“Seinfeld” episode “The Butter Shave” (September 25, 1997) Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), George (Jason Alexander), and Kramer (Michael Richard) Everyone has decided to shave the mustache they promote. Somehow Kramer reveals that the butter turns out to be a higher shaving cream substitute. Everyone worries it, but Kramer loves it, claiming that butter makes his skin softer. He even tries to butter the whole body and bends in the sun to get a spell. Unfortunately, he fell asleep during sunbathing and wakes up with a crisp, turkey skin tinge.
This turns out to be a problem later when Cramer goes to the dinner and meets Newman (Wayne Knight). Newman thinks Kramer smells … delicious. Newman is worried about his appetite. He looks at the dinner and begins to hallucinine Turkey. He sees Kramer’s head on the turkey body. This type of hallucination was probably common in cartoon shorts, but it was surreal on Seinfeld. The “butter shaving” makers had to film Richard’s head against the blue screen and then fixed it on the turkey. It was a very sophisticated special effect for a reasonable sitcom like “Seinfeld”.
“The Butter Shave” was the first and last episode of the first show, and Seinfeld was one of the biggest TV shows of all time. Starring a paid hand over his fist, Seinfeld himself earned $ 1 million for the episode and his three co -star earned $ 600,000. Seems to cast and The writers had allowed the power to go to their headsBecause the last season was more strange and desert than eight before.
Seinfeld “Seinfeld” DVD special features said he had a new mantra for later shows: the confidence of the ditch. The reality was through the window.
Reality is no longer
Seinfeld noted on the special special features of the special special features that “NBC at that moment gave us a lot of ropes to (we) want something. They would cover all the costs, exceed it. Yes, we lived quite high at the time.” Writer Spike Feresten, who would later continue to write Seinfeld’s films “No from Frosted” Pop-Tart Movie NetflixHe was also interviewed, and he reminded that the stories became increasingly ambitious as the show progressed and that they were becoming increasingly disturbed. Feresten also recalled that Seinfeld was sometimes encountered how strange his show became, and how Ferestene quoted:
“(Jerry would say)” Remember the episode in which George hit the golf ball and was inserted into a whale hole? Is it less likely? “And using this rule, any story could go through.”
This is a reference to the fifth episode of “Maritime Biologist” (February 10, 1994) and is only a little repeated. In that episode, Kramer was the one who beat golf balls in the ocean because he had just entered 600 ownership. At the end of the episode, George finds a beach whale in a previously unrelated story while walking on the beach with an old flame. Previously, in the episode, he lied to be a marine biologist to impress him, but now he has to put his non -existent marine biology skills to save. Whether you didn’t know it, the whale was unsuccessful because the cramer golf balls were placed on its blowhole. George has to admit, except for the ball that he is not a whale doctor.
This was, of course, a comedy accident, one that was happening to Seinfeld all the time, but Seinfeld believed it was too wild to ignore, and it could serve as a precedent. If Kramer could throw the ball in the passing whale hole, then everything was on the table. The reality has disappeared and everything is allowed. Do what you will be the whole law. After all, weird is fine.
