The 10 best Seinfeld episodes ever
This is the definitive list of the greatest Seinfelds EVER. This is the definitive list because not only have I seen every episode I've seen them more than you. I had a lot of free time my last semester of college so I made this list. Since this is the greatest sitcom ever and all the episodes are worth watching I based this top 10 list on originality, hilarity, capturing the essence of life and rewatchability. If you disagree you're wrong so don't e-mail me with suggestions.
10. The Robbery
While out of town Jerry's apartment gets robbed (Kramer left the door
open); so he considers moving. However, the apartment that George shows
him is also an apartment that he wants, so they try to decide who will
get it. Whoever wins, Elaine wants their apartment. Meanwhile, Kramer
searches for the stolen property.
9. The Parking Garage
Everyone separates to try to find the car in a huge parking garage. Jerry
needs the use of a bathroom so he finds a place to go and gets busted.
Elaine tries to get help from people passing by. George joins Jerry in
getting busted. Kramer is wearing "the jacket," and forgets where he put
down the air conditioner he was carrying and causes George to be real
late for his parent's 47th anniversary.
8. The Deal
Jerry and Elaine are watching TV late at night and stumble across "naked
people" and that gets them both discussing whether they could have a
relationship and not jeopardize their friendship. George says it can't be
done, but Jerry and Elaine devise "a system"; however, it develops a
little trouble when her birthday comes along.
7. The pilot 1, 2
Jerry and George get the green light to produce Jerry, the pilot for the
series based on their "nothing" lives. Russell Dalrimple, the president
at NBC behind the pilot, is obsessed with Elaine. George is obsessed with
a white spot on his lip and a box of raisins taken by actor playing
Kramer. The real Kramer has an internal plumbing problem and on his way
to fix it, he gets delayed and is caused to "miss his chance." Jerry has
an audition with the new "Elaine," a method actress interested in being
Elaine in every way. The real Elaine has a problem with the coffee shop,
they appear to be only hiring buxom waitresses, so she tries to get hired
and files a report.
6. The Engagement
Jerry and George reevaluate their relationships with women, so they make
"a pact" to change their ways, though Jerry doesn't know it. Elaine has a
problem sleeping in her new apartment because of a nearby constantly
barking dog; Kramer recommends a solution. George gets back with Susan,
his former girlfriend from NBC; he asks her to marry him, and after a
couple hours of convincing she says yes. Kramer, his solution (Newman)
and Elaine commit a dognapping and take the dog far out of the city.
Jerry breaks up with his girlfriend again; however, George is now trapped
in his relationship with Susan, almost to the point where he is married
already. Elaine almost gets a good night of sleep.
5. The Switch
Elaine lets a potential employer borrow Mr. Pitt's tennis racket, but the
injury suffered may ruin her chances, especially when she must get his
racket back. Jerry's girlfriend never laughs, but he meets her roommate
who does, so Jerry decides he would like to make "the switch." George's
model girlfriend may be bulimic. He needs proof, so he meets Kramer's
mother, who's a bathroom matron. While there he finds out Kramer's first
name, Cosmo. Kramer decides it is time to be himself and begins to use
his first name. George has the perfect plan for "the switch," a menage a
trois.
4. The Boyfriend 1, 2
Jerry meets Keith Hernandez and wants to make a good impression.
Meanwhile, George is out of time on his unemployment and he works harder
than ever on his scheme to get a 13 week extension. He tells the
unemployment office he was really close on Vandelay Industries, a company
that makes latex products and whose main office is Jerry's apartment.
Kramer and Newman hate Hernandez back to a time when they were allegedly
spit on by him; however, Jerry supports the "second-spitter theory."
Keith asks Jerry about Elaine's status. Keith makes a date with her and
breaks a date with Jerry.
3. The Marine Biologist
Jerry meets an old college classmate who asked about George, whom Jerry
says is now a "marine biologist." An infuriated Russian writer tosses an
electronic organizer belonging to Elaine out of a limousine that hits a
passerby on the head. Kramer struggles with his golf swing and sand.
While walking along the beach, George is called on to use his marine
biology skills to save a whale.
2. The Contest
George's mother throws her back out when she falls down after catching
him doing "you know." When George says he'll never do it again, Jerry
challenges him to a contest of self-denial, when he accepts, Elaine and
Kramer want in on the action, or rather the lack of it.
1. The Opposite
George comes to the realization that he should try to do the opposite of
everything, so he does, his luck changes and everything begins to go his
way including getting a girlfriend, a job with the Yankees and moving out
of his parents house. Things begin to be unlucky for Elaine after she
buys a box of "Jujyfruits." Kramer appears on Regis & Kathie Lee to
promote his coffee table book. Rachel wants to break up with Jerry and he
readily agrees, because his luck has been "even Steven." Elaine's eating
of "Jujyfruits" causes Pendant Publishing to go under, and later she
realizes that she and George have traded places.
