History Seinfeld / TropesOToZ

* RealityHasNoSubtitles: Several one-shot and minor foreign characters spoke fluent, uninterrupted languages of their respective nationalities, occasionally without the aid of subtitles, such as The Soup Nazi, and Kramer's Hispanic friend that showed up for one episode and was never spoken of again, relying on the RuleOfFunny and RuleOfDrama, as they can fluently speak English if need be.

* OutOfOrder:
** With the exception of the final season, each season had a few episodes that were aired out of chronological order (for instance, "Male Unbonding" is the second episode of the series, but the fourth to originally air).
** A particularly notable example is "The Stranded", which aired during season 3 but was produced during season 2. It's notable because George was unemployed during season 3, but had a job during season 2. This is why Jerry gave a brief introduction in the original airing that the episode was meant to air earlier in the run.
** In [[{{Rerun}} reruns]], no channel seems to have any particular order in which they air episodes... one common practice is that whenever a channel airs the show back-to-back as part of their regular schedule, one will be an episode from an earlier season, and the other from a later season, and vice-versa (in the case of TBS, whenever reaching a two-parter, both airings would be reserved for both parts). Near the end of their rights to the series, TBS began airing three episodes a night, and started play three episodes in chronological order up till certain points when they will bounce ahead or behind a few seasons (for example, Season Four will air for a week or so, then they will bounce to Season Nine).

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We don't actually see just what happens to Elaine after the gang is convicted at the end of [[GrandFinale "The Finale"]]; we can only assume she's sent to a women's prison.

* StockSchtick: In “The Summer of George”, George has an ImagineSpot of Jerry asking “What’s the deal with airplane peanuts?”

** In another episode, George is sleeping in Jerry's cupboards. Jerry opens the door, closes it, [[DoubleTake opens it again]], and exclaims that he accidentally bought something in low-fat instead of regular with no mention of George.

* PoseOfSilence: parodied with George and Jerry hiding their mouths from a deaf lip-reader in order to talk about her while she is sitting at the same table. As it turned out, she knew exactly what they were saying anyway.

* SuchAPhony: Elaine to George in "The Postponement", where she is jealous of his engagement, and the trope name drop and partly off-screen example of Mike Moffitt and Jerry in "The Parking Space".

** Elaine's latest boyfriend, Dick, is a recovering alcoholic in "The Red Dot", but falls off the wagon when Jerry accidentally lets his alcoholic drink be grabbed by Dick at a Christmas party.

** In "The Wink," vegetarian Elaine ''ruthlessly'' mocks and derides Jerry when he tries to stop eating meat.
* OutOfFocus: In the episode "The Stall," after the scene with the banged up Tony, George disappears from the episode entirely, and is not seen or heard from again until the next one.
