I always liked the Bizarro Jerry episode. And the backwards one that someone else mentioned where they're in India. The one where Kramer gets "the curse" where he's irresistable to women is my favorite Kramer moment.
Too many to choose from but the one that sticks in my head right now is when George tries to get fired - body suit boy just cracks me up.
I love watching the re-runs...I love when Elaine try's to dance at the x-mas party and she gets it started...I believe its called "Little Kicks"...In the same episode is where Jerry films a movie with a camcorder...
One of my favorites is: Kramer invites smokers into his apartment: Jerry: "What happened to your face? It looks like an old catcher's mitt." Kramer: "My face is all craggly. It's crinkly." Jerry: "It's from all that smoke. You've experienced a lifetime of smoking in 72 hours. What did you expect?" Kramer: "Emphysema, birth defects, cancer. But not this. Jerry, my face is my livelihood. Everything I have I owe to this face." Jerry: "And your teeth, your teeth are all brown." Kramer: "Look away, I'm hideous!" This scene is also notorious for being on the blooper reel because neither one of them could get through the scene without laughing(especially Jerry every time he looked at Kramer in that smoking after-effects make-up).
Is the Puerto Rican Day episode off limits? SALES WOMAN: Mr. Pennypacker! KRAMER: Uh, yes, uh, I--I wanted to, uh, stop by and make sure that my shark tank fits-- uh, hello. SALES WOMAN: Mr. Pennypacker, this is Mr. Vandelay, And you know Mr. Varnsen KRAMER: Uh, Varnsen. JERRY: Pennypacker. KRAMER: Vandelay. GEORGE: Pennypacker. Varnsen. JERRY: Vandelay. Wait a second. Mr. Pennypacker, if you're here, and Mr. Vandelay is also here, then who's watching the factory? KRAMER: The factory? JERRY: The Saab factory? KRAMER: Jerry, that's in Sweden.
LOL!! How could I forget? That one is even better than Body Suit Boy. GEORGE: [Frantically] Did anybody call here asking for Vandaley industries? JERRY: No. What happened to you? GEORGE: Now, listen closely. I was at the unemployment office and I told them that I was very close to getting a job with Vandaley Industries and I gave them your phone number. So, when now when the phone rings you've got to answer "Vanadaley Industries". JERRY: I'm Vanadaley Industries? GEORGE: Right. JERRY: And what is that? GEORGE: You're in latex JERRY: Latex? And what do I do with latex? GEORGE: Ya manufacture it. ELAINE: Here in this little apartment? JERRY: And what do I say about you? GEORGE: You're considering hiring me for your latex salesman. JERRY: I'm going to hire you as my latex salesman? GEORGE: Right. JERRY: I don't think so. Why would I do that? GEORGE: Because I asked you to. JERRY: If you think I'm looking for someone to just sit at a desk pushing papers around, you can forget it. I have enough headaches just trying to manufacture the stuff. ... [phone rings] KRAMER: Yallo. What delay industries? ELAINE: no no , .. GEORGE: [from bathroom] VANDALEY, SAY VANDALEY! KRAMER: Na, you're way way way off.. Well, yeah that's the right number but this is an apartment GEORGE: [from bathroom] VANDALEY, SAY VANDEL... [George falls] ... vandaley Industries, ... KRAMER: no problem, ... no problem. [Hangs up] ... How did YOU know who that was? [Jerry enters - sees George on the floor] JERRY: And you want to be my latex salesman.
So many to choose from...the two that stand out in my mind though are The Soup Nazi and Opposite George. The Keith Hernandez story arc is a classic though. Cosmo Kramer: [phone rings, Kramer picks up the phone] Hello... What Delay Industries? George Costanza: [yelling from the bathroom] Vandelay! Say Vandelay! Cosmo Kramer: No, you're way, way, way off. Well yeah, that's the right number, but this is an apartment. George Costanza: [rushes out of the toilet with his pants on his knees] Vandelay! Say Vandelay Industries! [falls down] Cosmo Kramer: Yeah, no problem. [hangs up phone] Cosmo Kramer: How did you know who that was? Jerry: [enters apartment, sees George lying on the floor with his pants on his ankles] And you wanna be my latex salesman?
I do mean Larry David. I gave the show a chance- about 6 episodes. Just can't stand his neurotic humor. Doesn't do it as well as George.
I like the "Square to Spare" episode best, with the woman with the flinty voice. They're all great, though.
To each his own I guess. I love CYE. It's a great way to get my Seinfeld fix because I haven't seen every episode 20+ times like I have with Seinfeld. You do know that George is based on Larry, right? Not the other way around.
I liked the final episode with the trial and all the people coming to testify Festivus for the rest of us!!!
I liked the finale also. Most hardcore Seinfeld fans hated it. I thought it was pretty well done. GEORGE: This would never have happened if they had given us the Ted Danson plane!
My favorite is the episode where they find out Kramer's first name, but not because of that gimmick. It's also the episode where George and Jerry band together to try to figure out how to pull the roomate switch. Just the idea of us brainless twits (all men, of course) putting our simpleton brains together to dupe a women ... brilliant.
Salon.com had a brilliant article about the episode a few years back, calling it "one of the great misunderstood works of our time." Everyone raved about what a downer it was, no big surprises or happy endings, but it was right up my alley -- and a perfect segue into Curb Your Enthusiasm.
