Favourite Secondary Character on Seinfeld.

Favorite all time episode is the Merv Griffin set Kramer has in his apartment.
 
That whole episode sucked other than that part. The shit with jerry and his girlfriend's toys, plus elaine and the sidler was just rubbish, not to mention george and the bionic squirrel.

Kramer and newman though...those two are hilarious together.

"what about a guest host?"
"i'm going to pretend i didn't hear that."

"you know, i've been buying the generic waxed beans; you peel the label off and you can barely taste the difference."
"well, we've officially bottomed out."
 
So many great lines.
I liked the one where george was going on a trip to the caymans and he had a dream where he was doing stand-up in maine and they were throwing comedians off a cliff.

Jerry was like "I think I've played there."

Then george: "Boy, that was really paranormal.:
Jerry: "You're a little paranormal."

Later...george: "yeah, I think I will go see that psychic."
Jerry: "Psychics, vacations, how about finding a job?"
 
"You're smashing my sandwich!" :icon_lol:

True.
This exchange killed me though



JERRY: So three dates and she still won't let me play with her toys.

KRAMER: That's interesting. You know someone mentioned to me you were not very happy with your toys growing up.

JERRY: Yeah, that was me.

KRAMER: Oh, that's right, right, right. And uh you mentioned that uh, you didn't get a G.I. Joe. You had.

JERRY: An Army Pete.

KRAMER: Right.

JERRY: He was made of wood and in the rain he would swell up and then split.

KRAMER: And we all know how painful that can be.

<Elaine enters>

ELAINE: Jerry

KRAMER: Oh, Elaine Benes. Well, this is quite a thrill, yes. Come on sit down. Yes.

ELAINE: Well, I'll tell ya, this sidler guy is really chapping my hide.

KRAMER: Excuse me yeah. We're talking ... this way.

ELAINE: Well, he's getting credit for work I did! He's gonna sidle me right out of a job.

KRAMER: Now, for those of us who don't know, uh, sidling is what?

ELAINE: Kramer, what is wrong with you?

KRAMER: What do you mean?

ELAINE: Well, for starters, you're looking at note cards <to Jerry> I'm gonna have to give that guy a taste

of his own medicine, so, I'm going to sidle the sidler.

JERRY: You, sidle? You ... you stomp around like a Clydesdale!

ELAINE: Not with these honeys. ... Wrestling shoes!

KRAMER: Only in New York. ... ha ha

GEORGE: Jerry?

<George enters>

KRAMER: Oh! Well, ladies and gentlemen! It's our good friend, George Costanza! What a surprise!

Yeah, sit, sit, sit.. Weeell!

GEORGE: Well, it happened again.

JERRY: What happened?

KRAMER: tut tut , I'll ask the questions. What happened?

GEORGE: Well, I just stomped some pigeons in the park. They - they didn't move.

KRAMER: All right, let's change the subject. Now, uh you and Jerry dated for a while. Tell us ... what

was that like? That was the wrong card.

GEORGE: I I don't get these birds! They're breaking the deal. It's like the pigeons decided to ignore me!

JERRY: So they're like everyone else.

GEORGE: So they're flying the tiny instruments in from El Paso.

KRAMER: El Paso? I spent a month there one night.

NEWMAN: <laughs>El Paso!

JERRY: What's he here for?

KRAMER: To take some of the pressure off of me. So, Jerry, what's going on with you? I understand

there's a young lady in your life. mmm

JERRY: Well, actually, it's kind of a funny story because she has this amazing toy collection and last night

I finally got to play with them.

KRAMER: Well. It sounds like things are progressing. Do I hear wedding bells?

NEWMAN: Are you married right now?

JERRY: Actually she doesn't even know about the toys. I gave her the wrong kind of medicine and

I guess she passed out!

KRAMER: What do you mean "wrong kind of medicine"?

JERRY: She's even got that old Matel football game that we love!

GEORGE: Oh, come on! You gotta get me over there!

KRAMER: Wait a minute, wait a minute! You mean to say that you drugged a woman so you could take

advantage of her toys? Let's pause a moment. Jerry, now, what you do with your personal

life is your business, but when you're on my set - you clean it up, mister!

