"The Pez Dispenser" is the 14th episode of the third season of Seinfeld and the 31st overall. It premiered on January 15, 1992. It was written by Larry David and directed by Tom Cherones.
Jerry receives a Tweety Bird Pez dispenser from Kramer, and likes it. George is dating a new girl he really likes, a pianist named Noel, and wants to take Jerry and Elaine to her piano recital that night. George doesn't feel like he has the upper hand, or for that matter, "any hand at all" in the relationship, and is hoping that if Noel sees him with his friends, he will look more popular and somehow gain the upper hand, or at least equality to her. During her piano playing, Jerry puts the Pez dispenser on Elaine's leg and she begins to burst out laughing. Noel keeps on playing and many people shush Elaine, but she can't stop laughing and goes outside. There, she sees an old friend who tells her that another old high school friend, Richie, is now a comedian but is "kinda messed up" on drugs and will not listen to anyone to stop him, but the only person he will listen to is Jerry, whom he admires. The plan is to have an intervention at Jerry's house with a whole bunch of old school friends there as well. When Elaine goes back, Noel is clueless who laughed but she will never forget it. Meanwhile, Kramer joins the Polar Bears, a group of swimmers who swim in the winter, and creates a cologne that smells like the beach. However, everyone thinks it stinks and it will be a total failure.
George breaks up with Noel, knowing she would dump him soon anyway. Noel is shocked, and says she'll do anything to get back together with him. He asks to just think of him all the time, and so he now has the upper hand. Meanwhile, the intervention is getting started, but Kramer brings his Polar Bear friends and George and Noel come unexpectedly. At the intervention, Noel realizes that Elaine is the one who laughed at her recital. As a result, Noel dumps George. When Richie comes, he simply asks "What's going on?" and the screen fades to black. In the end credits, Jerry tells George that Richie now is doing great in rehab, but is now addicted to Pez.
•George raves about Noel playing the Waldstein. Ludwig van Beethoven composed his "Waldstein Sonata" in 1803 and dedicated it to Count Ferdinand von Waldstein.
•The Polar Bear Club of Coney Island was founded in 1903 by entrepreneur Bernarr MacFadden. They swim in the Atlantic Ocean in winter.
•Noel plays Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13 (Pathetique) at the concert when Elaine leaves laughing. The same piece is played in a similar scene George Cukor's "Gaslight" - see comments below.
•PEZ is an abbreviation for the German word for peppermint.
•It's revealed Kramer told Richie to dump Gatorade on Marty Benson's head which led to Richie's drug problem. Gatorade was invented at the University of Florida to improve performance in the university's football team.
•Marty Benson's death from pneumonia after having a bucket of Gatorade dumped on him is a reference to the death of Hall of Fame football coach George Allen in 1990, 44 days after being doused by a celebratory Gatorade shower.
