List of episodes

"The Implant" is the 59th episode of the sitcom Seinfeld. It is the 19th episode of the fourth season, and first aired on February 25, 1993.[1] The title refers to Elaine's belief that Jerry's girlfriend has breast implants, which is shaken when she accidentally grabs her breasts in a sauna incident. In a secondary plotline, George goes to a funeral for his girlfriend's aunt in hopes that it will advance their relationship.

Plot[edit]

Jerry dumps his girlfriend, Sidra, after Elaine convinces him that her breasts are probably the result of implants. Kramer claims a man at the health club who introduces himself as "Sal Bass" is actually author Salman Rushdie. Later, Elaine and Sidra are in a sauna together, and Elaine accidentally grabs onto Sidra's breasts to break her fall after tripping. Elaine goes to Jerry and admits that she now thinks that Sidra's breasts are real and "are spectacular". Jerry decides to take Sidra back. However, Elaine later carelessly enters Jerry's apartment when Sidra is there, cluing Sidra in that the two of them are friends. Thinking he had Elaine deliberately feel her breasts in the sauna, Sidra dumps Jerry. As she leaves, she tells him: "And, by the way, they're real, and they're spectacular!"

George accompanies his girlfriend, Betsy, to Detroit for her aunt's wake, hoping to accelerate their relationship by being supportive in the midst of her grief. While there, he tries to get a copy of her death certificate so he can get a 50% bereavement discount on the airfare. However, he gets into an argument at the funeral reception with Betsy's brother, Timmy, over the social acceptability of double-dipping a chip. It devolves into a disruptive fistfight, leading an upset Betsy to break up with him. Lacking the death certificate, he shows an airline clerk a picture of him next to the casket, but the clerk does not consider this sufficient proof.

Production[edit]

During the taping, Larry David asked Teri Hatcher to add the line "And, by the way, they're real, and they're spectacular.", which was not in the script.[2]

Reception[edit]

The television show MythBusters tested the theory that double dipping was like "putting your whole mouth right in the dip" on the April 22, 2009 episode. The MythBusters found that double-dipping produced fewer microbes than putting all the dip in your mouth. Also, the number of microbes present was negligible compared to the amount found in a regular dip.

In Salman Rushdie's non-fiction book Joseph Anton: A Memoir, Rushdie recounts bumping into Jerry Seinfeld at a cocktail party where Seinfeld nervously asked his opinion of "The Implant" and "visibly relaxed" upon Rushdie's telling him "that he had thought the episode very funny."[3]

    Review

    Females may feel uncomfortable

    Jerry and George's constant stream of girlfriends, their inability to show them much respect and their constant discussion of them in sexual terms only is sexist.
