Inspired from the STD thread, what is the one episode you'd pick to watch if you had 23 minutes to live? If you pick a clip show, you're a dork. Mine would be The Burning. I waited so long for them to show this episode last winter that when it finally came on, a buddy of mine and I spent the commercial breaks on the phone reciting all the funny lines from it. This episode is full of classic quotes. Jerry: Showmanship, George. When you hit that high note, you say goodnight and walk off. George: I can't just leave. Jerry: That's the way they do it in Vegas. George: You never played Vegas. Jerry: I hear things. George: Tell you how you could check. Elaine: How? George: Reprogram all the buttons, see if he changes them back. You know? The old switcheroo. Jerry: No, no, the old switcheroo is you poison your drink then you switch it with the other person's. George: No, it's doing the same thing to someone that they did to you. Jerry: Yeah, Elaine's gonna do the same thing to Puddy's radio that the radio did to her. George: Well that's the gist of it! George: I knew I had hit my high note so I thanked the crowd and I was gone. Jerry: What did you do the rest of the day? George: I saw "Titanic". So that old woman, she's just a liar, right? Jerry: And a bit of a tramp if you ask me. Elaine: Hello boys. George: Hey, so, did you give that radio the old switcheroo? Elaine: I did. George: And the Christian rock? Elaine: Ressurected! And look what I pried off of his bumper, a Jesus fish! George: Jerry, do you have any fishsticks? George: I'm against all "it's me"s. So self-absorbed and egotistical, it's like those hip musicians with their complicated shoes! Jerry: One message. Hope it's not from you. Answering machine: "Hey Jerry, it's me. Call me back." Jerry: Sophie. George: She's still doing that? Jerry: Yep. George: Alright, I'll tell you what you do. You call her back and give her the "it's me", heh? Pull the old switcheroo. Jerry: I think that's a "what's good for the goose is good for the gander". George: What the hell is a gander, anyway? Jerry (picking up the phone and dialing): It's a goose that's had the old switcheroo pulled on it. Hi Sophie, it's me. Sophie: Hey Raef. Jerry (to George): She thinks it's someone named Raef. George: Good, let her think it. Jerry (into the phone, with a disguised voice): So, what's going on? Sophie: Not a lot. George: Ask about you, ask about you. Jerry: So, uh, how are things with Jerry? Sophie: Oh, I really like him but, well, I still haven't told him the tractor story. Jerry: Right, right, the tractor story. Sophie: Are you sick, Raef? You sound kinda funny. Jerry: I sound funny? George: Abort! Abort! Jerry: Yeah I better get to a doctor, bye. (Hangs up) That was close! What drives me to take chances like that? George: That was very real. Jerry: She said there's some tractor story that she hasn't told me about. George: Woah, back it up, back it up. Beep, beep, beep. Tractor story? Jerry: Beep, beep, beep? What are you doing? And that's before the first commercial.
Out of the few episodes I've seen, I'd say the parking garage episode. I always thought the show was overrated, but I've been watching reruns lately and they're not too bad. The soup nazi episode was pretty good...
I do not know the official name of the episode, but I like the one where Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer go to the Hamptons for the weekend to see the ugly baby.
Man, this is a tough one. So many to choose from but I'll stick to the spirit of the thread and choose only one. I guess I'd have to go with "The Gum". The one where Kramer gets a job working in that old theatre and tries to keep Lloyd Braun from thinking he's crazy. KRAMER: Now see, this is what the holidays are all about. Three buddies, sitting around, chewing gum, huh? Mmm, mmm, yeah. So uh, you know, Lloyd, he thinks he can get more of this. JERRY: Well, Lloyd's a very industrious fellow. I'm sure he can accomplish anything he sets his mind to. I love when Jerry puts those glasses on and can't see a thing. And of course, this is the episode where Elaine has the wet T-shirt....
Did y'all Seinfeld fans know that Jason Alexander will be speaking one week from this Sunday (on November 13th) here in Houston at the Jewish Community Center as part of their annual book fair? Tickets are available....
The Soup Nazi (115) episode. ELAINE: Hi there. Um, uh -- [drumming on countertop] Oh! Oh! Oh! One mulligatawny and, um.... what is that right there? Is that lima bean? SOUP NAZI: Yes. ELAINE: Never been a big fan. [coughing] Um..you know what? Has anyone ever told you you look exactly like Al Pacino? You know, " Scent Of A Woman." Who-ah! Who-ah! SOUP NAZI: Very good. Very good. ELAINE: Well, I -- SOUP NAZI: You know something? ELAINE: Hmmm? SOUP NAZI: No soup for you! ELAINE: What? SOUP NAZI: Come back one year! Next!
"Are djou talkin' to me or are jou talkin' to him? 'Cause it seems like djou are talkin' to me!" paraphrasing the two gay toughs who stole Eliine's armoire.
The funniest thing about this episode (and most episodes he's in) is Kruger. "According to our latest quarterly thing, Kruger Industrial Smoothing is heading into the red. Or the black, or whatever the bad one is." "Are you done? Silly voices, c'mon people, let's get real." "I'm not too worried about it." "Check it out - Three times around, no feet. All me!" "You seem like you've got a pretty good handle on it." "Thank you George, you've been great. That's it for me. Goodnight everybody!" "K-uger!"
So many to choose from.... The episode where Elaine had the "Bizarro friends" The "jesus fish" I have to think hard about this ...........
SHRINKAGE!!! thats one of my favorites. george's girl sunbathes topless and everyone but george sees. kramer poaches lobsters. breathtaking babies. the scene where they are all at the dinner table and george has the extra tight shirt and he's telling his girl how it must have shrunk in the wash. "thats what happens when things get wet" and elaine says "tell me more mr. science".
That eclaire episode still cracks me up... Jerry: Let me get this right...so you saw an eclaire in the garbage can and thought 'What the hell, I'll just eat some trash'. Also that episode that Jerry says to George: "I'm just like you, only more successful."
