Quotes
Elaine Benes: Here's one. I borrowed Puddy's car, and all the presets on his radio were Christian-rock stations.
George Costanza: I like Christian rock. It's very positive. It's not like those real musicians who think they're so cool and hip.
Elaine Benes: So you think that Puddy actually believes in something?
Jerry Seinfeld: It's a used car. He probably never changed the presets.
Elaine Benes: Yes, he is lazy.
Jerry Seinfeld: Plus, he probably doesn't know how to program the buttons.
Elaine Benes: Yes, he is dumb.
Jerry Seinfeld: So you prefer dumb and lazy to religious?
Elaine Benes: Dumb and lazy I understand.

I Fell Off My Chair!

There are so many hilarious things here, I don't know where to start. First of all we have George, trying to impress the board where he works, but realizes that when he says something clever, he must get up and leave to intensify the effect. His crazy boss decides that this is the way for him to act as well. Meanwhile. Elaine finds out that Puddy is religious and when she asks him if that is true he wants to carry on a relationship with her, despite the fact that she is going to hell. When they go to a priest he delivers bad news for Puddy. The topper is Kramer who along with his friend go to a medical school to pretend they have diseases so the interns can diagnose. Kramer draws gonorrhea. His use of the word adds all kinds of hilarity and the fight ensues later is hilarious. One the two or three better episodes.
