Favorite Seinfeld Episode

[BayBuck]

I always thought The Marine Biologist was the best-written Seinfeld episode; I loved George's monologue and of course Kramer's reaction to it:


George: The sea was angry that day my friends- like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli!
I got about fifty-feet out and suddenly, the great beast appeared before me. I tell ya he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence he let out a great bellow. I said, "Easy big fella!" And then, as I watched him struggling I realized, that something was obstructing its breathing. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!...
Well then, from out of nowhere, a huge tidal wave lifted me, tossed like a cork and I found myself right on top of him, face to face with the blow-hole. I-I, I could barely see from the waves crashing down upon me but, I knew something was there- so I reached my hand in, felt around and pulled out the obstruction!

Kramer: (20-some seconds later) Is that a Titleist?

my favorite too

 

[daddyphatsacs]

The Boyfriend (second spitter)
Soup Nazi
The Betrayal (backwards trip to India)

I think I'm about right where BB73 stands. I do think it's impossible to have just a few favorites, that show was classic. I still watch re-runs of it every night.

 

[Brutus1]

The Chinese restaurant.

 

[Dryden]

The Smelly Car.

Jerry: What is going on?

Susan: You know what's going on? First, he vomits on me. Then, he burns down my father's cabin. And now, he's taken Mona away from me.

George: He stole your girlfriend?

Susan: Yes. She's in *love* with him.

George: Amazing. I drive them to lesbianism, he brings 'em back.

...

Elaine: Wait a minute, wait a minute. Kramer, Kramer... Hold on a second. I don't get this. This woman has *never* been with a man her *entire* life--

Kramer: I'm Kramer.

 

[Brutus1]

Elaine: "It shrinks?"

 

[Bob Saccamano]

Elaine: "It shrinks?"

Significant shrinkage!

 

[Buckin' A]

Never was able to sit through an entire episode without thinking, "This is the dumbest horseshit ever put on tv".

Never thought a lick of it was funny.

How dare you? You bite your tongue sister!

 

[Buckin' A]

Significant shrinkage!

I WAS IN THE POOL!!!!!!

favorite line "They're real and they're spectacular"

The show did get kind of stupid at the end. A lot of stuff George did after Susan died, I kept thinking that noone could be that stupid....

My favorite episode is "The Switch" where Jerry is attracted to his girlfriend's roommate. George's brilliant plan is to suggest a threesome with the girlfriend.

GEORGE: All right. Let's go over it again, one more time.

JERRY: All right. So I tell Sandy that I want to have a m?nage ? trois with her

and her roommate.

GEORGE: That's right.

JERRY: And you believe this course of action will have a two-pronged effect.

Firstly, the very mention of the idea will cause Sandy to recoil in

disgust, whereupon she will insist that I remove myself from the

premises.

GEORGE: Keep going.

JERRY: At this point, it is inevitable that she will seek out the roommate to

apprise her of this abhorrent turn of events.

GEORGE: Continue.

JERRY: The roommate will then offer her friend the requisite sympathy even as

part of her cannot help but feel somewhat flattered by her inclusion in

the unusual request.

{George takes over.}

GEORGE: A few days go by and a call is placed at a time when Sandy is known to

be busy at work. Once the initial awkwardness is relieved with a little

playful humor, which she [Laura] of course cannot resist, an invitation

to a friendly dinner is proffered.

JERRY: Huh. Well, it all sounds pretty good. There's only one flaw in it:

They're roommates. She'd have to go out with me behind Sandy's back.

She's not gonna do that.

{Another pregnant pause. George?}

GEORGE: You disappoint me, my friend. Sandy wants nothing to do with you. She

tells Laura, "If you want to waste your time with that pervert, that's

your problem."

{Final pause. Jerry?}

JERRY: It's a perfect plan. So inspired. So devious. Yet so simple.

GEORGE: {George, finger in the peanut butter jar}: This is what I do.

 

[Bucks07]

The Betrayal
The Chicken Roaster
The Boyfriend
The Marine Biologist
The Strike

I could keep going and going.

I have a new favorite the one when Jerry has his kitchen remodeled, only because I recently bought a house and the first 3 friends that came over went into the kitchen and said "This is like that episode of Seinfeld when Jerry gets his cabinets redone!"

 

[JohnnyCockfight]

"The Hamptons" is the shrinkage episode, right? That gets my vote.

Junior Mint and Man Hands were also up there.

 

[Dublin Buckeyes]

Soup Nazi, since I live a block away from where the real store is. Although it hasn't been open in 1.5 years.

You stole my Jesus fish!!
