Jerry and Elaine struggle in the role of godparents, while Kramer objects to the entire concept of the bris and attempts to prevent the baby from being circumcised.
Jerry uses the role as a prompt to perform impersonations of Marlon Brando's character from The Godfather, but his friends are severely unimpressed.
Kramer, disturbed by the concept of the bris, upsets the mother with descriptions of circumcision and seizes the baby in an unsuccessful rescue attempt.
The mohel is extremely irritable and high-strung and implies that he was charged with malpractice due to a botched circumcision on at least one previous occasion.
Stan and Myra strip Jerry and Elaine of their role as godparents, deciding they prefer Kramer due to the concern he expressed for the baby.
