| Originally posted by Wilhelm I also love the one when a Kenny’s Roasters opens with a red neon light outside Kramer’s window. For some reason him and Jerry switch apartments and Jerry turns into Kramer. Also, I don’t remember what episode it was, but it starts with Jerry and George sitting across from each other in the diner. They both have mustaches and they decide to shave them. Later, in Jerry’s apartment Kramer comes in and he has a mustache. He looks at Jerry and George and Jerry says “Yeah, we’re not doing the…” and Kramer runs out the door and returns seconds later, mustache-free. That’s one of my favorite moments ever. |
Hahah, the kenny rogers roasters episode was genius…i loved how kramer was addicted to the chicken so he couldnt ask them to turn off the light, and throughout the episode he would start mumbling “kenny, kenny, kenny, kenny…”
soup nazi
the contest
serenity now
manzier (whatever the episode was called)
festivus (whatever the episode was called)

| Originally posted by Fazer I think that my fave episode had to be “The Dealership”. George and Jerry’s discussion on what nougat is cracked me up and the Candy lineup was just one of the most hilarious things EVER. Also, it was a great episode for David Puddy “High Five…now on the flip side!” |
Some other great Puddy lines include “I’ll be back. We’ll make out.” and “Feels like an Arby night.”
And by far the funniest moment from the last episode is when Elaine asks Puddy not to wait for her while she’s in prison, and he says “Yeah, okay.”
I also like the episode where George and Jerry try to figure out how to dump a girl and then successfully start dating her roommate.
I’ll echo the love for David Puddy. His reaction to Elaine’s freak-out that she’s going to Hell: “It’s gonna be rough.”
Yea, to name a few I’d have to go with:
Man Hands
Festivus
Kramer’s Cigar Club
Kramer taking erotic photos od George-do whatever you’re comfortbale with.
If I am not mistaken Patrick Warburton continues to be the voice of Superman in the new American Express shorts that Seinfeld has been putting together. Those things arent half bad either.

