Trivia: When Jerry and Elaine discuss how evil Newman is, Elaine comments "Maybe he's an enigma, a mystery wrapped in a riddle." This quote from Winston Churchill was referenced in JFK (1991), which featured Newman actor Wayne Knight.
Trivia: When Jerry is talking about going on a date with Miss Rhode Island, Kramer says "they're never in contention." He really wasn't exaggerating. At the time of the episode, the highest a Miss Rhode Island contestant placed was 3rd runner-up (1968) and other than that, they never were even in the top 15.
Trivia: In the very beginning of the episode the person wearing the cape is none other than co-creator Larry David.
Trivia: The end scene on the bus, when Kramer tells Jerry he's falling apart is a tribute to the film, "Midnight Cowboy" where Ratso tells Joe Buck he's falling apart. Joe Buck was played by Jon Voight, who appears in this episode.
Chosen answer: George does mention his brother in the episode "The Parking Space". They actually really never mention anything that contradicts the fact he had a brother though, it just isn't mentioned.
