My favorite is the one that took place in the lobby of the Chinese restaurant.

"We live in a society!"
"CARTWRIGHT!"
"You're not Cartwright."
"Like a pig at the trough."
"I'll give you $5..."

I know that episode pretty much off by heart and was the basis of one of my best practical jokes.

I find 95% of the shows very funny, and so does most of America.

The only 2 Seinfeld’s I remember are “Soup Nazi” and “Poofy Shirt”.

But of course, the entire series was famously, about nothing.

George and the bomb scare at the Yankees. I never liked it that George left The Yankees, every single bit they ever did with George Steinbrenner was brilliant.
I said before that when the show first came on I passed on it because I was familiar with Jerry Seinfeld's comedy routine and he made comments that I'd make. He didn't strike me as insightful because he thought the way I do. But then I watched and saw how the characters interacted and were so well written and I was hooked.
Now if someone can explain to me how " Mike And Molly" or "Modern Family" ever lasted beyond one season, that would be appreciated.
I didn’t start watching modern family until the rerun started showing up on USA and TBS, but now I watch the same episodes over and over just as I do with Seinfeld and the Office.I love it I think it’s hilarious at times.

I've seen maybe 10 minutes of Seinfeld, and it was this episode. Never bothered to attempt any further viewing.

No one mentioned Festivus for the rest of us? How about the high score ******* game? Lost in the mall parking lot? I loved the episode where Kramer is attempting to multitask and he reveals that he washed the salad while he took a shower. T-Bone/Coco was also hilarious. Way more than five episodes. The soup nazi was based on a real place and person in NY. Dated a guy who ate their lobster bisque and said it was amazing, very meaty. There was also the episode where Jerry saw the same girl alternating as either attractive or weird.

I used to love the show as a kid, seen every episode. Now I might watch it, if nothing else is on, or usually avoid it. One day the episode where George thought Jerrys girlfriend was cheating on him and it was just a policewoman and her horse, becaue he lost his glasses. At some point managed to see a nickel on the floor and read the year on it from about 8ft away, had me cackling. As an adult I look at some of the situations and think what self-respecting person does or puts up with whatever, I certainly wouldn't. It doesn't kill the humor and often they remind me of a few white people I know. You could almost say it's our version of british humor or something.



I find myself saying or paraphrasing some stuff from the show. One day I went over a friends house and walked in the door, he asked me how I was just going to walk right in his house, so I turned around, walked back out, and rushed back in Kramer style screaming; "Jerry, Jerry!" His girlfriend about wet herself and the look on his face was just priceless, she about died when she looked at him. Funnier than the time I climbed in his window with a pizza.


If the show aired today, it probably wouldn't make it past the pilot.

The "Two-face" girl, lol. I prefer Man Hands but both are good!

Gotta' say, I'm a big fan of the Keith Hernandez episodes, especially with the "magic loogie" story & Vandelay Industries.

"The Boyfriend, Part 1" Season 3
