George Costanza is many things: a liar, a New York Yankee, a boyfriend dating way above his league. Oh, and he’s also a public urinator.
In the Season Three episode “The Parking Garage,” both Jerry and George get nabbed by security for relieving themselves behind parked cars. Jerry’s bogus defense — claiming that he’s suffering from “uromysitisis poisoning” — doesn’t fly.
As we’ve mentioned before, Seinfeld was slightly ahead of the curve with this storyline, arguably anticipating the recent discourse surrounding public urination and America’s lack of public bathroom accessibility. Now, the show’s other piss-based storyline has become somewhat relevant thanks to a recent news story. And, somewhat surprisingly, experts have sided with George Costanza on an issue involving personal hygiene.
What’s the French version of “Rock, flag and eagle”? Jazz, scarf and rooster?
It should come as no surprise to It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia fans that the show is a big hit in other countries with big drinking cultures. For instance, even Russia tried to make its own international knockoff called It’s Always Sunny in Moscow, and even though the show was a critical and commercial disaster by any metric, its mere existence proves that, wherever there are alcoholics with cable subscriptions, there is a market for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, regardless of whether the local drink of choice is beer, wine or vodka.
