*"Not that there's anything wrong with that!"* 😅

[@lynnevetter]

I love Jerry's whining. "I don't want to be a pirate!" 🤣 And when George calls Jerry freaking out and Jerry says "Who is this??" "Uncle Leo?!"

[@atagamedev]

JERRAY!!!

[@amitmeir8109]

A couple honourable mentions: -Uncle Leo's "JERRY!!! HELLO!!!" -George's obsession with being bald -Jackie FREAKING Chiles

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

*"This is the most public of my many embarrassments!"* 😩 -- *Jackie Childs*

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

*The Drake* always cracked me up, and it stretched throughout seven seasons. 😁

[@nick6var]

I hate the Drake. 😂

[@ct_cartoonist53]

I love everything about the Seinfeld series. I think my favorite episode would have to be when they are waiting to be seated at a Chinese restaurant. The episode takes place in that lobby of the restaurant. It's Perfect

[@marcelomoura5644]

You want a piece of me? You got it!

[@nick6var]

I think Jerry started locking the door when he was worried about 'crazy Joe' DeVola.

[@TheNaturalPatHarris]

“Not that there’s anything wrong with that..”

[@nicktaylor2657]

George: Remember it's not a lie if you believe it 😊

[@Obsessedwithcookies758]

Elaine and Puddy breaking up, and of course, who can forget Kramer’s entrance?! Edit: Not to mention, “Hello, Newman.” And George’s eating habits.

[@fromthehaven94]

There were three in the Butter Shave episode when they're stuck with each other going back to NYC from Oslo on a 22 hour flight.

[@Joeshoki]

George and Kramer are the best characters of the show!

[@petermiller4953]

George agrees that George is the character on the show! Kramer is funny too, but George is still funnier

[@LegendMkr7]

It's a shame Kramer ended up doing a racism.

[@Joeshoki]

@@LegendMkr7 He fucked up big time man it's a damn shame

[@Joeshoki]

@petermiller4953 the way he overreacts is funny as hell

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

My favorite was *Jackie Childs* and the many cases Kramer messed up! 😅😆

[@twoodbeats]

The "uncle leo?" one to George and the "who is this?" Elaine did to Jerry were the best "who is this?" joke

[@keren.icehand]

Love this show🤣💜👍

[@truthhurts3524]

Bob Sacamano I believe was first mentioned in “the heart attack” episode. While George is in the hospital for a suspected heart attack. Kramer comes into the room, trying to convince George not to have a procedure done at the hospital. Explaining, my friend, Bob Sacamano, he came in here for a hernia operation.. Oh yeah, routine surgery.. now he's sittin' around in a chair by a window going, "My name is Bob"

[@teenkitsune]

You forgot Art Vandalay, how could you forget Art Vandalay?

[@cfssuperhero]

Exactly. It's THE running gag. 😅

[@cfssuperhero]

You forget the best running gag of all: THE ALIASES. 👉 Art Vandelay. Pennypacker. Kel Varnsen. Dr Van Nostrand... 😆

I'm 48, and when I was a teenager my house was the hangout spot, and Thursday nights were always the best due to Seinfeld(other than weekend parties and chasing girls)

[@krishnachaitanya4474]

i tell ya, seinfeld's the best thing happened in 20th century

[@fromthehaven94]

The Race episode is classic not just for Superman. It's the defacto Xmas episode of season six, and thanks to Elaine's boyfriend in that episode, we get a lesson on economics.

Kramer’s Crazy Entrances and how people say hello to Newman

[@MrBiggles53]

The sea was angry that day, my friend.

[@rockingbeat]

My mom always called it The Kramer Show

[@gwae48]

"ART VANDELAY"😅😅😅😅😅😅. Hilarious in any context.

[@johnseelinger9803]

I was told that in one episode of Seinfeld, Jerry changed his locks to prevent Kramer from entering his apartment, but Kramer managed to pick the locks.

[@kittylover62]

I recently watched an episode where Jerry had multiple locks on his door and Kramer unlocked every one of them (he somehow had a copy of every key)

[@TexasRibeye817]

Great list, thought saying “uncle Leo” would be on the list

[@bearsz101]

Newman!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

This series was a riot😂😂😂😂😂

Fake Steinbrenner at no. 5? What's better than that? WatchMojo: Hello Newman.😂

[@joermnyc]

Jerry did lock his door once when he had a girl over, but Kramer still didn’t take no for answer.

[@nickschuman4652]

My last name happens to rhyme with Newman. I’m sure you can tell how people say hello to me

[@NukeMolecule]

How is "yeah, that's right" nowhere to be found on this extensive list? Should be #1.

[@TheVictorroque]

Serenity Now

[@nosferatu6385]

When are they gonna do a top ten Cosmo Kramer moments?

[@harsyakiarraathallah2222]

If Seinfeld Reference Superman a lot, then we at a Time like this we need a Sitcom to Reference Batman and Spider-Man.

[@Merylstreep1949]

I'm surprised they never made a gag on how much Elaine looked like Andie Mac Dowell

[@Lemont115]

"Let not show honorable or dishonorable mentions like we used to, let's instead beg for subs another time before the end, because several times isn't enough throughout a 20 minute video!" - Watchmojo

Exactly 🙄

[@NeilFisher49]

Easily Kramers entrances

[@robertcheiffetz3886]

George's obsession with parking spaces

[@jabberwock6]

he locked his door in the understudy episode but kramer had a ring of keys

[@aerolite767]

what's the music used in the background of this video ?

