Other than that, this is a pretty lackluster episode. Some minor memorable moments from this episode, including Kramer’s idea to make your own pizza pie and Elaine wanting to go to a coffee shop but not talk. The episode is really lacking and closes out a mediocre Season 1. George takes the stock tip from a guy who knows something, Jerry sells too early and Jerry’s stuck in Vermont with the girl he staked out earlier who turns out to be somewhat crazy. One of the few episodes that ends up being a win for George and a loss for Jerry, literally. This is the first episode where ‘Lord of the Manor’ is used, but obviously not in the same way it is used in a later episode. A statue that is meant for George is stolen from Jerry’s apartment but the guy who stole it won’t admit he stole it yada yada yada Kramer steals it back. Season 2 was not as good as I remembered and this episode is a shining example. A couple of minor things I noticed were a reference to 129 West 81st Street but not as Jerry’s apartment and the saxophone at the start of the party is the same played several other times throughout the series, most notably (to me) while Elaine is on her date with Keith Hernandez. Their party is hosted by none other than Boston University grad Michael Chiklis and Elaine delivers her ‘maybe the dingo ate your baby’ line, but it’s otherwise a very mediocre episode. Jerry and Elaine get stranded at a party on Long Island after George goes home with someone from work. That to me might be the strangest moment in Seinfeld history – didn’t line up with the show at all for me. The whole episode just feels off, especially where Jerry has the nightmare he is being shot and killed by the FBI. Elaine wants to throw a baby shower to impress a ‘friend,’ while Kramer gets Jerry illegal cable. This episode was just – there.Īnother ho-hum episode at the start of the show’s run. Jerry gets robbed, thinks about moving into a new apartment, doesn’t. There’s no real peak to the episode though. Even slower start than the first two episodes but it does seem to build a bit near the middle. This episode was almost tough to get through as well – at least for an episode of Seinfeld. Sure, we see the awkward dynamic between Elaine and George where they have nothing to talk about except Jerry, but this is about as painful an episode of Seinfeld you will find. Just yelling at the stupid dog that you hate more than Jerry because the episode lacks a real plot. Note: The episode numbers are by the original air date This was, after all, a comedy, so the funnier the episode, the higher it will likely be. Every time, I felt like there was something wrong, something missing to the rankings.įinally, this list by Vulture forced me to go back and re-watch every episode from the start of the show’s run to the finish and rank every single one based on several key factors: how memorable the episode is as a whole, how many “big” moments it has that stand out from the entire show, how re-watchable the episode is if it shows up on TBS at 2 a.m.īut most importantly, how funny the episode was. I’ve read countless lists, seen dozens of brackets and had plenty of people tell me what they think are the best episodes of Seinfeld. However, I was so appalled by this list that I felt the need to make a list of my own. No two people will find the same exact things funny.
