Fans quote and discuss the best lines from The Hamptons, particularly the shrinkage joke and celebrity name mispronunciations like Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Yo-Yo Ma.

"Boutros, Boutros, Ghali!"

I think the UN guy's name is Boutrous Boutrous-Ghali (spelling may be wrong, but the first Boutrous is the first name, and the second one is part of the last name). But what Kramer said on the show was "Boutrous Boutrous-GOLLY!"

You are correct in your treatment of "Boutrous Boutros-GOLLY!" but I have to let you know that it was Jerry's line, not Mr. Kramer's. I believe that Mr. Kramer had the unforgetable interjection, "Yo-yo MA!"

Hey, lighten up guys! I put the commas in to convey the pace of his delivery. What is the difference in pronunciation between Ghali and Golly? Don't know how Mr. B.-G. sez it himself, but when I hear it on the radio, Ghali always sounds like Golly.
Concerning the correction-upon-correction, yes it _was_ Jerry's line, not Kramer's (by golly!).

This is no way the best line! The better than this one was "Yo-Yo-Ma", had a better previous show reference. But of course, that was no way the best line either. Of course, I don't think there is only ONE best line, if so, then my sein.quote.db would only have 75 quotes in it, and I got about 30 good lines just from "The Boyfriend" episode.
The line that had me laughing the whole show was when Jerry explains his "I am even" theory to Kramer and he goes "Say! You're Even Steven!"
