    Season 8 ep 7 The Checks.
    George goes and gets his coat.
    GEORGE: Alright, I gotta go home and open up with the house for the carpet
    cleaners. You know they're doing my whole place for twenty-five dollars.
    KRAMER: Oh, no, no, no. Not the Sunshine Carpet Cleaners?
    EGO: Yeah, you heard of 'em?
    KRAMER: They're a crazy religious cult. The carpet cleaning is just a means
    for them to get into your apartment.
    GEORGE: So? For a twenty-five dollar cleaning, I can listen to some pointless
    blather.
    JERRY: I do it, I'm not even getting the cleaning.
    [George's Apartment]
    Three guys in bright yellow overalls stand in George's living room. Two of
    them have a large carpet cleaner by the door, ready to leave, The third, the
    leader, has a notebook.
    CREW LEADER: (calling to George) We're pretty much finished.
    George enters from another room.
    CREW LEADER: There's just one more thing.
    GEORGE: (smiling expectantly) Here it comes.
    The leader opens his book and holds up a check.
    CREW LEADER: (clears throat) You forgot to sign your check.
    The leader hands George a pen, and waits as George appends his signature.
    GEORGE: (signs) Sorry. (expectant) You're sure, uh, there isn't anything
    else?
    CREW LEADER: (flat) No.
    The carpet cleaners begin to leave. George follows the leader toward the
    door, looking disappointed.
    GEORGE: (let down) So, that's it?
    CREW LEADER: Unless you need a receipt.
    GEORGE: (melancholy) I wish that was all needed. Life can be so confusing.
    I..I'm searching for answers, anywhere.
    CREW LEADER: (flat) Good luck with that.
    The leader closes the door on a perplexed George.
    George goes out into the hall with Wilhelm.
    WILHELM: (puzzled) Uh, George, uh, did you call some carpet cleaners?
    GEORGE: Are they here?
    WILHELM: They're in my office, right now.
    GEORGE: (suspicious) They haven't said anything to you, have they?
    WILHELM: About what?
    GEORGE: (to himself, resentful) What kind of a snobby, stuck-up, cult is
    this?!
    Behind the couch, two of the carpet cleaner people enter, including the
    leader. They walk over to a corner. George notices them and stands.
    GEORGE: (to the executives) Excuse me. Did you hire the Sunshine Carpet
    Cleaners?
    EXECUTIVE 1: Yes. Cleaned up the (points) coffee stain, left by Jerry
    Seinfield.
    Wilhelm enters, dressed in the same yellow overall as the other carpet
    cleaners. George looks stunned.
    GEORGE: Mr Wilhelm? Wha..what're you doing here?
    WILHELM: I'm here to clean the carpets. Most of the world is carpeted. And,
    one day, we will do the cleaning.
    George lets this sink in, then slowly turns to the leader.
    GEORGE: (incredulity) Him you brainwashed! (angry shout) What's he got that I
    don't have?!
    The leader shrugs, as if to say 'You work it out.'
    GEORGE: (urgent) Mr Wilhelm, listen. You've been abducted! Please, Mr
    Wilhelm, you gotta listen to me!
    WILHELM: Wilhelm? (he raises the nozzle of his cleaner) My name is Tanya.
    George purses his lips.

    Love the closing lines to this skit, I'll bet it's a nod to Fawlty Towers' "Don't mention the War" bit, one German asking the others "How ever did they win?".

    I believe the carpet cleaners were inspired by the Church Of Bible Understanding, a cult I was in , in the early '80s. We had a carpet cleaning company, Christian Brothers Carpet Cleaning, in the north eastern states and Montreal.

      Oh right, I forgot about that. Not surprising, though. Sab Shimano seemed to get cast in every Hollywood role for a stereotypical Japanese guy over 40. And Gedde Watanabe got cast for seemingly every stereotypical Japanese guy *under* 40.

      Hearst is right, and one tactic of cult brainwashing is to give people a new name with a new identity, while depriving them of the one they had before the cult.

      @@MeneTekelUpharsin Young zillionaire heiress of the Hearst newspaper empire in the 1970s. Got mixed up with a domestic terrorist group calling itself the Symbionese Liberation Army. Was seen in a still photo they released brandishing a rifle and wearing their "regalia," also participated in a bank robbery they committed, caught on bank security footage. At trial she claimed she was abducted and forced to work with them against her will. Others believe she was with them of her own free will. She was convicted at trial and sentenced to 7 years in prison, served about 2 I think. Was a HUGE national story in the mid-1970s.
