Another day, another Seinfeld reference.
Today the new cast of Survivor was announced, so naturally my friends and I were quick to discuss on Facebook. This discussion turned into a Seinfeld reference, naturally. How might this happen, one might wonder. Well...
One of the returning players, Phillip Sheppard, has been commonly seen as a delusional character, and everyone always questions whether what he is saying is actually true. His previous occupation (he says) was that of an undercover agent. No one, including host, Jeff Probst himself, really believed him (due to his craziness). Upon looking at his current biography, it states that he is the CEO of a company called "Enter Software Sales". This sounded totally bogus to me, so I Googled it. Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly, I found nothing except links to articles about the upcoming season of Survivor in which this detail shows up.OK, so with that detail, my friend Heather commented with "Phillip Vandelay?" [sic] and "Kramerica Industries?".
For those who know Seinfeld, you know that Vandelay is the fake last name that George uses often. He also said that Vandelay Industries is a place where he was trying to get hired. So, you can now see the connection :)
A second connection, was made with "Kramerica Industries". This was the fake company created by Kramer...another obvious comparison to Seinfeld.
Here is a snapshot of the conversation:
Since there are several times that George uses Vandelay, here is the first time he used it (Season 1, Episode 2):

The second part of this reference is Kramerica Industries:
