Elaine Falls For A Charming Stranger | The Junk Mail | Seinfeld

How did he know the ad would still be on lol

[@Harp_and_Guitar_Moving_Forward]

You did

[@angeleyeszarai]

I been trying to respond to the 1st comment. In the days of VCR things had to be pre-recorded, which is what I'm assuming Jerry did before Elaine got there.

[@evansutton6760]

What are friends for?

[@redacted2275]

​@@angeleyeszaraiJerry was going through an old VHS tape and saw that... the commercial is old, the guy was not The Wiz anymore by the time he's dating her. But at the end of the episode, he announces that he quit his job and is The Wiz again.

[@jandy4604]

[@asamusicdude]

I think they parodied the wiz from the actual TV king commercial around the same time. I think it was Paul's TV. His saying was "I am the King "

[@DailyNihilism]

Maybe that's why a wizard wears a kings crown, they had to change it

[@shiorisaitou4846]

No, in the NY-NJ area back in the 80's & 90's there was a chain of electronics stores called "The Wiz" and their slogan was "Nobody beats the Wiz". Their commercials were on TV all the time and they were "partnered" with most of the major NYC sports teams. Their mascot wasn't dressed like a king though and their commercials were more slickly produced than what is shown here.

[@Zoyous]

@@shiorisaitou4846 It was also referenced in the Biz Markie song "Nobody Beats the Biz."
