Fans debate bathroom scenes in Seinfeld episodes, noting instances where characters use bathrooms on-screen, challenging the show's reputation for avoiding such scenes.

Only if the sofa is *in the bathroom*.

What about the one where Kramer is backed up and has to resort to an enema? Wet and wild! Also in the same episode, when George learns of Kramer's predicament, he has to go.

Another is where George wants Jerry to pretend he's Vandeley Industries, and Kramer picks up the phone. George stumbles out of the bathroom with his pants around his ankles screeming, "Vandeley! Say Vandeley Industries!"

Yet another is where Elaine is in the bathroom stall at the restaurant, and the woman in the next stall (currently in Twister) can't "spare a square".

And the one where George (or was it Jerry) resorts to urinating in the parking garage when they can't find the car. Anyone remember the phony-balogny medical problem given to security?

One more is the one where George is caught urinating in the shower at the health club, because he read in medical journals that it's very bad to hold it in. Jerry responds, "Do the medical journals say anything about standing in a pool of someone else's urine?"

How about how the only way George would go to the restroom. With his shirt off. The one time he did that and walked out in the middle of a party and didn't put his shirt on cause he got caught up in looking at that picture.

You missed an episode that they showed recently where Jerry and Kramer discover that George takes his shirt off when doing number one. Later in the episode at a party at his girlfriends house, George comes out of the bathroom and forgets to put his shirt back on.

Also,

Jerry used the bathroom when he discovered that his girlfriend had a fungicide in her medicine cabinet.

Newman asked to use the bathroom in Jerry's Apt. so that he could get a sample of Jerry's hair.

Jerry asked to use the bathroom so that he and George could switch the tape in his girlfriend's answering machine.

How about at the end of the first part of The Boyfriend, when George is in the Bathroom, the phone rings and Kramer answers it. George comes running out with his pants around his ankles shouting "Vandelay Industries"

And who can forget Kramer passing his kidney stone in the bathroom at Madison Square Garden during the circus?

It was Jerry first, then George who were sprung urinating after being convinced to do it by Kramer. Kramer was saying things like: do you always have to follow the rules? You can damage yourself if you hold it in, you know! Urinarymiatisis?? Does that sound familiar?

What are you talking about, several episodes have dealth with the bathroom, for example , George comes running out of the bathroom with his pants around his ankles screaming "vandelay! say Vandelay!!" at Kramer, George reveals that he needs to take off his shirt when he goes to the bathroom, later becomes so mesmerised by a 3D painting at the home of his girlfriend's parents that he absentmindedly forgets to put his shirt back on when he gets out, much to their consternation(This is after he had been caught redhanded retrieving a half-eaten eclair from the garbage, and managed to convince them that he comes from a well bred family nevertheless)

Additionally, there was the episode that dealt with Kramer's constipation and subsequent enema, as well as his kidney stone that he passed in the Madison Square Garden mensroom (his screaming in pain causes a tight-rope walker at the Ringling Bros. Circus to lose balance) Let's not forget Jerry and George relieving themselves at the indoor parking of the mall when they couldn't find a car, or Elaine being stuck in the stall without any toilet paper and pleading with the woman who couldn't "spare a square".
