Mythical retailer created by
George Costanza on
Seinfeld in the episode "
The Comeback".
During a
company lunch,
George is stuffing his mouth with shrimp, and a coworker says "George, the ocean called and they said they're running out of
shrimp." Everyone laughs and George gets
pissed off.
The rest of the episode is spent with George planning to use his best
comeback on the guy "The jerk store called, and they're running out of you." At the end, after traveling hours to meet the guy, the guy replies to the comeback by saying "Why would they call me? You're their all time
best seller."
This
episode was very silly, but in my opinion very, very
humorous.
