# NOTE: Thanks to this episode, the series won the Emmy for best Comedy, Writing and Supporting Actor (Michael Richards). The episode was based in a real life experience of writer Larry David. Tom Cherones won the Director's Guild of America Award for this episode. This episode was based on a real contest that Larry David participated in.
# When Estelle is lying in the hospital bed and tells George that she is hungry, George throws her a box of tic tacs. According to Jerry Seinfeld, this was not part of the scene. Jason Alexander just did it impromptu and Estelle could not stop laughing for 20 minutes.
# On the Letterman show, actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus admitted that the censors would not allow the cast to say the word "masturbation".
# TV Guide named this episode, specifically the moment where Kramer says he's out, as the third funniest moment in TV history.
# The "hot nurse" is played by Andrea Parker, most known for her role as Miss Parker on NBC's drama The Pretender and currently a regular on the ABC sitcom Less Than Perfect. After having started as a dancer, this was her first speaking part as an actress on a network show. As she's later said, if you were going to be on just one episode of Seinfeld, this was the one to be on.
# Although it is, of course, alluded to, the word "masturbation" is never once mentioned throughout the entire episode.
# I think that, like Jason Alexander, Michael Richards does a little spontaneous acting. It's right in the beginning, after the talk about laundry in prison. He says "You, take off your socks, your pants, your underwear, we're doing a wash" and I think this wasn't in the script because Julie Louis-Dreyfus' reaction and especially Jerry Seinfeld's reaction is quite natural. If you ever watched bloopers of Seinfeld (or if you watched "The Clip Show"), you know how Jerry laughs when he laughs for real, naturally. Now, just after Richards says that line, the laugh is the same, if you listen to it carefully, you understand that. Also when the frame is cut to George entering, we can see that both Seinfeld and Dreyfus sit straight, but both were laughing and thier heads were bowed down. I think Jerry Seinfeld couldn't stop laughing after Richards' improvised line and they taped the rest afterwards.
