Recap / Seinfeld S 8 E 6 The Fatigues

Go To

Elaine tries to get rid of a scary co-worker by promoting him. Jerry's girlfriend has a mentor...who's dating Bania! George needs to write a speech on Risk Management, and Kramer needs Frank's help in preparing a Jewish Singles dinner.

Tropes

  • Hates Reading: George has to read a book on risk management for work, but literally falls asleep within seconds of just opening the book; among other ways George tries to weasel through the book without actually reading it including getting an audio version of the book (which backfires because the voice sounds just like him and he can't stand it), and having someone else read it for him then tell him what she read.
  • Jewish Mother: Kramer sounds like one, "Eat, eat, you're nothing but skin and bones". As always, George's mother is Ambiguously Jewish.
  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: Frank Costanza and seemingly Elaine's protégé Eddie. It Makes Sense in Context. He's actually sad over a breakup
  • Trickster Mentor: George, he is a trickster and a mentor but has no lessons to teach.
