Man, I wish that Airheads would count for this series. It’s probably too well known for it to count, but I really enjoy Michael Richard’s performance there (even if it sometimes falls into Kramer doing Die Hard). Plus, it came out at a time when the main trio was smaller. Sandler was still on SNL, Brendan Fraser (not Frasier) did Encino Man and Steve Buscemi is great in it.

I never saw this, but I do remember wanting to see it because I was a fan of Seinfeld when it came out. I did eventually see Unstrung Heroes (very depressing film, BTW), but never got around to this one and forgot about it until right now. Seeing these clips, it feels like one of two things can be said. Either they intentionally got Richards to play something similar to Kramer in this movie OR they were trying to get him outside of the role and it just naturally fell into Kramerisms. I can see this be an episode of Seinfeld, but with Kramer pretending to be Newman's lawyer and bumbling around with it.
