[edit] Plot
Kramer convinces his friend Mickey Abbott, a little person, to use lifts to keep his job of portraying a rapidly-growing child, but his ruse is later discovered by other midget actors. Jerry visits an ill friend at the hospital and feels added pressure to be funny after his first visit coincides with a deterioration in the man's condition. George, finding he has nothing about which to talk with his girlfriend, wants to break up but holds off as he learns she is being encouraged to end the relationship. Elaine dates a friend of Jerry's, and the man "takes it out" on the pair's first date.
[edit] Trivia
- This is the first appearance of Kramer's friend Mickey Abbott, one of Kramer's bizarre circle of friends.
- The kid in which Mickey stand in for was actor Thomas Dekker, who would later play the kid in the hospital in season 7's "The Wink".
[edit] Superman reference
Jerry: ...and this whole justice league, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman. You mean to tell me Superman can't cover everything? For cryin' out loud, he's Superman!
