What’s the funniest moment in the show?


And why?

reply

There are SO many funny moments! The one that makes me laugh out loud is the scene where Elaine is looking up the symptoms of rabies after she was bitten by a dog.

She reads, "Trouble swallowing" and immediately her throat constricts and she can't swallow the soda she tries to drink.

Kramer shouts, 'She's foaming at the mouth!"

There are probably lots more funny moments, but that one popped into my mind immediately.

George eating out of the trash can and getting caught.

reply

Yeah that was a good one!

The Pony one gets me so bad. It’s hilarious because they try to explain themselves and just make it worse.

For me it was when George and Jerry's car breaks down so they pass George off as someone else in order to be taken home in a limo whose real passenger's flight was detained. Well it turns out that the real guy is a neo Nazi who no one has actually ever seen and he was supposed to be giving a speech that night.

When the car reaches a certain point there's a huge protest, people banging on the doors, rocking the limo, thinking George is the Nazi. Leave it to these guys to get themselves into such a mess!! It's hysterical!

Also Shrinkage! It had me in stitches! Poor George

When Newman is buying food from Kenny' Rogers' Roasters for Kramer, and Jerry calls him out and makes his eat the broccoli. "Vile weed!"

reply

Can't just name one...too many. But I really like when Kramer slammed a $100 on the counter and said "I'm out" and the other is the car rental. You know how to take a reservation......with Jerry's arms up in the air.

reply

"Would you like to add insurance?"

"Oh yeah, I'm going to beat this car into the ground!" or something like that...

reply

It’s subtle but I love the backwards episode where Kramer’s lolipop gets progressively bigger. I like little background gags like that.

reply

That was probably the best episode start to finish...

"REPARATIONS!"

reply

Kramer's reaction to the bright Kenny Rogers Roasters blinding bright sign when he opens Jerry's door

"Bad Chicken! Mess you UP!"

“Mr. Marbles…?”

It's that one where they really like the soup and George does something stupid (I forget what it was) and the guy's like "That's it, no soup for you my friend" and George is like "But I really like the soup!" and the guy goes "Well tough because you aren't getting any soup"...

Soup Nazi episode?

reply

Yes! That's the one...

I love the one you mentioned too with George pretending to be the marine biologist.

I also love the one where George pretends to be handicap to use the office's superior toilet and it plays Sheena Easton's "9 to 5" as he ascends the stair lift 😂!

reply

The sea was angry that day my friends...like an old man trying to return soup at a deli

reply

“At that moment, I was a marine biologist.”

That’s one of my favorite episodes.

My kids and I watched it every week. Daughter even bought me the DVD's and still watch the show. It's funny because almost all the time I see something and tell her, remember that one show and we laugh. You can almost everyday hear tag lines from the show....not that it matters. Best show ever.
