Favorite Seinfeld Episode

[Catch22Dem]

Poll question: Favorite Seinfeld Episode

Mine is the one where Elaine finds out Puddy is religious when she borrows his car and all the stations are set to Christian Rock
Jerry: "it's a used car, he probably didn't reprogram the stations."
Elaine: "Yes, he is lazy."
George: "Maybe he didn't know how to reprogram them."
Elaine: "Yes, he is dumb."
Jerry: "So you're ok with dumb and lazy, but not religious?"
Elaine: "Hey, dumb and lazy I understand."

Then she pries the jesus fish off his car.

[Ksec]

1. wow. I just posted no soup 4 u on another thread.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

2. Frogger. The whole episode builds up to the sublime moment where

the machine has to be toted across the street, in true frogger fashion.

[DS1]

9. ditto

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. The Bubble Boy

Everything about that episode cracks me the fuck up.

[Catch22Dem]

5. There's no such thing as Moops you idiot! (n/t)

[Beaverhausen]

4. Manbro...no, the "contest"...no, the marble rye...no...

way too hard to pick.

[terrya]

6. "Tropic of Cancer"

with George getting the "atomic wedgie"...and the very memorable appearance of Mr. Bookman, the New York Public Library cop. :-)

[Tripper11]

7. Too many to even come up with one.....

"The Contest", on and on and on....

[flamingyouth]

8. The Slicer.

"Well, then you'd better get a camera!" :rofl:

[Ksec]

10. George caught masturbating by his Mom was funny also

My second fav

[mitchum]

37. That's my first fave...

second would be when the Jerry and George get in the limo with the neonazi loonies

But as I tell my wife, "They're all classics!"
She doesn't get their brilliance. Yet, I remain married to her :)

[BikeWriter]

56. Oh, shit yeah!

[Arkana]

11. The Contest.

Kramer slapping the money on the counter and saying "I'm out!" :rofl:

[Catch22Dem]

14. Wasn't it after a day?

Because of the girl in the window across the street!

[Arkana]

18. Yes!

"It's Kramer! Wave to him!"

[ghostsofgiants]

12. I think the Jesus Fish episode might be my favourite as well...

Puddy is hilarious.

[no name no slogan]

23. "Feels like an Arby's night"

only Puddy would think that "going out to eat" would mean going to Arby's

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. The Pony Remark

JERRY: I know, I hated those kids. In fact, I hate anyone that ever had a pony when they were growing up.

MANYA: ..I had a pony.

(The room is dead quiet)

JERRY: ..Well, I didn't really mean a pony, per se.

MANYA: (Angry) When I was a little girl in Poland, we all had ponies. My sister had pony, my cousin had pony, ..So, what's wrong with that?

JERRY: Nothing. Nothing at all. I was just merely expressing..

HELEN: Should we have coffee? Who's having coffee?

MANYA: He was a beautiful pony! And I loved him.

JERRY: Well, I'm sure you did. Who wouldn't love a pony? Who wouldn't love a person that had a pony?

MANYA: You! You said so!

JERRY: No, see, we didn't have ponies. I'm sure at the time in Poland, they were very common. They were probably like compact cars..

MANYA: That's it! I've had enough! (She leaves the room)

ISAAC: Have your coffee, everyone. She's a little upset. It's been an emotional day.

(Isaac leaves, everyone looks at Jerry)

JERRY: I didn't know she had a pony. How was I to know she had a pony? Who figures an immigrant's going to have a pony? Do you know what the odds are on that? I mean, in all the pictures I saw of immigrants on boats coming into New York harbor, I never saw one of them sitting on a pony. Why would anybody come here if they had a pony? Who leaves a country packed with ponies to come to a non-pony country? It doesn't make sense.. am I wrong?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

15. I love "The Contest," but I think the Keith Hernandez shows were INSPIRED

I also LOVE "The Marine Biologist."

[Catch22Dem]

16. "Is that a Titleist?"

:evilgrin:

[alarimer]

27. The marine biologist is my favorite

because I am one. Really. I am not pretending like George, although when I mention what I do nearly everyone brings up that episode.

[Ksec]

17. Where can one find good writing like that today?

[mac56]

19. Not to pick nits

but "latex salesman" is the same episode as "Keith Hernandez".

Carry on.

[Catch22Dem]

43. I'll be damned

You're right! I swear, I do that all the time. My buddy and I will start one of those Seinfeld conversations that goes something like "what about the one where..." and next thing you know, we're talking about the same epiode.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

20. The "Kramer finds the Merv Griffin set in the dumpster" episode

Sorry, I've seen all of the other episodes, and none of them TOUCH this one.

Twenty three minutes of pure perfection.

:toast:

[Coventina]

61. "And we're back!" That's my favorite one also

:thumbsup:

[fizzgig]

21. the quiet talker/poofy shirt

"but i don't wanna be a pirate"...

of course the one where kramer finds the old merv griffin set...that damn squirrel...

