And is “I choose not to run” that funny? I say no. He’s actually the opposite because he won by cheating, twice - a reminder that Jerry is a comedic anti-hero, like the rest of them.ĬC: The episode is just okay, but it feels like Seinfeld shoehorned his favorite superhero into one episode, mostly by dating a woman named Lois. A theme of the episode is also that Jerry is like Superman - he celebrates his race win to the superhero’s music - except that he’s not. And it’s somehow perfect that when he races a second time, he, again, gets an accidental head start, driving his opponent mad. ![]() It’s relatable to want to go out on a high note. MM: I love this episode as a whole, but particularly the premise that Jerry accidentally cheated at a race in high school, won by an insurmountable lead and never raced again because of it.

This entire episode has so many sports references, but they’re all integral to the plot and influence each other.
