Fans celebrate the Kramer-Newman plot in The Label Maker as one of their best collaborations, with particular praise for a RISK game scene that initially hooked one viewer on the show.
In "The Label Maker", Newman and Kramer take part in their best plot together ever. I haven't laughed this hard at this duo since Newman put Kramer on the stand in court to help him get out of a speeding ticket in an episode about 5 years ago.
This IS classic Seinfeld.

It was this episode that turned me on to Seinfeld. I am a big RISK fanatic, having played some psychotic games like the one Newman and Kramer were waging (although never on a NYC subway!), when I was flipping channels on the TV many years ago, saw the scene where Newman was sneaking up to the RISK board, and heard Kramer's line about "I am taking the Congo as a penalty" for Newman's attempted cheating. I was ROTFLMHO; I could not believe they were doing an episode that had the game of RISK as a subplot. I continued watching, almost died laughing at George's attempt to get out of a relationship with the Menage A Trois idea, and have been a fan ever since.
I thought the best Kramer/Newman plot was "The Drive the Bottles to Michigan." Although the idea seems more like something George would do than Newman, George already had his own plot, and it totally worked for Kramer and Newman.
