Anyone else like this scene from The Subway?

The scene in tonight's syndicated episode The Subway with Elaine in the packed subway car is one of my all-time favorites. It's absolutely hilarious and I'm sure everyone has been in that situation several times, swearin' and cussin' to yourself but unable to shout it out loud. Happens to me most when I'm stuck in a line, like when the cash register runs out of paper tape and the clueless cashier takes 10 minutes to reload.

   It's funny ... this episode always gets a low grade for most critics.
 And I rarely see it listed among the best episodes (often among the
worst).  But it does have a couple of great scenes (I was blown away by
the debate between Jerry and the Naked Guy about the Mets chances;
George talking about his mother being uglier than Shirley Booth).<
   But what I loved best was one of the ultimate Kramer lines, when he
overhears the tip on the horse and finds out His mudda (in a great Bronx
accent) was a mudder.

This is a good ep but gets trashed by critics. I liked the scene with George chained to the bed and getting robbed and the woman is upset over only getting 8 bucks. Jerry zinging the naked man about his body was good.Jerry was nailing him with one line after another.He said he was not ashamed of his body and Jerry said that was the problem; he should be.And plenty of other good lines. Elaine panicking was also good.

yeah I love that in The Subway, actually I've been doing that a lot lately on buses and trains which tend to travel at snail speed when I'm in a hurry.
