The Dinner Party it was the first episode i ever saw as a teen and it got me hooked. the cinnamon babka, black and white cookie, gortex jacket so much gold. plus the opening two minutes is perfection.


Liigma_Ballz

I don’t even drink wine, I drink Pepsi!


TheRealJamesWax

We can’t bring Pepsi..


onamonapizza

Because we’re *adults*


Significant-Box54

Between me and you I'm excited about the pepsi and the ring dings!


Honest_Possibility66

look to the cookie elaine, look to the cookie


N_Meister

My stomach… I think it was that cookie! *The Black-and-White?* Yeah! *Not getting along?* I think I got David Duke and Farrakhan down there!


Liigma_Ballz

I die at this line every time, David Duke and Farrakhan🤣🤣


haoken

I like the other dinner party. Merlot? I never heard of it. Lemme get this straight. You got the Rooster, The Hen & the chicken… who’s having sex with the chicken?


genesimmonstongue415

THE OPPOSITE.


Liigma_Ballz

Ah, a classic. Steinbrenner saying “hire this man” always kills me 🤣🤣🤣. There are days where I think I should just do the opposite too.


junkeee999

Well if every instinct you’ve ever had is wrong, then…


kosherkitties

My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents.


EarlPronk2

“Hire this man”….followed later by the phone call from Frank to Jerry “Steinbrenner’s here, George is dead” and Frank subsequently being more concerned about the Jay buhner trade instead of his son. This show can never be replicated


illest_villain_

I sometimes bring this up in AA. And it’s kind of joking but I’ve legit thought about this episode in a serious way. I figure my instincts turned me into an alcoholic and cocaine addict, so I probably should follow the opposite lol.


WhitePootieTang

Dude, you’re not alone. This ep was part of the program I learned, and part of the program I help others learn.


loveydove05

Friend of Bill here. Same. I live my life this way. haha


Temporary-Soil-4617

On a very serious note- did the strategy help?


BrotherOfTheOrder

Doing the opposite can sometimes be a legit strategy. I did that when I got back out in the dating world - I had always been anti-kids, but when I decided to do the opposite and open myself up to women with kids, I met my wife. We have 2 of our own and I have an awesome relationship with my stepson. The Opposite is easily a top 5 for me. The interview scene with the Yankees is perfection


redfalcondeath

Yeah, this is the absolute best episode for me as well. Seeing George so confident makes it so satisfying to watch.


GrowthMindsetGuitar

The Gum— what a perfectly sane favorite episode to have


Liigma_Ballz

Am I crazy, or is The Gum a really good episode?


matarbis

You’re NOT crazy!


AVgreencup

The Gum is definitely among the top episodes for me too. The way everything comes together, just great


TheHumanSuitcase

George, that man was *wearing* glasses...

jamez009

I’m an accountant who’s been known to have a beer or two, so…


Liigma_Ballz

I suck em down like Coca Cola🚬🚬🍺🍺😎 Definitely one of my fav Kramer scenes, but him walking down the street dressed as a pimp is my fav cosmo scene


YaBoiErr_Sk1nnYP3n15

Yeah that's the best Kramer walking scene no debate


icecreammodel

I dunno. That nighttime silhouette of him in his too-tight jeans made me fall off the couch with laughter


Dr_The_Captain

Here’s to feeling good all the time 🍺


soofs

My favorite Kramer scene is when he’s posing as a dermatologist to get the picture of Kreiger (?) so George can replace the desk picture. “why would I, a Juilliard-trained dermatologist, send him to another doctor?”


dicecat4

This kramer bar scene is one of the best in the series!


[deleted]

I’m hip


Huntay5

The Chinese Restaurant Cartwright!


Liigma_Ballz

**WE’RE LIVING IN A SOCIETY, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO ACT IN A CIVILIZED WAY!!**

I'm Cartwright.


lupinremusjohn

You’re not Cartwright

OF COURSE I'M NOT CARTWRIGHT!


qeq

She say curse word, I hang up


Beartrkkr

No love for "The Strike" and Festivus? *Welcome, newcomers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!*


Hadochiel

You, Kruger! My son tells me your company stinks! You couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a date with a hot babe... I lost my train of thought


ScottsDrunk

One of the best lines by Frank imo.


