![]() The result is a new holiday and a classic Seinfeld line to boot. ![]() When Frank Costanza realized he was raining blows down upon another man over a doll he was trying to buy his son for Christmas, he realizes there has to be another way. We don’t think any of that well deserved praise would have been possible had this line not become a virtual catchphrase. Netting Larry David his only solo Emmy for writing, this particular episode was also chosen by TV Guide as the greatest TV episode of all time. But we all knew what they were talking about. The core of one of the most groundbreaking episodes of any show ever, this perfectly crafted line ensured the foursome never had to actually say the word “masturbation” in an episode that centers on the concept. #8: “But are you still master of your domain?” Coming in the final seconds of the first part of this two-parter season 3 episode – with George’s pants firmly around his ankles –Kramer answers the phone and unintentionally destroys his friend’s ruse, setting the scene for this laugh-out-loud line courtesy of Jerry. Like many of the lines on this list, it’s the circumstances surrounding this line that make it all the more legendary. When George is cornered by his unemployment officer, he invents a position he was attempting to get at a made-up company with Jerry’s phone number. #9: “And you want to be my latex salesman” The especially overwrought version uttered by George will always stay with us, making this a phrase we never fail to utter whenever we’re eating something salty. A line made all the more memorable by the fact that Kramer not only repeats it multiple times, but also tries to get the entire crew to chime in as well. When Kramer’s unique charisma manages to gain the attention of famed director Woody Allen, he’s given a line in one of his movies – and he is going to get everything he can out of it. #10: “These pretzels are making me thirsty” Welcome to, and today we’re counting down our picks for the top 10 Seinfeld quotes.įor this list, we’ve chosen the best and most memorable lines from the history of the show “Seinfeld.” We’ve decided to leave off less commonly quoted lines, as well as concepts that may or may not have originated on the show and which have found a place in our collective consciousness but may not be used in everyday life. ![]() It was a good show, put on by a practiced comedian who knows he’s a master of his domain and doesn’t stray from it – not that there’s anything wrong with that.It may have been a show about nothing, but it had a lot to say. Nothing stood out as being exceptionally funnier than the rest or more memorable, for that matter. ![]() Outdated bits about *69 and caffeine addictions would’ve been more relevant and a lot funnier a decade ago when people still used home phones and energy drinks were in their heyday. His source material is the world we all know, and he has a natural ability to pick apart the little moments in life we all experience and find those silver linings.īut the world is changing fast, and Seinfeld’s slowly beginning to lag behind. While irritating, she couldn’t have been more correct. That was reaffirmed by the woman sitting behind me, who would exclaim, “That’s so true!,” through fits of laughter after every joke. As a father and a husband, the animated comedian is your everyman who encounters the same type of people and gets himself in the same situations we do – he’s just talented enough to make a living out of commenting on it. Those high-pitched inflections in his voice when he gets exasperated, and the facial expressions he makes to sell the authenticity of every joke that little bit more gives off the impression that the Seinfeld character he played on TV is the same guy who’s performing live in Victoria.ĭespite his wealth and fame, he doesn’t come off as being any different than you or I. Many of his jokes – especially his newer stuff, where he riffs on cellphones and those window stickers families put on their minivan – could easily be used as fodder for great conversational scenes involving Kramer, George and Elaine, if the show was still around. Performing Saturday night to a sold-out show at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, or our “hockey arena theatre” as he called it, Jerry Seinfeld, the 59-year-old comedian, was the very same same-named character we watched for nearly a decade on NBC.