Heh. I remember how hilarious it was when Jerry’s “I’m not sure of the exact pronunciation, but…” Menage a Trois scheme ended up backfiring. I laughed, thinking, “Ha ha! Jerry’s been foiled again!” Then I thought, “Wait a minute, he just got involved in a three-way with two beautiful women! How is that being foiled?” And his excuse for backing out was a bit weak (though obviously his real reason was that he was a coward). Still a brilliant episode, though. One of George’s best lines: “Do you ever get down on your knees and thank God that you know me, and have access to my dementia?!?”
I LOVE the episode with the Chinese gum, Lloyd Braun, George’s “breakdown”, and Jerry wearing glasses. The most hilariously convoluted plot ever (before the plots started getting completely ridiculous, in a bad way.)
Too many later episodes had characters just suddenly attacking each other in unfunny ways on flimsy pretexts, or whatever. It’s a shame, since the early episodes are so brilliant at detailing conversations that are weirdly believable, despite their ludicrousness. I kinda miss the way they attempted to give Jerry and George’s various love interests actual personalities.
Most underrated “Seinfeld” character: Kenny Banya
“Soup’s not a meal!”
“That’s gold, Jerry! GOLD!”
Joe Mayo and Tim Whatley are also hilarious.
"Puddy, can you make sure no one touches the stereo?’
“Sure thing Joe Mayo.”
“My mother caught me?”
“Caught ya, doin’ what?”
“You know…I was alooone”
The group gets it.
The Contest is pure brilliance.
Pez Dispenser. “You can’t leave me, I HAVE HAND” “And you’re gonna need it”
The episode where Elaine walks around the restaurant in a lowcut dress for no other reason than she looks hot.
The episode where Elaine tells Jerry’s grandmother to drop dead.
“Oh, it’s you again, look, stop calling, he doesn’t like you, no-one likes you so just DROP DEAD”
After Jerry realizes it was his Nana on the phone.
“YOU TOLD MY NANA TO DROP DEAD”
“Maybe she won’t”
Yes, she WILL"
I always loved that.
“It was a little mint! It was Junior mint!”
I believe that was also the same episode where George buys the handicapped woman the defective, discount wheelchair.
God, there were a lot of great episodes. I’ll only mention a couple, because otherwise I’m going to write a goddamn book:
“The Cheever Letters”-In the aftermath of Kramer burning down Susan’s parents’ cabin, George finds letters detailing the torrid affair novelist John Cheever had with Susan’s father ("My orgasm has left me a cripple…"
, while Kramer, eager to replace his lost Montecristos, naturally assumes that he can just flim-flam a few out of the Cuban embassy. Best bit: Jerry starts dating one of Elaine’s co-workers, but scares her off with his bizarre pillow talk ("You mean the panties your mother laid out for you?".
“The Rye”-Susan and George make the mistake of having a dinner with their respective sets of parents, while Kramer gets offered a deal on a hansom cab and can’t pass up the adventure of driving it. The broad range of humor in this episode makes it special: grossout comedy (Kramer feeding his horse with gallon drums of "Beefareno", sex farce (Elaine’s frustration that her saxophonist boyfriend won’t go “hot ‘n’ heavy” because it would wear out his mouth), and comedy of manners (the class conflict between Susan’s parents and the Costanzas, and Jerry stealing a loaf of rye bread from an old woman because George’s parents insisted on having it at the dinner, a transgression that would come to haunt Jerry in future episodes). In a weird sort of Edith Wharton-esque way, there’s also an unusual note of feeling in this episode, because it’s almost touching to see Jerry lower himself so he can come through for George.
“The Junk Mail”-Part of the rally in the final season, the episode typifies the dense plotting of late Seinfeld. Jerry’s life is invaded by Frankie Merman (Dana Gould), the “summer George” from his sleepaway camp days, a clingy loser Jerry can’t bring himself to get rid of ("When he was upset, he would go to the forest, dig a hole, and climb into it". Meanwhile, George’s parents decide to cut off all contact with him and George-chagrined that he didn’t think of doing this himself years ago-starts dating his cousin, hoping the shame will both provide revenge and reemphasize the familial bond (of course, his parents don’t care).
The other stories are also hilarious; Kramer goes on a crusade to stop getting junk mail, which eventually leads to an elaborate vendetta against the US Postal Service, while Elaine starts dating a man (Toby “Artie, the Strongest Man in the World” Huss) she has an inexplicable affinity for, only to discover that she remembers him from playing “The Wiz” in commercials for Nobody Beats the Wiz. Best bit: Frankie saddles Jerry with a used Econoline van, which Kramer swindles him out of in exchange for some “Hollywood memorabilia” (a wifebeater stolen from Anthony Quinn).

Yes, and it was brilliantly revisited in the episode in which George is dating a woman whose rommate is even more of a fat schlub than he is, so he embarks on a campaign to get her to dump the roommate and thereby neutralize the other guy’s home-court advantage. Finally, she starts schtupping the roommate anyway, and George pulls out “I’m not sure of the exact pronunciation” as a last resort, only to discover that they’re both, as Jerry would say, “into it”. The last shot is of George screaming in horror as the roommate starts to move hungrily towards him…
That final shot always looked like George was trying to eat the camera.
I just remembered the one where Elaine is trying to get the New Yorker to admit that their cartoon makes no sense.
NY EDITOR: Well Ms. Benes, cartoons are like gossamer…and one doesn’t dissect gossamer!
ELAINE: Well, ya don’t have to dissect it. Just explain why it’s funny.
NY EDITOR: It’s merely a comment on contemporary mores.
ELAINE: But what is the comment?
NY EDITOR: It’s a satire?
ELAINE: No.
NY EDITOR: A slice of life?
ELAINE: I don’t think so.
NY EDITOR: Vorscheidt?
ELAINE: …That’s not a word.
“Is anyone here a marine biologist?!”
I love when George spins intricate lies and it usually all comes to a head and his house of cards crumbles on him. In this case though, it’s hilarious that he suceeds, if only for a litte while.
There are so many episodes to love - the one where the journalist thinks that Jerry and George are gay, not that there’s anything wrong with that; the one where they are stuck in the parking garage; the one where Jerry’s dad gets booted out of the condo presidency.
“It’s like the sun, you glance, you don’t stare.”
“You don’t know my name do you.”
“Mulva?” Girl storms out…“It’s Deloris”
(Something like that anyway)
