The weirdest episode of Seinfeld I saw - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The one they show the episode in backwards when Elaine,Jerry and George go to India and Kramer tries to keep himself from making FDR's wish of him dropping dead to come true

That one probably also gets my vote for weirdest episode. I'm used to 'em all by now, but that one would stand out as being slightly strang.

Maestro · 11-11-2004, 06:43 PM

I hadn't thought about it as weirdest, but it does stand out from the rest.
I find it a noteworthy episode.

Here's our 164 The Betrayal/the backwards ep discussion thread, or as I like to call it 461 Eht Layarteb.

Best line in that episode is "You can stuff your sorry's in a sack, mister!" LOL

slackermonkey · 11-11-2004, 07:34 PM

I love "The Betrayal." One of the most unique episodes, I thought.

From an old post:

>>>sa·ri also sa·ree:
An outer garment worn chiefly by women of India and Pakistan, consisting of a length of lightweight cloth with one end wrapped about the waist to form a skirt and the other draped over the shoulder or covering the head.<<<

Ha, that's quite the pun.

slackermonkey · 11-13-2004, 09:06 PM

Ha! It's amazing how many levels of humor this show can reach.

Seinatra · 11-15-2004, 07:02 PM

The last episode (the finally) was weird. It just didn't have the feel of a normal show at all. It seemed like the characters were forcing out many of thier lines.

slackermonkey · 11-15-2004, 08:40 PM

Yeah, the finale was a disappointment. Ironic that Jerry ended the show so early so he could leave on a high note, yet his show had one of the worst finales.

atlantisrising · 11-29-2004, 10:52 AM

I must admit, I was a little disappointed by the finale. Oh well, it was still a good show.

H. E. Pennypacker · 12-16-2004, 07:55 AM

Not so much weird episodes as episodes that I can't beleive they were allowed to make!

Season 3:

The Limo
This 3rd Season Jaunt starts of innocently enough but then quickly descends into a realm of guns, violence and facism where few other sitcoms dare to tread. Writer Larry Charles summed it up when he said - "You couldn't see this on Who's the Boss?!"

Season 4:

The Handicapped Spot
There wasn't one politically correct second in this half hour, some critics called it reprehensible and most of the crass insensitivty certainly laid the groundwork for Susan's callous death at the end of season 7

The Weirdest to me was The Blood from season 9, it felt like a cartoon, Kramer pouring blood into his radiator, Jerry getting all the transfusions, George + Sex + Food, Lloyd Bridges guest starring posthumously - it's all too much - if I switch my brain off it can be funny, but I can't reconcile it with the rest of the series.

Excellent H.E.!
For *weirdness* The Plasma Episode is a good call.

I'm also in agreement with Seinatra that The Finale had a really different feel to it, qualifiying it for the catagory, but I give leadway since it was an ender [and trying to be different than the others].

Maestro · 12-18-2004, 11:44 AM

It was 12 eps later at the very end of 172 The Burning that displayed the dedication:

"In memory of our friend, Lloyd Bridges."

I've noticed that almost all, if not all, the episodes of Seinfeld start with the word "The". Is this true?
