Favorite lines from Seinfeld?

Jerry: Ah, you're crazy.
Cosmo Kramer: Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
Jerry: It's impossible.
Cosmo Kramer: Is it? Or is it so possible that your head is spinning like a top?
Jerry: It can't be.
Cosmo Kramer: Can't it? Or is your entire world just crashing down all around you?
Jerry: All right, that's enough.

That Philip Baker Hall speech was the high point of the entire SERIES, practically. (Along with Elaine's frenzied attempt to pack a suitcase and get to the airport in 20 minutes.)

George Costanza: Someday, before I die, mark my words... I'm gonna tell that woman exactly what I think of her. I'll never be able to forgive myself until I do.
Jerry: And if you do?
George Costanza: Well, I still won't be able to forgive myself, but at least it won't be about this

Cosmo Kramer: You're wasting your life.
George Costanza: I am not. What you call wasting, I call living. I'm living my life.
Cosmo Kramer: OK, like what? No, tell me. Do you have a job?
George Costanza: No.
Cosmo Kramer: You got money?
George Costanza: No.
Cosmo Kramer: Do you have a woman?
George Costanza: No.
Cosmo Kramer: Do you have any prospects?
George Costanza: No.
Cosmo Kramer: You got anything on the horizon?
George Costanza: Uh, no.
Cosmo Kramer: Do you have any action at all?
George Costanza: No.
Cosmo Kramer: Do you have any conceivable reason for even getting up in the morning?
George Costanza: I like to get the Daily News.

George Costanza: So I'm the bad boy. I've never been the bad boy before.
Jerry: Why not? You've been the bad employee, the bad son, the bad friend...
George Costanza: Yes, yes, yes...
Jerry: The bad fiancé, the bad dinner guest, the bad credit risk...
George Costanza: OK, the point is made.
Jerry: The bad date, the bad sport, the bad citizen...
[George leaves]
Jerry: The bad tipper.

George Costanza: A beautiful, successful, intelligent woman is in love with me and I throw it all away. Now I will spend the rest of my life living alone. I'll sit in my disgusting little apartment, watching basketball games, eating Chinese takeout, walking around with no underwear because I'm too lazy to do the laundry.
Jerry: You walk around with no underwear.
George Costanza: Yeah, what do you do when you run out of laundry?
Jerry: I do a wash.

haha yes that was a goodun

You and your good-time buddies

I just love that part of the library cop speech, but the whole things dynamite especially with Baker-Halls hand motions.

George: I'm sorry. I can't live knowing Ted Danson makes that much more than me. Who is he?

Jerry: He's somebody.

George: What about me?

Jerry: You're nobody.

George: Why him? Why not me?

Jerry: He's good, you're not.

George: I'm better than him.

Jerry: You're worse, much much worse.

That first episode (The Engagement) on season 7 is amazing, Jerry's seething reaction to his girlfriend eating peas one at a time is classic.

George dumping his girlfriend because she beat him at chess.

Georges mother on the telephone to george after he's told her about the engagement,

Estelle: Oh, I can't believe it. Frank Come here!
Frank: You come here

i just noticed in the Wizard episode. When Kramer runs for president at the Florida retirement place a selection of 'spinning' newspaper headlines come up on screen.
If you look in the bottom corner of each newspaper you can see:

"Larry David get hole in one!"
"Larry David hurts elbow"
"Larry David never to play golf again"

aww larry <3

My favourite George moment, when he claims that he could never have sex with a virgin because "it's their first time - they'll remember the first time! I don't want to be remembered. I want to be forgotten!"

heard an absolute belter from George last night

Jerry: "So, maybe they had Chinese food?"
George: "After dark? Please. At their age, that's like swallowing stun
grenades."

STELLA! STELLA!

Same episode: "You got a lotta nerve takin' that kid's pen!"

JERRY: Oh hey, there's Ramon. Pretend we're talking.

KRAMER: We are talking.

JERRY: Pretend it's interesting.

KRAMER: So, ah then, I ah had to kill him and ah, well the police are
still looking for me.

"all laid out like your mothers panties"
been chuckling over this all week

― geoff

I know I'm late to the game on this one but was watching this episode again today and the line is "the panties your mother laid out for you".

and is hilarious.

You'd think a guy as focused on social rules as Jerry would recognize that "don't introduce people's mothers into dirty talk" is definitely one of them.

