Seinfeld reruns

My son has discovered the wonderfulness that is Seinfeld. I’ve told him of the show which got me started. I forget the theme, but it was where Jerry lost his keys and George says What do they look like? Jerry says, What do they look like? They look like keys, they look exactly like keys!
I wish I could find out when this particular one was coming up.
Anyway, which was your favorite episode?

Well, if it helps, the episode is titled, appropriately enough, “The Keys”. It’s a two-parter in which Kramer is wanted for murder in the death of an actress in L.A., which is where he goes after he and Jerry argue about the keys. It’s a great episode, but some argue that it was “about too much” and didn’t have that “show about nothing” quality to it.

It has to be a tossup between The Outing, where the reporter thinks that Jerry and George are gay lovers and The Puffy Shirt. The look on Jerry’s face when he walks out wearing that thing is priceless.
Also have to give an honorable mention to “The Boyfriend,” the episode in which George lies to the unemployment office about looking for a job and tells Jerry to answer his phone Vandelay Industries and say that George had applied there.
It featured what was perhaps the funniest scene of the entire series when Kramer answers the phone and says “Vand-what?” George, in the bathroom, is screaming, “Say VANDELAY!! SAY VANDELAY!!”, then comes out with his pants down around his ankles and falls to the ground. The kicker is when Jerry walks in, sees him lying on the floor and says, “To think, I was going to make you my latex salesman.” Wicked hilarious.

Kramer: “I’m out!”

Nitpick: “And you want to be my latex salesman.”

I can’t believe this is what I come out of lurking for, lol. But I LOVE Seinfeld. So, my favorite is actually an episode my brother and I were talking about recently, seeing as how my family just had an EPIC Risk game that we’ll talk about for years.

Anyhoo, it’s the episode where Kramer and Newman are playing the board game Risk and they have to keep the game in Jerry’s apartment because it’s “neutral” territory. Kramer’s car gets impounded and they end up taking the game onto the subway on the way to get his car. While playing the game on the subway Kramer ticks off a guy saying the Ukraine is weak and he smashes the game.

On a side note, my brother recently met Michael Richards. He works at a restaurant in Vermont and Kramer recently came in with his girlfriend while on vacation in the area. My brother was all nervous about approaching him but finally managed to go up to him and tell him that he was a huge fan of Seinfeld, as was his sister and we had both seen all the shows a million times.

Kramer was very nice about it and they chatted for a minute and then he signed an autograph for my brother, and one for me too! :smiley: I asked him later if he had had the “Kramer” hair at all and he said no it was a little shorter, but he did have one of the Kramer ticks while he was ordering. I guess you’d call it nervous energy or something, lol.

Did you see the faux Seinfeld reunion on Curb Your Enthusiasm? Pure, utter genius! It was great to see them together again. That season of Curb is out on DVD and is well worth checking out on Netflix if you have it and don’t want to buy the set.

I love The Strike, the episode that is better known as the Festivus episode.

“Is anyone here a marine biologist?”

Kramer: Ha ha, the Ukraine. Do you know what the Ukraine is? It’s a sitting
duck. A road apple, Newman. The Ukraine is weak. It’s feeble. I think it’s
time to put the hurt on the Ukraine.

Ukrainian: I come from Ukraine. You not say Ukraine weak.

Kramer: Yeah, well we’re playing a game here, pal.

Ukrainian: Ukraine is game to you?! Howbout I take your little board and smash
it!!

:smiley:

Anyway, the one that comes immediately to mind is “The Parking Garage,” where the gang is lost in a shopping mall garage; Elaine has a goldfish in a bag, Kramer is carrying around an air conditioner, and Jerry gets arrested for public urination.

My favorite: the epic hour-long saga of Newman and Kramer’s trip to Michigan to get 10 cent bottle deposits, and the trashing of JFK’s golf clubs.

Honorable mention: when Puddy doesn’t care that Elaine is going to hell. Just thinking about it is cracking me up.

“So, how’s the new pen”?

Absolutely the best.

Mulva?

The funniest was “Man Hands.” She had “Man Hands.” Just saying “Man Hands” is too funny.

They should’ve given “Man Hands” her own show

What’d I just say?

…I had a pony.

So many great scenes, so many great episodes.

But my favorite episode is the one where George has a man-crush on Elaine’s cool boyfriend. And Jerry is seeing a woman who turns out to be a phone sex operator.

“His face! Did anything happen to his face?”

“Mandelbaum, Mandelbaum, Mandelbaum!”


“Are you saying you want a piece of me?!”

The funniest scene in reruns is when Elaine is trying to get her boyfriend Joel Riffkin to change his name beause at the time a fasmous New York serial killer had that name.

She suggests a number of football players’ names, including O.J.

Six months after that show aired, nobody remembered Riffkin, but OJ achieved his lifelong infamy.

You’re Batman!
