Bania's Comedy Hour | Seinfeld

[@shaamilthattayil]

The fact that Bania is completely oblivious to Jerry's dislike for him makes me wonder whether I am anyone's Bania, irl.

They were pretty good in not overusing the side characters. Newman is great because he only shows up only so many times. iI he was always around, it would lose it's specialness when he did show up.
