How is "girl who sees Jerry pick his nose" a description, but "The Bubble Boy" is a name?
Because he is referred to as Bubble Boy by other characters on the show. That makes it potentially a character name.

His name is Donald. His parents call him Donald in the epsiode. His mother calls him Donald in the youtube clip I included in the reveal.

"Mulva" is Dolores. That's the climax of the episode. Jerry realizes what her real name is. Dolores rhymes with clitoris. That's the huge joke.

The Soup Nazi's real name is Yev Kassem. There's a whole joke surrounding this reveal at the trial.

The virgin, the girl with spectacular breasts, the low talker, the close talker, the model who sees Jerry pick his nose, George's father, George's fiance who dies from licking toxic envelopes, Jerry's gf with man hands. They are all descriptions of characters who have names.

Re: A Sheep Game About Nothing -- SEINFELD SHEEP

Christopher Reeve played an Alien named Kal El, then renamed Clark Kent, and John Hurt played a crippled poor soul named John Merrick, but you wouldn't correct somebody who said they played Superman and The Elephant Man would you? You must understand that argument even if you don't agree with it.

I don't even know why you dragged me into this dispute to be honest. It's your game and you can make the rules and adjudicate as you see fit. Don't feel the need to make me the example when I wasn't even debating it with you.

Re: A Sheep Game About Nothing -- SEINFELD SHEEP

Coming up on the final three questions, let’s take a look at where we are and how we got here.

Damfino pulled out to an early lead by slamming the sheepiest answers on the first two questions.
Goat3001 was just one point off the lead after the question #4, but Damfino pulled away by slamming the sheepiest answers on #5 and #6.

After slamming Jerry’s girlfriend with the spectacular breasts on #9, Cardsfan111 jumped into second place, just three points behind Damfino.

Picking “The Smelly Car” instead of the sheepy “Parking Garage” hit Damfino hard.
After the questions about Kramer, Cardsfan111 was in first, with T-Bone22 close behind in second. Damfino and majorjoe23 were basically tied for third.

Over the next few questions, the standings at the top stayed the same, but Aaron Hernandez and Crocker Jarmen both moved closer to third place with the sheepiest answer on #17.

With three questions left (two sheep and on reverse) Cardsfan111 is sitting pretty with a nine-point lead over T-Bone22, and a 21-point lead over majorjoe23.

I dragged you into it not to debate with you but to show how you exemplified the confusion over what "name" meant.

You posted that I should require names, but submitted "The Soup Nazi" as a name. That's it.

I had no desire or intention to debate with you. I'm mystified that you cannot see what is happening here.

The fact that I would use you as an example, has nothing to do with my desire to debate with you. I can point at you without having any intention of engaging with you.

Re: A Sheep Game About Nothing -- SEINFELD SHEEP

When I was in college, I knew a guy from India. His Indian name was Vidjit. Hie English name was Jim. Some people called him "that Indian guy." His name was not "that Indian guy" no matter how many people called him that.

I can't help but feel like this is a foreshadowing of an epic collapse.

Okay, if that's your point, fine. Sorry to get defensive.

Re: A Sheep Game About Nothing -- SEINFELD SHEEP

If the Sheepmaster is so picky over the first names of everyone, why isn't he more picky about what constitutes a "celebrity" for that question? There were a few answers which I could argue are NOT "celebrities." A celebrity would be a household name, in my opinion, not just a public figure. For example, Roger McDowell is NOT a celebrity.

Asking for the names was just supposed to make the question harder, thus decreasing the number of answers, thus making it more sheepy, thus making it possible for fortunes to turn at the end of the game depending on how people answered and if they used a slam. It was intended to make the game more interesting not frustrating, and I clearly failed. But it will all be over soon.

18) Name a movie that Jerry, George, Elaine, or Kramer watches in a theater or on home video. The movie can be a real one, or one made up for the show, but you have to know the title.

Cardsfan111 maintains the lead with T-Bone22 close behind in second. With third place starting 20 points back, it looks like a two player race.

19) If you could have one prop from one specific episode, what would you pick?


So there are 100s of possible answers here, so no surprise that it's just uniques and pairs.

Jerry's acting was always pretty wooden. Would he count as a prop? That would sure as hell be a conversation starter. "And Jerry Seinfeld is sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee, would you like to go look at him?"

Regrettable? The picture and -4 (particularly since I matched sleepyhead) made it totally worth it. Have you seen my scores?!

The prop one seemed like it would be hard to get a match, so I just answered honestly with what I would have wanted.
