“I do really like when Kramer was trying to find Elaine’s medical records on the show and he goes into the hospital and he says, ‘I’m Doctor Van Nostrand from the Institute,'” the comedian told Extra‘s George Hahn in an interview promoting Seinfeld‘s recent return to Netflix. “And the receptionist says, ‘What institute?’ and he goes, ‘That’s right,” he continued with a laugh. “That’s one of those jokes that’s really, it’s so simple, but it’s so funny,”
Although Seinfeld cited the moment as a stand-out scene, it seems he may be entirely alone in that assertion – just like Elaine dancing after taking those painkillers after sleeping on Jerry’s parent’s couch. In pretty much every categorization of the show’s top moments, between The Guardian, Distractify, and hell, even the official publication of people who love eating dinner at 4:30 p.m., AARP, “The Package” fails to make an appearance. However, the series does make a notable appearance in one high-profile compilation — Vulture‘s comprehensive ranking of all 169 episodes (nice) in which “The Package” comes in at number 150.
“There’s some painfully funny pathos found in Elaine’s (and, eventually, Uncle Leo’s) attempts to get proper medical coverage while being labeled as a ‘difficult’ patient,” reads the blurb accompanying the title. “George’s pre-sexting-era attempt to exchange racy photos with a one-hour-photo employee, however, falls comparatively flat.”
