I was thinking that it was, but then I thought I was mistaken. But then you made me think that maybe it was.
So I googled “seinfeld bizarro world.”
This pretty much cleared up the answer without me even having to read a single word.
I don’t really have a favorite, per se. The shows really run together they don’t seem to stand on their own. But I have a lot of favorite moments:
“I’ll pay you $50.00 if you go over and take a bite of their egg roll”
“I’m definitely down for some rock climbing”
J. Peterman wanting to buy Kramer’s stories for the catalog
A coffee table book about coffee tables!
“He’s a hideous brute…yet I can’t look away”
Kramer and Newman’s scheme to get more money out of the bottle returns
Sooo many more!!!
“Oh, I suppose you don’t want people calling you up and bothering you at home. Now you know how I feel.”
I scrolled down in and in the memorable quotes section, it had this:
Jerry: What’s in the briefcase?
Kramer: Crackers
And I laughed. Long and loud.
Also: the episode where J. Peterman thinks Elaine is addicted to opium. Everything with J. Peterman is amazing.

oh gosh, I googled it and that’s the same episode where Jerry buys black market shower heads! Elephant shower!
From the one when the valet left his BO in Jerry’s car . . .
Jerry: Do you smell that?
Elaine: What am I – hard of smelling?
I use this all the time. Guys sometimes like to sit in a room and just veg. Drives my wife crazy. She’ll come in the room and say something like: are you just sitting here with no lights on? My response (in a Puddy voice), accompanied by a thousand-mile squint/stare, of course: “Yeah, that’s right.”
“White lotus: yam-yam.”
“With the little kicks?”
“I’ve seen that before - it’s a ZIGGY! Quick, Elaine - to the Archives!”
Elaine and Suzy, Suzy and Elaine!
From perhaps my all-time favorite episodes: The Junk Mail
Kramer starts a campaign against the post office because of all the junk mail he receives:
Newman: “You’re in trouble, Kramer. I shouldn’t even be talking to you, but I’m telling you as a friend. Here’s how it’s going to happen: you may be walking. Maybe on a crisp, autumn day just like today. When a mail truck will slow beside you, and a door will open, and a mailman you know, maybe even trust, will offer to give you a lift.”
Kramer: “Are you through?”
Newman: “And no one will ever see you again!”
Kramer: “Are you through?”
Newman: “Yes. No, wait! OK, yes.”
Newman, seeing postal security officials walking towards Kramer: “Quick! Get in!”
Kramer: “Oh, no, no, no. That’s exactly how you said it was going down.”
Newman: “There’s another way it can go down, and it’s going down right now!”
Kramer: “No. You said a mailman I know, and YOU’RE A MAILMAN I KNOW!”
Wilford Brimley later appears as an ominous Postmaster General. He puts the fear of God into Kramer but lets him go. It looks like Newman (being brought into the room with a metal bucket on his head) may not be so lucky.
Newman, to Kramer: “Tell the world my story!”
This episode also is the one where Elaine dumps Puddy to date The Wiz. “I’m the Wiz, and noooobody beats me!”
And it’s the episode where Jerry’s old friend Frankie Merman–the “summer George”–gives him a van, and George feels like his parents are ignoring him so he devises a scheme to date his own cousin so they’ll confront him about it.
It all comes to a head when George drives Jerry’s van into Central Park at night with his cousin, Rhisa, having set things up so his parents will come along and find him making out with her. Frankie Merman happens across them and begins banging on the van, shouting “Seinfeld’s van!” which George mishears as “Son of Sam” and he bursts out of the van, running away into the night screaming “I knew it wasn’t Berkowitz!”
George’s parents then find the empty van and get inside and start making whoopee. Jerry and Frankie are going to get the van when they meet up with George and Rhisa and the following exchange occurs:
Jerry: “Hey, George!”
George: “Jerry! Hey, that’s the guy!”
Jerry: “What? George Costanza, Frankie Merman.”
George: “Oh. The summer me.”
Frankie: “The winter me.”
Jerry: “You must be George’s cousin.”
Rhisa: “Girlfriend.”
Jerry: “All right.”
George, seeing Jerry’s van shaking: “What is that? That van’s a-rockin’.”
Jerry: “Don’t go a-knockin’!”
Estelle, after George opens the van door: “Oh, my god!”
George, seeing his parents being “intimate”: “Oh, my god!”
Frankie: “Now you gotta sell this van.”
Jerry: “Oh, yeah.”
I love so many episodes but I guess my sentimental favorite would be The Opera since that was the first episode I saw all the way through.
“You still afraid of clowns?”
“Yeah”
The taste of a Seinfeld reunion we got last season on Curb Your Enthusiasm made me realize just how much I miss the show. It had such a distinctive voice. It would be great to hear what it has to say about today’s society.
Can you believe the earliest episodes are over 20 years old!??!
Sic semper tyrannus!
Am I crazy or is that a lot of gum?
George: “Can I come with you?”
Elaine: “I’m sorry. We already have a George.”
“Seinfeld. Party of four!”
I always liked the chain of events that ended up with Kramer in the pimp hat and cane and Technicolor Dreamcoat on his way to pick up his pink cadillac and had to confront the hooker.
The one where Elaine has to pretend to live in another building to get her fish and has to clean out the basement and she has to drive on the highway where Kramer made the “luxurious” lanes and George was trying to jackhammer his Phil Rizutto out of the ground. “Holy cow!”
When the Kenny Rogers opened up and Kramer and Jerry switched personalities. “Oh, I’m stressed!” and then poor Kramer at the end. “kenny…kenny…kenny.”
I liked too when Kramer had that fake job and he and Jerry turned into some 50s/60s sitcom married couple.
I don’t think anyone mentioned Junior Mints.
the boss: “I’m sorry, we’re going to have to let you go.”
Kramer: “I don’t even really work here!”
the boss: “That’s what makes this so difficult.”
“I didn’t want you to know I was out of work. It’s embarrassing!”
“Who does he think he is?”
“I’m Keith Hernandez.”
You know, I must have missed Bizzarro Jerry, despite watching the reruns so many thousands of times. Luckily, it’s available on the TBS website. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason for which episodes are there or not. And the only way I found it was by using another site that normally gives illicit links.
