the nose job

(S03E09) This episode is always the one I remember as either -- using Friends nomenclature -- "the one with all the flashbacks" or "the one with all the cut-ins." It's a format that Seinfeld used rarely before or after this episode, but this episode seems to be rife with it. When George mentions how big his girlfriend Audrey's nose is, we cut to a close-up of Audrey's face, then we cut back. We see Jerry introduce himself to the beautiful Isabel as he's talking about it with George. Then, when he later explains to George how he tried to get Kramer to keep him from calling her again, we flash back to that, too. Add to that Jerry's imaginary "brain vs. penis" chess match, and this is one of the more conceptual episodes Jerry and Larry ever made.
