@@AxeIRad They referred to it as, "Master of your domain ." Kramer lost the contest first when he saw a naked woman across the street while he was looking out of Jerry's window.
mine is actually jerry. jerry acts like kramer after trading apartments for a night with the red light from the chicken shop. he walks in like kramer and does the whole set. it’s great. called “the chicken roaster” btw
I always enjoyed how they would turn someone's actions into a description of the person. There are so many. He's a re-gifter. She's a low-talker. He's an anti-dentite. He's a close-talker. He's a high-talker. She's a two-face. He's a sideler. Still hilarious after all these years. It never ages. Funny is funny. 🤣
Seinfeld will never not be hilarious....it's still so funny after watching it thousands of times over so many years....it's the greatest sitcom ever!!!!
Very funny. But wasn't ongoing. Jerry said later that the "not that there's anything wrong with that" line was added to make sure they didn't offend the gay community. I had always understood it as an ironic statement: nothing's wrong with it, as long as we're talking about someone else.
George casually walking away as Steinbrenner rambled on was a favorite. A few hand gestures but no way could George talk back to such a powerful and crazy boss.
Right up there with "The Best" anything! Not to mention Jerry/Kenny Banya's equally quirky relationship, and don't forget Jay Petterman and his personal drawn-out stories, which, in itself, were all about nothing! Then there were a lot of those -- "Yeah, that's right", or Kramer's "Giddy up", moments!
@@not-so-smartaleck8987 When Kramer commandeered the back of the fire truck that went to the fire at Leaping Larry's, that *was* a shame- and the best use of that line.
One that I've never seen addressed is Jerry saying he doesn't want to be something or someone in a whiny voice. Sure people remember "But I don't want to be a pirate!" but he did several more times over the show's run and no one ever seems to pick up on that gag. My favorite is, "I don't want to be a cowboy!"
Not running gags FFS. A running gag, or running joke, is a literary device that takes the form of an amusing joke or a comical reference and appears repeatedly throughout a work of literature or other form of storytelling. Though they are similar, catchphrases are not considered running gags.
Michael Richards is a superb physical commedian, both in his bizarre, manic motions and sound effects. If you pay attention, he kept coming up with different ways of doing it.
Another notable mention: The way George orders depending on what story is being told. Example: When Elaine found out David Putty was religious and told her she was going to hell. Hearing this story, George orders devils food cake.
"Did Jerry ever lock the door?" Yes, he did. In the episode The Opera, in season 4, when he is scared of Joe Devola. The result is that Kramer slams into the door.
Another running gag is when one of the characters, usually Jerry, would mutter someone's name under their breath to themselves in contempt when they did something he didn't appreciate. The one held in contempt isn't even in the scene at the time. Typically it would be Jerry muttering "Newman" on many occasions. But also both Elaine and George muttered "Jerry" or "Kramer" under their breath in several episodes.
8:44 Jerry's mother doing "hello Newman" was so funny and unexpected. Newman: "Jerry, I'm a little offended." Jerry: "Newman, you're not a little anything."
I've seen the entire series and now I feel like re-watching it. Also I feel silly for not realizing that George Steinbrenner was voiced by Larry David.
I like the episode with the red rooster sign where Jerry sleeps in Kramer's apartment because the light kept bothering Kramer. He then comes back in his own apartment sliding in like Kramer and acting just as wacky, LMAO. XD
George referring to himself in the 3rd person only really happened in 1 ep. What about Kramer taking food from Jerry in pretty much every ep. Hell the first episode he comes in holding 2 pieces of bread and asks '"you got any meat?" I believe those were one the first words he says in the show. One thing I loved was their comments on other people. "He's a re-gifter" "A bad breaker-upper" "She's a low-Talker" Or the constant one liners -Oh yeah the blind date. -They call it a set up, I guess blind people don't like be associated with all those losers -Women don't respect Salad eaters -Breaking up is like knocking over a Coke machine. You can't do it in one push. You gotta rock it back and forth a few times and then it goes over. -She Calls me up and my office. She says "We have to talk" -Ugh. The four worst words in the English language -That or "Whose bra is this?" -That's worse -Moles - Freckle's ugly cousin -Why do they make the condom packets so hard to open? -Probably to give the woman a chance to change her mind.
"He's a high-talker" Once a man left a voicemail for my mum on the phone, I said "some woman's left a message!" Didn't realise it was a man until my mum told me! Oops 😬 luckily he never found out
What's really funny about Kramer's entrances is that they often hint at some sort of super hearing and super speed. Something is said about something that might interest him and he bolts in immediately.
Kramer's entrances got the number 1 spot, even though the funniest one is actually him EXITING Jerry's apartment and being hit by Kenny Rogers Red Light
Oh they missed a great clip! Jerry did lock the door one time and it was hilarious! Kramer just slammed into it, comedic gold. The moment you hear the slam you know what happened.
It still amazes me every time I talk to someone that tells me that they did not like this show. My father being one of them. I have another friend that’s never seen an episode. I think I finally got him talked into binge watching it.
Thanks for explaining all the jokes. I wouldn’t have realized or understood the timeless humor in them otherwise! I’ve sat through this series 18 times with a straight face, but now I’m finally able to laugh as I watch it, thanks to you!
Man, I immediately thought, "Hello Newman" at 2?? What a waste!" But then I cracked up immediately when the first one came on. I love this show. It's perfect in its absurdity.
"3. Every opening had different music Having a catalog of sounds to choose from allowed Wolff to play different background noises for every show where Jerry did standup. “Every week, I have to match my music to fit the timing of his monologues,” Wolff said in a 1993 interview. “It’s the first time I’ve heard it happening that a main title has to be reconstructed weekly.” Listen for the different pacing next time-it’s the sound of Wolff’s samples being uniquely composed to fit each week’s opening."
Kramer’s giddy up, thats gold jerry gold, Rochelle Rochelle, uncle Leo’s hello, Dr van nostrand, “you shook my hand in that coffee shop”, how could somebody not like you, peterman rambling on than making a reference about clothes, Jerry’s ocd
Honorable mentions: Elaine dances like a freak, Jerry is an over the top germaphobe, Jerry sarcastically saying, "Oh, I like THIS idea.", George with, "I'm OUT!", "I'm IN!"
best Kramer entrance IMO is in The Contest when he bursts in, slams cash on the counter & just casually says "I'm out" :D
That's where the genius of the show really comes through. You know what joke is coming and yet he still delivers it in a way that make you laugh.
newageBoundhippie, what exactly was “the contest”?
Emma Ray they all bet how long they could go without masturbating

