Seinfeld Trivia

Welcome to a trivia game about a show about nothing! Anybody can play (you do not need to sign up before the game starts). Questions will be asked three at a time in this thread, and, if you think you know the answer, you can post with the answer to whichever question(s) you want. 10 points will be awarded for a correct answer, and 5 may be awarded for a partially correct answer at my discretion. There is no penalty for wrong answers, so guess away!

After 35 questions have been asked and answered, the three participants with the highest scores will be asked 5 questions. Whoever answers these 5 questions with the most correct answers will be considered the round's champion.

Scoreboard:
All participants: 0 pts.

Question #1: Name the character who introduced the 'Festivus' holiday.
Question #2: What is George's preffered pseudonym?
Question #3: Which character creates a 'Coffee Table Book about Coffee Tables?'

[sanantonio 0]

1. Frank Costanza, as an alternative to materialistic Christmas. (A Festivus for the rest of us)

2. Architect Art Vandelay, not to be confused with the importer/exporter, Art Corvellay. ("Oh, I suppose you could be an architect")

3. Cosmo Kramer - not only was it a coffee table book about coffee tables, it was a coffee table itself, as seen on Regis and Kathie Lee.

EDIT: Pics added.

[ElBarto92 7]

Very good, Sanantonio, you got 1, 2 and 3 right. That's thirty points, and an extra few for being our first participant (and for the pics!).

Great game, but I'm warning you - I have every episode stenciled in my mind...and wikipedia to boot.

EDIT: 2 post rule?!? SERENITY NOW!!!!

[ElBarto92 7]

[amal81 3]

A to Q5: The soup nazi, dont' remember the actor's name.

[sanantonio 0]

4. Hollywood magic: Los Angeles, CA.




5. Larry Thomas/Yev Kasem (the Soup Nazi) "No soup for you!!"


6. Jackie Chiles "This is the most public yet of my many humiliations."

[ElBarto92 7]

Question #5 goes to Amal81, because I didn't ask for the actor. 4 and 6 go to Sanantonio (thanks for going all out with the pics!)

Scoreboard

Sanantonio: 53 points

Amal81: 10 points

Question #7: In the episode "The Stall," what type of sandwich doesn't Tony like?

Question #8: According to Jerry, what is an alternate title for War and Peace?

Question #9: What was the name of the lunch spot George and Jerry eat at in the episode "The Seinfeld Chronicles (Pilot)?"

[amal81 3]

A to Q9 - Pete's coffee shop!

[sanantonio 0]

Note: On Scrubs (My Self Examination), Larry Thomas plays himself, and denies he is the soup nazi when questioned by J.D., who then tricks him into saying the famous catch phrase.

7. Like myself, Tony doesn't like peanut butter sandwiches. Blecch. "Step off, George."

8. War - What is it good for? (Absolutely Nothin')

9. (close amal81) Pete's Luncheonette (Claire's only appearance)


EDIT: The first episode was called "Good News, Bad News."  At the time, the series was going to be called The Seinfeld Chronicles, but producers soon changed it to Seinfeld.

[ElBarto92 7]

7 goes to Sanantonio (how could you hate peanut butter sandwiches??), and so does 8. As for question 9, Amal81 and Sanantonio will each get partial credit, 5 points.

Scoreboard
Sanantonio: 78 points

Question #10: In the episode 'The Deal,' what brand orange juice does Jerry pour for Elaine and himself while talking to Kramer?
Question #11: Also in 'The Deal,' what does Jerry's birthday card to Elaine say?
Question #12: In the stand-up routine that opened the episode "The Revenge," what does Jerry find ammusing about a "criminal, terrorist, psyco-maniac, mass murderer guy" being hauled away on television?

[Kippis05 2]

A Q#11: To a wonderful girl, a great pal, and more.

That's gotta be my favorite episode

[sanantonio 0]

10. Looks like Minute Maid to me.

11. Yeah, it's the thought that counts.  "Pal!?" "...And more."

12. That he is covering his face to protect his "good name."

PEANUT BUTTER EDIT:  I had a bad experience as a child...I don't even like the word "peanut."

[ElBarto92 7]

Wow, Sanantonio, you know your Seinfeld.. You got 10 and 12. Kippis05, you got #11 - and I think you're right, it's up there with the best episodes. And Sanantonio, I won't bring up peanut butter anymore. Promise.

Question #13: Kramer wears a necklace consistently through-out the series. Name the type of stone that this necklace sports.
Question #14: Seinfeld episodes are often inspired by the experiences of the writers, producers and actors. What experience inspired the Season 2 episode "The Revenge?" 
Question #15: On what holiday did Newman decide that the "Michigan Bottle Deposit Scheme" would be profitable?

[Kippis05 2]

A Q#14: Larry David quit his writing job at SNL in the middle of that season, only to show up to work a few days later to act as if nothing had happened (and stayed through the rest of the season). This event inspired a season two episode of Seinfeld. (

(George used the same tactic during this episode, quitting on Friday, and coming back on Monday to the business meeting as if nothing happened. Except it didn't work out well for George, did it ) 

[sanantonio 0]

13. Is this a trick question??? All I can think of is his germ-o-phobe necklace. "What's that red thing?" "It's a germ."

14. What he said.
 

15. Mother's Day. "The mother of all mail days"

[ElBarto92 7]

13. Nope, it has been confirmed that this was a certain stone. Although it's not very easy to find...

14. goes to Kippis05 (That was one of the best Seinfeld moments ever!)

15. goes to Sanantonio

Next few questions will be up as soon as #13 gets answered

[Kippis05 2]

A Q#13: Is it a ruby? Can't think of anything else...

[ElBarto92 7]

Time for a hint to #13...the stone Kramer wears isn't mineralized, but is often considered a gemstone anyway.

Amber is correct, Sanantonio! Good job - I'll give you 5 points, after the hint.

[Kippis05 2]

A Q#16: Elaine and Kramer.

[sanantonio 0]

17. Kenny (Cosmo) Kramer

18. Poor George. Short, Stocky, and Balding.

EDIT: not that I don't believe you, but when does Kramer's amber necklace get mentioned?  That was a tough one, I just got lucky.

[amal81 3]

17. George ??

[ElBarto92 7]

16. You got it, Kippis05.

17. That's right, Sanantonio.

18. Another one to you, Sanantonio.

Sanantonio, there is no mention that I know of on the show. However, it was confirmed by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David on one of the special features on the season 2 DVD. Just thought I'd challenge you guys with an obscure fact.