NEWMAN: I told you he was a risk.

JERRY: Oh, like he's not just carrying you! And has been for years!

NEWMAN: Yeah? Well, you bombed! That story stunk worse than these chairs!

KRAMER: Smile, everyone! We're back!

KRAMER: Okay. a little later, we're gonna be talking with animal expert Jim Fowler.

FOWLER: Where are the cameras?

KRAMER: But first, we're talking with Jerry. Okay, Jerry, uh, you drugged a woman in order to play with

her toy collection. How do you feel about that?

JERRY: It was great! I've done it a few more time since then.

KRAMER: And she doesn't know anything about this?

JERRY: No, not a thing.

Newman: laughs

KRAMER: Well, Jerry, we have a little surprise for you! Come on out, Celia!

CELIA: What kind of a sick twisted creep are you?

NEWMAN and KRAMER: Woah.

JERRY: What is this? What is she doing here?

KRAMER: It's the new format. Scandals and Animals. Go with it.

CELIA: If you think you can drug me and play with my toys, you got another thing coming, buddy!

NEWMAN: Go girl!

JERRY: Well, what kind of woman drinks a whole box of wine?

NEWMAN and KRAMER: Ohhh!

<George enters with the squirrel>

GEORGE: Mister Fowler, I have a squirrel here that is a miracle of modern science!

KRAMER: George I told you we're booked!

FOWLER: Careful. Hawks and squirrels don't get along together.

KRAMER: Ohhh. another interesting confrontation. This could be spicy. Yeah, George bring him over.

FOWLER: No, you idiot! Hawks eat squirrels!

KRAMER: Are we getting this?
 
Holy shit, I failed hard at that!

The parts where kramer was pretending to look at the imaginary audience was comedic genius too. Loved the bit about el paso, as I lived there for a year when I was a kid.

This part in the episode with the old folks was great:

Wait! Wait! Do you realize how irresponsible this is? Our agency's sole purpose is to care for senior citizens.
And in one fell swoop you have single-handedly destroyed our reputation.
Yes, but - Yes? - It's Tim Fields.
Mr.
Fields' son.
All right, come on up.
Oh, great.
I don't know what happened.
We tried to take him to the dentist.
Why were you taking him to the dentist? Well, his false teeth got mangled up in the garbage disposal.
What were his teeth doing in the garbage disposal? - Well, after he bit my friend - Bit your friend? What the hell is going on here? How do you lose a human being? - I am sorry.
- And who were these other people? What were they doing in the apartment? Well, I brought them up there to take his records.
Take his records? Do you realize how valuable that record collection is? - Hey! - There you are.
Did you find him? No.
We took the records over to Ron's, and he tried to screw us and then we got in a fight.
- A real melee.
Yeah, a real brouhaha.
- Then all the records broke.
- The records? My father's records? - Did anybody try and call him? - Yeah, I called, but there's no answer.
Well, the line's busy now.
The line's busy.
He must be home.

Then they walk in on george with the girl from senegal. :icon_lol:

"Break out pop-in? Fugitive sex? This is all too much for me right now, I've got a cock-fight to train for."



"Just because big jerry is a has-been, don't make little jerry a never-was!"
 
If Frank qualifies, it was definitely him, but there were so many.
 
The little jerry seinfeld episode is during the era of when Seinfeld jumped the shark.

The best season are 3-6. Untouchable comedy. Once Larry David left the show was not nearly the same.
 
As a Seinfeld nut just reading through this thread has made me laugh so hard and have a ton of happiness over the fact they're other Seinfeld fanatics like me. Such good shit here.

When I was watching Seinfeld growing up I thought it was the GOAT but wasn't sure since I was still pretty young. Now that I've had another 15 years to see how much worse the genre is now, Seinfeld is definitely the GOAT
 
I just the pilot episode the other day it was god awful did the first season of that
suck that bad? The later seasons after that were pretty good.

The show, like many great shows(Simpsons, anyone), took a season or two to really get goin. I think a lot of it has to do with character development. It takes time for characters to develop distinct personalities, idiosyncrasies, etc. by season 3, the show was going full steam.
