Ddraig posted:Seinfeld always struck me as an excellent example of comedy being best when it's created by a small team of people who have a vision in mind as opposed to comedy by committee that a lot of shows seem to have these days. I love that they worked their philosophy about this into the show using George in the episode "The Comeback". After he tells the group about his great "jerk store" comeback, they all start coming up with different ideas for better comebacks and George freaks out and says.. quote:All right, all right. You see? This is why I hate writing with a large group. Everybody has their own little opinions, and it all gets homogenized, and you lose the whole edge of it. I’m going with jerk store! Jerk store is the line! Jerk store! Brilliant.

Adam Bowen posted:I wish I could actually get my girlfriend/friends to actually give the show a chance, because unless you have absolutely no sense of humor it's hilarious, but Seinfeld (the sitcom and the actor) is decidedly uncool now.  How is that possible? What age group is this that thinks Seinfeld is uncool?

hall n oates mom posted:Are you sure? I feel confident it was foreshadowed at least once. On the other hand, we do hardly ever see the Elaine's apartment set throughout the series. It's the same episode. Elaine: You remember that next door neighbor of mine, the apartment that always smells like potatoes? Jerry: Your whole building smells like potatoes.

I say it's fair game...George's only true mistake was getting caught. Well, you, my friend, have crossed the line that divides Man and Bum. You are now a Bum.

This has always been one of my favorite moments. I also love when George is talking to Susan's parents after she's dead. George : Uh, Mrs. Ross, it's - it's George. Mrs. Ross: Who? George : George Costanza, Susan's, uh, friend?... Jerry : *hilarious look of disapproval*

HateTheInternet posted:One of my favorite George outburts was when Susan's parents agree to go to the Hamptons with him. George: "And that leads into the master bedroom." Mrs. Ross: "Tell us more." George: "You want to hear more? The master bedroom opens into the solarium." Mr. Ross: "Another solarium?" George: "Yes, two solariums. Quite a find. And I have horses, too." Mr. Ross: "What are their names?" George: "Snoopy and Prickly Pete. Should I keep driving?" Mrs. Ross: "Oh, look, an antique stand. Pull over. We'll buy you a housewarming gift." George, chuckling to himself: "Housewarming gift." George, swerving the car to go to the antique stand: "All right, we're taking it up a notch!"

Tiny Fistpump posted:"This guy...this is not my kinda guy" Easily my most quoted line from Seinfeld. His delivery is so perfect. He's so troubled by the whole thing. Elaine and Frank is always a hit. Frank: I once talked to the reverend Yung Son Moon. He bought two Jesus statues from me. He's a hell of a nice guy. Elaine: uh huh... Frank: Ever see that face on him? Like a Biiig apple pie.

I was watching the episode where Elaine, Kramer and Newman decide to rub out the dog. I love the shot of Kramer sleeping and then the look into his dream where he is dressed as a boy from the Tom Sawyer era with the dog attacking him. I wish I could find a video of it.

First she suggests Deion. After that, she suggests O.J. This was in 1993. I was sitting on the toilet the other day thinking about posting this observation in this thread

I love all the pigman stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG81Bvyzi6w Something about how angry George gets about Kramer's assumption that the pigman would be able to facilitate a ride. GEORGE: Okay. The administrator's on the third floor. I'll meet you guys by the car. KRAMER: You got room for the pig-man? GEORGE: The pig-man can take the bus. KRAMER: You know, if pig-man had a car, he'd give you a ride. GEORGE: How do you know? What if Pigman had a two-seater? KRAMER: Come on George, be realistic.

This is one of my favorite scenes. I love that for once George is composed and on track and everyone else can't focus. GEORGE: Slippery Pete, Kramer tells me you are one hell of a rogue electrician. And shlomo, you're the best truck driver. SHLOMO: I don't know If I'm the best. GEORGE: Oh...you're very good. SHLOMO: Let's say "good." GEORGE: Ok. Good. And Kramer, you're in charge of taping off the loading zone. KRAMER: Lock and load. SLIPPERY PETE: You think you can handle that, numb nuts? KRAMER: All right, all right, come on, now. SLIPPERY PETE: That was my mail-order bride. KRAMER: Hey, you weren't home, so I signed for her. SLIPPERY PETE: It doesn't give you the right to make out with her. KRAMER: You weren't even married yet. GEORGE: All right, all right, calm down, calm down. Whatever happened in the past is past. George gets a napkin and starts to draw on it. GEORGE: Now, this is the basic layout for Mario's Pizza. SHLOMO: So what kind of jail time are we looking at if we're caught? GEORGE: What do you mean? SLIPPERY PETE: We're stealing this thing, right? GEORGE: No. I--I paid for it. SLIPPERY PETE: I thought we were stealing it. KRAMER: Yeah. It feels like we're stealing it. GEORGE: We're not stealing it. SHLOMO: I definitely thought we're stealing it. GEORGE: All right, let's--let's focus. Can we get back to the plan? SLIPPERY PETE: Well, I need a battery for this kind of a job. Can I at least steal a battery? GEORGE: Fine. Steal the battery. Now, all right, here is the Frogger. This is the front door, and this is the outlet. SLIPPERY PETE: What's that? GEORGE: The outlet? SLIPPERY PETE: Mm-hmm. GEORGE: That's where the electricity comes out. SLIPPERT PETE: Oh, you mean the holes. SHLOMO: Which one's the bathroom? GEORGE: Uh, here. SHLOMO: They put the Frogger with the toilet? Yecchh. GEORGE: The Frogger is here. KRAMER: George, I thought that was the door. SLIPPERY PETE: Where are all the pizza ovens? SHLOMO: I thought the bathroom was here.

My favorite episode is The Race. Kramer as Santa, Mickey as an elf, Elaine dating the commie, Jerry dating Lois and the Superman theme throughout with the perfect climax... Every quote from Kramer about communism is hilarious. quote:KID: I want a racing car set. quote:KRAMER: Each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
