Classic Kramer moments

• Gets convulsions while listening to the voice of Entertainment Tonight host Mary Hart. ("The Good Samaritan")
• Meets with Calvin Klein to discuss a men's cologne called "The Beach," which would mimic the scent of the seashore. Klein later markets an identical scent called "Ocean," and stiffs Kramer on the royalty payments. ("The Pick")
• Causes an international incident by trying to procure cigars from the Cuban Embassy. ("The Bubble Boy")
• He guilts Jerry into letting him borrow his VCR because of the blood he gave Jerry after an accident with a scalpel. His VCR was being used to tape Canadian Parliament on C-SPAN. ("The Blood")
• Attempts to prove that the bite marks on a pencil he found in a used car, owned by George, belonged to Jon Voight by comparing them to bite marks left on his arm by Voight. ("The Mom and Pop Store")
• Revives his gambling problem (which he had curbed for three years) when he begins betting with a Texan at an airport on the flights on the screen. He ultimately loses about six thousand dollars.
• Is involved in a license-plate snafu with the state of New York, when he was issued vanity plates that read "ASSMAN". He later found out that the plates belonged to a proctologist. ("The Fusilli Jerry")
• Plans a New Year's party to celebrate the coming of the new millennium, only to find that Newman had scheduled his own party at the same time. Both parties were scheduled for the 31st of December 1999, though Newman accidentally booked the venue for his party for the true millennium eve, December 31, 2000, making his party one year late, and thus "quite lame." ("The Millenium")
• Turned his apartment into a talk-show set, using discarded remnants of The Merv Griffin Show, and held mock interviews similar to those of the disturbed Rupert Pupkin in the 1983 film The King of Comedy.
• Concocts a scheme with Newman to drive large quantities of recyclables to Michigan and make a killing off the state's $.10 deposit. ("The Bottle Deposit")
• Hangs pictures of the apartment building's residents in the lobby, so the residents will be able to address each other by first name in passing. ("The Kiss Hello")
