* MyNewGiftIsLame: For Elaine's birthday gift, Jerry has to tread carefully on what to get her, as he doesn't want to go for anything too plain or suggestive. He settles for giving her $182 so she can buy whatever she wants. Elaine gets upset with Jerry, as she feels it's something her uncle would give her. In addition, she hates the card he gives her, saying she's a wonderful friend and a great pal. This in contrast to Kramer, who gives her the bench she's been wanting as well as a card with a poetic message, to which Elaine reacts more positively.
