Kramer sets up an online dating site for his task rabbit clients who he feels “are made for each other.” There is no online portion of it – they just meet him and each other at the coffee shop to be introduced. Kramer: “I call it Task Rabbit Harmony.”
The gang goes to the movies. Elaine buys a ticket to go see “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” by herself. Jerry: “You know James Franco isn’t in.. he died in the first one!” Elaine: “I know but he’s in the preview!” Jerry: “You’re setting yourself up for disappointment sister.” Jerry and his new girlfriend go see “Lucy” but she won’t stop talking about how scientifically inaccurate it is. Jerry: “It’s a movie! Suspend your reality!” George and Kramer go see “22 Jump Street” and promise that if they are ever both unemployed at the same time they will become undercover cops together. Newman sees “The Purge Anarchy” and becomes paranoid that it will become a reality one day. He is super nice to Jerry from then on.
After finally finding out what #tbt actually stands for, Uncle Leo decides to coin new online acronyms. “KMFB – kicking my feet back. TCOB – taking care of business.” Jerry: “What business? Aren’t you always KMFB?” Uncle Leo: “It would be KYFB if you’re asking me- kicking your feet back.” Jerry: “I’d like to kick something..” Uncle Leo: “I’ve got more. There’s MaM: Mad about Monday- all the times you want to rant about something, do if for Mad about Monday. Tell all Tuesday- Tat – share all the little things you do that day.. World Wide Wednesday- post pictures of places you’ve been or want to go.” Jerry: “Enough!!” Uncle Leo: “I still need one for Friday..”
Elaine and Babs Kramer go to a wine&canvas night but pre-game with peppermint schnapps. Elaine confesses her secret love for Jerry. Babs: “Which one is he? The mailman is mine!” Elaine: “Newman?!” They get kicked out of the painting class after the first fifteen minutes for being too drunk and for trying to paint each others hair.
Uncle Leo learns a new Facebook abbrev. SMH – overuses it in real life (IRL). Leo: “You don’t say hello? Shaking my head.”
Back on task-rabbit to try to improve his rating Kramer signs up to shop for someone’s groceries. He immediately raids Jerry’s fridge for all the essentials.
George has Weird Al’s parody “Word Crimes” stuck in his head at work but doesn’t know if it’s cool to like it and can’t figure out what “your participles danglin'” means. Tries to work it into conversation without mentioning the song but no one understands what he is talking about.
Kramer and Newman (who haven’t played a board game together since their endless game of Risk) start a game of Settlers of Catan but quickly realize it is meant for more than two players. When no one else will play with them they each agree to take on the role of two players but promise not to collude with themselves.
Elaine starts using pinterest for the first time ever. She makes what she thinks is a secret board filled with posts about the royal baby’s first birthday. Everyone at work sees it, earning her the new new nickname “Queen George.” She quickly starts posting pictures of flowers and braids like everyone else.
Hearing about the kickstarter guy who earned $50k for potato salad, Kramer starts a campaign for making his pasta sculptures into life size realities for an exhibit: “Fusilli Jerry and Friends” to be held in Jerry’s apartment. Jerry: “Fusilli Jerry says F u silly Kramer. Not on my watch will you create a bunch of pasta sculptures in my living room.” Kramer: “Fine I’ll ask Ravioli Newman.”
What is David Puddy doing now that both hockey and the World Cup are over?
Uncle Leo now on facebook thinks that #tbt stands for “tag by tomorrow” and begins tagging people in all their #tbt pictures like it’s a game. He also discovers creating facebook groups (about ten years late!) and starts making a group for everything. Uncle Leo: “Jerry, why didn’t you join my Cousin Jefferey appreciation group?”
Morty Seinfeld: “Leo, everyone knows #tbt stands for truly blessed thanks.. you know when people want to show off humbly so they say they are truly blessed thanks.”
George stares down a lady with a bedazzled face at a hip new beer garden. George: “If she didn’t want people to stare at her she wouldn’t have covered her face in tiny sparkly things! I’ll stare as much as I want!”
Jerry does stand up at a sleep away camp, “What’s the deal with bug spray? It’s like bugs are attracted to it. It should be called ‘bug stay’! What’s the deal with s’mores? All that sugar right before bed? Come on counselors, don’t you want the kids to sleep? It should be graham crackers and NyQuil.” He is asked to leave.
Kramer signs up to be a task-rabbit and gets hired to put together someone’s IKEA bookshelf. He calls Newman over to help and they assemble the eighteen pieces together backwards and have to take it apart and start over, eventually breaking the entire piece and having to buy a new one. Kramer gets his review on task-rabbit, poor/insufficient.
