The Butter Shave
November 15, 2005

KramerTurkey.jpg

Does anyone remember the Seinfeld episode where Kramer started buttering his face when he shaved? I always think of it at Thanksgiving time and picture Kramer's head on that turkey's body.

"Jerry, it's vastly superior to any commercial shaving cream"

Then he decides his face feels so good, that he's going to butter his whole body. He sunbathes on the roof with it but he "cooks" himself so he has to take a hot tub so he doesn't dry out.

Later in Kramer's apartment, he's laying in the hot tub and Newman is seated beside him. If you look closely, you see Newman is reading "Alive". LOL. Subliminal reference to cannibalism.

Newman: How much longer you gonna be, I'm starving here.

Kramer: Just a few more squirts. Cause I gotta stay juicy.

Newman: The smell. It's still with you, huh?

Kramer: Yeah, it's baked on. Put some butter in. Stir it up so it melts.

Newman stirs the hot tub with a lacrosse stick, licking his lips and working himself up.

Kramer: Ahh, now I'm simmering.

Newman, salivating.....drops the stick and runs out.

Newman: I'll meet you at the coffee shop!.

Next scene:

Newman is seated at the counter at Monks, mumbling to himself.

Newman: Butter. Kramer. Butter. Kramer.

The waitress brings a roasted turkey out on a tray. Newman hallucinates and sees Kramer's head on the turkey.

Kramer/turkey (waving wing): Hey buddy.

Newman screams and runs out of Monks.

Later at the comedy club, Jerry throws his act so Bania who follows doesn't have a warmed up crowd. Kramer accidentally knocks over a bowl of oregano, getting it all over his buttered body.

Kramer: What is this, oregano?

Just then the other kitchen door swings open and a chef busts through carrying a bowl of Parmesan cheese. He trips and empties the bowl all over Kramer.

Kramer: Look at me! I'm all covered in oregano and Parmesan, and it's sticking to me because of the butter! Look at me!

Newman, still salivating, now with a vacant stare, grabs a bunch of green leaves and hands them to Kramer.

Newman: Here. Hold this.

Kramer: What is this, parsley?

Newman makes like he's going to attack Kramer.

Meanwhile Jerry is watching Bania from the side stage.

Jerry: Ah, the sweet stench of failure.

Kramer and Newman, locked in struggle, run past Jerry and onto the stage.

Kramer: Get off of me, get off of me!

God, I miss that show. I'm thinking about doing a Seinfeld skin for the blog.

"Hey there buddy."

This episode is one of my favs...of course Seinfeld being about my favorite show of all time it's hard to say which eps are my favs. But this one is great.

When Kramer is in the hot tub keeping his skin moist and Newman is standing there drooling and helping throw butter in the water...that's classic!
