Maybe there's more to Newman than meets the eye?

Items 2, 3 and 4 are all very close but George is definitely at the top.

I wholly agree with this list. Without George there is no show. Recurring characters, Jackie Chiles as Kramer's lawyer is a hoot. I wish I could have seen more of him.

1. George "Kramer, listen to me. I'm never going to have kids. If I lose that Frogger high score, that's it for me"

2. Frank <Right after Steinbrenner tells him George is dead> "What the HELL did you have to trade Jay Beuner for? He had a rocket for an arm...you don't know what the hell you're doing."

3. Kramer "So now Joe Pepetone is at bat and he's crowding the plate, so I send one by him, you know, a little chin music. But the next pitch he's right back there over the plate...so I had to plunk him"

4. Jack Klompus "Believe me, I've ridden in Cadillacs hundreds of times...thousands!"

5. Estelle "I come home and find my son treating his body like it was an AMUSEMENT PARK."

Can't believe no one mentioned Bookman, the library detective, and the funniest bit character ever on the show.

I can't believe no-one mentioned Charles Levin as the "nervous" mohel in "The Bris" episode. His performance there was hilarious, he stole that episode.

I will add Tor Ackman, the holistic healer from "The Heart Attack", and yes, Levin's mohel was a real cut-up (insert groan here.)

Karen Whatever happened to mohair? Lenny Briscoe

hilarious, he stole that

I love Jack Klompus (though I don't know how to spell his name. The episode where Seinfeld takes the pen from him is hilarious.

J. Pederman was funny also. And Mr. Pitt. I thought the show had some very clever writing, especially how all the plot lines seemed to converge at the end.

What about those gay guys that had it in for kramer? You know, one was cuban, one was white with glasses. Kramer was marching in some parade and didn't want to wear the ribbon; the other run in was when Elaine had kramer watch a peice of furniture for her.

I think the Bus Boy is hilarious, too.

someone mentioned Bookman as one of the bit part characters they liked. Then there was, of course, the neurotic Moyle/Moule who sliced Jerries at the Briss. The very same episode Kramer saw a "Pigman, a pigman Jerry"

It was an AIDS walk when they challenged Kramer about the ribbon, but they were also there for the Puerto Rican Day Parade when Kramer accidentally set the flag on fire (which I guess means the one guy was Puerto Rican instead of Cuban).

Oh yeah, did anybody find Papi as funny as I did? Meeting jerry in the bathroom, telling him he would personally make his dinner and went out without washing his hands. And urinating on jerry's sofa. The soup Nazi was funny.

Maybe no one mentioned Bookman because he wasn't funny.

1. George
   a. "He's beboppin' and scattin', and I'm losin' it!"
   b. "I said it once to a dog.  He licked himself and left the room."
   c. "Don't insult me, my friend. Remember who you're talking to. No one's
a bigger idiot than me."
   d. "The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to
send soup back in a deli..."
   e. "Tippy toe!  Tippy toe!"
2. Kramer
   a. "So now I'm driving the bus! ..."
   b. "I'm goin' through this stuff like water!"
   c. "When I yell 'Hoochie Momma', you turn on the water, okay?"
3. Jerry
   a. "We gotta get out of here. Come on; weave your web, liar man."
   b. "You know chicken salad is not the opposite of tuna, salmon is the
opposite of tuna, 'cos salmon swim against the current, and the tuna swim
with it."
   c. "No, you don't have any black friends. And besides us, you don't have
any white friends either."
4. Puddy
   a. "Feels like an Arby's night."
   b. "I don't care for that term."
   c. "I've got to go home and get changed before the game.  I'll be back -
we'll make out.
5. Jackie Chiles
   a. "Rugged? The man's a goblin. He's only been exposed to smoke for four
days. By the time this case gets to trial, he'll be nothing more than a
shrunken head."
   b. "Miss Wilkie, your tobacco company has turned this beautiful specimen,
into a horrible twisted freak."
   c. "This is the most public yet of my many humiliations."

Based on what you consider to be hilarious quotes, I guess it is all a matter of taste.
