Still, he attempted to help Jerry and came up with an elaborate plan to get his current girlfriend mad at him with an out-of-the-ordinary sexual request that leaves her roommate flattered enough to go out for a drink, all with the roommates permission. You’d think finding out Kramer’s real name would be the highlight of the episode, or that Kramer’s mom hooking up with Newman might be near the top, but the best scenes from this classic refer to the episode’s name, in which Jerry tries to pull the roommate switch, which no man had ever successfully pulled, even in the Middle Ages, according to George. Three buddies, sitting around, chewing gum 8.
Well done, Geoff.īest line: Kramer: Now see, this is what the holidays are all about. They aren’t the right perscription, which causes him to accidentally buy $100 worth of Chinese gum from Lloyd Braun, who later tries to consume a hot dog that’s “a perfectly sane food to eat.” Elaine loses her “spanking” button, then gets soaked with water which leads Braun to think she wants to get back together, but, alas, the episode ends with Elaine flirting with the elderly Harharwood. Jerry loses his glasses and Kramer eventually gives him a pair from the lost and found at the theatre. Kramer becomes involved in the renovation of the Old Alex Theatre, introducing us to Geoffrey Harharwood, easily the best name on the show since Bookman, the librarian cop who caught Jerry years later for never returning Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer. Throw in schmoopie, Kramer buddying up with the Soup Nazi and explaining his side of the story and a very nice armoire and you have an episode that’s more than just Elaine getting thrown out of the shop for dilly-dallying and Jerry choosing the soup over his girlfriend.īest line: Yev Kasem (Soup Nazi): No soup for you! 9.

This isn’t meant an insult, it’s just like saying Greatest Hits Vol. The favorite Seinfeld episode of people who aren’t die-hard Seinfeld fans. The point is, every Seinfeld episode is a top 10 Seinfeld episode. Or choose 10 others and they could be on there too. I whittled them down to 10 episodes - 10 I’m happy with - but that 10 could just as easily be replaced with The Fusilli Jerry, The Voice, The Merv Griffin Show, The Dog, The Subway, The Airport, The Dealership (which one friend lobbied for so hard that he threatened to end the friendship if I didn’t include it), The Sniffing Accountant, The Mango, The Wink, The Calzone, The Abstinence, The Little Jerry, The Maid or The Reverse Peephole. I sent out an APB to friends, who all had varied suggestions that were all equally good. George liking his chicken spicy, Top Of The Muffin TO YOU and Jerry “freakin’ out” about the Kenny Roger’s Roaters rang out in my head. And after adding and deleting and adding some more, I thought I was done, then - BOOM - I thought of Kramer at Regis & Kathie Lee and Keith Hernandez or The Velvet Fog.

With the show streaming in full on Hulu starting Wednesday, I was tasked with distilling 180 episodes of the best television show ever into an essential 10. Ranking the 10 best Seinfeld episodes was the hardest thing I’ve had to do since - no, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.
