Recap / Seinfeld S 5 E 20 The Fire

Go To

George panics during a small fire at a kid's party. Elaine's friend heckles Jerry during one of his acts and he plots revenge. Kramer is hailed a hero for saving someone's pinky toe.


Tropes:

  • Blatant Lies: When confronted for his cowardice, George rather unconvincingly tries to state that he was simply leading the people there out to safety.
  • Dirty Coward: George. First when he knocks over some people to get away from a fire and second when he panics and tries to save himself when he thinks someone has a gun.
  • Drama Queen: George tells some firefighters that the fire was an inferno while hooking himself up with an oxygen mask when it was really a small kitchen fire.
  • The Heckler: Toby when she heckles Jerry.
  • Special Guest: Jon Favreau as Eric the Clown.
  • Springtime for Hitler: Jerry’s attempt at revenge against Toby leads to a chain of events that makes Toby’s life better.
  • A Taste of Their Own Medicine: On George's encouragement, Jerry goes to Toby's work and heckles her back. Kramer gets angry at him, but a fellow comedian hails Jerry as a hero, comparing him to Rosa Parks.
