"It's like a sauna in here"
juanmaffeo16 July 2016
Another great episode from the amazing Season 4.

What we have here is basically two stories: Jerry and Elaine with the breast implant issue and George with his girlfriend. Kramer kind of bounces around these two and his absurd Salman Rushdie story. Both stories are great.

The implant story relies a lot on Seinfeld and Dreyfus performances and their conversations. George's story is all about Alexander and him being a bastard. I love the Timmy scene, it's so random but extremely funny. The one thing that I don't really get is why they cast Teri Hatcher as the breast girl. I mean, she's an attractive woman but her breasts aren't her best asset. Nevertheless she gives a solid performance.

Apart from being funny, it's a really entertaining episode. Fast paced, with no dull moments. We get two unfamiliar locations (the health club and George's girlfriend's house in Detroit). An all around good episode.

Double-dipped! I am definitely double-broken hearted that this best sitcom ever had to end one day.
zfiany1 July 2009
As usual George is the Master of his domain. He double-dipped a chip in the funeral and you only should watch this one for I can say no more. However, not to stop there because you know George's cheapness never stops anywhere. When he returns from the funeral, he tries to get a 50% discount on the ticket because of his dead cousin and you can only imagine what a scene Costanza makes. Don't you just love this guy, where does he come from! I guess he comes from planet earth where we all share the same issues with him only that he has the guts to do it. Another story goes parallel here and where Elaine also shines is the girl who jerry dumps because Elain said her breast were fake. However, in the health club where the girls are showering, Elain trips and touches accidentally the girl's breast only to find out that they were real! Seinfeld just rocks.

One of my favorite episodes
zxgsbv21 June 2022
In college, this episode was my friend group's favorite ever :) Three key themes: Can't go left. Don't double dip the chip. They're real and they're spectacular!

Enjoy! Great cameos too!

Stupidity Is No Defense...
miltm137 July 2019
With the 30th anniversary of this iconic show upon us, I find myself watching the entire series for the fifth time, and enjoying every bit as much as when it was fresh and original. The Implant was one of my favorite episodes, since I adore Teri Hatcher. Even though I think they should have cast a more buxom actress for this role, it still works well.

As for any reviewer who fancies himself a world-class critic, and declares this show to be a failure, I'd just like to say that stupidity is no defense. I'm sure it boosts the writer's ego to poorly string together a lot of jumbled words, in a miserably failed attempt to seem erudite, but in the end his pathetic attempt is left under a dung heap of self-embarrassment.

Double Dipper
Hitchcoc6 September 2022
The whole thing with the breast implants was average at best. It was really lowbrow humor and incredibly sexist (as this show is much of the time). Somehow, all these incredibly attractive women cross Jerry and George's path. The real reason to watch this is George. He has had trouble keeping girlfriends, so when a relative of his current affair dies, he decides to attend the funeral. Of course, he is so socially inept it's unbelievable. Not only that, Kramer tells him about half priced grievance tickets. The kicker. A death certificate. George blows the whole thing when he double-dips a corn chip and is noticed by Cousin Timmy. He can't ever apologize. He ends up in a fist fight at the after funeral luncheon. And then is back at the airport trying to get half his ticket money back.

I know a chick like that.
I know a chick who has boobs just like those, honestly and you know their real but they look so perfect they must be fake.

And this show perfectly highlights the problem.

The struggle is REAL!

big rack but flat caboose.
ThunderKing61 April 2023
Her rack looked ok.

This review on this episode was typed in the month of April, the 1st in year 2023rd in century 21st.

What was this episode About?: Jerry is curious to know if the girl he is dating has real breasts, or did she stuff them with silicone.

George tries to make a move by attending his girl's funeral

Elaine trips

Kramer see's a person.

The story and the production overview: A nicely done episode. An episode that established Seinfeld as the top lion sitcom in the 90s.

Though Jerry's story was interesting, George double dip scene is the top 3 iCONIC moments in Seinfeld.

Highlight: Timmy!!... Double dip scene.

Villain: being a lefty or a righty... because if you are a righty then you can't go left.

Girlfriend attractiveness level: George's girl = 5 Jerry's big breast girl = 9. She has no caboose, though...

Laugh meter: +11 because of Georges double dip scene.

What can be learned?: Do not double-dip. Take one dip and end it.

Verdict: Appearently they were real but she had no caboose.

Teri Hatcher guest stars as Sidra Holland
safenoe19 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
At around the same time as Teri Hatcher's career exploded in Lois and Clark, she had a very memorable guest appearance in Seinfeld as Sidra in The Implant, and I first saw this episode back in the 1990s, when I became a fan of Seinfeld. Anyway, after having today re-watched the Seinfeld finale (which was much maligned but still) and seeing the returning guest stars like Sidra, I was moved to finally post an imdb user review for The Implant. Anyway, the scene were Elaine falls into Sidra in the sauna was replayed in the finale, much to the horror of the courtroom, and to the laughter of the audience.

Females may feel uncomfortable
chrisarentertainment5 August 2020
Jerry and George's constant stream of girlfriends, their inability to show them much respect and their constant discussion of them in sexual terms only is sexist.

Juvenile humor
repete5212 March 2021
Disappointed in Jerry for this level of...humor topic. It's definitely for pubescent & teenage boys. As he's getting older, he (and Larry David) is regressing.