Elaine goes to the ER in the middle of the night thinking she has a blood-clot in her leg. Nothing at all funny happens there.
George’s girlfriend dumps him because he can’t find a coke bottle with her name (Jessica) on it. George: “Jerry, as soon as I left her apartment I started seeing Jessica coke bottles all over the place. I could buy a dozen to try to win her back.” Jerry: “This is a new low..”
Kramer tries to sell his free slushie from 7-11’s Free Slushie Day on July 11th. No one will take the neon blue drink and Kramer drinks it himself – can’t sleep for three days.
Elaine and Babs (Kramer’s mom) have their first girls night out. Where do they go?
Uncle Leo discovers “poking” on facebook and gets mad at Jerry for not poking him back. “First you don’t say hello to your uncle on the street and now you won’t even poke me?”
Elaine can’t stop singing “Fancy” by Iggy Azalea. George tries to do his own intervention. “Elaine, the song makes no sense – there’s no fast lane from LA to Tokyo. It could be “first class from LA to Tokyo, but not ‘fast lane’..” Elaine: “Wow, you’ve really given this a lot of thought.”
Kramer gets the gang to grow mustaches and do Mo-Vember in July instead of November. Jerry: “Now we just look like people with mustaches.. no one will know it’s for Mo-Vember.” Kramer: “Mu-ly. Mustaches in July Jerry.” Elaine: “What do I get to do?” Kramer: “Grow a uni-bro Elaine. Uni-ly. Unis in July.”
After hearing about the sleeping-Yankee fan who sued ESPN for teasing him on TV, George tries to sue for the time they broadcasted him eating ice cream at a tennis match.
Trying to see the July 4th fireworks at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Elaine is convinced they are only letting beautiful women through the barricades. She puts on a giant raincoat over her dress, messes up her hair, and tries to get in – to no avail. Then she goes to the Shake Shack bathroom and gets all fancy (still singing “I’m so fancy…”). The police still don’t let her through. “That’s it, I’m going to Shake Shack!”
At a baseball game, George tries to get a free refill on his big gulp souvenir cup. Each concession stand tells him no. Finally a woman says, “Sure, why not?” George: “Will you marry me?”
The Seinfelds and Costanzas meet Babs Kramer (Kramer’s mom) for the first time and vie for her friendship. The Costanzas invite her over for paella (“I made all this paella..!”) and the Seinfelds invite her to their place in Florida (“You really don’t have to be friends with the Costanzas.. In fact, we Can’tStandThem.”) Babs choses neither and befriends Elaine instead. They start a weekly girls-night out. (More to come on that front..!)
George doesn’t know what a “plug-in” is. George: “All I know is a plug in is something I’m supposed to have that I don’t have. Right up there with silverlight and flash players, and all the other things everyone else seems to have that I don’t!” Jerry: “You just have to click ‘install plug-in’ and you’ll have a plug-in.” George: “How does everyone else know that?”
After eating banana-tuna sushi at a chic fusion restaurant, Kramer refuses to eat at any sushi place that doesn’t serve it. Kramer: “These places don’t even have any bananas!” Jerry: “Why don’t you just bring your own bananas?” Kramer: “Now we’re talking!”
Elaine vows to boycott Hobby Lobby after the Supreme Court ruling but realizes she’s never even been to a Hobby Lobby and doesn’t know if there even is one in Manhattan.
Kramer answers a craigslist ad to be a spot holder on line for Shakespeare in the Park. He decides it would be most profitable to get paid to hold several spots at once not knowing about the two-ticket minimum. After waiting for five hours, he gives up his spot ten minutes before the ticket booth to go to the bathroom. Kramer: “Jerry, you remember what happened last time I held it in for too long..” Jerry: “What did you tell all the people whose tickets you were supposed to get?” Kramer: “They should wait for their own five hours next time.. see how it feels.”
George gets obsessed with the #thingstimhowardcouldsavetwitter feed, overusing it of course in all his conversations. George: “You remember Babu’s cafe? Tim Howard could have saved it! My dear frogger video game that got smashed to pieces by a truck? Tim Howard! The marble rye? Tim would have thrown it right into the window on the first try. Remember that time in Hamptons when Nina walked in on me changing.. you know.. shrinkage? Tim Howard would have somehow prevented that!” Jerry: “Alright, slow your roll Georgie Boy.” George’s obsession with Tim Howard jokes finally comes to an end when he’s on a date and makes a joke about Tim Howard saving Blockbuster from going bankrupt. Date: “My father was the CEO of Blockbuster!” George: “Save me now Tim Howard.”
Bania gets into #ThingsTimHowardCantSave “Your hairline George. Tim Howard couldn’t save that.” What other Seinfeld things could/couldn’t Tim Howard save?
