I agree it was hilarous! Not the best five minutes ever, but maybe the best five minutes out of the eighth season!
The best five minutes was when George was in the coffee shop talking to the doll that looked like his mother. Hmm.. or maybe the best 5 was when George and Jerry met Elaine's dad...
Tough choice this...

the best 5 minutes ever (IMO) are when Kramer is modeling briefs in calvin kleins office

Hands down, the funniest 30 seconds ever on seinfeld is the scene where george and susan are in bed watching "Mad about you."

Yes, that was good. Also good was the long silent stare given by Jerry when his "Chinese" girlfriend said "ridicurous".

For me there are a LOT of best five min but one of mine would have to be when Kramer had on the technicolor dream coat and had that cane and hat on and was arrested for being a pimp.
"Turn to the right pimp daddy!"-cop "I'm NOT a pimp"-Kramer

One of my fav moments!!! Even the music they used while K was walking along the sidewalk was great!!!
What about Jerry's spoof of "JFK-the movie"... trying to explain to Kramer and Newman what really happened during Keith Hernandez's "spitting" incident?
Furthermore, I guess I'm the only fan who enjoyed the scene when Jerry and Elaine went a rental car agency to pick a car and the agent couldn't find his reservation. Was I the only one in the whole Seinfeld universe who laughed that night? LOL
Agreed. The writing was extremely sharp in that scene.
his
laughed
That is one of the best Seinfeld scenes ever.
I'm glad you concur. Now that I think of it, that was one of the two greatest moments in the show's history for me. The other one, IMO, was the scene where Kramer is recounting his wild ride in a city bus trying to save the toe of Elaine's annoying coworker, brought to a raucous conclusion by these lines:
Jerry - "You kept making all the stops?" Kramer - "Well, people kept ringing the bell!"

You must be kidding. That scene floors me every time!

That episode was great. "You know how to take a reservation. You just don't know how to HOLD a reservation."

The funniest moment in recent memory is the time Elaine was at an office gathering and began that HORRIBLE dance.
I laughed till I cried.

1. George running out of Jerry's bathroom screaming, "Say
Vandelay, Say Vandelay!" because Kramer is on the phone with
the unemployment agency.
Jerry enters his apartment as George lies face down on the
carpet, and tells
George, "So you want to be my Latex Salesman".2. Elaine telling Jerry that she faked them all. "Fake... fake... fake... fake!"
- Anytime Kramer enters Jerry's Apartment.
4. The look on Jerry's, Elaine's, Kramer's and George's face after
finding out Susan
had died.- The "close talker" episode, especially Kramer's reaction.
- The "Magic Lugee"
- George's answering machine
I had better end it here, even though I could probably list a hundred :-)
Any thoughts?

I loved that bit! I got a buddy named Dave Lee (not Chinese) and since that episode aired, he's known as Dave "You know, you're not Chinese." Lee.
Where was I? Right, the best 30 seconds. Remember when Kramer had been taking dog medicine for his cough? The 'lassie' takeoff, when he ran to get the police, was fabulous!
I think the best 30 seconds are when George takes the grandmother's eclair back out of the garbage can and eats it.
I will never forget it. I was at a hotel, doing a multiday meeting. Perhaps it was the day's tedium, but when he grabbed that thing, I started laughing so hard I fell of the dang bed. The whole ep had me rolling on the floor, I thought I was gonna pass out.
The next morning I discovered that the rest of my 'group' were Seinfeld fans when one guy brought a mable bar back to the table. Everyone looked at him, at the bar, and we all just cracked up. We caused quite a disruption, and you could see some of the others (top exec types) trying to hold themselves together around the room. We were just low exec types, we could laugh and get away with it..
It was a funny scene. The funniest to me was when Newman and Kramer were lying in a court of law just to get out of a parking ticket. Kramer couldn't remember what he was supposed to say and Newmen went nuts - "Remember the banking? The banking?!?! Remember?!"

