When I originally watched Seinfeld it took me a disturbingly long time to realise that a major part of the premise of the show was that the main characters weren't particularly nice people. I don't know why, maybe my teenage mind just didn't get the humour.

This thread makes me want to buy it all on DVD and watched it again. Whenever I've caught an episode here or there I've always thought it has aged pretty drat well and strikes a good balance between traditional sitcom and more subversive/cringey "I can't believethey went there" type stuff.

I was wondering why there wasn't a thread for Seinfeld. I think Seinfeld is the only show I can repeatedly watch without getting tired of. These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Also I've heard there's a superman joke in every single show. I knows there's a lot but is there really that many?

When I was in Korea there was no Seinfeld whatsoever on TV. When I made my dad aware of my predicament he taped episodes until he had 5 vhs tapes full and sent them over.

Vote to change the thread title to "Seinfeld: My uncle's gay!"

Seinfeld catchphrases are of those things that make me wish I lived in an English speaking country.

Man, if you made it to the top 10, and then went on to NOT win, you would have been better of not even playing.

I might have mentioned this, but me and a friend of mine reversed our peepholes in our freshman dorm.

I mean...what if someone was waiting to ambush us with a sock full of pennies?!

I love how Morty seems to live in a dream world where he can do anything/get anything done.

For some reason, this one of my favorite seinfeld lines ever.

I just love the whole meeting the dean scene in that episode.

It always amazed me at how much influence Kramer has towards the rest of the gang. All of his dumbass ideas seem to make complete sense towards the others and they see no other way act upon certain situations.

I was just watching The Package today and all of the bullshit that blew up at the end came as a direct result of Kramer's idea of not only presuading Jerry into commiting mail fraud but convincing George to take racey pictures of himself to impress the photo-store girl instead of just asking her out.

My favorite part of that storyline was, naturally, Puddy's obsession with his European change.

"Let's see here...ten kroner...five kroner...twenty kroner...no wait, that's another ten kroner...fifty kroner?"

What episode is it where Jerry and Elaine are having dinner at someone's house and Elaine is telling Jerry about a dream she had about him ("It was you, but it wasn't you...") as he gives his condescending nod? Think he is at the party to hook up with some chick there.

George gets angrier and angrier as the series goes on. I love how it starts with "GEORGE IS GETTIN' UPSET!" I don't remember the episode, but there's one scene that just ends with George yelling to himself "I'M LOSIN' IT!"

Will never get tired of "Who is this?".

Kramer's stogie-based physical comedy from "The Reverse Peephole" (backwards, dropping it with his slack jaw).

If they couldn't get the real Soup Nazi, couldn't they have at least gotten the actor that played him? Personally, I'd rather have him give me soup than the real one...so long as it was still the real one's recipe.

I always love Jackie Childs being the one to confirm that 'They're real and they're spectacular!' in the finale.

The funny thing about George/Jason Alexander is that he really is actually pretty slim (at least most of the time, and I watch the show all out of order in syndication so I never know what season I'm looking at). He's got big burly shoulders and he's short, so he appears to be very...robust, shall we say, but in scenes when he's wearing jeans and has his shirt tucked in, he's got a pretty trim waistline.
