Bizarro

Jerry, George, and Kramer meet their opposites Kevin, Gene, and Feldman.

In the third episode of season 8 called The Bizarro Jerry the Elaine breaks up her boyfriend from a previous episode named Kevin and proposes the idea that they should just be friends. To her surprise Kevin accepts and throughout the episode we see Elaine mingling more with Kevin’s group of friends rather than with Jerry, George, and Kramer.  When Elaine talks about how reliable Kevin is compared to Jerry, Jerry begins to think of Kevin as a “bizarro” version of himself.

As said by Jerry in the episode, “Yeah, like Bizarro Superman, Superman’s exact opposite, who lives in the backwards Bizarro world. Up is down, down is up. He says “hello” when he leaves, “goodbye” when he arrives”. Basically Jerry is saying that Kevin is the complete opposite of him and anything Jerry does or likes will be hated by Kevin and so forth.

Near the end of the episode the gang comes face to face with their counterparts and Elaine decides to be with her new friends since they’re just better people than Jerry, George and Kramer. This doesn’t work however because Elaine is too violent with her new friends and ends up leaving Kevin’s apartment awkwardly after knocking over Kevin when she got excited about tickets to an art show.

My question for this blog is have you ever seen someone that looked similiar to one of your own friends or family and they turned out to be a “Bizarro” version of them? I haven’t personally, but as they say almost everyone has a “bizarro” version living somewhere.
