vandelay industries where george first pretends to be a architect

"No more soup for YOU!"

Soup Nazi is definitely the greatest episode. Isn't it wierd how he looks like Jerry? Jerry's a Soup Nazi at heart too I think. The episode where George and Jerry pretend to be someone else to get a free limo ride and end up at the Aryan rally. I liked that one. Typical George. The finale was classic aswell.

As for Curb, the best episode is definitely the Crazy Eye Killer episode. I laughed so hard at that. "Are you my Caucasian?" Brilliant.

When Kramer decided that butter was more effective and yet cheaper than regular suntan oil.

It's always bothered me that the two Nazis where named Colin O'Brien and Dylan Murphy.

Couldn't Larry David have picked couple names that sounded slightly more ... oh, I don't know ... Germanic?

But afaik the sign by the Limo driver was for an O'Brien. If it had a German name, is it likely that Jerry and George would have happily taken it or might they have smelled a rat?

Morgans

I dont think they were supposed to Nazis in the German sense, more white supremacists. But if you were to be picky, they could have chosen more protestant rather than Catholic names, but that's being picky.

demosuzki

George's answering machine..."Believe it or not George isn't at home.." "...where could he be ?.."

classic.

susan dying from the toxic glue on the envelopes and then in a later episode you see george going back to the shop he bought them in to get invitations for jerry's girlfriend.
shopkeeper: i remember you. didn't you buy wedding invitations here?
george: yeah.
shopkeeper: how did that work out?
george: it didn't.

then george later slips on one of the envelopes and ends up in the same hospital with the same doctor.

Susan died I always wondered what happened to her.. never saw those episodes.

You've a treat in store....loads of stuff about how george has missed out on marrying into all this money...his involvement with the foundation, etc...

actually - just had another fave moment pop into my head...you know when george lands a job, 'cos he has a cane and ends up convincing his colleagues he's disabled so they have to install a stair-lift for him...when they show it, 9 to 5 playing in the background and you see costanza just waving at people and you just KNOW he's in for a slip-up...

Terry

that's a great episode. i love the way he gets caught at the end of it.

another classic is the summer of george.

susan's death is probably one of the funniest things in the history of television and the follow up episodes are [kenny banya] gold, jerry. pure gold. [/kenny banya]

Kramer's turn in The Jimmy, where he wears the adapted trainers and has a shot of Novocaine and the AMCA make him a guest of honour at their function. The scene at the end with Mel Tormé singing to him is hilarious...

rikerdonegal

About all I can add to the list is the bit in The Outing where Jerry and George realise what's happened and George figures bringing Paula Marshall to bed will set the record straight. "You and me, baby! Right now."

Alexander's delivery is just so so perfect, it never fails to crack me up.

Atrocity

not sure if this is up before but I wanted to revive the thread:

the episode where Jerry and Kramer watch the operation.

When Jerry says "let's go watch them slice this fat bastard open."

brilliant. even the look on his face as he is half laughing!

The Junior Mint?

Another great great moment is when Kramer goes to LA, and he goes to this audition. And the guy says 'which audition, the music video, the horror movie, the exercise tape or the horror movie'. The montage that follows is brilliant, Kramer with a mullet wig with a group of kids, bouncing up and down, drinking something green and wincing and just standing and screaming.

lostexpectation

the one where kramer and his mate get work in hospital imitating disease and kramer takes it super serious

Atrocity

The Junior Mint?

yeah that's the one, thanks!

I saw Newman's "OH THE HUMANITY" moment listed above somewhere, that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

slipss

Yeah there all great moments, a few that weren't metioned that I still laugh when I think about them are

The one when thier at the hospital and Kramer thinks theres a pigman in one of the rooms "a Pigman Jerry, PIGMAN!!"

Or the one were were George is going out with a girl with a big nose and Kramer just turns round to here out of nowhere and geos "well your as pretty as any other woman, just get a nose job" the look on the jerry and elaines face is gas.

Or I thought the episode with the mechanic Putty (I think hes one of the best secondary characters) in it when they go to the hockey game and Putty is a Devils fan and he paints his body red and paints his face like a devil. On the way back from the game (the devils are after winning and Puttys all hyped up) and he runs up to the cab with the preist in it and starts screaming in the window "Yeah!!! Devils!!! Yeah!!" classic stuff.

Atrocity

In The Smelly Car, where Kramer says to Jerry, "You stink"
The way he says it, it's the little things like that.

JBoyle4eva

There's an episode where Kramer has given Elaine's number to some people to leave messages and it's a load of faxes instead and all she can hear is the schreeching noise on her phone.

Then the next day:
Elaine-Hey, Kramer, I've got some messages for you!
Kramer-Oh, what are they?
Elaine-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

smuckers

Thats The Maid. Best line from that ep

Kramer: all iscolated from the world, paying scrub women for sexual favours, no I Jerry I won't be like you, I'll never be like you.

Atrocity

Here's that bit from The Burning:

New scene.
Mt. Sanai Hospital. Kramer is on the table surrounded by med students.

Student #1: And are you experiencing any discomfort?

Kramer: Just a little burning during urination.

Student #1: Okay, any other pain?

Kramer: The haunting memories of lost love. May I? (signals to Mickey)
Lights? (Mickey turns down the lights and Kramer lights a cigar) Our eyes met
across the crowded hat store. I, a customer, and she a coquettish haberdasher.
Oh, I pursued and she withdrew, then she pursued and I withdrew, and so we
danced. I burned for her, much like the burning during urination that I would
experience soon afterwards.

Student #1: Gonorrhea?!

Kramer: Gonorrhea!

The lab breaks out in spontaneous applause as Mickey turns up the lights and
Kramer takes a bow.

bania

The bit in the Merv Griffin show ep where George decides to test the deal with the pigeons by running into a crowd of them, but ends up trampling all over them in front of a horrified mother and child.

Also, the bit where George dates a girl who looks like Jerry in The Cartoon episode. When she cuts her hair into a style that looks just like Jerry's, George's reaction is priceless.

FX Meister

My favourite Seinfeld moment. Easy, when it got cancelled. That said, I do love Larry David.
