Favorite "Elaine" Moments
Edited on Tue Nov-08-05 07:47 PM by Sugar Smack
BOY do I love her. I am not sure which is my favorite Elaine scene from Seinfeld, so I'll put forth a few. Feel free to add to my list! That woman cracks me up.

1) She's in a cab stuck in traffic at a parade. She's already terribly impatient. She notices another car with its window open and a dog inside. She bitches at her cab driver about how some people just LET their dog's ear flop back. Not being able to take it any more, she shouts to the driver, "HEY! FOLD YOUR DOG'S EAR BACK!" and then, is apparently satisfied.

2) She tells boyfriend Putty that doing the "high-five" is...stupid. He gets REALLY, REALLY offended. He says, "you know what's stupid? YOU are. Stupid."

3) Elaine is at Jerry's and rejects a juice drink he's given her because she has to shake it. She laments that she has to shake EVERYTHING, and Jerry demonstrates, oozing with sarcasm, that it really isn't that hard.

4) She has to get an insufferable guest to the airport. She wakes up late and does the best panicked, flouncing-around in her nightie I've ever seen.

5) Lastly, she demonstrates HUNGER in the Chinese reataurant better than anyone I've ever seen. It's really convincing!


Let's give it up for Julia Louis-Dreyfuss!

:applause:

6. OMG! ROFL! I'd forgot that one!
How does she do it? I loved the extras they got to play her snarfing co-workers, to which she said, "WHAT?!?"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

That "dance". It WAS a classic.

5. George complains about "shrinkage" after going in the water
Elaine didn't know about shrinkage and says, I don't see how you guys walk around with those things." Or something like that.

12. One of the best scenes EVER-
She's disgusted at all the cake and b-day celebrations in her office. She sort of "boycotts" the whole thing for a while. Then, she needs a sugar fix. She steals a 200 year-old slab of cake from her boss's office and imagines she's royalty, then tries to replace it with Entenmanns (sp?). Funniest damn dance I've ever seen.

If someone can correct me on her boss's name or the brand of cake, I won't be in the least offended! ;-)

23. OH, SHIT! LOL! J. Peterman! Funniest. Boss. Ever.
I love that "rakish" way he has about him. Someone writing the script must have dreamt up the perfect "boss" and applied it to this actor. I cannot get enough of him, nor can I get enough of "Putty". J. Peterman is the BEST.

I forgot that one, too!

Elaine speaks for ALL of us with rudeness we cannot deny. And it isn't rudeness, either! It's calling something what it is! I love it.

24. I re-played that, over & over,
and how she bowed to one of his African masks and said, "Oh, no, I shouldn't" in a PERFECT English accent, and then straightaway continued to eat the cake.

20. The cake she ate was the wedding cake of the Duke of Windsors
:D

There was a big auction in Real Life that year from the Windsors (The guy who ditched the queen in order to marry a divorced American woman).

48. Definitely "sponge worthy"
Not only a classic episode, it was so accurate. I remember the day I called the company and learned that they had stopped making them. I rushed out to every store in town to buy all I could find.

34. Almost forgot about "The Urban Sombrero"
Edited on Tue Nov-08-05 08:55 PM by no name no slogan
She did the catalog when Peterman was off being the only white poet/warlord in the Burmese jungle. She chose to lead off the catalog with "The Urban Sombrero".




As Peterman said when he returned, "thank you, Elaine, for a job.... done."

50. That is one of my favorite episodes. When she is walking down
the aisle of the plane and trips and the guy makes the sound like "tsk". She turns to him and gets right in his face and makes the same sound! "Tsk! Tsk!"

Then she gets stuck with the Kosher meal.

Meanwhile, Jerry is in first class sitting next to a model and eating ice cream sundaes! "More of everything!!"

43. you want your card? here's your card
The nips episode when Kramer takes a picture of her for her Christmas card and the nipple is showing. George doesn't get a card and she says, you want your card? here's your card and proceeds to mush George's face into her bussom. At least I think that was the line..
the look on George's face after that with his ruffled hair is classic.

Peace

...from an early episode ("The Pen"...thank you, "Seinfeld Companion") in which she had taken muscle relaxers after experiencing terrible back pain following a night on Jerry's parents' sleeper sofa - she was calling out to Jerry's Aunt Stella using Marlon Brando's trademark line from "A Streetcar Named Desire" afer spotting her in the restaurant. :rofl:
