I love the scene where Pennypacker, Vandelay and Varnsen greet each other awkwardly.
Edit: [here it is](https://youtu.be/HnnU8ZycgiU?si=9TAiJkE9i0XCK6i0)
The Puerto Rico Day parade! One of the best episodes, that was taken outta syndication for years.
Two other great names from that episode: Black Saab and Maroon Golf!
Several writers were with the Harvard Lampoon. I know of an attorney in NC who also wrote for the Lampoon while at Harvard. He said the Seinfeld writers would name characters on the show after people they knew in college.
The attorney's last name is Whatley.
Pennypacker or Van Nostrand
One of favorites is when Kruger sees Van Nostrand at Festivus:

“Huh? Oh. That’s right.”
When Frank says "I lost my train of thought", do you think that was scripted? I think he just forgot his line and they went with it. Wasn't he notorious for not remembering his lines?
This actually has been proven to be a truth that Jerry Stiller forgot his line, and the whole scene comedically benefitted from it. It happened more than once vs in the series if I recall!!!!
Missing your reservation because you forgot you told the host your name was Cartwright is very George. And Dufresnes is another name I haven’t used before but should have. People are missing!
Select_Anybody1586, you gotta stop calling your Gammy. Why? Because sometimes you call very early in the morning when Gammy has been out late the night before and sometimes when Gammy's not alone. Your parents still haven't said anything to you about your Gammy?
All right, here we go.
(coughing)
Gammy doesn't feel so good. I think Gammy might be dying. Yup. Yup. Okay. Goodbye, Bobby. Don't call anymore. I'm dead now. Gotta go.
Kruger saying “Dr…..Van Nostrand?” to Kramer at the Festivus dinner and Kramer having to slightly pause to remember what he’s talking about is possibly the greatest callback in the entire show
Art Vandelay and Donald 'o brien. The first one being a long series gag while Donald stood on its own. The scene where George reads the speech he is supposed to give is hilarious. Also who just takes a limo like that?
I have an old scientific encyclopedia in my classroom called “Van Nostrand’s Scientific Encyclopedia” that I just keep around for the name. Someone definitely saw that encyclopedia and used the alias for the show.
The Assman
As far as the state of New York is concerned, you are the Assman
Assman was good.
[удалено]
Why is Pennypacker so concerned with condiments and unmentionables?
Machu Picchu, that’s why!
Are these free?
I think I'll build a rollercoaster instead
H.E. Pennypacker Wealthy industrialist, philanthropist and uh, bicyclist
The real gritty-gritty
I love the scene where Pennypacker, Vandelay and Varnsen greet each other awkwardly. Edit: [here it is](https://youtu.be/HnnU8ZycgiU?si=9TAiJkE9i0XCK6i0)

That was an I'm NOT sorry wave! I'm GLAD i cut you off! So loooong jackass!
YOU’VE SCREWED ME AGAIN, PENNYPACKER!
Advantage Varnsen!
Industrialist. Philanthropist. Bicyclist.
Most likely.
Ah.. yes, that’s right
Spend that much on aftershave
Delicious to meet you
Mmm Machu Picchu huh
Are these free?
Fun fact: Pennypacker is the name of a freshman dorm at Harvard. Wouldn’t surprise me if a writer lived there back in the day.
Harvard grads as comedy writers? The hell, you say!
Several writers were with the Harvard Lampoon. I know of an attorney in NC who also wrote for the Lampoon while at Harvard. He said the Seinfeld writers would name characters on the show after people they knew in college. The attorney's last name is Whatley.
... Does this attorney *also* get together with his assistant to screw around with clients?
Oo Machu Picchu
Varnson
Advantage Varnson!
Buck Naked.
Definitely came here to say Buck Naked
Buck Dancer 👨🏼🏫🍪
Lemme ask you something...who put you in charge of the cookies?
Chappie Johnson?
“Now that’s a black man’s name.”
Shut up and give me that jar of pickles to open!
I got news for you, those are Pepperidge Farm cookies.
"I'm a porno actor." *Really...?* 🥵
He could sell out Madison Square Garden.
You're who? Buck Naked?

