I'm interested to know what the favorite catch phrases are from Seinfeld. My personal favorite: "No soup for you! Come back one year!" -Soup Nazi
I know there are many more out there...let's see 'em!
Get out!!! (with a shove to the chest)
What a shame... (whenever misfortune comes upon others)
The wheels are in motion...
Yo-Yo Ma! (Kramer said this one time, I forget where but he was in some kind of dilemma)
You're killing Independent George!!!
Giddy-up!

Seinfeld.

george crashes it so the
advice.
I think describing a guy as being "spongworthy" or not is a
crack-up-and it kind of says it all too, doesnt it? I'm dieing to ask
my neighbor if she would consider me spongworthy-but then again I would
like to stay on a speaking basis with her:)-now the guys need a
one-word designation!

Actually, to go along with 'shrinkage' is Elaines famous line (see my tag line.) from that very same episode.

OK. Clarification time. A catch phrase is not a line. A catch phrase is something that is said over and over again in an episode or in several episodes. For example, "Are you still MASTER OF YOUR DOMAIN?" ("Master of your domain" being the catch phrase here). Another would be, "No soup for you!" It helps if the catch phrase becomes nationally known, like these preceding two.
Years ago, when he was funny, David Letterman launched a contest to pick a new national catch phrase to replace Clara Peller's immortal "Where's the beef?" The best he could come up with was an old man saying, "I DO and DO and DO for you kids, and this is the thanks I get!" Never really caught on!
Good catch phrases are born, not made,
All that being said, here are two of my favorites:
- "Wheels are in motion" from the second Babu episode.
2) "Worlds are colliding" from the "You're killing Independent George" episode.(actually, two good catch phrases there!).

And don't forget Letterman's popular "They pelted me with rocks and bottles."
Good ones. How about:
"You're soooooooooooo good lookin!" (Jerry's proposal to replace "Bless You" as the polite thing to say when someone sneezes. We had our toddler trained to say it for a while but now he's learned to say "Bless You" :-(
"Hi Schmooopie." followed by "I'm not schmoopie, you're schmoopie."
And the oft repeated
"allllll right, sir."
Actually, it was "They pelted me with rocks and garbage," but you are correct, this was a fine catch phrase!

Sorry, Netcom accidentally posted this twice. Please, no flames!
Here's another one, so simple it's easy to overlook. Jerry's classic greeting to his "Lex Luthor":
"Helllllooooo, Newman!" (said with a snarl).
Spongeworthy....
and
Get OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

And "shrinkage"
Don't forget when they were going to the dinner when Jerry and Elaine the chocolate bobka and George (in the gortex jacket) and Kramer went some wine. George was complaining about bringing fancy foods and just to bring Pepsi and Ring Dings Kramer's reply was..."Ohh Yeah! I like I love that.
"No way wine is better than Pepsi."
I like George's "Why don't we get them a couch...?" from the same episode.

In my e-mail signature (which doesn't show up here), I have my favorite catch phrase:
"These pretzels are making me thirsty!"

Giddi up!
"poor bastard" Jerry says to himself about George getting married.
"OK, let me finish this and we'll go and watch them slice the fat bastard up." about watching a surgery.
a new favorite for me is when instead of saying "God bless you" jerry says "boy, you are good looking" or something like that. that was pretty funny.
You are *so* good looking!
Oh *ya!*
Hello Newman.
"Not that there is anything wrong with that"
And let's not forget the classic catch phrase/word, "hand," as in
"I have no hand, how do I get hand?" "Hand is hard to get. Everybody wants hand."
And, of course:
"You can't break up with me, I've got hand!" "And you're gonna need it!"
I believe I understand the meaning of the term, having "hand", but it's not a phrase that I've heard before the episode. Does it come from reality, perhaps a regional saying, or did the writers completely make it up?
Michael Redman wrote (In reference to the "Pez Dispenser" episode where George and Jerry discuss "having hand"):
Before George and Jerry start referring to it simply as "hand," George first says that he doesn't have the upper-hand in the relationship. Jerry responds that you have to have hand. I think the writers just shortened the reference from "upper-hand" to "hand" for the cleverness aspect.
How about: "You're killing independent George!!!!!"
As a side note to the "hand" discussion, remember this is the episode w/ the "preemptive breakup" and the famous line at the end by George when he gets dumped, "But I had hand", to which she replies, "And you're gonna need it."

How about: "Boy it's like a sauna in here." and "Clevage is like the sun, you can peak but you must then look away." (or something to that effect)
Get Out!!!!!(must be accompanied by a hard push to the chest)
Get Out!!!!!(must be accompanied by a hard push to the chest)
Cleavage is like the sun, you don't stare at it, you get a glimplse and look away!
There was cleavage in the area!
New one--- When george says "My little man is an idiot" Also- "Nip"
Also, "sponge worthy" - Elaine referring to a potential lover (the manufacturer of the brand of contraceptive sponge Elaine uses stops making it and she has to ration her sponges).

I don't know if it is a regional thing or not...but it refers to having the "upper" hand in a relationship.
While we're on the subject of snack foods, how about, "You double-dipped that chip!"
Elaine saying, "Get out!"
