I seem to recall an episode of Seinfeld about this. Can anyone remember?



I do not recall the Seinfeld episode, but in the (also now past) TV show Becker - which starred Ted Danson - there was a character who always spoke as an illeist.
"Bob is very lonely"
"That is not for Bob"
"Bob would has been..."
His name was Bob, by the way.
