Recap / Seinfeld S 5 E 1 The Mango

Go To

Jerry begs Elaine for another chance when she reveals her true feelings about their relationship; Meanwhile, Kramer, who's been banned from his favorite fruit shop, turns George onto the erotic pleasures of fruit, specifically the mango.


Tropes:

  • Anorgasmia: Jerry finds out that Elaine faked all of her orgasms when the two of them were dating. Elaine says it wasn't his fault: "I just didn't have them back then."
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Joe bans Jerry from his shop just because he found out the latter was buying fruit for Kramer, who he recently banned.
  • Fake Orgasm: The characters Discuss faking orgasms, and Elaine admits that she always faked when she was with Jerry, upsetting him. Later, Kramer says that he sometimes faked it so that could he wrap it up and move on to other things. In the end, George accuses his girlfriend of faking, causing her to throw him out.
  • Friends with Benefits: The episode features a Call-Back to this premise after Jerry discovers Elaine faked orgasms with him when they were dating, which put him in a foul mood.
    Elaine: We have to have sex to save the friendship!
    Jerry: Sex... to save the friendship?
  • Get Out!:
    • Karen throws George out after he accuses her of faking her orgasm.
    • Joe says this to Jerry word for word once he finds out the latter was buying fruit for Kramer, and bans him from the store.
  • Persona Non Grata: Kramer (and later Jerry) is banned from Joe's fruit shop for complaining about the quality of his fruit.
  • P.O.V. Cam: Karen, George's Girl of the Week, kicks him out of the bedroom after he accuses her of faking her orgasm and he can't find his glasses. Cut to an out-of-focus shot from George's perspective, as he looks across the bed for his glasses, as she continually yells at him to get out.
  • Serious Business: Joe's fruit. Kramer buys one bad peach from him, tries to return it (after he already took a bite out of it), and it erupts into an argument that ends with Joe banning Kramer from the store.
