I think it's pretty much agreed that the pause Kramer took (ok, MR) at the end of The Marine Biologist was the longest one on the show, but what others were noticeably long where the actors had to wait a while to continue. Just thinking about this question the last few days while watching some episodes I've thought of Jerry's explanation of the magic loogie in The Boyfriend I and Kramer explaining his saving Toby's pinky toe in The Fire, after Jerry's question "You kept making all the stops?" I've also forgotten a few that I noticed, oops. What others were very noticeable for the long pause of audience laughter?

How about George, spead-eagle on Jerry's apartment floor with his pants around his ankles?

Jerry: "And you wanna be my latex salesman."

Or when jerry is in the coffesional both with the priest and he start talking about Rachel Welch, there is a huge pause for laugher.

There are two long pauses in "The Soup" when Jerry and Bania are having their "meal" at Mendy's. In both cases, Jerry brilliantly coaxes audience reaction with his mannerisms, and the laughter continues for several seconds.

The first pause occurs after Bania says, "I'll just have the soup. Yeah, I'll save my meal for later."

The second one happens moments later after Jerry declares, "The soup counts!"

IIRC, both of these are almost but not quite as long as the famous "Titleist" pause (which would have lasted even longer had Richards not prematurely intervened).