I may not have gotten it verbatim, but I just about rolled off the couch laughing
also...Jane Leaves (the Virgin) watching the pilot with JFK Jr... very funny..."Wicked People...Wicked, Wicked People!"

Yes, well, you're reminding me of this scene, at two in the morning, my sick (head cold) wife in the next room, had me gagging myself to avoid waking her.
Thank you.

the best five minutes was when george, the marine biologist, was recounting the golfballectomy he performed on a poor, hapless whale.

My favorite has to be "The Pilot" when George and Jerry are in the diner. Jerry goes into the whole "you know you're crazy? You need help. Not some $80 a week job ohhh no you need a team of psychiatrits working on you around the clock,studying you ....etc" "Artistic ingerity!? you are not artistic and have no integrity" Kills me just thinking about it!!

Elaines dad. No question. "we had a funny guy. Tailgunner. They blew his brains out over the Pacific. There's nothin' funny about that."
I disagree, the funniest 5 minutes were in "The Library". The scene with Det. Bookman and Jerry in his apartment. The best dialogue ever on Seinfeld. Read it yourself. Dialogue originally posted by Andy MacAskill.
Starts with Jerry opening the door for Bookman:
JERRY: Oh, I'm glad you're here, so we can get this all straightened out. Wouldyou like a cup of tea?
BOOKMAN: You got any coffee?
JERRY: Coffee?
BOOKMAN: Yeah. Coffee.
JERRY: No, I don't drink coffee.
BOOKMAN: Yeah, you don't drink coffee? How about instant coffee?
JERRY: No, I don't have--
BOOKMAN: You don't have any instant coffee?
JERRY: Well, I don't normally--
BOOKMAN: Who doesn't have instant coffee?
JERRY: I don't.
BOOKMAN: You buy a jar of Folger's Crystals, you put it in the cupboard, youforget about it. Then later on when you need it, it's there. It lasts forever. It's freeze-dried. Freeze-dried Crystals.
JERRY: Really? I'll have to remember that.
BOOKMAN: You took this book out in 1971.
JERRY: Yes, and I returned it in 1971.
BOOKMAN: Yeah, '71. That was my first year on the job. Bad year for libraries.Bad year for America. Hippies burning library cards, Abby Hoffman telling everybody to steal books. I don't judge a man by the length of his hair or the kind of music he listens to. Rock was never my bag. But you put on a pair of shoes when you walk into the New York Public Library, fella.
JERRY: Look, Mr. Bookman. I--I returned that book. I remember it very specifically.
BOOKMAN: You're a comedian, you make people laugh.
JERRY: I try.
BOOKMAN: You think this is all a big joke, don't you?
JERRY: No, I don't.
BOOKMAN: I saw you on T.V. once; I remembered your name--from my list. I looked it up. Sure enough, it checked out. You think because you're a celebrity that somehow the law doesn't apply to you, that you're above the law?
JERRY: Certainly not.
BOOKMAN: Well, 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. What'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 you, Joy-Boy: Party time is over. You got seven days, Seinfeld. That is one week!
.
Yeah, that was good.
But I'll throw in my vote, and my 2�, as I've probably done already, for the first "Bookman scene," the one with our favorite library investigator in Jerry's apartment.
If y'all continue to be nice, flamewars kept to a minimum, maybe I'll repost the complete dialogue of that scene (maybe all three "Bookman scenes") for the holidays.
There was also that great, absolutely brilliant scene between Jerry and George in the hallway, Jerry attempting to cajole George into taking out his garbage, the two ultimately leaving it outside Kramer's door, knocking thereon and disappearing back into Jerry's apartment. (Anyone know in which episode this scene was? Thanks in advance for an answer by post or e-mail.)
That was a really good scene.
My favorite 5 minutes was where Jerry and Elaine are negotiating having sex but still staying just friends. "It would be stupid not to!!"
