Kramer's meltdown was inspired by showtunes

Opening scene of The Music Man. Go to 1:10 if it doesn't embed. Lyrics are:

Ya can talk, ya can talk, ya can bicker, ya can talk
Ya can bicker, bicker, bicker, ya can talk, ya can talk
Ya can talk, talk, talk, talk, bicker, bicker, bicker

I don't think anyone's ever connected this before. Michael also wore a shirt from Mason City, Iowa (the inspiration for the fictional River City where the Music Man takes place) in UHF:

Turns out what everyone assumed was a guttural outburst of closeted racism was him doing an obscure parody of a 1950s musical. Happy Pride month!

Loved him as Stanley Spadowski in UHF.

Probably one of my favorite 80's movie.

so he was doing a thing but the audience was too uncultured to recognize it... why didnt he just say so?

Cool. Also weird how I was actually saying in my head "you can talk, you can talk, you can talk" and chuckling to myself after getting out of the shower this morning.

When I watch my sister’s dog and he licks me I always say, “you’re a licker, you’re a licker!” It’s the little things in life. Side note, the audience is originally on his side because they were being obnoxious for a while. I don’t feel like looking it up but there’s an article where they’re described as “late arriving audience members.”

Pretty sure that’s a Planet of the Apes reference child

Well, you know they are always late anyway...
