"The Mango" is the 65th episode of the sitcom Seinfeld. It aired on September 16, 1993, and is the premiere of the show's fifth season. The episode's working title was "The Orgasm." It was filmed in front of a live studio audience on Tuesday, August 17, 1993. In the "Inside Look" commentary on the Seinfeld Season 5 DVD, Larry David revealed that a friend of his came up with the setup of this episode: Elaine never having orgasms with Jerry. Larry David said that the idea was "too good to pass up."
The episode opens with one of Jerry Seinfeld’s standup comedy bits which centers on the creation of seedless watermelon.
The episode then goes to Monk's Café where George tells Jerry about his lack of confidence in bed with his new girlfriend Karen. The conversation then shifts to orgasm feigning, at which point Elaine mentions that she used to feign with Jerry back when they were dating. Although Elaine didn’t think much of the subject, Jerry was flabbergasted at the info. This also causes George to worry that Karen was feigning too.
A little while later, Kramer takes a bite out of a bad peach, which he tries to return to the store where he got it. This leads to him being banned from the store after he insults the owner, Joe.
