Fans share their favorite memorable moments and comedy scenes from various Seinfeld episodes, with particular praise for Kramer's physical comedy and absurd situations.
OK...so since no one has posted recently let's start a topic everyone can relate to. List here your favorite moments from any episode in any season. Those episodes that force you to drop what you're doing when they air. Those episodes that command your attention and draw your laughter even after the 7,000,000th viewing. Personally, I have always loved the pinky toe skit. To me, that's Kramer at his finest. Others?

When Jerry starts acting like Kramer after spending the night in Kramer's appartment because of the Kenny Roger's Roaster neon lights. "Oh, I'm stressed" just cracks me up.
Also, Kramer's "They kept ringing the bell." was PRICELESS!

There's so many to choose from, but the one where George was faking that he was looking for a job and he tells Jerry that he's supposed to be his latex salesman...
[George runs in]
GEORGE: [Frantically] Did anybody call here asking for Vandaley industries? JERRY: No. What happened to you? GEORGE: Now, listen closely. I was at the unemployment office and I told them that I was very close to getting a job with Vandaley Industries and I gave them your phone number. So, when now when the phone rings you've got to answer "Vandaley Industries". JERRY: I'm Vanadaley Industries? GEORGE: Right. JERRY: And what is that? GEORGE: You're in latex. JERRY: Latex? And what do I do with latex? GEORGE: You manufacture it. ELAINE: Here in this little apartment? JERRY: And what do I say about you? GEORGE: You're considering hiring me for your latex salesman. JERRY: I'm going to hire you as my latex salesman? GEORGE: Right. JERRY: I don't think so. Why would I do that? GEORGE: Because I asked you to. JERRY: If you think I'm looking for someone to just sit at a desk pushing papers around, you can forget it. I have enough headaches just trying to manufacture the stuff.
It's the way that Jerry says "I don't think so" that kills me!
And then there's this conversation:
Jerry: So were going to make the Post Office pay for my new stereo? Kramer: It's just a write off for them. Jerry: How is it a write off? Kramer: They just write it off. Jerry: Write it off what? Kramer: Jerry all these big companies they write off everything Jerry: You don't even know what a write off is. Kramer: Do you? Jerry: No. I don't. Kramer: But they do and they are the ones writing it off. Jerry: I wish I just had the last twenty seconds of my life back.

That, plus the bit at the end when Kramer answers the phone (not knowing the "Vandelay Industries" deal), then George runs out of the bathroom with his pants down yelling "VANDELAY! SAY VANDELAY!" before falling down.

And then Jerry walks in, "And you want to be my latex salesman."

I love this scene in "The Switch", where Jerry tells George that Sandy is into the menage, but Jerry can't go through with it...
GEORGE: Hey, what happened with Sandy. I forgot all about it.
Did you call her?
JERRY: Yeah, I did. In fact I went over there.
GEORGE: So what happened? She throw you out? Eh?
JERRY: No actually, she took it pretty well.
GEORGE: So what happened?
JERRY: She's into it.
GEORGE: Into what?
JERRY: The manage. And not only that. She just called me and said
she talked to the roommate and the roomate's into the manage too.
GEORGE: That's unbelievable.
JERRY: Oh, it's a scene man.
GEORGE: Do you ever just get down on your knees and thank god that
you know me and have access to my dementia?
JERRY: What are you talking about? I'm not goin' to do it.
GEORGE: You're not goin to do it? What do you mean, You're not goin
to do it?
JERRY: I can't. I'm not an orgy guy.
GEORGE: Are you crazy? This is like discovering Plutonium ... by accident.
JERRY: Don't you know what it means to become an orgy guy? It changes
everything. I'd have to dress different. I'd have to act different. I'd have to
grow a mustache and get all kinds of robes and lotions and I'd need a new
bedspread and new curtains I'd have to get thick carpeting and weirdo lighting.
I'd have to get new friends. I'd have to get orgy friends.
... Naw, I'm not ready for it.
GEORGE: If only something like that could happen to me.
JERRY: Oh, shut up you couldn't do it either.
GEORGE: I know.
So many great moments. How about George and Jerry with Elaine's father?
"We'll tell him we're frightened and we have to go home!!!!"
Buggzy
FROM The Switch..
GEORGE: Do you ever just get down on your knees and thank god that you know me and have access to my dementia?
This is certainly one of the interesting quotes from George, as well as the whole relationship George speech when his GF and Elaine started bonding...
Some of the most hilarious routines IMHO, however; came from the supporting players... most notably... Bookman the Librarian, Tor Eckman the healer, and who can forget the outrageous mannerisms and astoundig delivery of the actor who played the Moil??? Like wise, many of the women who played Jerry's GF's were hilarious in their relations with him. From the tractor girl, to the VOICE, to the waitress who cast him off after seeing his act, to the gal he nearly married who ate Cheerio's twice a day too.
One of the most funny episodes too, was where Jerry finds out that he is dating Neuman's old GF.
Kramer relating the Bus driving incident is perhaps his best, yet the routine with the Chimp was golden not only in its original, but must have haunted poor Michael Richards in the parody of his racist rants at the Comedy Club in LA.
Some of Elaine's best stuff was with Puddy, or with Jerry in the THIS would be NICE... but THAT would be nice routine too, as they were working out the arrangements of their casual sex. The guy who worked for Karl Farbman provided a nice touch too, as did Georges boss in that episode, the Japanese, the Carpet Cleaners... and on and on... Jerry cutting the japanese men out of the Farbman chest of drawers... Never ending LMAO humour.
But seriously... we could go on forever, right? It was really that good, IMHO. It is 10:15 in LA right now, and the first of 2 episodes is playing right now, where Elaine gets kicked out of the Yankee's game for wearing a what, and Orioles Cap?
I used to feel that I always had to SET UP my references to Seinfeld quotes from the show... in casual conversations with friends and associates, but since it has been OFF TV for at least what, a decade now? Almost? I am using lines from the show, and from the Simpson's and Married With Children without attribution and no one seems to mind. Go figure?

I don't understand the carry-over from the routine with Barry(?), the chimpanzee to the incident at the Comedy Club. What might that be? (Did any one spit water in the K man's face after he apologized?)
