Top 10 Best Seinfeld Episodes
No hugging. No learning. Just some of the sharpest, pettiest, and most perfectly executed nonsense ever aired on television.Seinfeld didn't just change sitcoms, it gleefully dismantled the idea that a show needed to go anywhere or mean anything. One minute it's about not masturbating, the next it's about soup that's too good for you. And yet, here you are, trying to decide which of these absurd adventures deserves the crown.
Maybe you're a fan of George lying his way into fake careers. Maybe you can quote the Soup Nazi word for word without flinching. Maybe you just want to give some love to the low-key brilliance of a puffy shirt or a Junior Mint. Whatever your reason, it's time to vote.
I've probably seen every episode of Seinfeld, and this has to be the best! Whenever I think of Seinfeld, I think of No soup for you! This is probably the most iconic episode. If you haven't seen this episode or don't like it, then you don't know true comedy! I'm a 13-year-old male, and I still think that Seinfeld is definitely my favorite TV show of all time!
You cannot go one solid month or year without someone saying, "No soup for you!" This is what makes this episode a classic!
I love this episode. It is so funny. It is probably one of the most quotable episodes as well. "No soup for you."
What a funny episode. I thought that it was so funny when George and Susan were playing Trivial Pursuit with the bubble boy and he was being mean to them. I can't believe that at the end of the episode, Kramer burned down the cabin.
One of the best episodes of any show ever!
Yes, this is the best Seinfeld episode. Absolute genius. To take such a taboo subject and handle it in such a tasteful yet hilarious way is remarkable. The brilliant writing of Larry David, with situations like the curtain in the hospital room, the "treating his body like an amusement park," the wager in the diner, Kramer's "I'm out!," and so many other parts make this the most original and absolutely number one episode.
Actually, any episode that dealt with sex or had an alternate storyline about sex is the best. Never ever saying the word and only through innuendo, subtext, and images, they were able to stroll past the censors and have fun at the same time. Best use of the medium for a still uptight and Puritanical American society. Simply brilliant.
George appears to be losing his mind because of Lloyd Braun and the woman on the horse. Hilarious.
"My ex-boyfriend came over last night and yada yada, I am very tired today."
If I have to choose only one Seinfeld, it would be this episode. George's performance is exceptional.
Best clip ever when George is in the movie theatre!
If you don't vote for this, then the jerk store just called for you. The way in which the "other side of midnight" plotline was weaved into the "comeback" plotline at the end was very nice. The first time I saw it, I about busted a gut when the guy said, "His wife's in a coma."
Come on, people. This episode has the awesome scenes with George living with his parents and becoming a hand model, the low talker, and the puffy shirt on the Today Show.
Quotes include:
Jerry: "But I don't want to be a pirate."
George's Mom: "GEORGE LIKES THE BANANAS."
Elaine: "You're supposed to look like a compassionate person... you look like you're going to swing in on a chandelier."
Kramer: "I just can't be with someone whose life is in complete disarray."
George's Dad: "I used to have a silver dollar collection."
George: "Don't worry... I won a contest."
Jerry: "People were yelling out 'A vast Ye Matie,' what the hell does that mean?"
Absolutely the best episode, as it was one hour jam-packed full of clever writing and antics. It included Newman and others as well.

The Newcomers
Love this one. "Drivin' around in Jon Voight's car," "There's Barbara Mandrell's skateboard," and "Sometimes I spell Jerry with a G."
Jerry wears cowboy boots, Elaine wins her boss a spot holding a rope under the Woody Woodpecker balloon in the Macy's parade, Jerry pops Woody Woodpecker, and Mom & Pop sell Jerry's shoes!
I just don't get why Kramer is getting nosebleeds. That part was weird.
One of the funniest episodes that will keep you laughing the whole time.
The sea was angry that day, my friends... Like an old man trying to return soup at a deli.
"Is anyone here a marine biologist?"
A hugely underrated episode. Jerry's parents are painfully funny, as well as Jack Clompus and the rest of the Phase 2 residents. STELLA!
Here's to feeling good all the time.
Kramer goes in and he's like, "Don't worry, Jerry, there is always next spring. Now if you'll excuse me... SERENITY NOW!"
One of the best episodes of Seinfeld. I like how there was bathroom humor in this episode. The episode also has some of the best quotes and memorable scenes that the show has had. Definitely one of my top 5 favorite episodes.
It has to be one of the best TV moments in history. It is one of those episodes that you'll never forget. Like the Chinese restaurant. You can watch it over and over and it never gets old.
(Episode 23, Season 3)
"You know, I've been issued a public urination pass by the city because of my condition. Unfortunately, my little brother ran out of the house with it this morning. Him and his friends are probably peeing all over the place."
- Jerry
Frank and Elaine's fight, that's all I have to say!
(Episode 138, Season 8)
"It's more like a full-body dry heave set to music."
- George, about Elaine's dancing in The Little Kicks
(Episode 31, Season 3)
"Anyone who would laugh at a recital is probably some sort of lunatic anyway. I mean, only a sick, twisted mind could be that rude and ignorant."
"Well, maybe some mental defective put something stupid on her leg."
"Even if this so-called mental defective did put something on her leg, she's still the one who laughed."
- Jerry and Elaine
"I don't have a good apartment for an intervention. The furniture, it's very non-confrontational."
- Jerry
In 'The Pez' episode, Jerry was hilarious. He just never cared, which was funny.
