Biff Loman was a character in Arthur Miller's play, Death of a Salesman.

I believe Jerry tells George to not whistle on the elevator (a reference to
the play) right before George goes on a job interview. It was in the episode
"The Subway" I think.

so I said to him, Arthur, Artie come on, why does the salesman have to die?
Change the title, The life of a salesman. That's what people want to see.

IIRC...In "Death of a Salesman" Biff was a "loser". He didn't get a
job because he stole a pen off the desk during a job interview and
stuff like that.

BIFF references to George.

Ths Subway
==========
George: What are you? Satan? I'm close to a job here. It's my second
interview with them.
Jerry: All right, Biff. Elaine, merry-go-round?

The Boyfriend(1)
===============
GEORGE: I'd love to be a Civil War buff. ... What do you have to do to
be a buff
JERRY: So Biff wants to be a buff? ... Well sleeping less than 18
hours a day would be a start.

Boyfriend(2)
============
CARRIE: I bin' thinkin' about it. You got no job. You got no
prospects. You're like Biff Loman.
GEORGE: I went to the hardware store interview.

The Visa
========
Elaine: He thinks that if you're too funny, he might not look so
funny.
Jerry: Biff?
George: What?
Jerry: You're not worried about that?

The Pez Dispenser
================
Jerry: You think they have fleas there, don't you?
George: *No*...
Jerry: Yes you do, Biff. You've never been to a Flea Market, and you
think they have fleas there.

Elaine: Ok, what time is your job interview George?
George: 9:45
Jerry: Remember, don't whistle on the elevator.
George: Why not?
Jerry: That's what Willie Loman told Biff before his interview, in
'Death of a salesman'.
George: What, you are comparing me to Biff Loman, very encouraging. The
biggest loser in history of American literature.
