For me, there're many.

Last night, I was watching a rerun of the episode that involved Jerry giving an interview to a female college newspaper reporter (the lovely Paula Marshall), who thought Jerry and George was a **** couple....not that there's anything wrong with that. :D OMG!! What a laugh riot!! I mean, I saw a rerun of "The Contest" episode recently and I don't remember it as being as funny. It was good, but "The Outing" episode was better IMHO.

So....do you have a favorite episode?

    I like the one where Jerry decides to have feelings. It has one of my favorite lines, when he starts crying after someone breaks up with him, and says "what... what is this salty discharge?"

    Don't know why but that tickles me.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Danny I watch Seinfeld reruns every night plus I have the DVD collection. There are so many great episodes that it's hard to choose. I think "The Conversion" where George want to become Latvian Orthodox is one, the "Frozen Yogurt" is another. The one where Geoge gets a massage is another and "I think it moved!" The "Scofflaw" where Newman is the white whale an Kramer goes around with the patch over his eye. "The Puffy Shirt" is great especially the story line where George becomes a hand model but they warn him about Ray McKidney who couldn't control himself because he was so in love with his hand that is froze into a claw and George told them, "no worry there, I won a contest!" The "Shower Head" episode.

    I could go on and on and on!

    The best line in that one was when Jerry exclaimed, "I was outed and I wasn't even in!" That gets me rolling on the floor and George in hospital with his mom in both the above episodes one with the silhouette of the girl getting sponge bath (the contest) the other is the silhouette of the guy getting the sponge bath (the outing) George's facial expressions are priceless.

    SERENITY NOW! That was a good episode.

    The Costanza Bed, another good one.

    The "Can'tstandsya" episode, another one. That was the one with the library cop as well IIRC.

    Any episode with the Soup ****.

    The Kramerica episodes, especially the one with the "oil bladder" and "hel..llllloooooooo!"

    But, by far, the best and most influential episode was "Festivus"
    Expert Moron Extraordinaire

    You're just jealous 'cause the voices don't talk to you!

    The "Bro" or "Manzeer" episode where George's mom walks in on Kramer putting the Bro on Mr. Costanza.

    The show itself has to be one of the all time great TV shows, and seems to hold up very well over time IMO.

    "I was rushing home because my friend was going to commit suicide because he couldn't be a banker!"


    How about the episode where Kramer gets kicked in the head by Crazy Joe Divola and come into Jerry's apt and only has half his pants on and half his faced shaved!!! The best part was when he looked in the mirror.

    I have to make a correction to my original post....

    I actually had my back facing the TV as the rerun of Seinfeld was happening. I saw the beginning and then I started brushing out my dog's coat. But I kept hearing the dialog and I can't stop laughing :D

    Another great episode was the one where George wanted to be Jerry's "latex salesman" for Vandelay Industries.

    My favorite line from "The Contest."

    Elaine: "I shave my legs."
    Kramer: "Not every day."

    A few of my favs:
    The Kenny Rogers chicken episode where Jerry and Kramer change personalities.

    The Little Jerry Seinfeld episode where Kramer gets the rooster.

    I believe the "Serenity Now" is also where Kramer gets the screen door from the Castanza's and creates "Anytown USA" by his front door.

    When Kramer gets the Merv Griffin set.

    Really too many to list. I'd be hard-pressed to pick one favorite episode.

    Off the top of my head:

    Kramer get the license plate "assman" and women start coming on to him, leaving their phone numbers on his car, etc.

    Or when Kramer is the best in the karate class, and everyone else is 10 years old.

    Or George gives the security guard a rocking chair, he falls asleep, and the store is robbed.

    Or Jerry mugs the old lady for her rye bread. So George can replace the one his parents took when Susan's parents didn't put it out for dinner.

    Its been several years since I've even caught the re-runs but the following stick out:

    -- Soup **** (if there was more than one, I'm thinking of the original one that featured Gespatcho soup)

    -- The one where Kramer gets a hot tub in his apartment in which he falls asleep as it stops functioning, and fakes being an automated movie options operator. After several failed attempts to address Elaine's request: "Why don't you just tell me what kind of movie you want to see?" or something like that

    -- That ending scene where Newman and Kramer are driving a runaway truck and Newman exclaims "the horror, the horror" or maybe its "oh, the humanity"....had me rolling either way.

    There was an episode in which George was infatuated with Marisa Tomei, even though he was engaged to Susan.

    Of course, in the episode where George was caught taking a peek at NBC executive Russell's daughter (Denise Richards), Jerry had the following advice for George (and really, all men)....

    "Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun, you don't stare at it. It's too risky. You get a sense of it and then you look away."

    Alot of great laughs alright. I hated to hear it was ending back then. In it's prime too..

    The one where Kramer painted the lines on the freeway to make it easier to do something.Hilarious.

    I think that episode of Kramer and Newman were recycling cans on the side for profit..Hilarios episode that was too.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Does anyone know the name of the two episodes where -
    1) George is caught by his mom "touching himself" after he picked up the vanity fair magazine
    2) Kramer is trying out boxer-shorts and says something like "I don't know if it's up, or if it's down...Jerry, my boys gotta have a home!".

    The first one is the Contest. THat's how the Contest starts! George gets caught, and they get into a debate on who could stay "master of their domain" the longest.

    The Boxer shorts one is called "The Chinese WOman" http://www.seinology.com/scripts/script-90.shtml

    ...then George gets banned from the place for taking his tip out of the tip jar because he wanted to make sure the guy saw him give a tip...then he has to get Kramer to pick up the calzones...then Kramer had them dry his pants in the oven...then Kramer gets banned for trying to pay in pennies...definitely a classic:D Loved it when Kramer turns and kicks the counter as he's leaving after being banned.
