  • Fridge Brilliance:
    • In the season 7 finale where Larry says George and his ex-wife should not hook up in the Seinfeld reboot because the show would be better that way. Everyone disagrees with him about this. Then at the end, Larry looks like he himself is going to reconcile with his ex, only to throw it away based on a perceived disrespect of wood. A lot of people in real life thought that ending was fine. The ending that was similar to the one that everyone else in-show thought would be terrible for the Seinfeld reboot.
    • In "Officer Krupke", Larry has to pretend that he wears women's panties to cover for Jeff, who is in hot water when Susie opened his glove compartment and found panties. Despite Larry pretending to "adjust" down there, Susie doesn't buy it and Jeff pleads for him to help. So Larry drives to Jeff's house, along the way shouting "KRUP YOU!" out the window of his car at some kids who were selling lemonade. The girl's mom calls the police on Larry, and when the cop arrives at Jeff's house, he tells Larry to take off his pants (they weren't paid for; Larry kept the pants out of protest that his old pants were misplaced when he went to pick them up after a fire alarm kicked everyone out of the building). When he drops his pants in front of Jeff, Susie, and the cop, he's wearing women's panties. It's possible that Larry purposefully shouted "KRUP YOU!", knowing that the police would come to Jeff's house and force him to give up his pants, thus completing Jeff's favor while not looking too "staged" to Susie.
