The “Junior Mints,” definitely.

“Hey Jerry, I found some Junior Mints in my purse. You want some?”

“NOOOOOO!!!” [Tosses purse at her].

“You mean the mint went _into_ the hole?”

My favorite was the “Merv Griffin” one.

> [@](#):

> Kramer’s talk show - when he salvaged Merv Griffin’s set. There was so much going on:  
> George running through the park, kicking pigeons - “We had a DEAL!” . Jerry drugging his girlfriend with turkey and red wine so he could play with her vintage toys. Elaine and her “sidler” co-worker and the Tic-Tacs. Kramer and Newman with Jim Fowler - “Where are the cameras?”

Dead on aseymayo!

“The Boyfriend” one with Keith Hernandez was absolutely hilarious.  
“There had to of been a second spitter!”

“Festivus for the rest of us” was also great.

Better stop, I could go on forever

I love all the ones mentioned, but one of my favorites is “The Jimmy”. It was the one where Kramer wore those crazy basketball shoes to make him jump higher…and through a series of accidents, is believed to be retarded. Mel Torme sings at the end.

Also, there is a guy named Jimmy who only speaks in the third person.

Someone here had “Vandelay! Say Vandelay!” as their sig line. Cracked me up every time I read it.

I’ve won some money due to the episode “The Contest”. I’ll bet someone money that they don’t know who won it. They always say that George won.

I then say they’re wrong and refer to the last episode where George admits he cheated while the plane is about to crash (and take their money).