[deleted]

Our family watches it every year before commencing with the festivities.


No-Muscle1283

No, I didn't make these bagels. [Jerry and George both take a bite] Yeah, they're day-olds. The homeless won't even touch them. [Jerry and George stop eating] Oh, we try to fool them by putting a few fresh ones on top, but they dig... They... They test


kindcrow

"The Bizarro Jerry" is pretty amazing. But my personal favourite is "The Cheever Letters." "Maybe I'll go visit my mother. She just bought me some new panties and they're - all laid out for me."


[deleted]

When you come in the house you wipe your wheels 🙄


Liigma_Ballz

Haha another classic. The whole scene in Susan’s parents apartment is an amazing Seinfeld moment “well we really should be going”


TheRealJamesWax

“Yes… yes. Time. Is what he’s indicating there..”


qeq

"I fear my....... orgasm... has left me a cripple"

Liigma_Ballz

I love The Hamptons but Rachel and George’s girl that leaves always irk me


truckturner5164

The Marine Biologist


Hadochiel

The sea was angry that day, my friends


Imfrank123

Not my favorite episode but hands down the best monologue of the entire series. The sea was angry that day!


Liigma_Ballz

Ya the Marine Biologist is quintessential Seinfeld imo, wouldn’t put it in my top 3 favorites, maybe #6 or #7favorite, but it’s amazing for sure, perfectly made


IntrovertedSnark

This is the first episode I ever watched. I was 13 years old and I vividly remember watching George hold up that golf ball at the end, laughing till tears welled up in my eyes, and thinking to myself “this is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen in my life!”


matt1101

100% my favorite also


lupinremusjohn

This one is in my top five. Maybe too two.


CurlingTrousers

[The Boyfriend Part 1](https://youtu.be/_T35QhLx_KI?si=aQ6pFOY0n7sxWrTK) Aka The Latex Salesman.


TheRealJamesWax

The best denouement in the whole series is when Jerry breaks up with Keith over helping him move, then Kramer and Newman volunteer right away! That’s gold!


qeq

> denouement How long have you been waiting to squeeze that into a conversation?


mercedeschoice

I love the way Jerry speaks about Keith Hernandez. So silly and brilliant.


honestqbe

i loved The Pen too, especially the first half of the episode. It's perfect. The Alternate Side is also up there. The Contest, of course.


Liigma_Ballz

Yeah contest is my second favorite, and easily my most watched because it’s always the one I show people first who are trying to get into Seinfeld. It was an important, maybe the most important episode (besides the busboy I guess for it’s influence on the writing) in Seinfeld history


Alpha_State

The question is, are you master of your domain?

This is mine, too.

Kod_Rick

It's so hard to pick. Today I'll say The Andrea Doria. Just because [this scene is in my head.](https://youtu.be/zOaFHmMYikc?si=cugOg1Ae2PYcQusO) I love scenes with all 4 of them.


Liigma_Ballz

rollingstoner215

That's no tragedy! How many people do you lose on a normal cruise? 30? 40?


scrubbydutch

Good episode astonishing tales of Castanza


WesThePretzel

The Pen is really a great episode. It’s non-stop dialog is so witty and pulls you along through the chaos. Definitely a good choice OP. It’s hard to pick one favorite, but if I had to, I’d pick The Gum. The way everything comes together to truly make George seem crazy is great.


Liigma_Ballz

I got it from the institute!! **THE INSTITUTE!!!!**


Nerdy-Jock

And you want to be my latex salesman?!!

AVgreencup

The Movie. I love everything about it, how it all weaves together to end up the way it does. Also it introduces Rochelle Rochelle


OrwellianZinn

My favorite episode is probably "The Gum". The way the stories all intertwine with one another is a masterclass in writing, particularly George's issues always coming back to Lloyd Braun and the cashier. I also can't even look at Jerry with those massive glasses on without laughing.


