on a limo only to find out that they are thought to be part of a neo-nazi group. Another episode that I would consider for BEST is "The

Hamptons", where the whole gang goes to stay with some weird friends. Please post your comments! Justin Tribble [email]

In my opinion, the BEST episode is the one where Kramer is arrested for being the "smog strangler". The interrogation scene is a classic! Coming in a close second for me is the Bubble Boy show!

With out a doubt the Soup Nazi Episode was the best! (Although all of them are good.)

Just started reading this ng today, so forgive me if this has alrady been mentiond five or six hundred times; my two favorites were the masturbation episode and the orgasm episode-and if I remember correctly, they never used the word in either episode. David

"The Limo" is certainly in my Top 3! It's one of those PERFECT Seinfelds (like "The Contest" and "The Bubble Boy") where there is not ONE WORD WASTED! Everything is hilarious and on-target, from the opneing scene of George asking a man for the time (and getting the answer, "There's a clock over there!") to the final scene with George screaming "I'm NOT O'Brien!"

The subtlety of the humor is astounding:

* In the limo, when George says he can't run because he hurt his hamstring trying to kick out the covers in his hotel bed and Jerry riffs on the concept of having to keep your feet sideways because the chambermaids make the bedcovers so tight (reflecting their attraction to serving women and forshadowing George's encounter with Lupe in Los Angeles).

* George pulling rank on "Tim," the neo-Nazi by asking him, "Tim, boy, who is the head of the Aryan Union, you or me?" "You are, sir." "And who's responsible for making hate-mongering and fascism popular again?" "You are, sir." (With Jerry smiling and gesturing to George on each "You are, sir.").

* Jerry pretending to be Murphy and reminiscing about his heritage: "My family came over when I was 18. Cereal famine. Couldn't get a bowl anywhere." And, "The lush, rolling hills. And the peat...ah, the peat!" And when Tim challenges him, "Sounds more like Scottish" and Jerry replying, "Well, we were on the border." (Of ISLANDS?--too funny!)

* Kramer dissecting the conspiracy theory that places Jerry and George at the scene of the Kennedy assasination, and his magnificent Jordan-like spin move into the garbage pails.

I could go on and on!
