Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the final episode to include the audience's applause whenever Kramer (Michael Richards) makes his first entrance. Larry David asked the studio audience to stop the applause as it was throwing the actors' timing off.
- GoofsWhen Stan (Tom Alan Robbins) and Myra (Jeannie Elias) explain to Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) and Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) what's expected of them regarding the Bris and refer to the baby by name. According to Jewish law, however, a baby is named at his bris after being circumcised.
- Quotes
Cosmo Kramer: Don't ever question my instincts, because my instincts are honed. Look at that.
[Kramer shows newspaper]
Jerry Seinfeld: What now?
[Jerry reads newspaper]
Jerry Seinfeld: Hospital receives grant to conduct DNA research. Government funds genetic research at area hospital... Yeah, so?
Cosmo Kramer: Pigman, baby. Pigman.
Elaine Benes: Oh, if I hear about this pigman one more time...
Cosmo Kramer: I'm tellin ya the pigman is alive. The governments been experimenting with pigmen since the fifties.
Jerry Seinfeld: Will you stop it. Just because a hospital gets a grant to study DNA doesn't mean they are creating a race of mutant pigmen.
Cosmo Kramer: Oh. Jerry wake up to reality. It's a military thing. They're probably creating a whole army of pig warriors.
George Costanza: I wish there were pigmen. You get a few of these pigmen walking around I'm looking a whole lot better. Then if somebody wants to fix me up at least they could say, Hey he's no pig-man!
Jerry Seinfeld: Believe me, there'd be plenty of women going for the pigmen. No matter what the deformity you'll find some group of perverts attracted to it. Ooo that little tail turns me on.

Right off, George demands that the hospital pay for the damage to his car.At first ,you may regard him as a callous jerk, but the more you think about it, the guy's got a point.Guaranteed, that if he took it to court, he would win. Or, it would be settled before that--again, in his favor. Secondly, Jerry and Elaine are uncomfortable being the Godparents, and rightfully so.The mother and father--besides not being the best looking couple I've ever seen- are indeed boundless, "level jumping" on the friendship.
Finally, some reviewers have stated their belief that the Mohel was drunk. Wrong.He is a hopelessly neurotic sociopath--played in sterling fashion by Charles Levin- who clearly is not very good at what he does for a living.
So make sure you mention this episode instead of the one where everyone is terrified of this four foot, 13 inch guy behind the soup counter,or how long any of the four principals can go without an exercise in onanism.
