Recap / Seinfeld S3 E3 "The Pen"

Go To

While visiting his parents, Jerry makes the mistake of accepting a gift from his father's friend: a pen that can write in space.


Tropes:

  • The Heckler: Jerry tries to do stand-up to distract from Jack and Morty's fight, but nobody's interested.
    Jerry: Hey, how you folks doing tonight?
    Man: Who are you?
    Jerry: Have you ever noticed how they always give you the peanuts on the planes?
    Woman: Not my Harry! He flies first class!
    Jerry: Who ever thought the first thing somebody wants on a plane is a peanut?
    Man: I'd rather have a bottle of scotch!
  • Shout-Out: A doped-up and delirious Elaine imitates Marlon Brando's famous cry of "STELLA!!!" from A Streetcar Named Desire.
  • Written-In Absence: George and Kramer do not appear, easily explained by their not accompanying Jerry and Elaine on the trip to Florida. This is the second and last episode not to feature Kramer, the only episode not to feature George, and also the only episode in which more than one of the four main characters is absent.
