My favorite Newman scene is from the Marine Biologist episode.... When Newman is walking along and whistling, and then K-man's shoe falls on him. That expression on his face when he "hears" the sho falling is priceless.
Does anyone have any other favorite Newman scenes??

Newman laughing maniacally. then he winces suddenly, and realizes he's sitting on a fork.
When Kramer and Jerry are both 'gaga' over Pam, and they both go see Newman. 'I thought we were talking about me!'

priceless.
When I first saw that, I laughed so suddenly and hard that the milk I was drinking came out my nose. Priceless. For me it's still the funniest single moment in all of Seinfeld.
Thing is...I haven't a _clue_ why it's funny.
The first time I saw Newman questioning Kramer in court about his failure to become a banker, I was laughing so hard I started to hyper ventilate.
the
2 definitely hilarious scenes there.
Newman talking about his transfer to Hawaii cracks me up every time. Don't know why, its just funny.
Hawaii: The most sought after postal route of them all. The air is so dewey sweet you don't even have to lick the stamps.

I like when Newman is laughing in his chair in his apartment being a little evil, and finds out he is sitting on a fork! :-)

Another one of my favs is when he's riding the postal truck singing "Three times a lady" and he hits an old golf club (JFKs), "Oh the humanity!!" hee hee

I don't think that's the same ep. One ep he is driving the mail truck and dragging and old sewing machine (while singing Once, Twice...) and then catches on fire from the sparks from the sewing machine and Kramer's spilled solvent. The one with JFK's golf clubs was where the mechanic (Tony?) steals Jerry's car and starts throwing the golf clubs at the mail truck (which was carrying bottles to Michigan).

The same episode where Jerry and Newman reach an agreement that Jerry will help Newman deliver the mail so Newman will get the transfer and move out of the building:
Newman - "Deal?" Jerry - "Deal."
(they both shake hands and laugh a sinister laugh. Jerry stops laughing suddendly.)
Jerry - "Now get the hell out."
Classic.

And Newman is very popular because you can hate him and still love him. It's kinda unusual that you can respect each character that he plays not thinking: "Newman!!!" - I watch 3rd Rock From The Sun and, to me, he's Don. In JFK, in a bunch of other characters... maybe it's because he's good!

And the way he describes Nicole Kidman's character as "Gang Busters" in To Die For. Much more subdued than the Newman character but it's very authentic.

Check him out in "Rat Race" (just out on DVD & tape)....a very funny (all right...silly) movie.

Saw it, but hardly laughed, and the resolution of the race was a complete cop out.

hey, c'mon man ... i haven't seen it yet. i like to go in fresh!!
I agree with a couple of others that his truck catching fire when he's driving is a great scene.
I also like the scene in "the shower head", when he's plotting with Kramer and Jerry on how to get an illegal shower head and he hustles Elaine out of the apartment. I don't remember what he says to her, as he pushes her out of the room, but it was funny the way said it.

That day, Mon, 11 Feb 2002 13:57:15 GMT, that H.E. Pennypacker came into alt.tv.seinfeld and said...
Is it the one where Kramer adopts a stretch of highway? If memory serves, he makes the lanes wider on his section, and is then ordered to remove them - to do that, he gets a huge barrel of paint thinner, which he drops and Newman drives through it.
Or have I dreamt all that... :)

Right. The Arthur Berkhardt Expressway.
Only after snagging an antique Singer sewing machine on the undercarriage of his mail van, which starts to spark. The sewing machine fell out of the trunk of Jerry's Saab, which Elaine was driving to the dump, after she had posed as a janitor of an apartment building that was within "China Panda's" delivery area. She was fond of their "Supreme Flounder".
(from http://www.geocities.com/tnguym/scripts/ThePothole.html)
OWNER: China Panda.
ELAINE: Yeah, I'd like to place an order.
OWNER: Ah yes, what you like?
ELAINE: This Supreme Flounder, it says first time served in America. Is that true?
OWNER: What number?
ELAINE: Forty-seven.
OWNER: Yeah, first time. What else?
ELAINE: Uh, that's it.
OWNER: Address?
ELAINE: Seventy-eight, West Eighty-sixth Street. Apartment three E.
OWNER: That's southside. Sorry, we don't deliver below Eighty-sixth.
ELAINE: I'm not below.
OWNER: Yes you are. Street itself is boundary.
ELAINE: Your guy can't cross to my side?
OWNER: If we deliver to you, then what? Eighty-fifth Street, Wall Street, Mexico, Eighty-fourth Street?
Allright!! But hear me and hear me well!! The day will come, oh yes, mark my words, Seinfeld! Your day of reckoning is coming, when an evil wind will blow through your little playworld and wipe that smug smile off your face! And I'll be there, in all my glory, watching, watching as it all comes tumbling down!!

LOLOLOL......... another fav scene is when his mail truck runs over a sewing machine and catches fire. he walks the empty street with his clothes all torn and looks like a victim of post traumatic tress. but of course before this happens he was singing 'once twice three times a lady'.
Climbing a tree to get the ugly fur coat.. that was a great one

It has to be Newman trying to work out the bottle deposit scam with Kramer - "I need to know WHY!!"

Repeat. Screw eyes together on three. Cue flameball.
"Oh the humanity!!!"

Because the mail never stops. It just keeps coming and coming and coming, there's never a let-up. It's relentless. Every day it piles up more and more and more! And you gotta get it out but the more you get it out the more it keeps coming in. And then the bar code reader breaks and it's *Publisher's Clearing House* day!!!
NEWMAN!

Hi
I like the one where Newman and Kramer are in the shop trying to sell the old records and Kramer is dictating what Newman says from directly behind him.
"You emit a foul and unpleasant odour. I loathe you"
Best regards Jules
I am a fan of whenever he gets all worked up about mail and starts to get into that violent ramble and someone (Kramer, for example) yells out "NEWMAN!" and he stops. Kills me every time.

Well, thank you all for your feedback to my question.......
It was very enjoying to read all of your replies.... It is very evident that Newman, as much as he's hated by Jerome, is very popular amongst Sienfeld fans...

Then there is that episode where Kramer and Elaine seek Newman's decision on who is to get the bicycle which Kramer gets from Elaine in a bet, I think.
Episode ends with Newman getting the cycle from Kramer for a song.
The script was excellent where Newman explains why Kramer should get the bicycle, not Elaine. Wonder if someone's got the script.

In a former job, I used to work in an open bay computer lab writing C programs. Whenever I was stuck on a tricky problem or the program crashed, instead unleashing a string of profanities, I'd just say under my breath, "NEWMAN!" After a while, I had a bunch of other guys doing the same, it's really an effective stress reliever. (This was before the Serenity Now episode aired.)
The one where Newman interrogates Jerry about the mail fraud scam.

It's raining, so he doesnt go and he says something like "I never was big on rules" or something like that. The steinbrenner skit at the end of that episode is funny too...where he smells the calzones seeping on the room from kramers "cooked" jacket.

"I was never that big on creeds" I believe.

Newman running always amazes me. He can really move for someone his size!
