In "The Doorman," both the doorman and Jerry used the line "you think you're better than me?" We heard this line again from the Mendelbaums - I forget the episode title.

What other lines have been repeated in more than one episode?

I believe the following expressions are also used in more than one show:

1.   HELLO, NEWMAN
2.   GET OUT!!!
3.   THAT'S A SHAME"

Yeah, but those are the specific characters' tag lines. I believe that the following lines have been said more than once: "These pretzels are making me thirsty" "Master of my domain" "George is getting angry!!!"

In a couple of episodes, when George calls Jerry and asks for a favour, Jerry says "Who is this?"

There are a couple that I can think of that haven't been said yet...

    1. When george's father starts selling computers the theme of the
show was anger and emotion. A line that was said by almost everyone was
"Serenity Now!"
    2. This line was only said by Estel but it's still worth
mentioning..."You're not giving away that water pick!"

There are at least two occasions where Kramer says, "What's a matter with you? You oughta be ashamed of yourself(selves)!"

-but I'm drawing a blank on the scenes.

The line "Pendant? Those bastards!" was used by Jerry in "The Stranded" and by Elaine's father, Alton Benes, in the episode wehre George and Jerry are stuck making chit-chat with Mr. Benes (I forget the title). There are more repeated lines, I'm sure, but this one leaps to mind.

"Prognosis Negative!"

Used in both "The Dog" and "The Junior Mint."

Tonight in "The Limo" George says "Did you see the way Eva was looking at me?' And then in that episode where they pitch the sitcom to Japanese TV George says something like "Did you see the way Miss Nakamura was looking at me?"

-At least twice from Jerry "I Can't, I wont!!"

-Jerry in "The Watch" : "You know those jewellers....They're enigmas!.. They're a mystery wrapped in a riddle".. and with Elaine in "The Big Salad" about Newman : "....He's an enigma, he's a mystery wrapped in a riddle" "He's a mystery wrapped in a Twinkie..." something like that anyway.

This is a great thread! I'm really enjoying it. I don't know if I can cite the specific situations, but I believe these lines came up more than once:

       Don't you see what's happening here?
       I like THIS idea!
       (Puddy): Yeah, that's right.
        For a while early on, a lot of things were being said twice
        in immediate succession, like:
          (Jerry, upon the realization that George's pretentious ex-girlfriend
           is in a mental hospital with Jerry's important tax papers):
           This is not good.  This is not good!
           (Elaine - I can't think of what the questions were, but the
            answers were often in this form:)
            No I didn't........noooo I didn't.
      I know I'll think of more examples of the original category tonight,
      and I'll definitely pop back on to the thread tomorrow to contribute
      them.

Kramer: "Oh, Momma.."

Although not a line, there was a funny scene used in three different episodes. You know the one: twice with Jerry, once with George. Chronologically, from "The Engagement", "The Envelopes" and "The Voice". The scene had Jerry or George sitting on a bench on a dock pondering some great decision (for George, how to resolve his loneliness; for Jerry, 1) to marry Jeannie, 2) give up the Voice or continue dating girlfriend), then when they've found their answer, they run towards the camera and all these pigeons on the ground fly off in one sweep. One of the more interesting scenes of the last few seasons, I thought.

Great example Patrick. I somehow viewed these scenes as rewards to the loyal viewers.

BTW, I had heard that the writers referred to these scenes as the
"Boardwalk Epiphanies".

I believe that's correct. There's another episode, "The Opposite" where George stands on the boardwalk deep in thought, but it doesn't end with the trademark boardwalk epiphany.

Repeated several times within one episode, but I don't recall this being said in any show other than "The Alternate Side". Can anyone say for sure?

"These pretzels..." is repeated by George in The Keys, when Kramer tells him that since nearly appearing in the Woody Allen film, he's got the acting bug,

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*      Avoid cliches like the

In article ,

"The Keys"-- Kramer tells George he has the acting bug and wants to go to LA because of that Woody Allen movie he was in. George responds by saying something like "'These pretzels are making me thirsty!'? You had one line. You were fired!" It's a fairly obscure reference, but it was there

Jerry with his silly voice saying "But I don't wanna be a..." and then something different in different episodes. At least I remember:

"But I don't wanna be a pirat" "But I don't wanna be Switzerland" "But I don't wanna be a cowboy"

And maybe one or two more...
