This was also the subject on a Seinfeld episode, “The Good Samaritan”, where Kramer triggered a seizure upon hearing Mary Hart’s voice, causing himself injury.
Jerry: Entertainment Tonight’s on.
(Theme music plays on TV, Kramer walks in, waves at Jerry and Elaine, then
walks over to Jerry’s bookshelf, dancing to the music. Voice of Mary Hart
starts on TV and Kramer starts having a wild seizure behind the sofa.)
Jerry: What’s it like out?(Kramer continues to shake behind sofa)
Elaine: Chilly out.Jerry: Can I take a sweater?
Elaine: Yeah, you can take a sweater if you want to.
Jerry: Scarf?
Elaine: Nah, hey, shut this off, shut it off.
(Jerry and Elaine finally notice Kramer as he finishes)
Jerry: What’s the matter? What’s going on?(Kramer is looking around like he’s lost)
Kramer: What happened?!Elaine: What?
Kramer: I think I hit my head again!
Jerry: What is wrong?!
(Elaine is pointing at the TV)
Elaine: Hey, hey, wait a minute! Let me ask you something. Kramer, the last
time you hit your head, was Mary Hart on TV?Kramer: Yeah.
(Elaine claps her hands together then stands up)
Elaine: That is it!Kramer: What?
(Elaine walks toward Kramer pointing her finger at him)
Elaine: That is it! Mary Hart’s voice, don’t you see? There’s something
about Mary Hart’s voice that’s giving you seizures. Just like, just like,
just like that woman in Albany!
And
(Scene moves to outside Becky’s apartment. Kramer is walking toward her
door, hair slicked back, with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He knocks on
her door, she opens. Mary Hart’s voice is playing on the TV in the distance.
Kramer starts having a violent seizure.)
