the one at the car dealership where george thinks the mechanic stole his twix. the way george's frustration slowly builds until by the end he's virtually a frothing lunatic is perfectly timed and acted.

Watching the one where Elaine gets bitten by a dog and she attacks Kramer, calling him a "Stupid hipster doofus"!
Kramer turns to George, who is eating pretzels, and asks "May I have one of those, madam" cos he's wearing ladies glasses.

haha that's the one where george turns up wearing swimming goggles, and Jerry says something like "so you're tunneling to the centre of the Earth?"

the whole pinky toe story is one of my favorites. especially the cracker jack/prize exchange.
Kramer: Yeah, and after the ambulance left I found the toe. So I put it in a Cracker Jack box, filled it with ice and took off for the hospital.George: You ran!?Kramer: No I jumped on the bus. I told the driver "I got a toe here buddy, step on it!"George: Holy cow!Kramer: Yeah, yeah, then all of a sudden, this guy pulls out a gun. Well, I knew any delay is gonna cost her her pinky toe, so I got out of the seat and I started walking towards him. He says, "Where do you think you're going, Cracker Jack?" I said, "Well, I got a little prize for ya, buddy - " <Kramer throws two quick punches and a massive uppercut> - knocked him out cold!

I had an idea for a thread inspired by the Dirty Lyrics/Double Entendres you didn't get as a kid, but understand as an adult thread but I'll just put it here:
Seinfeld lines/references that you didn't get as a kid but now understand. I watched the show from a young age and there are often some pretty highbrow/obscure references, but most of the ones I didn't get aren't so highbrow, but rather outdated/NY-based/Jewish stuff that was unknown to me growing up in Northern CA. Por ejemplo:The "hair in my farina" traumatic experience that Jerry remembers freaking out about when they're waiting for the babka (Still not sure exactly what a babka is). I remember thinking it was maybe some dirty reference I didn't get, but Farina is like a Cream of Wheat-type breakfast cereal.I also remember not knowing WTF they were talking about in the Frogger episode-I missed the beginning and I was like "What's a fraga??"

funny one where George and Jerry are discussing the term 'Manslaughter' and how it sounds too vicious for it's definition. They try and come up with alternative names and Jerry's was "I can't believe it's not murder"

So, who's having sex with the hen?GEORGE: Why don't we talk about it another time.FRANK: But you see my point here? You only hear of a hen, a rooster and a chicken. Something's missing!MRS.

I just wrote this on the 'king of research' thread:
Hey here's the final question.
In the film 'City Slickers', there's a guy who looks like Newman (from Seinfeld)
What's the episode where he's in Seinfeld and light is made of his resemblance to Newman?

nah, watched that recently also. Perhaps it never occurred? Is there any episode with a Newman lookalike?

― Great Scott! It's Molecular Man. (Ste), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 13:22 (fourteen years ago) link
what's the guys name in city slicker anyway ?
also, there's the Bottle Deposit episode where Newman finds himself at the farm house. When he leaves the woman shouts out "i love you Norman"
wasn't there an animal called Norman in City Slickers
Yeah I know, reeeeach.

Just the way Robert Wagner says "Hey Kramer" when he passes him at Mickey's wedding (the anti-dentite episode). I have no idea why. If the laugh track's legitimate, it seems to have cracked up the audience, too.