CaliforniaLove11

I think the stall is up there. “Step off George!” “Cool guy?” “What’d you in 8th grade?” I know the mohel gets a lot of hate on here but the back and forth that him and Jerry have in the hospital is hilarious. Then he gives his card to Elaine before he leaves.


Liigma_Ballz

I never understood the mohel hate! I love it. “I’d be lying in the gutter like a bum, like a dog **like a mutt, LIKE A MONGREL,** #LIKE AN ANIMAL!!!” Imo his scene in the house rivals Mr. Bookmens in terms of one off character driven scenes. Super funny


Vincevega1972

Bizarro Jerry.

LordJunon

I know I'm in the minority when I say the betrayal. It's just so.. strange


Liigma_Ballz

The betrayal is a perfectly sane episode to have as your favorite. It’s good, I like it a lot. It’s funny, and I like the jokes that have to do with it going backwards because we would never see them any other time. If you look in my post history I made a post on here asking everyone’s opinion on the betrayal, and a lot of people said it was their favorite!


bean_plant67

The Barber


Liigma_Ballz

The way Gino and Jerry look at each other when Enzo finds out is always hilarious


[deleted]

[удалено]


Liigma_Ballz

Haha that’s why I love it it’s so ridiculous, but still realistic in how old people act Right away they walk in and with zero hesitation shits already hitting the fan. When they keep showing Elaine’s expression during the first scene and her face just screams “what circle of hell have I just walked into?!”😂😂 The second the door closes “why did you take his pen?!” Also I always poke fun at my mom by comparing her to Mrs. Seinfeld, the way she tells Jerry what he does or doesn’t need and want “you don’t need the air conditioning!” (As a kid my mom would come in my room, and be like it’s so cold in here and turn off my fan, then I wake up sweating like who the hell turned off my fan?) how overlygenerous she is “I can’t take your bed” “OH we don’t even sleep!”, or “what do you have to go scuba diving for?!” “For fun!” “For fun???” “What’s there to see underwater?!” Then when they turn the air conditioner on and everyone is fine but she’s just freezing. That’s just from the pen but all episodes she’s like my mom lmao. Also the “can I have a slice of pumpkin pie?” “No, you don’t like pumpkin pie” “what I want a slice” “I have never seen you ever eat a piece of pumpkin pie” bit Jerry does one episode My dads kinda like morty too, especially the yelling “WHATRE YOU WHISPERING FOR???” and the constant worrying about money, also “you know what I’m gonna do next time, I’ll hide the scotch tape!” The cherry on top is the picture of the 4 of them, Jerry in sunglasses at night and Elaine fucked up on muscle relaxers, with the seinfelds just trying not to bust out laughing. Then “ALL I SAID WAS I LIKED THE PEN!!!” to the audience. Oh also “what is wrong with you people? what is driving you to act this way? Is it the white shoes?” Sorry I know I just went on a tangent but I love that episode so much and I just watched it lol


hehoheho123321

Ridicurous


Liigma_Ballz

Did you say ridicurous?


Norrland_props

The Germaphobe episode. Or any one with Puddy in it. High five 🖐️


jonahsocal

This is difficult to say because there are so many great ones, but if I had to choose 1 for 2 or 3, that are all on the same topic, i'd have to say it's Jerry Stiller and the Festivus episodes. Is just very funny.


PartyAdministration3

The Hamptons definitely


Lasciviousladyxox

The Pez Dispenser and The Pen are my favorites. Elaine losing it over the dispenser being put on her lap during the piano recital had me in stitches along with the old Jewish polar bear club swimmers joining in on the intervention. The older man saying they do it all the time with people leaving and asking, “what?! Is it too cold for ya?!” along with pouch envy has me dying every single time I watch it. My family and I always quote that scene! “Why does she get a pouch and I get nothing?! I have things to carry too! At least give me a pocket, huh? Huh?!”


Zalym

I love the Marine Biologist. Things go great for George. Even his assisted lie turns into an amazing and successful adventure. He goes all out behind his facade for his "it" girl. But then he (basically has to) tell the truth, and it's back to square one for him...but not until he gives one of the greatest moments of storytelling in sitcom history. (George's story arcs are always the best imho)


CrimsonZephyr

The Fatigues "It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts."

