The whole Jerkstore plot is definitely one of my favorites
 
Does anyone have a picture of George standing beside the coffin of his gf's relative? The one he uses instead of a death certificate to get half price plane tickets.
 
goddamn I need to rewatch that whole show

I cant decide on a single moment, its impossible.
there are really countless situations that remind me of seinfeld moments, thats why this is my favourite sitcom ever.

"I'm at the corner of first, and first. Wait a minute. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe!"
 
Not too sure about favorite moment, but the best episode is the one about the muffin tops. TOP OF THE MUFFIN TO YOU! Also, it's the episode my username comes from.
 
another moment I just saw recently: When George tries to play hardball with the network execs at NBC

"This IS the show. We are NOT changing."
**snaps fingers for Jerry to go**
 
From The Fire;

GEORGE (voice is hoarse from screaming): I...was trying to lead the way. We needed a leader! Someone to lead the way to safety.

ROBIN: But you yelled "get out of my way"!

GEORGE: Because! Because, as the leader...if I die...then all hope is lost! Who would lead? The clown? Instead of castigating me, you should all be thanking me. What kind of a topsy-turvy world do we live in, where heroes are cast as villains? Brave men as cowards?

ROBIN: But I saw you push the women and children out of the way in a mad panic! I saw you knock them down! And when you ran out, you left everyone behind!

GEORGE: Seemingly. Seemingly, to the untrained eye, I can fully understand how you got that impression. What looked like pushing...what looked like knocking down...was a safety precaution! In a fire, you stay close to the ground, am I right? And when I ran out that door, I was not leaving anyone behind! Oh, quite the contrary! I risked my life making sure that exit was clear. Any other questions?

FIREMAN: How do you live with yourself?

GEORGE: Its not easy.
 
One I was thinking about earlier from The Dealership:

Elaine: "My new salesman boyfriend took me out to celebrate his promotion."

Jerry: "Ah. Where'd you go?"

Elaine: "Uh, to a restauran-"

Puddy: "Arby's."

Elaine: "I had the roast beef."


That last line from Elaine is just perfectly delivered lol
 
I WAS IN THE POOL!

The same episode where Kramer see's the baby - his reaction is priceless.

Also the episode where he works in the office and they fire him

"i don't even really work here"

"that's the hardest part"


There are so many, but the one i quote the most is the ovaltine line
 
Jerry is with Uncle Leo at the diner and he's try to convince Leo to get back with the girl that he just told him to leave. Leo says something like, "But Jerry, you told me to get out there and swing!"

after that Jerry just totally calls him out for being old and disgusting.

such a great 20 or so seconds. Anyone have a youtube of that?

edit: here it is!

Edit: aw, a little slow :P
 
I don't remember the specific episode for this moment, but it's an early one.

Anyway, I think it's the first time we hear about Newman. We don't see him, though. Kramer walks in and tells Jerry that Newman's going to kill himself again. Kramer then goes to the window and tells him to jump.

I laugh hysterically when Newman says, "I'm gonna do it!" Just the way he says that is hilarious. I don't believe it's Wayne Knight's voice. It might have been Larry David - it's been awhile since I've seen whatever episode that is.

Anyone who gets less than a 12/12 on this is disqualified from Seinfeld fandom. Way too easy.
Only got tripped up on one letter on the toilet paper one. Last one took me a second, but as soon as I realized it was the doctor standing next to him, it came to me.

Had it been Jerry, it would have been "You know what? Let's end it right now. Jerry, kill me."

Probably my favorite episode of the first two seasons. "What's a Chuckle?" "It's a gummy candy, comes in five flavors."
 
When Kramer is wearing that coat from the musical, walking with a cane and a womans hat blows down the street, he picks it up, puts it on and looks like a pimp. The whole episode building up to that and the aftermath was hilarious.

There are so many funny moments to choose from its ridiculous.
 
All my favorites are already probably mentioned, but I'll say one that is usually left out -- the movie theater scene where they all meet up but get separated and they all start describing each other. "face like a horse" "face hit with a frying pan" etc.

Favorite show ever.
 
Sorry if it's been posted, but I just watched this episode the other day....greatness:

SALES WOMAN: Mr. Pennypacker, this is Mr. Vandelay, And you know Mr. Varnsen

KRAMER: Uh, Varnsen.

JERRY: Pennypacker.

KRAMER: Vandelay.

GEORGE: Pennypacker. Varnsen.

JERRY: Vandelay. Wait a second. Mr. Pennypacker, if you're here, and Mr. Vandelay is also here, then who's watching the factory?

For some reason a friend and I got hung up on the line :"Bozos dead man! You're living in the past man!" That line bubbles up from my thoughts for no reason sometimes and it always makes me chuckle.

Another non-highlight that always makes me laugh is Puddy and his 8-ball coat. From memory:
<Puddy arrives in a garish fake leather sports coat>
Elaine: What is that?!
Puddy: Check it out.
<Puddy proudly turns his back to show this garish coat>
Puddy: 8 ball.
Puddy: You got a question? Just ask the 8 ball.

That actor just nails the dumb yet proud look so perfectly, it's hilarious!
 
If every instinct I have is wrong, the opposite must be right!

Man, Jason Alexander should have straight retired after the show ended. He's never been half as good in anything else.
Though, that could be said for all of them. Funny, Seinfeld was like a show full to bursting with incredible, but very low range character actors.
 
When Kramer goes to steal Elaine's medical chart for her and doesn't know her actual last name.

"It's BENES you jackass. My last name is Benes."
 
George comparing trying to break up with his girlfriend to a jail break was the moment that I fell in love with the show. Hard to top for me.

In reality, making a top 250 list would be terribly hard to pick, though! Best show evs.
 
"Kramer: Yes, yes. I am Dr. Van Nostrand from the clinic. I need Elaine Benes' chart. She's a patient of mine and she's not going to make it. It's, uh, very bad, very messy.
Attendant: I see. And what clinic is that again?
Kramer: That is correct.
Attendant: Excuse me?
Kramer: The Hoffer Mandolf Neo Clinic in Belgium.
Attendant: Really?
Kramer: The Netherlands?"

I just love that meaningless answer and the way he tries to be convincing when he says it. A friend and me always answer that as a joke when one of us asks something!
 
"Yes. It's called mail fraud. Oohhhh. How I've longed for this moment Seinfeld. The day when I would have the proof I needed to hall you out of your cushy lair and expose to the light of justice as the monster that you are. A monster so vile..... "

Newman is just incredible. Easily the best "guest star" in any TV show. Wayne Knight knocked it out the park in literally every scene he's in.

Also, in the Cigar Store Indian you've got that double whammy of the Chinese Mailman getting angry at Jerry followed by Kramer's drive-by in the taxi. Absolute gold.

Man, Jason Alexander should have straight retired after the show ended. He's never been half as good in anything else.

What the hell are you starin' at?
 
Seeing all these scenes again, I am reminded of simply how great Seinfeld was, and still is! This show is timeless. Most of its episodes are far better than the best episodes of any other sitcom. 100s of amazing scenes. Best damn TV show ever. Nothing has come even close.
