YMMV / Seinfeld S4 E7 "The Bubble Boy"

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: George was fully aware that "Moops" was a misprint but decided to use it to invalidate the Bubble Boy's game-winning answer on a technicality just to spite him. Him continuing to insist that "Moops" is the correct answer while the Bubble Boy is strangling him tracks with his general stubborn nature that's shown throughout the series.
  • Common Knowledge: Some sites (such as IMDB and the defunct TV Tome site), as well as the Season 4 DVD notes claim this episode contains a Plot Hole. In that the directions that Kramer finds in Jerry's apartment should actually be for The Bubble Boy's house, and not to the cabin. However, on a rewatch, it's clear the directions to the Bubble Boy's house are written on a napkin from Monk's while the directions to the cabin (which Kramer finds), are on a regular piece of paper.
  • Fridge Brilliance: The Contrived Coincidence of Jerry ending up in the town the Bubble Boy lived in can be explained by the fact he chose the town that implicitly it seemed familiar, but he didn't know it was there.
  • Strawman Has a Point: The Bubble Boy is an unbelievably rude brat, but both his trivia answer—"The Moors"—and his insistence that the "Moops" written on the answer card is a misprint are correct. (Though most viewers suggest that George is fully aware of this and is only arguing with him because he's fed up with his nastiness.)
