Why am I blogging about another Seinfeld episode? Because this one is hilarious. You are introduces to Uncle Leo of course, but even Jerry Seinfeld's entire family (his dad was played by a different actress in an earlier episode) and is now replaced with the late Barny Martin who loves to talk about how he created the beltless trench coat.
Krammer wants to create levels in his house, althought Jerry doesn't believe that would never happen and bets Krammer that he would never do it. Jerry automatically wins the bet.
Jerry, with Elaine, are invited his mother's cousin's 50th wedding anniversary dinner and as predicated, he ends up sitting next to Uncle Leo who ends up talking about nothing but Jerry's cousin Jeffery. Why?? Why is he so obsesses about a cousin we never see in the series? He works for the parks department for crying out loud. Eventually the conversation goes to horses and ponies and Elaine says that she didn't care for kids who had ponies. Jerry agreed stating that he hated anybody who had a pony growing up. Soon Manya, the cousin who is having the 50th wedding anniversary says "I HAD A PONY!!!!" Which makes everyone in the room go silent.
That part makes me laugh all the time. She exclaims that everyone growing up had a pony when she was growing up in Poland. She gets upset and leaves the dinner table. Her husband says it has been an emotional day for her. The next day, Jerry gets a call as his parents leave and he shouts out, "Manya died!" In disbelief, Jerry's mom thinks that it could have been the remark that killed her, and the funeral is set on the same day of Jerry's supposed baseball game, and feels obligated that he should go because he might have killed her. I don't know if he did, but just thinking about the spirit world and him thinking Manya is waiting in the background of a funeral home, well that's just stupid.
If you died would your spirit want to hang out in a funeral home. Mine would venture into another world or somewhere that you would only dream of, but nope. Elaine thinks Manya's spirit won't travel anywhere but to a funeral home. LOL. {BTW at the funereal home, they mention the pony again}
But the truth of why Manya was upset wasn't because of Jerry's remark, it was becks of the potato salad. I guess worrying about potato salads can kill. And Elaine doesn't get their apartment, it goes to cousin Jeffrey.
I think that sometimes, we can believe in stupid stuff, silly stuff or the unknown, and being a spirit after death, well for some people it seems far fetch for others, they really believe. I believe in spirits true, but after I die, I don't wanna hang out at a funeral home getting even at a person who made a remark about ponies that would get me angry, but karma, that's what I believe in and that is what happened to Jerry at the end.
This episode is very funny, like the Chinese Restaurant episode it;s an early one, and I love it. Seinfeld is a show that will never die out for me and I love it. Till then, believe in the spirit world, and be careful what you say to a cranky old lady, because karma can come back to haunt you, till then Ciao Bloggers
