* [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength Does Not Know Her Own Strength]]: Gillian, Jerry's date with man hands. She frequently proves herself capable of obscene feats of strength much to Jerry's horror, such as casually ripping a lobster to pieces and managing to remove the cap on a bottle that isn't a twist-off. By the episode's end, she accidentally winds up breaking Jerry's wrist when she tries to stop him from rifling through her purse, with Jerry complaining to his friends later that she almost ripped his arm out of his socket.

* GoodIsBoring: Kevin's gang is far sweeter and saner than the main cast, but their niceties are treated as pretty vanilla and slow: among other things, Feldman is casual enough with Kevin that he can buy him groceries, but also so formal that he has to address himself by name and location every time he comes into Kevin's apartment.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite supposedly being kinder and gentler versions of the ''Seinfeld'' gang, Kevin and his friends immediately give her the boot after she does her trademark "GetOut" move and shoves him so hard that he falls down. It's understandable that he wouldn't want to be around someone who'd do that, but given that she's genuinely sorry and that it was an accident, it seems a little harsh to treat her like ThisIsUnforgivable.