[Kire]

22. "Not that there's anything wrong with that."

and also the one where they're stuck in the parking garage and the car won't start

[Arugula Latte]

25. Yeah -- that's a great one: "I'm thin. I'm neat. And I'm single."

[AntiCoup2K4]

40. Believe it or not, that ending was a total accident.

The original joke was just remembering where the car was parked and all the trouble they got in along the way just trying to find it. The big screen TV, getting busted by the rent-a-cops for pissing in the corner, etc. After all of that they were supposed to get in the car and drive off into the sunset at the end.

The car not starting, and the laughter from the cast as a result was not scripted. But it worked so well that they left it in. I couldn't imagine the episode with any other ending now.

[Arugula Latte]

71. I heard that too. One of the best "accidents" in a show ever.

nt

[Arugula Latte]

72. My favorite bit of physical comedy: the catsup squirt

In the diner, Jerry is telling George how he was talking dirty with his date. You know, the usual. George: What usual? What do I know from usual? Jerry leans over to whisper to George what was said, and George involuntarily squeezes the catsup dispenser and a perfect arc of catsup goes flying.

[Initech]

24. HOOCHIE MAMA! HOOCHIE MAMAAAAA!!!

[ofrfxsk]

26. The Subway

Elaine has a panic attack in the subway and screams "MOTHER FUCKER!" in her head which was bleeped of course. I still bust out laughing at that one.

http://www.tv.com/seinfeld/the-subway/episode/2270/summary.html

[Cannikin]

28. When Jerry flies first class and sticks Elaine in coach.

[blonndee]

29. My very favorite SCENE of all time is when Elaine steals George's toupee

right off his head and runs to the window and screams: "I don't like this thing! And here's what I'm doing with it!"

And she throws it out Jerry's apartment window.

But the Jesus fish one is awesome too. I LOVE Elaine's rant at Putty in her apartment, and when she makes the devil face and horns at him!

[AntiCoup2K4]

41. How about when Elaine & Putty go to the Priest

And the priest does the :evilgrin: face and tells them they're BOTH going to Hell for "living in sin"

[Catch22Dem]

44. This is BOGUS!

With Puddy wearing the "8-Ball" jacket. HAHAHAHAHA

[baldguy]

30. Are the "Master Of Your Domain"?

Either that, or when they spend the entire episode in line at the Chinese restaurant.

[ellie]

31. The Gum

where George tries to convince the daughter of a neighbor of his parent's that he isn't crazy. Where Jerry wears glasses at the behest of Elaine and Kramer: Elaine because she doesn't want to sit next to Lloyd Braun at the movies and because Kramer doesn't want Lloyd to think that people are avoiding him because of his nervous breakdown. 'Twas a marvelous episode. Larry David even appears in it at the end.

[chaska]

32. The one where George decides to do everything the opposite of how he....

normally would.

[tridim]

33. The one where Kramer hits a golf ball into a whale's blowhole

and George pretends he's a marine biologist.

"Was it a Titlist?"

I also like the Junior Mint episode.

"It's a junior mint! It's very refreshing!"

[Scurrilous]

34. The Trip Part II

Kramer moves to LA (Part I) is arrested as the 'Smog Strangler.' I liked the scene where Jerry and George visited Kramer in jail.

[rockymountaindem]

74. "Aw dude, what a bummer...

You know what I'd do if that ogre ever pulled that... crap on me? I'D STAB HIM!!! I'D STAB HIM!!!"

One of the funniest lines in Seinfeld not spoken by one of the four main characters.

[tarkus]

35. Either "The Contest" or"The Outing"

Tough choice indeed.

[NNadir]

36. I've actually never seen a Seinfeld episode.

I'm familiar with the characters from osmosis, but I've never actually seen an entire episode.

[mitchum]

38. I envy you...because I love the show so much

I can only imagine the untasted pleasures awaiting you :)

[NNadir]

42. Maybe then, I should just savor my privilege for a few decades more.

I wouldn't want to ruin my chance to be envied.

[mitchum]

75. LOL!!!

But it really is a great show...and I hate television

[hibbing]

39. anytown usa

Very hard choice, loved the titlelist, but I loved the
one where Kramer got the screen door from George's dad
and put it on his apartment door and had a little
"front porch" and some offscreen kids come and
hassle him, too much

[Seabiscuit]

45. Other: What's a Seinfeld?

Curb Your Enthusiasm? Funniest show on TV.

Larry David? A genius.

The Seinfeld show? Entirely forgettable.

[Catch22Dem]

47. entirely forgettable? yes, as evidenced by this thread

:eyes:

[Seabiscuit]

51. Just my opinion. I didn't bother reading the thread.

[Catch22Dem]

46. What about when George gets George C. Scott (Elaine's dad)

Singing "Master of the house / keeper of the inn."

[Starbucks Anarchist]

57. I think that was Lawrence Tierney playing her dad.

Some of my favorites are the ones where Elaine doesn't know if her boyfriend is black or white and all the confusion that results.

Also, the one where Jerry's dentist converts to Judaism just for the jokes, and in particular, Jerry's exchange with the priest at confession (paraphrased):

Jerry: "I'm Jewish."
Priest: "Oh, that's not a sin."

