These jokes are pretty, pretty, pretty good.
1. Fesitvus
In this episode, Frank Costanza tells the story of a routine outing to secure a Christmas gift for his son George where he came to the realization that there should be a new holiday.
Meanwhile George uses Festivus, a holiday he once hated in his youth, as a excuse to his boss Mr. Kruger after he had been confronted for handing out cards suggesting a donation had been made to a fake charity called The Human Fund (with the slogan “Money For People”). George defended himself saying that he feared persecution for his beliefs. Attempting to call his bluff, Kruger insisted that he accompany George to his home and see Festivus in action.
Kramer, who was also invited to the celebration, goes on strike from his bagel vendor job, when his manager tells him he can’t get time off for “Festivus.” Kramer is then seen on the street with a sign which reads “Festivus yes! Bagels no!”
2. The Muffin Tops
A tourist asks George to look after a bag full of clothes. The man never comes back, so George starts wearing them. He later meets a woman named Mary Anne from the tourist bureau (Rena Sofer) under the impression that he’s a tourist from Little Rock, Arkansas, as a hen supervisor for Tyler Chicken.
To stay in character, George gets a hotel room and considers ‘moving’ to New York, later showing her his ‘new’ apartment and job with the Yankees. The Tyler Chicken job backfires when Steinbrenner calls Johnny Tyler: CEO of Tyler Chicken.
They eventually agree to trade George for changing all concession stand food into chicken styled for the stadium. For example, hot dogs are replaced with chicken dogs, pretzels are replaced with chicken twists and beer is replaced with alcoholic chicken.
