The Bubble Boy is a true classic and one of my top 15 favorites on Seinfeld!, as it's simply one of the best ever in my opinion!

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

(plot). Jerry agrees to visit a bubble boy on the way up to a cabin in the woods. But Jerry and Elaine get lost and George winds up fighting the bubble boy. Meanwhile, Kramer appears at the cabin and wreaks havoc!.

The Bubble Boy is a true classic and one of my top 15 favorites on Seinfeld!, as it's simply one of the best ever in my opinion!. This has to be one of the most unique Seinfeld episodes ever, as the idea of a Bubble boy was just wonderfully crazy, and this is extremely well written by Larry Charles, and directed by Tom Cherones, plus I can't believe some of the things The Bubble Boy said as they were so nasty but hilarious!. I laughed my ass of when The Bubble boy started choking George, and the scene where the waitress won't take what Jerry wrote on the autograph is also quite funny, plus the ending cracks me up every time with Kramer putting that Cigar on the ledge and it falls on the papers!. The message George left on Jerry's machine about Naomi was hilarious, and this is extremely well made as well, plus Jerry's stand up's as always were hilarious!. It was funny but I can't believe George had the nerve to ask Susan for his change back right when her Cabin was burning down, and I loved the voice The Bubble Boy had, plus George was such an idiot for speeding up so fast so Jerry would lose directions. The Bubble Boy is a true classic and one of my top 15 favorites on Seinfeld, as it's simply one of the best ever in my opinion, and if you haven't seen it please do so immediately you won't regret it trust me!. ***** out of 5 Favorite quotes.

(The message George leaves). George: Jerry it's George, you all set for this weekend?, it's gonna be great!, your gonna have a great time with Naomi, all right she's got that laugh, What'd you say it's like Elmer Fudd sitting on a Juicer?.

George: that's too bad, Cause we were just saying, we were gonna ask you to the country club this weekend, Susan's father has a cabin up there but all right. Kramer: Well they got any golf courses up there?. George&Jerry: No,no,no,no. George: No,no that's pie country. Jerry: Yeah. George: They do a lot of baking up there. Jerry: They sell E'm at the side of the road, Blue Berry,Black Berry. George: Blackberry,Boysenberry. Jerry: Boysenberry,Huckleberry. George: Huckleberry,Rasberry. Jerry: Rasberry,Strawberry. George: Strawberry,Cranberry. Jerry: Peach!.

Bubble Boy: Hey Ma! what the hell do I gotta do to get some food around here, I'm starving, and if it's peanut butter, I'm gonna shove it in your face!.

George: Hi. Susan: Hello. Bubble Boy: Who are you?, Where's Seinfeld?. Mom: he's on his way, these are his friends. Bubble Boy: What are you looking at?, never seen a kid in a bubble before?.
