Storyline

- TriviaMichael Richards took 2 takes to perform the famous scene where Kramer smokes and drinks simultaneously. The first take showed Richards belching out smoke, which ended up as an outtake, so the second take ended up in the final cut instead. It was this scene that clinched Richards his second Emmy award.
- GoofsIn Jerry's apartment when they discuss the sweater being made of mohair, the shadow of the boom mic is visible on the lampshade behind Elaine.
- Quotes
George Costanza: Jerry, where'd you get that sweater?
Jerry Seinfeld: What do you think? I found it in the back of my closet!
George Costanza: I think that's what the back of closets are for.

Featured review
"Double exclamation mark!"
Season 5, Episode 4, "The Sniffing Accountant" "The Sniffing Accountant" is one of the weaker episodes in season 5 of Seinfeld, though it's still a classic like any other episode in this fantastic season. The main storyline doesn't make a whole lot of sense - it's only Newman's presence that makes it funny, along with one unforgettable scene from Kramer.
The other stories are of more interest - the episode is noteworthy for marking the first appearance o Marty Rackham as Jake Jarmel, one of the few guys who could actually stand up to Elaine, and this is one of the first occasions in which she shows she's just as insane as the other three; and Frank Costanza trying to teach his son about bras is priceless and a classic scene. Enough to make the episode funny in repeated viewings.
