"The Baby Shower" is the fifteenth episode of Seinfeld. The episode was the the tenth episode for the show's second season. It aired on May 16, 1991.
[edit] Plot
Elaine holds a baby shower for a friend at Jerry's apartment. George is excited, because he finds the baby shower to be the perfect opportunity to "tell off" the woman who gave him "unequivocally, the worst date of [his] life" by pouring Bosco chocolate sauce on his red collared shirt. These plans prove unsuccessful, as he cannot muster the courage necessary to do so. Ironically, a woman at the party does to Jerry what George had planned to do. Meanwhile, Kramer tries to convince Jerry to pirate cable television to watch the Mets home games. When the Russian cable "providers" show up, they ruin the shower.
The episode was the first episode written by Larry Charles, who remained with the show through the fifth season. He left his mark on the episode by including the "bloodshed and mayhem" scene that "killed off" Jerry, via dream sequence.
[edit] Trivia
 |
Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. |
- George says that his date poured Bosco Chocolate Syrup on his shirt. In a later episode, "The Secret Code", George uses "Bosco" as his ATM code, admitting that it is his favorite brand of chocolate syrup.
- The actress who played Leslie ("George's worst date of his life") was Christine Dunford, who would later play the saleswoman in season five's "The Pie".
- Larry David has mentioned that he disliked putting references to popular culture into Seinfeld episodes, as they often became dated. An early example occurs in this episode, wherein Kramer tries to persuade Jerry into getting cable TV by saying "C'mon, it's the '90s! It's Hammertime!" (a reference to then-popular rap artist MC Hammer).
