1. NO SOUP FOR YOU (FROM “THE SOUP NAZI,” SEASON 7, EPISODE 6):
“Everyone knows about the Soup Nazi: From when they are standing in line to when they approach the counter is comedic brilliance. We all have been on the wrong side of bad customer service, but sometimes you gotta just go with it to get what you want. It’s kinda like certain stores in SoHo [New York] that have dope clothing but really dismissive employees. If you want the clothes, you gotta play by their rules.”
2. GEORGE EATS GARBAGE (FROM “THE GYMNAST,” SEASON 6, EPISODE 6):
“George getting caught by his girlfriend’s mom eating food out of the garbage was a wild and hilarious moment. Later on in the episode, she catches him wiping down a random car with a newspaper. It’s the perfect portrayal of how sometimes the people you most want to impress only catch you in your worst moments.”
3. VOICE-MAIL SWITCH (FROM “THE PHONE MESSAGE,” SEASON 2, EPISODE 7):
“George leaving a crazy voice mail on his girlfriend’s machine is the modern-day version of drunk-texting your girl (or an ex). The dialogue between Jerry and George when they are in her apartment trying to switch tapes is genius.”
4. ELAINE CAN’T GET A DOCTOR (FROM “THE PACKAGE,” SEASON 8, EPISODE 5):
“When Elaine couldn’t get a doctor to treat her rash because she was a ‘difficult’ patient was another wild moment. Somehow Uncle Leo ends up with Sharpie-drawn eyebrows, and Kramer becomes Dr. Van Nostrand—classic Seinfeld comedy. It also kind of makes you paranoid the next time you visit the doctor.”
5. MASTER OF MY DOMAIN (FROM “THE CONTEST,” SEASON 4, EPISODE 11):
“This is probably my favorite episode of ll time. It’s a relatable story line [George, Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer compete to see who can go the longest without masturbating], but the circumstances are insane. It makes you think, ‘Would I be able to control myself in that situation?’ Would you?”
