Not including the outtakes.

OK I'll start:

Monk's scene: Jerry says with a mouthful of food: "...then we'll go watch them slice this fat bastard up"

After Kramer's smoking binge, Jerry says something like "What's wrong with your face ? It looks like a pitcher's mitt". Kramer - " Look away ....... I'm hideous.".

LOL!

Yep, great line. And I've heard that the reason it nearly caused them to laugh was because it was improvised.

Also, the lines Jerry was telling George about "get back in there soldier" Jerry IS losing it and even Jason looks like he is getting ready to lose it.

Jerry almost loses it when Bookman lays down the law to him in his apartment. Brilliant scene!

The time when Jerry is dating the woman with the very impressive toycollection: She seem to burst out laughing when Jerry say something like: "Do you have any booze, let's get really, really drunk!"... She seem to control herself and instead replies: "I have a headache, just get me an asprin"....

Don't know if I remember this correctly....

Doesn't Jerry say, "What do you say? You and me get ripped?"?

In the Andrea Doria when Newman takes the postman hat of Jerry's head, then rips the badge off his coat, watch Jerry trying to hold in the laughter.

When Newman is spewing a rant towards Jerry that goes something like this:"...when you control the mail, you control...information!!!", Jerry's back is too the camera, but you can see his whole body shaking with laughter.

Another one is at the very end of the Parking garage when the car doesnt start. That wasnt writen into the script, and at 4am in the morning when it was shot the non-starting car proves to be very funny for Jason and Julia who are in the back convulsing. You can see Jason turning his head away from the camera to avoid being seen.

Elaine actually starts laughing at the end of "The Pony Remark" (the final scene at the coffee shop, right at the end freeze-frame, after Jerry says, "Who figures an immigrant's gonna have a pony.")

Tonight's episode had what looked like an improvised line and a "lose it" moment. At the end of The Pony Remark episode, Jerry says "Who figures an immigrant's gonna have a pony"; Louis-Dreyfuss then nearly loses it, almost choking on her coffee.

The Gum: Look very closely at Julia Louis Dreyfus as we see her through Jerry's exaggerated glasses. She is literally sputtering up laughter and her abdominals spasm with the force of it as a huge grin splits her face.

The Boyfriend: Listen to Jerry's voice as he informs a frantic George (Jason Alexander) that he's just missed Keith Hernandez. "You just missed him! He just left!" Jerry is making an huge effort to control his laughter and his voice breaks as he shouts the line.

What I'd like to know is how all of them held it together during The Beard. When Elaine (Julia Louis Dreyfus) tosses George's (Jason Alexander) toupee out the window in an exhasperated fury, it makes for one of the best moments of sitcom hilarity of all time. God I miss that show.

The final scene of "The Note" when the four spot Joe Dimaggio dunking donuts and Kramer tries to break his concentration. His yells and bangs on the table startle Jerry and Elaine and she just about buries her face in Jerry's shoulder in laughing.

In "The Pen" when Elaine does the "STELLLLAAAAA!" routine. Check out Morty and Helen trying not to lose it!
