(46,337 posts)You got it, I never liked Seinfeld's vanity project, and still detest it.

(6,107 posts)Such as vanity publishing. Difference in what we think of as a vanity project I guess.

(51,122 posts)Elaine's line at the end is priceless:
"Maybe I should go visit my mother. She just bought me some new panties, and they're all (mock-seductively) laid out for me."

(7,906 posts)usually involving Elaine, (not a square to spare) and when she was in the Sauna with someone who's breasts she thought were fake, but this one had me laugh so hard I had tears.

(38,458 posts)I think it was three episodes long.
Kramer a suspected serial killer.
red dog 1
(27,820 posts)I'd forgotten about that one.
Kramer prints up flyers with his photo on them to get an acting job, and he gives one to a woman who later gets murdered...So, after they discover her body and one of kramer's flyers is on her, he becomes a suspect.
EvilAL
(1,437 posts)after he gets released singing 'because the murderer struck again' all happy, then they realize how bad it looks to be happy about the murderer striking again.

(43,182 posts)Where George desperately has to convince a friend that he isn't paranoid and crazy regarding his old nemesis Lloyd Braun, despite all signs (falsely) pointing to him as such. Perfectly and hilariously executed. Whenever I see a story where some notable figure is making some theory that sounds completely insane, I always remark, "Don't you see? He was doing it to fool Lloyd Braun!"

Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)Grew up in a home that had Merv on all the time. It was the kind of thing I'd expect from SCTV (they did a sketch called "The Merv Griffith Show with Rick Moranis ("Merv" channeling Andy Griffit from the Andy Griffith Show).
A lot of Seinfeld episodes, both legendary and forgettable, were cut from somewhat the same cloth. But the "Merv" episode was so surreal, so weird, really unlike anything else they did.

Shrek
(3,981 posts)Frank: Inchon, Korea, 1950. I was the best cook Uncle Sam ever saw, slinging
hash for the Fighting 103rd. As we marched north, our supply lines were getting
thin. One day a couple of GIs found a crate, inside were six hundred pounds of
prime Texas steer. At least it once was prime. The Use date was three weeks
past, but I was arrogant, I was brash, I thought if I used just the right
spices, cooked it long enough...
Kramer: What happened?
Frank: I went too far. I over seasoned it. Men were keeling over all around
me. I can still hear the retching, the screaming. I sent sixteen of my own men
to the latrines that night. They were just boys.
Kramer: Frank, you were a boy too. And it was war. It was a crazy time for
everyone.
Frank: Tell that to Bobby Colby. All that kid wanted to do was go home. Well
he went home alright, with a crater in his colon the size of a cutlet. Had to
sit him on a cork the eighteen-hour flight home!

Jerry (reading): Jewish singles night?
Kramer: I expect you both to be there.
Elaine: I'm not Jewish.
Kramer: Well neither am I.
Jerry: Well why are you going?
Kramer: I'm not, I'm running it.
Jerry: What are you talking about?
Kramer: Well Lomez, he usually runs it but he's in the Everglades.
Jerry: Lomez is Jewish?
Kramer: Oh yeah yeah yeah. Orthodox, Jerry. Old school.

(27,820 posts)He was a neighbor of Jerry's parents at Del Boca Vista.
In a later episode, Morty Seinfeld sells the Cadillac Jerry gave him to Jack Klompas; and Jerry tries to buy it back from him.
(I'm not sure I'm spelling Klompas' name right)

(50,566 posts)The ketchup squirt at 1:07 is my favorite bit of physical comedy from the series:
Earth_First
(14,910 posts)This one has it all!
George with Tyler Chicken.
Elaine and Top of the Muffin to You.
Kramer and Peterman Reality Tour.
Newman to eat the muffin stumps.
Of course there are hundreds of great episodes, and this is by no means my favorite, however a top 5.
