ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

The Baby Shower (Seinfeld)

Okay, so you know how sometimes when a lady is going to have a baby, her friends and family might throw a party to celebrate? That party is called a baby shower.

Well, there was this TV show called Seinfeld and one of the characters, Elaine, was invited to go to a baby shower for a lady she didn't really like. Elaine didn't want to go because she thought baby showers were boring and everyone just played silly games and talked about babies.

But her friend Jerry agreed to go with her because he wanted to eat the food and see if there were any pretty ladies there. So they went to the baby shower and Jerry was happy because there were lots of tasty snacks, but Elaine was still bored.

Then something funny happened. The lady who the party was for opened up one of her presents and it was a really funny looking hat. Everyone laughed and Elaine decided she wanted to steal the hat because it was so silly.

So, she snuck into the room where the presents were and tried to take the hat. But the lady who the party was for caught her and got really mad. Elaine tried to explain that she just wanted the hat because it was funny, but the lady didn't understand and kicked Elaine out of the party.

Jerry and Elaine ended up leaving, but not before Jerry got himself a slice of cake to go. The end!