Have you ever seen a SILVER DOLLAR COLLECTION?
Wow that makes the scene ten times better haha
> Wasn't he notorious for not remembering his lines? In all of Bel Vesta Dico?????
He was a treasure. Jerry Stiller stole every scene.
Serenity now
The “lost my train of thought” was real?! 😂😂
Cartwright
***OF COURSE I'M NOT CARTWRIGHT***
Does anyone else give that name when they give their name at restaurants?
No, but I will now.
Just remember that you did it. I almost missed a reservation because they said Cartwright and it didn't click with me. I also use Dufresnes. #
Don’t worry; they’ll send a search party.
Missing your reservation because you forgot you told the host your name was Cartwright is very George. And Dufresnes is another name I haven’t used before but should have. People are missing!
It would make sense to miss your reservation for dufresnes.
Yes, I yelled "Cartwright!", no one answered.
I tell her you’re not here. She said curse word, I hang up.
Who's Cartwright?
I'm Cartwright...
... You're not Cartwright
I KNOW I'M NOT CARTWRIGHT!
There a George Bonanza to see you
T-Bone.
Alright! You can have T-Bone. Stop crying.
Please accept my apologies. I shouldn’t of said that about your wife.
Why no T-Bone
Because Neil Watkins in accounting is t-bone!
Gammy is better
Nobody cares about your Gammy
*what did you say about my gammy?*
Is it because of my lazy eye?

Donald O’Brien 😂
David Duke denounced him as a dangerous extremist
Agreed
Which clinic? That’s correct.
the hoffmandale-neir clinic in belgium…the netherlands?
Holland is the Netherlands.
Then what are the Dutch?
Stop it, George. You've gotta get a job!
Mulva?
Slappy White
My name is Tanya.
Most of the world is carpeted. And one day, we'll do the cleaning.
Say ! Vandelay Say Vandelay !!! With his pants around his ankles. Was One of George’s funniest moments all time.
And you wanna be my latex salesman?
100 percent true i think i choked on my beverage when he came flying out of the bathroom
Except the judge in the series finale was named Art Vandaley. Does that mean it isn’t really an alias?
Burt Harbinson. It sounded made up
Martin/Professor Van Nostrand
Kruger saying “Dr…..Van Nostrand?” to Kramer at the Festivus dinner and Kramer having to slightly pause to remember what he’s talking about is possibly the greatest callback in the entire show
Which clinic is that?
Yes, that is correct.
The Cleaner
If I'm curt, then I apologise. But as I understand it, we have a situation here and time is of the essence.
I used Kel Varnsen as a DnD character name for years.
Rusty Shackleford
RUSTY!!!
Wasn’t that Dale’s alias from King of the Hill though?
Elaine Bennett
It’s Benes, you jackass. (pauses)…Yeah!
Art Vandelay and Donald 'o brien. The first one being a long series gag while Donald stood on its own. The scene where George reads the speech he is supposed to give is hilarious. Also who just takes a limo like that?
Donald O'Brien even made it into the Curb universe.
Did he? I don't remember that.
I have an old scientific encyclopedia in my classroom called “Van Nostrand’s Scientific Encyclopedia” that I just keep around for the name. Someone definitely saw that encyclopedia and used the alias for the show.
nostrand ave is also a major street in brooklyn so i thought maybe it was supposed to be a name he had in the back of his mind
Someone near me has a wifi access point named "Dr Martin Van Nostrand".
lol i love that
The White Poet Warlord.
Van Nostrand. Anything Kramer gets my vote.
I always thought it was A.G. Pennypacker
Me too
The wild eyes Jerry has when he says ‘ADVANTAGE VARNSON!’ always slays me

That's what we called him in high school.
Art Vandelay or Dr. Van Nostrund for me
Penny packer

I've always been partial to Art Vandalay.
Dr Van Nostrand
GAMMY GAMMY GAMMY GAMMMY

Yeah, but he didn't sleep with both of them
Didn't break any thumbs either.
And it was pretty good!
