sent these out to all autoweek subscribers in like 1989. I don't know who else they sent them to, but the license plate is different on every poster, mine says Doug and my friends had his last name. we didn't order them they just showed up in the mail one day. For a young broke porsche addict too get a poster from Porsche of a 911 with your name on it was the bomb.

its getting hard think of any that wouldn't be cross posts from the other forum but here goes...

In the Chinese food episode, Jerry and George tell Elaine that they will give her $50 to do what?

Here's what I did to impoive my clinical garage, order a very impressive Porsche calendar.

When you recieve it, tear each page out and frame it.

Hang each page on your garage wall, have a friend sign it, something like:

"Hang loose buddy, James Dean" or "Your the best Jerry Seinfeld"

Its good beer time conversation in your garage :)

Why would this shock you???

The 986forum is one of the best Porsche destinations in the world for Boxsters, Rennlist is the best destinations for other than Boxsters.

There are over 50 million destinations on the internet and to think anyone would visit more than one site, well the nerve of them?? :)

wombat7, when will you graduate and whats your major???

I graduate in November and my degree is in Computer Engineering... Hopefully I will be in a Boxster S, used of course, by December or January ;)

Hi,

Interesting bit of Urban Legend, but do you have a credible source for this..??

Gates did indeed buy a 959 back in 1989. When unable to import it, he stored it for 2 years and then bought a Chateau in France just outside Paris and had the Car moved there which he drove everytime he visited. Paul Allen also bought a 959, also stored it.

In 1998, Both Cars were imported to this Country by Porsche Tuner, Driver and Enthusiast - Bruce Canepa. The Cars were refitted with Motec OBD compliant ECU, as opposed to Bosch Motronic (incapable of reading 0² sensors), Catalytic Convertors and Airpump from 993TT, new Alternators, Oil Pumps and replacement of sequential Turbos with a pair of Ball bearing, Garrett Turbos in a Parallel set-up. Hp is up to 600 over the original 450, making them EPA compliant and were permitted under the DOT Show and Display Exemption.

This allows the Cars to be driven on the Street or the Track (ostensibly to/from Shows and Displays) up to 2,500 mi./yr.

Canepa has refitted 39 959's to date and received DOT S&D permits for each of them... Source: Sports Car International, Vol 150, Pg. 6, Sept. 2003 . Also see: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/quickies/1233872.cms . Hope this helps...

With all the outsourcing going on you will be lucky to afford a 20 year old american car. :(

Go up to a table of oldsters and eat one of their eggrolls. (But only Jerry made the offer.)

Elaine tried to whisper that she would give them $25 for an eggroll, but they couldn't hear her and she chickened out.

That's why I'm working in motorsports and not computer engineering ;)

Re: Gates and his 959

I remember reading a bio on him a few years back and it spoke of his 959 and how he drove it.

If I remember correctly, they got diplomatic plates for them and were thus allowed to drive them for one or two years...at which time the plates expired, and the cars were stored.

I don't know if they had to have someone else 'own' them to do this or not.

The bio also spoke of a swimming pool full of girls from deja vu :cheers:

Good times, I'm sure.
