What we didn't know is that Michael Richards injured himself when he
taped that scene. Here's what an article on skinny jeans says:
'Jerry Seinfeld poked fun at slim-fitting jeans in a 1996 episode of
"Seinfeld." The Kramer character barges into Jerry's apartment wearing
a pair of jeans so tight he is forced to adopt an unnatural walk. When
Kramer has trouble taking off the jeans, Jerry tries to yank them off
by the legs. The actor playing Kramer, Michael Richards, injured
himself slightly during the filming of that scene.
"As Jerry recalls, it was just a minor little muscle spasm that
annoyed him for a couple of days," says Mr. Seinfeld's publicist,
Elizabeth Clark Zoia. "But they made our point about men's jeans that
require too much effort."'
Sorry, wrong link. Here's the correct one...
From The Merv Griffin Show:
NEWMAN: Lately, though, I've been, uh, - I've been buying the generic
brand of waxed beans. you know.
I rip [off] the label. I can hardly tell the difference.
KRAMER: Well, we've officially bottomed out. Who's our next guest?
