Seinfeld: The Comeback (1997)
Season 8, Episode 13
9/10
Delightfully stupid
8 February 2017
Overall, 'The Comeback' is a strong episode.; jam-packed as usual, but the plots hang together pretty well. Kramer's efforts to amend his will offers Ben Stein in an apt guest shot (in all of his monotone glory). It's silly, but not outlandish.

And then there's George's masterful retort: "Well, the jerk store called . . . !" The line is glorious, even if it doesn't make sense. But screw it, it's relatable; how many of us have concocted just the right burn *after* an altercation? It's one of the show's best lines and (honestly) what the Internet meme was made for. And seeing him jet off to Akron just to zing a guy is a brilliant example of how big of an idiot George is. This whole episode iw roth it just for Jason Alexander's full-on storm-off tirade.

9/10
