Irish References in Seinfeld

    I have 2 quick ones that may not be very apparent...

    **In the "The Reverse Peephole" episode (no. 168)
    George reveals to Jerry that he carries Irish money in his wallet. Jerry then takes it out to examine it and it is an old Irish £5 note :)

    **Also In the "The Old Man " episode (No. 58)
    the record sleeve of Irish rockers Therapy's 1994 album Troublegum can be seen on the shelf behind Ron ( the record store owner- played by Tobin Bell)

    AFAIR, there was mimicking of an Irish accent by Jerry at one point but cant remember the exact ep.

    Interested to know if there are any other Irish references :)

    George: I thought he looked Irish
    Jer: what his last nem?
    Elaine: Nelson
    George: Thats not Irish.- The Wizard

    Jer mimmicks an Irish accent in The Phone Message

    Also the scene in The Limo

    Nazi Guy:where ya from?
    Jer: Dublin, originally cereal family couldn't get a bowl

    Also Kramer enters in The Bubble Boy saying Top Of the morning to ya.

    Are you sure it's The Reverse Peephole where George has the £5 note? I've got that episode here and it's not in it, unless there are little diffs between the US and Irish version, I have noticed a few (mostly just different camera angles)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,695 ✭✭✭b20uvkft6m5xwg


    Almost certain.

    As I said its only a fleeting glance and they dont say its a fiver but merely call it "Irish Money" :)

    Check it out here...

    Its in the second paragraph of number 168 synopsis where they mention the wallet.

    Just saw another one the other night...

    Ep No. 169. The Cartoon
    The Improv Club that Sally Weaver is performing her show entitled "Jerry Seinfeld is the Devil" was called...

    "The Samuel Beckett" :)

    I downloaded Ep 58- The old Man and I took this screengrab to illustrate the Therapy album I had mentioned previously in this Thread. The name of the store is "Bleecker Bob's Records". Bob being the record store on owner, Bleecker being Bleecker St. down in the Village in Manhattan :) (note: the Character is credited as "Ron" so maybe Bob is the onwer and Ron is the Sales Assitant.)

    I wonder do Therapy actually know about this ??
    I might write to them to tell them :)

    I found another one kind of Jerry says Thanks a million to NBC in The Pitch, a very Irish phrase
