Your FAVORITE moments from Seinfeld

Seinfeld is 'sophisticated' :laugh:

IIRC you yanks are entirely confused & frightened by British comedy like Monty Python, Blackadder, and more recent things like Coupling and Black Books which we love...

Ironically, Ricky Gervais cites Seinfeld as one of his primary influences.

"Unfortunately, I didn't have a partner. I got gonorrhea from a tractor."

"You got gonorrhea from a tractor?? And you call *that* your tractor story??"

A couple weeks ago, I saw a friend I hadn't seen in a while. He asked me if I was still seeing the girl that I was with the last time we hung out, and I told him I broke it off with her. He asked me why and I replied without missing a beat "She had man hands". I had the whole room cracking up.

:laugh:

LOL, they call my best friend's GF "Man Hands" at work. She doesn't take to kindly to the name 😀

btw, the gonorrhea girlfriend was one of the hotter Seinfeld gf's 😀

That's just one more respect in which I find your tastes rather hard to relate to. I don't know that there has ever been a more universally-beloved show than The Office. That show is just brilliant IMO (and in the opinion of essentially every critic on earth). I'm really at a loss to understand how anyone with a sense of humor could fail to appreciate The Office.

Me either. If I had to choose a favorite moment, it would be when they got thrown in jail in the final episode...HOORAY! No more Seinfeld!

"Hey everybody, look at me! I'm taking an extremely popular American phenomenon and declaring an opposite opinion on it! Aren't I cool and edgy? Who knows what I'll disagree with next!

Sorry, that's all I can hear when I see people take such an extreme dislike to something like this. We all have our opinions and all, but give me a break. Why not find another thread and go on about <insert popular actress/model> is unattractive and not up to your standards, or how much <insert legendary musician/performer> really sucked?


Maybe someone will post a "Isn't Seinfeld funny, Jessica Alba attractive, and Eric Clapton a great guitarist?" thread and you guys can hit your anti-pop trifecta! Bonus points if you can find a way to bash a Mel Brooks or Monty Python film and declare Tom Hanks to be an overrated hack in the same response. :laugh:

You're in fine trolling mood tonight 😉 The gist of your post is that anyone who disagrees with the majority (which you always agree with, just to be on the safe side), has no right to express their opinion on the matter. God forbid they then explain why they don't like it :laugh:

looks like some ppl mentioned this already -

my favorite is:

"i was in the pool"

"Oh, and by the way: they're real, and they're spectacular"

I really liked the one where Elaine finds out Putty is religious via his radio presets. They have a conversation about it, and then he tries to convince Elaine to steal her neighbors newspaper because she is going to hell anyway.

Putty is a great character.

There's too many to mention, but I love when Frank Costanza goes off on his tirades

Steinbrenner: I'm sorry to break this to you, Mr. and Mrs. Costanza, but your son appears to be missing.
Frank: What the hell did you trade Jay Bruenner for? He had 32 RBI's, 20 home runs, he had a rocket for an arm, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE DOING!!!

<at the coffee shop>
Estelle: There's a breeze in this booth, can you feel it? Let's move to a table.
Frank: I didn't come all the way into the city TO SIT AT A TABLE LIKE THAT!!!

I appreciate it, but it doesn't make me rofl 😱

Then again, i did give up after two episodes into the first season when i got it out the other day, maybe i should watch a bit more?

i could just watch Seinfeld, The Office, and Arrested Development for the rest of my life and be content :thumbsup:

If you don't like Seinfeld, why would you come into a thread entitle "Your SINGLE favorite moment from Seinfeld?" I don't like sports, so I don't go into sports related threads and dump on sports. Maybe if this thread was entitle "Who likes Seinfeld and who thinks he sucks?" it would be okay. Let other people enjoy their fond memories. We don't really care who hates Seinfeld.

Putty is awesome

Priest: Often times in interfaith marriages, there is trouble between...
Elaine: Woah woah woah. Nobodies getting married here. We're just...having a good time.
Priest: Well then it's easy. You're both going to hell.
Putty: No way man, this is BOGUS!

The fourth episode of the first season is my personal favorite. It's side-splitting.

If that was really was the case, no body would have responded to me 😉

Yeah, AD is brilliant. Actually they seem to be showing it on INHD now, which is nice for those of us with an HD set.

how about when Elaine calls Putty, and they camera cuts to Putty in his apartment, just staring off into space before answering his phone :laugh:

I'll get the first season out and watch it all the way through this time then 😉

I think you're thinking of the US series, no? I was talking about the UK one - it's the episode where HQ sends out a corporate trainer to teach the office about teamwork and customer service.

*raises his hand*

Boring and trite, I've watched episodes from both the UK and US versions and even though I work in that kind of environment and can relate to some of the humor, I just couldn't find anything that funny about it. I've been toying with maybe giving it another shot after I saw it won best comedy this year, but we'll see.
