While Kramer is talking up his plans to redesign his entire apartment in levels, Elaine accompanies Jerry to a dinner to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of a family acquaintance. Once there, Jerry makes a crack about children who have ponies as pets. Little does he know, the wife in the couple of honor had a pony that she adored. The woman becomes very upset at the comments and dies soon thereafter, leaving Jerry torn between attending the funeral and playing in a big softball game. As usual, Elaine is only interested in who will get the late woman's apartment. Originally airing January 31, 1991, "The Pony Remark" featured the first appearance by Len Lesser as Jerry's Uncle Leo.
