As someone who watches Seinfeld as much as I do, even the smallest of new revelations are extremely welcome. I had one tonight when watching “The Muffin Tops<\/a>“, from Season 8. This is the episode where Kramer starts his “Peterman Reality Tour” (based on Kenny Kramer’s NYC “tour”<\/a>), and at one point attemps to take Elaine and Mr. Lippman’s muffin “stumps” to the dump.<\/p>\n

If you’re a fan, you’re probably aware that he was unsuccesful dumping the muffins. This, however, is not the important part of the episode. The dump that Kramer visits is “Jiffy Dump”, which looks suspiciously like “Jiffy Park” (where prostitues were turning tricks in the parking lot) from “The Wig Master<\/a>“, an episode that aired in Season 7, 26 episodes and over a year later! Same logo, same attendent, same “office” (the booth where the parking attendant, or dump attendant hangs out). Incredible. <\/p>\n

Taking this connection even further, the fabulous attendant (Chaim Jeraffi<\/a>) has pretty much the same lines. In “The Wig Master”, he says to George, “can’t do it” when he wants to take his car out of the lot and advises him to “take it up with Consumer Affairs” when George complains about the hookers in his car. In “The Muffin Tops”, he tells Kramer “can’t do it” when Kramer tries to unload the unruly stumps, and Kramer yells “maybe I will take it up with Consumer Affairs” as he gets back on the bus with the bag of stumps.<\/p>\n

One other note: At one point, Slippery Pete, of “Frogger” fame, is on the Peterman Reality Tour. He’s the guy who says: “What is this? A piece of pound cake?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
