In one of the episodes this was the exchange.
Newman: The serbs are fanatic about their shower-heads.
Jerry: Not from the footage I've seen.
What exactly is Jerry saying? Everybody started laughing in the audience for like 10 seconds and I wasn't, and I'm feeling that I'm missing out on a good joke.
Someone please explain!

I think Jerry is saying the Serbs do not bathe enough, or regularly -- and thus the phrase "The serbs are fanatic about their shower-heads" would be the opposite of what would happen with a culture obsessed with bathing.
Or I could be completely wrong.

That's what I first thought, but if that's the case, then what footage is Jerry talking about? And do serbs really bathe less?

And how come such a long laugh from the audience?

As you probably know, the countries of former Yugoslavia were ravaged by wars throughout the 90's. I think Jerry is referring to the news footage he had seen, which most likely didn't emphasize the Serbs' obsession with shower-heads.

Yeah, it's refering to how war ravaged the people in that area are.

During WWII, wasn't there a place called the showers in the death camps? What came out of the shower heads was not water, but it was gasoline. Then the Nazi bastards would light the captives on fire. I'm just wondering if Jews lived in Serbia, that's what Jerry would be referring to. In one scene from Schindler's List, they implied that they had put Jews in the showers and burned the people alive.

I doubt they'd be laughing at that...