Pure Genius. They actually added words and phrases to the English language.☺
Don’t forget: George is a chucker
Good point, that should have been included 100%
Man hands lol
"Did Jerry ever lock his door?" Yes, and Kramer slams right into it on the other side. Its one of the best entrances of the whole series!
Jerry’s mom also with the “hello Newman” was genius.
ثثيييييييييييخاهتتتت

@Steve Hunt What about Cheers?
It’s my comfort show 🥰
Priest: "And this offends you as a Jewish person?"
Jerry: "No, it offends me as a comedian."
This list is gold Jerry. GOLD!
"I'm not gay! Not that there's anything wrong with that "😂😂😂
Shiny Arceus that was my first episode of Seinfeld, excellent introduction
Homophobia awesome, now we see the evolution of the world in this days
Joãozinho Fodilhao the joke is it’s not homophobic, also I’m sure if you’re homophobic or overly PC, but fuck you either way
"DO YOU WANNA HAVE SEX RIGHT NOW!" 😂

If I was stuck on an island and had to choose watch show to watch for the duration of my stay, I'd pick Seinfeld. This show had it all.
Can I join you? This show was awesome
i would say simpsons...too much episodes

You’re obviously Penske material. 👍🏼
DragonRider ... You posted that a year ago and still haven't fixed it. WTF?

A few hand gestures but no way could George talk back to such a powerful and crazy boss.
Kevin Moore Probably what a lot of Trump's lackeys do too. 😆😆
You're killing the Independent George !!
LOL
stardude2006 A George divided against himself cannot stand!!
Daniel A. LOL
Not 'the" independent George just Independent George. That's what made the line sound so funny!
You can leave out the definite article
+Grunthos Thank you, Mr. English teacher.
One that’s underrated: Jerry’s “That’s a shame.”
Meh... In terms of expressing sarcasm, I thought it was kind of a mediocre line.
Right up there with "The Best" anything! Not to mention Jerry/Kenny Banya's equally quirky relationship, and don't forget Jay Petterman and his personal drawn-out stories, which, in itself, were all about nothing!

They’re real, and they’re spectacular!
Sometimes when I think you are the shallowest man I've ever met, you manage to drain a little more out of the pool.
She was such a hot... desperate housewife! :-)
So there were some guys who watched that show (Desperate Housewives)
swear the only reason I watched desperate housewives was to see Eva Longoria
The only reason I watched Desperate House Wives was so I could turn it off when it started.
Serenity now!
Insanity later.
Festivus for the rest of us!

