Favorite Seinfeld Episode

Recommended Posts

Everyone has a fevorite Seinfeld episode. I was watching the first 3 seasons on DVD with my dad because we got it for him for Christmas. My all-time favorite has to be the one where Jerry meets Keith Hernandez and wants to make a good impression. Meanwhile, George is out of time on his unemployment and he works harder than ever on his scheme to get a 13 week extension. He tells the unemployment office he was really close on Vandelay Industries, a company that makes latex products and whose main office is Jerry's apartment. Kramer and Newman hate Hernandez back to a time when they were allegedly spit on by him; however, Jerry supports the "second-spitter theory." Keith asks Jerry about Elaine's status. Keith makes a date with her and breaks a date with Jerry. Indulge:

[Jerry's Apartment]

 

JERRY: Hellooo Newman.

 

KRAMER: I hate KEITH HERNANDEZ - hate him.

 

NEWMAN: I despise him.

 

ELAINE: Why?

 

NEWMAN: Why? I'll tell you why...

 

KRAMER: Let me tell it ..

 

NEWMAN: No, you can't tell it ..

 

KRAMER: You always tell it ..

 

NEWMAN: All right, tell it.

 

KRAMER: Ja ja ja - just tell it

 

NEWMAN: June 14, 1987.... Mets Phillies. We're enjoying a beautiful afternoon

in the right field stands when a crucial Hernandez error to a five run Phillies

ninth. Cost the Mets the game.

 

KRAMER: Our day was ruined. There was a lot of people, you know, they were

waiting by the player's parking lot. Now we're coming down the ramp ... [cut

to film of the day - like the Zabruter film - with the Umbrella man and

everything - Oh so brilliant parody!!!] ... Newman was in front of me. Keith

was coming toward us, as he passes Newman turns and says, " Nice game pretty

boy.". Keith continued past us up the ramp.

 

NEWMAN: A second later, something happened that changed us in a deep and

profound way front that day forward.

 

ELAINE: What was it?

 

KRAMER: He spit on us.... and I screamed out, "I'm hit!"

 

NEWMAN: Then I turned and the spit ricochet of him and it hit me.

 

ELAINE: Wow! What a story.

 

JERRY: Unfortunately the immutable laws of physics contradict the whole premise

of your account. Allow me to reconstruct this if I may for Miss Benes as

I've heard this story a number of times. Newman, Kramer, if you'll indulge me. According to your story Keith passes you and starts walking up the ramp then you say you were struck on the right temple. The spit then proceeds to ricochet off the temple striking Newman between the third and forth rib. The spit then cam off

the rib turned and hit Newman in the right wrist causing him to drop his

baseball cap. The spit then splashed off the wrist, pauses, in mid air

mind you!, makes a left turn and lands on Newman's left thigh. That is one

magic luggie.

 

NEWMAN: Well that's the way it happened.

 

JERRY: What happened to your head when you got hit?

 

KRAMER: Well. uh, well my head went back and to the left

 

JERRY: Again

 

KRAMER: Back and to the left

 

JERRY: Back and to the left Back and to the left

 

ELAINE: So, what are you saying?

 

JERRY: I am saying that the spit could not have come from behind ... that there had to have been

a second spitter behind the bushes on the gravelly road. If the spitter was behind you as you claimed

that would have caused your head to pitch forward.

 

ELAINE: So the spit could have only come from the front and to the right.

 

JERRY: But that is not what they would have you believe.

 

NEWMAN: I'm leavin'. Jerry's a nut.

 

KRAMER: Wait, wait......

 

JERRY: The sad thing is we may never know the real truth.

Are you for real?  Nearly as funny as Seinfeld?

 

I've never seen it, but I've heard from a few different people that it sucks.

It's actually smarter and funnier than Seinfeld. If you don't start at the beginning of the series though, you will be lost in terms of story and jokes. There is an ongoing plot, in contrast to Seinfeld, where the episodes are pretty much self-contained.

 

In short, if you jump in on season 2 or even halfway through season 1, you probably won't be able to appreciate it to the fullest.

Soup Nazi

Festivus

Can't remember the name but George pretends he's a marine biologist and disloges Kramer's golf ball from a whale's blow hole

Vandalay Industries

No soup for you! The marine biologist one is called "The Marine Biologist." :D Seriosuly, it is. Vandalay industries is the same episode I was talking about earlier. George is unemployed and forces Jerry's phone # to a made up company. That episode is entitled "The Boyfriend."

Best part of that ep is where George comes stumbling out of the bathroom screaming "Vandalay!" :lol:

My favorite one is the one where Elaine is driving Paddy's car and finds out all of the radio pre-sets are Christian radio stations. The conversation the two of them have with the priest ALWAYS makes me laugh (even just thinking about it).

Puddy was great, especially with the high fives "lowest form of male communication" and the 8 ball jacket.
