The Revenge (Ep. 212)

Jerry and George are both seeking out revenge of their own, each with the help of Kramer and Elaine respectively. George gets mad at his boss because he refuses to let him use his personal bathroom anymore and so he quits. Afterwords he realizes it was a bad idea and decides to go back on Monday pretending that it was just a joke. His boss calls him on it and fires him. In order to get him back, him and Elaine plot to slip his boss a Mickey during the company's 10th anniversary celebration.

Jerry lost $1500 that was in his laundry bag and he believes the owner of the laundromat took it. So, Kramer suggests dumping a bag of quick drying cement into one of the washing machines. They do this, only to later find the envelope of money in Kramer's bag of laundry instead. Jerry ends up giving the owner of the laundromat $1200 to pay for the washing machine.

Interesting fact: First mention of Newman, although you never see him. He threatens to commit suicide in the episode, because he has nothing to live for. In the original, Larry David voices Newman, but later Wayne Knight rerecords the scene with his voice for syndication.

Interesting quote:
"Maybe I could be, like, an announcer, like a color man. You know how I always make interesting comments during the game?" (George)
"Yeah, you make good comments." (Jerry)
"So what about that?" (George)
"Well, they tend to give those jobs to ex-ballplayers and people in broadcasting." (Jerry)
"Well, that's not really fair." (George)

Grade: B+ (Pretty funny episode, especially loved Kramer's scene of dumping concrete in the washing machine)
