I do believe the Festivus episode is my favorite. So much going on in that one.
Kramer goes on strike. Jerry dates a ugly/good looking chick. Elaine goes through hell to try to get a free sub. George try's to screw everyone at work out of a Christmas gift.
And the highlight, Mr. Costanza, George's dad, celebrates an old holiday he invented: Festivus. A festivus for the rest of us!
George's boss, Jerry, Kramer, and Elaine attend the Festivus dinner, which is a complete and total disaster. Hard to beat that episode.
There was this early episode where Kramer convinces Jerry to get free cable. He kept singing something like, "Jerry is gonna be a cable boy". Could not get that out of my head for a week.
The one of the funniest episodes was where Kramer got that old Merv Griffin set and was acting like they were on a talk show. Then Newman was his sidekick, excellent.
Oh yeah, the Merv Griffin set was a classic. George was dating a chick who wanted him to spend a bunch of coin on a hurt squirrel. The vet told him it's would be about 59 cents to put it to sleep, but it would be hundreds to fix it.
That was a crazy episode.
Festivus quotes:
FRANK: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reach for the last one they had - but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way!
KRAMER: What happened to the doll?
FRANK: It was destroyed. But out of that, a new holiday was born. "A Festivus for the rest of us!"
FRANK: Welcome, new comers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!
...
FRANK: And now as Festivus rolls on, we come to the feats of strength.
...
FRANK: Good thinking, Kruger. Until you pin me, George, Festivus is not over!
the junior mint episode was rockin. Jerry dated a chick and had sex with her and could not remember her name. He also went to watch an operation with Kramer and they lost a mint over the top and it fell in the patient.
"Let me just finish my coffee, and then we'll go watch them cut the fat bastard up."
- Jerry to Kramer, in "The Junior Mints"
"Who's gonna turn down a Junior Mint? It's chocolate, it's peppermint -- it's delicious!"
- Kramer, in "The Junior Mints"
"I have no medical evidence to back me up, but something happened during the operation that staved off that infection. Something beyond science. Something perhaps from above..."
"Mint?"
"Those can be very refreshing."
- The doctor and Kramer, in "The Junior Mints"
"You don't know my name, do you?"
"Yes I do."
"What is it?"
"It, uh, rhymes with a female body part."
"What is it?"
"Mulva..."
- Dolores and Jerry, in "The Junior Mints"
It was just little stuff that would crack me up, like when George was taking the Ross' to his fake house in the Hamptons and he was talking about his horses, Snoopy and Prickly Pete.
Man, I saw the nipple episode yesterday, forgot how funny that was. They kept calling her nip at work. Jerry was caught in a 'pick' at the light. Freakin' comedy. When George complains about not getting a card Elaine grabs his head and shoves it in her chest.