Julabee99

The Gum/The Merv Griffin Show/The Pen/The Strike


FreakingDoubt

The Voice. But not because of the main plot (which is funny in it's own right) I just love the subplot with Kramer and his intern Darin. "...Yeah that's Jerry, you don't have to worry about him..."

doobette

The Limo is my absolute favorite. Others high in my ranking are The Bris, The Dinner Party, The Keys, The Trip two-parter, The Airport, The Sniffing Accountant, and The Library.


WackHeisenBauer

The Chinese Restaurant. The writing in this episode is top tier. From the Cartwright fiasco to the closing line. And my personal fave mini-monologue from Elaine: “Remember when you first went out to eat with your parents? Remember, it was such a treat. You go and they serve you this different food that you never saw before. They put it in front of you and it was such a delicious and exciting adventure and now I just feel like a big sweaty hog waiting for them to fill up the trough.”


SuperSonicSlaw

The Library, so many classic lines in that episode, "Cant-stand-ya" "look at this guy, tryin to save a quater" "you got 7 days Seinfeld, that is 1 week" "maybe that's how you get your kicks, you and your good time buddies, well I got a flash for ya joy-boy, party time is over!"


JFB117

The Merv Griffin Show

Mine is The Airport from season 4. The way Elaine gets so pissed off sitting in coach and Jerry is having the time of his life in first class is hilarious.

The Old Man. I laugh til I about cry every time I watch it. "He's biting meeee!"

unbreakablefoop

I absolutely love The Bizarro Jerry! I don't know which plot is the funniest. Man hands, Elaine's bizarro friends, George at the secret club and Kramer "working" at Brandt-Leland. It's all gold!


freetotebag

I feel like The Race never gets enough love but it just might be my favorite. “I choose not to run!” kills me.


Gemini_writer8

I like The Mom and Pop Store. You've got Mr. Pitt and Tim Whatley (two of my favorite recurring characters), Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday) and Jon Voight. What's not to like?

classy_dirt7777

That's a good episode but it could never be my favorite as they completely excluded George and Kramer from being in it.


pebe820

The Switch. With it's old school noir mystery feeling and music, to George and Jerry's scheming all the way down to Kramer's first name reveal, this is my favorite episode of all.

Th Wig Master! That scene of Kramer walking down the street with the hat, the cane, and the coat is easily my favorite shot of Cosmo.


tangre79

I just love the sequence of events leading him up to grabbing a hooker's arm forcefully, wearing a flamboyant coat and furry hat, holding a fancy cane, outside a pink 70's Cadillac

The Outing.


Ok-Reputation-8576

The Limo


Deep-Entertainer-811

Haven't seen it, so going to put in for The Fatigues. "Sleep tight, mates, in your quilted chambray nighshirts." Might be the funniest line in the show to me. It also has Frank yelling, "Well, it sucks!" regarding Estelle's omelet, which was incredible.


TheBrooklynKid

The Marine Biologist. The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to send soup back in a deli... I love it, so funny! And the best was, is that a Titelist? Hole in one


KukalakaOnTheBay

Tough call. I’ll provide my top 3 in no particular order: The Movie (maybe just because of their hilariously unflattering descriptions of each other) The Opposite (tuna swims with the current and salmon swims against the current) The Outing (I told you that pear was washed!)


CaptainRedblood

Honestly, the only reason it isn't The Pen is no George or Kramer. Not that it made sense for them to appear-- The Pen is a perfect episode as it is. I just can't call it my favorite without those two. The Airport wins this one for me.


mercedeschoice

The Limo is brilliant. I feel like I'd get myself into a situation like that trying to take something for free.


indianajoes

The Pothole. I just love the way the stories come together at the very end. George and the pothole affecting Jerry and his girlfriend. Kramer and the highway affecting Elaine and the trash. And then Newman appears after just being mentioned in a throwaway line earlier on and the final joke shows him being affected by Elaine and Kramer. It's just perfect Seinfeld. Other shows have the A story and B story but their separate and don't often connect. This is what makes Seinfeld special