[gmoney]

48. Kramerica (Jerry chooses the "Helloooo" voice)

"There's nothing dirtier than a big ball of oil."

This is the one where Kramer gets an intern, George's employer (Gordon Jump) tries to make it impossible for George to get into his office, and a lot more...

"Apparently your entire business consists of a disorganized man in a cramped apartment that may or may not contain a chicken."

"And with Josh's help, we'll GET that chicken!"

(Quotes recreated from faulty faulty memory)


Also, I like the one where they wait for the table at the Chinese restaurant.

And of course, the Festivus episode.

[Vektor]

49. Elaine's nip in the Christmas Card, and the Marble Rye.

Goooood times.

[Beware the Beast Man]

50. "The Jimmy."

That episode is so offensive it's funny.

[Lethe]

52. Festivus for the rest of us!

that was a good one!

And now, the Feats of Strength!

[Samurai_Writer]

53. I can't believe no one has mentioned The Sponge episode!

I don't even WATCH Seinfeld and I know all about that one! Read the script here:

http://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheSponge.html

Hilarious! I know just how Elaine felt when they took it off the market!

[BikeWriter]

54. I remember that one. It was damned silly.

[fleabert]

55. Mulva! nt

[SaveElmer]

58. The Contest..."Master of my Domain"...

The best Jerry the best

[underpants]

59. (gulp) Titleist?

Too funny.

Apparently the scene in the hospital where George tosses the Tic-Tacs to his mom had to be shot in two parts...about 45 minutes apart. She couldn't stop laughing.

[SaveElmer]

60. I don't know how they ever kept a straight face...

I'd be cracking up all the time...

[elshiva]

62. The one where Elaine complains that Kramer leaves

spaghetti sauce encrusted on the strainer.

Kramer: "You got to strain the sauce!"

[Barad Simith]

63. Schmoopie

(episode otherwise known as "The Soup Nazi")

George to Elaine: "They actually had a 15 minute discussion over which one of them was called schmoopie."

http://www.tv.com/seinfeld/the-soup-nazi/episode/2356/summary.html

While on their way to the "soup place" Elaine finds an antique armoire she wants. George makes a mistake while trying to get his soup from the "Soup Nazi." Elaine isn't allowed to move her armoire into her building, so Kramer offers to watch it for her, out on the street. George and Elaine discuss how annoyed they are by Jerry's sweet-talking with his current girlfriend, especially their calling each other "Schmoopie". Elaine makes an ordering error in front of the "Soup Nazi," gets on his bad side and is banned for a year. In broad daylight and in Kramer's presence, two "tough" guys come along and take Elaine's armoire. Kramer relates the story of the armoire to the "Soup Nazi," who says he has an armoire in the basement that Kramer can have. Jerry's girlfriend makes a faux pas in the "soup place" and Jerry disavows any knowledge of her. George confronts Jerry and reminds him about their pact. George and Susan see Jerry and his girlfriend at the diner and they begin to compete against each other. Susan appreciates that George is finally showing his feelings in public. Kramer gives Elaine the armoire and tells her where he got it. Elaine goes to thank the "Soup Nazi" but gets even further on his bad side. Jerry discovers the armoire contains the "Soup Nazi"'s recipes and Elaine takes them for her final confrontation with the "Soup Nazi."

[kick-ass-bob]

64. Spongeworthy.

Interviewing people to see if they were sponge worthy.

:thumbsup:

[faithfulcitizen]

65. My favorite is Kramer hijacks city bus-AND KEEPS MAKING THE STOPS!

Jerry- "You're Batman!" hilarious!!

[ProfessorGAC]

66. He Didn't Hijack It!

He was on a bus and a robber hurt the driver, so Kramer was fighting him off, driving the bus, trying to get the driver to the emergency room.

That's why the "you're batman" line. Kramer was a superhero!
The Professor

[faithfulcitizen]

67. well, that's what I meant...hijack, comandeer, whatever! :)

[ProfessorGAC]

68. I Didn't Want You Callin' Kramer A Criminal

Remember that hijacking is a crime, and we DU'ers are nothing but law-abiding folks.
The Professor

[Ron Mexico]

69. The one where

Elaine is the only one who hates "The English Patient" and the Mendelbaum men all get hospitalized trying to lift stuff over their heads.

[MalibuChloe]

70. i have 2 - the backwards one and the subway one

The episode that went completely backwards was an absolute classic - it was the one where Elaine was going to India for a wedding and Kramer had that lollipop that kept getting bigger and bigger (because the show was going in reverse).

Then the one where Elaine was going to the lesbian wedding and they got stuck on the subway and Elaine had that giant gift in her arms and she had to keep explaining to people that she was the best man at a lesbian wedding. "I'm not a lesbian! I hate men, but I'm not a lesbian!"

[Chovexani]

73. It's all about Festivus for me

And now for the airing of grievances!

[Parche]

76. steinfeld

NONE, that was the dumbest, and never funny show on TV

[Left_Winger]

77. Beyond Body Odor