And that's without even starting on the infantilizing/pedophilic aspect

John Cheever's letter in that episode is funny too:

"Dear Henry, last night with you was bliss. I fear my orgasm has left me a cripple. I don't know how I shall ever get back to work. I love you madly, John. PS. Love the cabin."

oh and the comparison of the cabin with Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

Jerry: Because I killed first and warmed up the crowd. He's like that fish
that attaches himself to the shark.

George: And you're the shark?

Jerry: Yeah, I'm the shark and he's the fish eating my laughs.

George: I don't know how a fish could eat laughs.

Jerry: Well, I'm glad I brought it up.

George: I want you to have this job. Of course...

Jerry: Yeah?

George: That's it.

Jerry: What do you mean that's it?

George: He never finished the sentence. He got a call, that was the end of the interview.

Jerry: "Of course" was the last thing he said?

George: Maybe he was going to say "Of course I have to check with my associates."

Elaine: "I want you to have this job, of course the Board of Directors is under indictment and will be

serving time."

Jerry: "I want you to have this job, of course sodomy is a prerequisite."

what's the deal with what's the deal with

i love how the "seinfeld isn't funny" jibes on this thread are unfunnier than anything that was ever on seinfeld, viz a viz:

I keep reading this thread title as "Favorite lies from Seinfeld?" and then the tiny devil perched on my left shoulder sez "That he's funny?"

Then I think "Great. That's highly entertaining brain, thanks. You can stop now." lather, rinse, repeat.

George, at Monk's with Jerry: "When are they gonna learn that any news about
China is an instant page-turner?"

"you know why dogs don't have money? no pockets"

on a sidenote...

wale recently released his 'mixtape about nothing,' a hip-hop mixtape with a seinfeld theme. and a cameo from julia louis-dreyfus! it's a free download here: <http://10deep.com/WALEMIXTAPE/>;. and also pretty damn good.

argh.

I had it. I was there.. and then.. I hit the Van Wyck.

ahaha classic episode, elaine rampaging through her bedroom is so great

George, in his apartment with Maura: "And so, for all these reasons, we are officially broken up. Thank you, and good night."

Maura: "No, George, we're not."

George: "But I proved it!"

Maura: "I refuse to give up on this relationship. It's like launching
missiles from a submarine. Both of use have to turn our keys."

George: "Well, then, I am gonna have to ask you to turn your key."

Maura: "I'm sorry, George, I can't do that."

George: "Turn your key, Maura. Turn your key!"

---------------

Maura, coming in George's apartment: "Hey, Honey."

George: "What? M-Maura, what are you doin' here? I ended this relationship,
twice."

Maura: "George, you didn't mean that. That was just a fight."

George: "Why does it only seem like I'm the only one working at this breakup?"

Maura: "George, I listened to your arguments, and they were rambling and flimsy. I'm not convinced. Come on, get dressed and let's get some dinner."

George: "All right."

"Whatever happened to 'my what a lovely dress you have on MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE'"

Well generally you don't need any extra incentive to murder a dry cleaner.

Imagine. Her taking credit for your big salad.

roommates and i str8 up dying @ the big salad ep atm

Caught one of my favorite episodes tonight:
"As far as I can tell, your entire enterprise is more than a solitary man with a messy apartment which may or may not contain a chicken."

Er, NOTHING more. That's what I get for Googling to get the right phrasing and just ctrl-v'ing without reading it first.

..and over there son, is Brooklyn. That's where Spike Lee lives.

"....Mulva?"

OTM.

erry: Elaine, see this T-shirts, six years I've had this T-shirts, it's my

best one, I call him...Golden Boy

Elaine: I'm on the phone here.

Jerry: Golden Boy is always the first shirt I wear out of the laundry, here

touch Golden Boy!

Elaine: No thanks. (to the phone)Yeah, Yeah I'll hold.

Jerry: But see look at the collar, see it's fraying. Golden Boy is slowly

dying. Each wash is brings him one step closer, that's what makes

the T-shirts such a tragic figure.

Elaine: Why don't you just let Golden Boy soak in the sink with some

Woolight?

Jerry: No!!! The reason he's iron man is because he goes out there and plays

every game. Wash!!! Spin!!! Rinse!!! Spin!!! You take that away

from him, you break his spirit!

lol "this t-shirts".

you get the gist.

the entire series, pretty much

I need to start renting Curb Your Enthusiasm DVD sets pronto
