** Kramer also signs gibberish to Laura when they first meet--although his signs are correct, they're for random words--"know", "monkey", "dance"--and he isn't forming a clear sentence. She signs back "I don't know what you're saying", although later on, they can be seen in the background, apparently "conversing" easily.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Laura misreading Jerry's lips and thinking he said "sex" instead of "six" portends her misreading "sweep" as "sleep". Except. . . as cited above, she signed "sweep" correctly. The actually foreshadowing was when Kramer signed perfectly when explaining to Jerry and Elaine that he knows ASL--but also admitting that he hadn't used it in a while, hence him later misinterpreting what Laura signs.

* CaughtOnTheJumbotron: George very sloppily a hot fudge sundae on the Jumbotron at the US Open, and the commentators mock him for not using a napkin.
* FunWithAcronyms: George is fond of these:
--> '''George''': She's a B.L.\\
'''Jerry''': (confused) A "B.L".??\\
'''George''': A "beautiful lineswoman".
* LampshadeHanging: George is worried that Gwen, his GirlOfTheWeek, might have broken up with him over seeing him eat messily on television. This leads to the following exchange:
--->'''Jerry:''' You really think she would be that superficial?
--->'''George:''' Why not? I would be.
* ObfuscatingDisability: Elaine fakes being deaf so that she doesn't have to make conversation with the driver of the car service. It doesn't work for very long. To quote Elaine: "He caught me hearing".
