In the first clip from “The Blood,” Seinfeld suggests that when you combine food, sex, and television you get what George so poignantly refers to as “the trifecta,” or the most pleasurable combination of activities. While George is a gifted liar and cheater, he is not a first-rate multitasker and is unable to avoid arousing the suspicion of the woman he is attempting to have sex with while eating a sandwich and watching a minuscule, portable television. When she calls him out on his faux pa after catching him humping the bed with sandwich and television in hand; he meekly mutters that he was actually trying to pleasure her while obviously fully absorbed with his own wants.
In the second clip from later in the episode, Jerry and George are conversing about how George has created a sexual association between food and sex (and although not mentioned in the clip, quite possibly television). George starts hastily devouring his own food and even some of Jerry’s. This behavior suggests that George has created a physiological need for “the trifecta” which directly affects his demeanor as we see him mumbling that he’s sleepy right after gorging himself. I’m sure these humorous connections between food, sex, and television popped up again in this episode or another with other hilarious consequences for George, physically and emotionally.
