The Castro brothers and the Mandelbaum boys

Monday, February 25, 2008

The recent news about the 81-year-old Fidel Castro stepping down as the president of Cuba only to be replaced by his 76-year-old brother Raul reminded me of a Seinfeld episode.

Season 8, episode #151: The English Patient. Jerry faces the Mandelbaum boys, who are all comically competitive while being, well, old.

I can almost hear Raul saying, “It’s go time… Oooh! My back!”

(This is the only clip I could find on YouTube… The second half includes scenes from “The Blood” episode in season 9 where Izzy and his son reappear as Jerry’s personal trainer.)
