Jerry Gets a Little Too Much Kramer on Seinfeld
More from Seinfeld → 33 videosThis clip turns the familiar Jerry-and-Kramer contrast into a wonderfully uncomfortable bit of character comedy: Jerry’s horror is matched by Kramer’s bizarre pride in being physically present in his friend’s life. The absurd medical setup also captures Seinfeld’s talent for making an ordinary friendship inconvenience feel like a full-scale personal crisis, with the performers’ opposing reactions doing most of the comic work.
A poorly timed “heads up” lands Jerry in the hospital after a hobby knife nicks his jugular vein. Fortunately, there’s a donor ready to step in and provide the blood he needs—Kramer.
Jerry is horrified when he learns exactly who supplied his transfusion, but Kramer couldn’t be more pleased. He proudly informs his friend, “You got three pints of Kramer in you, buddy!” giving Jerry one more reason to wish he’d ducked.
Seinfeld is streaming now on Netflix.
