Elaine's line at the end is priceless:

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.

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!"

46. The Merv Griffin episode.
Thu Dec 18, 2014, 11:33 PM
Dec 2014

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&quot 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.

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!

[hr][/hr]

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.

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)

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.