[@michaelthreepeat]

Seeing Hello Newman as 2 makes my heart bleed

[@ellnats]

kramer had a thought for a make your own pizza place? should i tell him about blaze pizza?

[@Mos41f]

There's another running gag that is so subtle that only hardcore Seinfeld fans would notice. Elaine could never stand George being happier or better than her. There were numerous instances where her jealousy was evident like that time she didn't want George to get married. She went out of her way to sabotage George's dates several times. She didn't want George to wear a toupee when he started attracting women lol. There were also numerous instances where she outright mocked George about his shortcomings to his face. There was even that time when Elaine was jobless, without a lover, money etc. that she compared her fate to being worse than George 🤣

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

When Elaine snatched the toupee off George's head, ran to the window and yelled, *"I don't like this thing!!! And here's what I'm doing with it!!"* and then throws it out the window, trapping George when the window seal falls down, that Still cracks me up even though I haven't seen it in a long time! 🤣😅😂🤣😆

[@nick6var]

Maybe, just maybe, she really likes George.🤔

[@jasoneaster6979]

1 and 2 could've been interchangeable

[@anisezettecarey2448]

I Thought Elaine’s Dancing Was Cute

[@seanpanigel5494]

Yes, the "hello newman" one is very iconic, but I personally prefer the "Newman!" Whisper Jerry does whenever an unfortunate occurrence happened to him, caused by Newman. Like when Jerry's long time barber got Jerry's hair samples from Newman, and jerry quitely went: "Newman!" I think this running gag should have been on the list.

[@joelspringman523]

I like spaghetti. Not a big fan of bees. Not embarrassed to admit that.

[@Lemont115]

Seeing your views on your videos makes me think "begging for subs doesn't work All it does is make people NOT want to watch a video filled with it" But channels going downhill like this one rarely acknowledge the complaints until they are firing people due to them shutting down... Used to be a decent top 10 list channel. Now it's less than okay with A LOT of sub begging.

[@johnpappas5413]

Thank God someone else out there is honest. This video sucked. I turned it off in the first minute.

[@waillalhourani1570]

Seinfeld is the berst show on Earth.

[@nothingnessinitspeak2086]

🙌

[@AlexM-mr8of]

Add Uncle Leo helloooooooo

[@gryphonlaw2138]

Seinfeld kinda looks like Pete Davidson

[@RayPruitt-ji9jx]

Was your favorite running gag not on this list? That's a shame.

[@3rdman99]

The thumbnail of this video is absolutely disgusting. I told KZbin not to recommend your channel because I keep seeing that picture on my KZbin all the time.

[@toolguyslayer1]

I'm sorry it's all about Kramer if it weren't for them are they wouldn't have anything to stand on comedy was there basically stating what history was like Jewish people with too much money and power at a young age they are a perfect example of why they don't allow just anybody in the into power they have driven companies into the ground just for the fun of so they could tell their friends that they finally did something today and if it doesn't work out they will lie about it in their favor this is one of the reasons why certain people had certain issues and they would get other people to stand in the line for death and torture in their place with no morals involved it's a slight variation on the Lord of the flies

[@jorgeadairramos7469]

I'm posible que no te preocupes por el momento no sé si

[@eldragonrojo42069]

Anyone else think Seinfeld just wasn't actually any good?

[@gwae48]

He himself wasn't that great.

[@toolguyslayer1]

This is kind of a perfect example was wrong with the rest of the world people like this playing and high-powered positions that they have no idea about and they have no idea about the damage they are doing too much lying and deception that's why I certain people were seriously upset in the early and they know it's wrong but the thing is they're putting it out there so that's kind of good and I have noticed they sell them ever shown any type of and if they do show expression it is a weird sort of awkward thing like a machine or an alien 👽 barada klepta😮😊😅😂o nikto

[@Hilz28]

What in the ever-loving world are you talking about? 🤦

[@toolguyslayer1]

@@Hilz28 that's what Seinfeld is all about write lies chicks and deception for the fun of it like little kids with a lot of money liar way into something and then when things go wrong blame it on somebody else they make it seem like a it is a Jew-ish thing even stole the Jew history hitlery kept them to maintenance middle of this it wasn't to kill them it wasn't your torture them nor any of that but when you are dealing with an army and you run out of good people which probably happened pretty often being that they were getting shot at but I pretty much everybody the wisdom and respect you had today to draw from is gone tomorrow because certain people are doing too much while representing you they catch you yelling going over the top at somebody and that becomes political fodder to take you down with kind of like when you are texting someone and they don't get the full picture because you can't use your attitude and they don't hear the tone of your voice so they have to kind of use their imagination about what's going on Mass paranoia sound familiar it's been around and things have been done like that for a long time but we are all waking up now all of us 😎

[@YoungIroh]

I'll be the outlier. Friends is funny. Seinfeld is not

[@StanHalen1936]

I see you and raise you that neither are funny.

[@grantfraser5430]

Did Jerry ever lock his door? That was the best part of that gag, when Kramer tried his usual entrance only to find the door locked one time.

[@jabberwock6]

in the episode the understudy jerry did lock his door but kramer had multiple keys

[@seanpanigel5494]

In Jerry's defense, the breaking up with the man hands women is fair. It's not exactly a turn on when a women has man like body parts, whatever ones. I think there were far more ridiculous reasons he broke up with women, and to list one of the few pretty justified reasons as one of the only 3 examples you gave, you could have picked a better one.
