Cosmo Kramer - Romantic Relationships

Romantic Relationships

Of the four main characters, Kramer has the fewest on-screen romantic relationships. He does not seem to have trouble attracting women, but his relationships often come to an embarrassing end, and, like Jerry's, are usually short lived. Some of Kramer's most notable relationships include:

• In "The Conversion," after Kramer attracts the attention of a young Latvian Orthodox novice, Roberta, he learns from the priests that he has the Kavorka (lure of the animal).
• In "The Puffy Shirt," Kramer dates Leslie, a "low talker," a woman who speaks quietly.
• In "The Friar's Club," Kramer tries to copy Leonardo Da Vinci by only sleeping 20 minutes every three hours, but when he finally falls deeply asleep in his girlfriend Connie's arms, she thinks he is dead, puts him in a sack and dumps him into the Hudson River.
• In "The Smelly Car," Kramer "converts" Susan's lesbian lover, Mona, to heterosexuality, one of the many reasons why Susan hates Kramer.
• In "The Chinese Woman", Kramer dates Elaine's friend Noreen, whom he tries to steer away from what he perceives as Elaine's negative influence. In this episode, Kramer is preoccupied by the fact that despite having slept with many women, he has never gotten a woman pregnant, and he consults a doctor about sperm count. By the episode's end, it is implied he may have impregnated Noreen, but the possibility is never raised again.
• In "The Non-Fat Yogurt", Kramer's passionate encounter with Cheryl, a lab technician results in the accidental mix up of Rudy Giuliani's blood test.
• In "The Pie", Kramer dates Olive from the coffee shop, whose super-long nails are the only cure to his itchy back. When he loses his itch and wants to break up with her, he uses a mannequin that looks like Elaine as his pretend new girlfriend.
• In "The Wife", he gets overly-tanned after falling asleep on a tanning bed and then horrifies his African-American girlfriend Anna and her family who think he's doing blackface.
• In "The Maid", his girlfriend Madeline moves to downtown Manhattan and Kramer cannot handle the "long-distance relationship".
• In "The Dog", Kramer has a relationship with Ellen, whom all of his friends hate.
• In "The Library", Kramer attracts the Librarian/Poet Marian after claiming "she needs a little tenderness, she needs a little Kramer." He eventually falls in love with her poetry; however, it doesn't work out. Kramer mentions in "The Tape" that one night he was sleeping in bed with her, so therefore, their relationship supposedly ended between that episode and "The Nose Job" (the next episode), as Kramer begins dating Audrey, George's ex-girlfriend.
• In "The Soul Mate", Kramer falls for Jerry's girlfriend Pam and with Newman's help tries to win her over. He even gets a vasectomy for her because he finds out she is not interested in having children (he later states that the procedure was botched, and he is even more potent as a result).
• In "The Money", Kramer dates Emily (played by Sarah Silverman) who has the "jimmy legs" which keep him up at night.
• In "The Shoes", Kramer briefly dates Gail, Jerry's ex-girlfriend.
• In "The Truth", Kramer dates Elaine's roommate Tina who enjoys making out in the living room and dancing to tribal music.
• In "The Soup", Kramer dates Hilde, a waitress that works at Reggie's.
