Seinfeld - Favourite moment

gardenia  said about 5 years ago  or at  9:32AM on Wednesday, January 31 2007 in chat

Can't believe you guys don't have a thread about the wittiest show ever to appear on the small screen.

It was the only sitcom that didn't patronise its viewers, in my opinion anyway.

I was watching an old tape this morning before work and it included the episode where Kramer finds the old Merv Griffin show set and sets it up in his house. My favourite moment is where Elaine explains how she bought wrestling shoes so she can "sidle" up to the new guy at work without him hearing. And Kramer remarks "only in New York"...(shame Michael Richards is a complete nut in real life).

Classic.

When George goes insane when Jerry is buying a Saab. TWIX!!


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

when elaine is trapped in her flat, and kramer is outside yanking on the knob ... they'd been saying how her apartment building smells of potatoes ... kramer pulls the knob off, goes flying into a door across the hall ... he looks in, and says "whoa! that's a whole lot of potatoes!" ... and from then on, that neighbour is known as "potatoe guy"

perfect ... or

JERRY: Yeah, this speed-dial's like a relationship barometer.
GEORGE: What is a barometer exactly?
KRAMER: It's pronounced thermometer.

the end of the show.

sook...


adamdmills  said about 5 years ago:

it's got to be when george wants jerry to answer the phone "vandelay industries".

kramer answers the phone and george runs screaming out of the bathroom, pants around his ankles, and falls over near the door.

jerry walks in and says "and you want to be my latex salesman!"

it's priceless.


angelic_layer  said about 5 years ago:

also the episode where Jerry has to bootleg the movie for that dude..that my Fav.


filterfeed  said about 5 years ago:

mine would be george's answering machine message


tilljames  said about 5 years ago:

hahaha...
"believe it or not, george isn't at home...."

brilliant.


filterfeed  said about 5 years ago:

hehe, the look on his face when the line "where could i beee?" comes on is awesome.

pretty much any episode revolving around costanza is fantastic.


gardenia  said about 5 years ago:

one of my other favourite moments is where elaine argues with poppy over whether abortion is right or not, and in the same episode there is the correlating argument about when the pizza begins to take birth...is it when your hands are in the dough or later on. so clever!

soup nazi!

no soup for you!!


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

the little moments

george enters jerry's wearing goggles cause he lost his glasses
elaine asks where his old pair is, he says he broke them playing basketball

jerry says "he was running from a bee"

just the expression on his face, and the tone of voice makes me crack up each time


tilljames  said about 5 years ago:

haha - watched that episode last night gardenia.
just dloaded series 6 and been watching it the last couple of days....


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

OH, and the same episode, where he gets a new pair of glasses, which turn out to be ladies glasses

george is eating chips, and kramer makes a perfect face and says

"may i have one of those, madam?"

FANTASTIC


gardenia  said about 5 years ago:

when george thinks photostore sheila placed a semi naked photo in his set to flirt with him and kramer makes george do a photoset of his own for her. jerry is walking back to his apartment and you can hear kramer yelling "who's a loverboy" to get george to play up to the camera.

ha and jerry's response of, "oh yeh this is a good idea"...


pc  said about 5 years ago:

George: Well I, uh, I'm not sure how you pronounce it or anything, but I, uh, I
believe it's Ménage à Trois?

Bonnie: What?

Just then, Scott enters.

Scott: Hi.

Bonnie: Scott! Remember what we talked about the other day? George is into
it.

Scott: Oh really?!

Scott walks towards George, the camera moves in on a close-up of an increasingly
horrified George, and freezes.

So we got an attractive woman, wearing a bra, no top, walkin' around in broad daylight. She's flouting society's conventions!

It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous.

how many sessions did my parents pay for, mr mandelbaum?

not enough to make a man out of you!

Bookman: Let me tell you something funny-boy. You know that little stamp, the one that says ‘New York Public Library’? Well that may not mean anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot!

Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to. I've seen your type before; flashy, making the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Why's this guy making such a big stink about old library books? Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me; maybe.

Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid sitting down opening a book right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn't HE deserve better?

Look. If you think this is about overdue fines and missing books, you'd better think again. This is about that kid's right to read a book without getting his mind warped! Or ... maybe that turns you on Seinfeld; maybe that's how you get your kicks; you and your good-time buddies.

Well I got a flash for yah joy-boy; party-time-is-over. You got seven days Seinfeld. That is one week!
