    Stan the Caddie
    The Guy who played Kramer in the sitcom
    The Guy who played George in the sitcom "You know, he had his hand, and he was...a....touching and rubbing!"
    Cedric and Bob "We are taking the armoir, and that's all there is to it!"
    Marisa Tomei "So tell me, how someone so bald, and so quirky and funny, how is it you're not taken?"
    Jake Jarmel "So you heard I was in an accident, and decided to stop off for some Juji Fruit?"
    Babu "You bad, very bad man!"
    Mom and Pop, of the Mom and Pop store
    Naomi, the Native American
    Poppy "It's a pizza the minute you make the dough!"
    Mandelbaum
    Russell Dalrymple
    Siddra "They're real, and they're spectacular"
    Jimmy "Jimmy's sweet on you"
    George Steinbrenner
    Hoyt (Mr.) Wilhelm
    Danny Tartabul
    Mona (George's secretary) "It's definitely do-able!"
    Mulva (Dolores) "You don't know my name, do you?"
    Sue Ellen Mischke
    Wick
    Man Hands
    Puffy Shirt girl
    Bryant Gumbel "That's an interesting shirt you've got there Jerry"
    David Letterman

    Those are the only favorites you have? :D

    Oddly enough, the ones I remember aren't on your list:

    1. Bookman (AKA library cop)
    Classic.

    2. Tony the mechanic (now Ramond's bro)
    "The washer fluid is NOT fine!"

    3. The Tyson Chicken president. The way he clucked and bobbed his head and arms still cracks me up....

    The two gay dudes who talk like bad asses and robbed Kramer who was looking after Elaine's cabinet on the street(or whatever that term is which I can't spell). Then, Jerry and Kramer approach them later like they are going to talk bad and get the cabinet back. Then, those gay guys start talking rough to Jerry when both Jerry and Kramer take off running. Then, I believe in another episode Kramer wouldn't wear the AIDS ribbon and these two gay guys with their gay buddies beat the crap out of Kramer.

    Oh....those episodes were hilarious. Not sure if you mentioned them above....I don't know their names.

    Haha....ahh.....the memories.

    I enjoyed watching Mel Torme serenade Kramer at the banquet for people who were "mentally challenged." That was the same episode with the self-referencing Jimmy.

    What about the guy (Elaine's boyfriend I think) who talks too close to people's faces?

    Yeah, that was Judge Reinhold, the "close talker", but his name on the show escapes me at the moment.

    x34, I couldn't remember the mechanic's name.

    Sue Ellen Mishke was memorable, but I'm going to go with The Maestro.

    Ahh, how could I forget Bob Cobb! That billiard scene was classic! "The Place to Be".

    Also:

    Sid Farcus
    Crazy Joe Divola
    Marlene "It was just so much 'fluff'."

    The Maestro!! (Jerry: "I want you to call me Jerry The Great")
    That guy who called Jerry a phony. His name escapes me..."Man, that Michael Jordan is such a phony"
    The Jerry, George, and Kramer from the Bizzaro World (can anyone remember their names? I think the Bizzaro Newman was Fargus.)

    Man, there are so many:

    Some obvious ones for me include Kruger, J Peterman, and Puddy.

    I saw the episode the other night that had Raquel Welch and Elaine was complaining to Peterman about Sam (played by Molly Shannon - she wouldn't swing her arms when she walked) trashing her office. Peterman said something like, "I see that we have here a good old-fashioned cat fight!" Elaine said something and then Peterman said "woof", which led Elaine to say, "don't you mean reow?", and Peterman said, "oh yes! That's the one!"

    I also liked The Bubble Boy (don't think he was on the list), the Soup Nazi, Sharon (reporter who thought that Jerry and George were gay), Seth (Jerry's old college buddy who wound up getting a job at Kenny Roger's Roasters), that really mean old man that was Jerry's senior citizen, Mr. Pitt, the woman that Jerry would drug so that he could play with her toys, Izzy Mandelbaun, Sr., Slippery Pete, Kramer's friend that made Jerry bootleg a movie, Bookman, that Russian writer that threw the organizer and hit that woman in the head, and finally Newman!

    Although Newman may not be considered a periphery character, more like a main one...plus Kevin (the Bizarro Jerry), Gene (the Bizarro George), Feldman..."from across the hall" (the Bizarro Kramer), Farkas (the Bizarro Newman), Gillian (Man-Hands), and the guy who lived down the hall from Jerry but Jerry didn't believe that he lived in his apartment buliding...he later dug up his dead parrot, Ferdie, up in the pet cemetary.

    There are really too many...it just goes to show you how great that show was.

    The "Bizarro Jerry" crew was my favorite, probably.

    Although, Puddy was hilarious:

    Elaine: "The high-five is so... stupid."

    Puddy: "You know what's stupid....? You are."

    Maundelbaum is my favorite, by far.

    "Hey string bean. I'm here to whip you into shape. It's go time!"


    The Library Cop is pretty awesome too.

    Bizarro George was Gene
    Bizarro Kramer was Feldman
    Bizarro Jerry was Kevin (I think??)

    Nevermind...just saw that Manny beat me to it. All hail the Seinfeld trivia god! :)