"You know my friend, Bob Sacamano?"
That's gold jerry, gold
Don't forget Lomez lol
Yeah, Sacamano was a constant presence, hehehe
This is one of my favorites lol
Saccomanno
Without question, still the greatest show ever! Never gets old no matter how many times I see it.
Kramer's entrances are legendary 😂😂😂
Yes, Jerry did lock his door, he was afraid of Crazy Joe Davola
Michael Richards is a superb physical commedian, both in his bizarre, manic motions and sound effects. If you pay attention, he kept coming up with different ways of doing it.
@@leroykevin - Yep, & it was funny as hell when Kramer hurt himself trying to crash in.
They were! I remember on the extras Michael Richards came through the door, I think he was concerned about a take, but they were still filming!
"Hello, Newman "is one of my favorite lines from Seinfeld
If your last name is actually "Newman"--or if you have a friend with that name--I imagine it would seem hilarious!
Not-so-smart aleck I had a teacher Mrs. Newman one time, she didn't take too kindly to the line. Safe to say I didn't ace that class...
Hello, Jerry.
And Jerry's Mom gave the best "Hello Newman".
“You kept making all the stops?”
“Well people kept ringing the bell!”
That’s my all time favorite line. That and when Kramer says “Giddy Up!”
"These pretzels are making me thirsty".
No, "THESE pretzels are making me THIRSTY!"
Chris Honkala "No that's no good. See, you don't know how to act"
This semen is making me thursty
Only one episode so not quite the running gag. But highly memorable!!
You know how to take reservations, you just don't know how to hold them. And that's really the most important part. Anyone can just take reservations.
The Sea was Angry at that day my Friends
Fullmetal Alchemist like an old man trying to return soup at the deli
Is that a Titleist?
The sea was angry that day. Not at that day perse
Read this laughed!!😂😂😂
Like an old man trying to send soup back at a deli.
Another notable mention: The way George orders depending on what story is being told.
Example: When Elaine found out David Putty was religious and told her she was going to hell. Hearing this story, George orders devils food cake.
Kramer coming in with the skinny jeans he couldnt bend his legs in was the greatest entrance of all time.
I'm the babysitter!
Ya I bought dungerees.
Kramer’s weird little sounds he made. Giddy up the classic but there’s a bunch more
*Yomama?*
He said it when he saw George's gf naked and obviously other times also but it's also a classic one.
In the coffee shop hiding from the Cubans lol
Iyeah
Man-Hands is NOT a small flaw.
"Make a wish..."
"Didn't come true." ☺
mands
Jerry: That's not a twist-off...
It's like a creature from greek mythology!
Elaine deeming men "sponge-worthy" or not was always a good laugh.
"Did Jerry ever lock the door?"
Yes, he did. In the episode The Opera, in season 4, when he is scared of Joe Devola. The result is that Kramer slams into the door.
He locked it a couple of times as well when he is with woman
Jerry took his spare key back from Kramer when Kramer kept letting himself into his flat. Jerry was locking the door then!
He locked it when George knocked over Bette Midler and Kramer opened up all the locks 😂
George smashing the phone after 'Uncle Leo?' 24 Carat gold.
It's gold, Jerry. It's gold.
Oh it’s gold baby
One of the best things about the old school phone--the slam!! And it never broke!!!
Uncle Leo : "I ask for a Asian girl! "
What about the fake movies, like Progonosis Negative, Rochelle Rochelle, and Chunnel? Also Kramer's friend Bob Sacamano?
Blame it on The Rain, Sack Lunch, Death Blow
If you Google "Fake Seinfeld Movies" you get a bunch of sites that list them and rank them.
Prognosis Negative wasn't a completely fake movie, it was written and planned, just never shot.
The English Patient
There’s a “Rochelle” street in the city where I live. Of course, to me, it’s always “Rochelle, Rochelle”
Man, I just finished watching the show a few days ago. Never thought I'd miss it this much after it's over.
I always wondered how Kramer paid for his apartment.
Gabe's Gaming It was sort of explained that he always found a way to “fall ass backwards into money” he always had a scam somewhere
He was a likable “Frank Gallagher”
he had a modelling career.
He worked as a Midnight Cowboy for his "manager," Bob Saccamano.
He only worked nights.
Another running gag is when one of the characters, usually Jerry, would mutter someone's name under their breath to themselves in contempt when they did something he didn't appreciate. The one held in contempt isn't even in the scene at the time. Typically it would be Jerry muttering "Newman" on many occasions.

NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!
Seinfeld is one of the best shows ever!
SupaPixelGirl it's not one of the best it is the best
i disagree with u. Seinfeld is the best show every made
It's hilarious still watch reruns
I think Married with Children is even better. Al Bundy flushes toilet in almost every episode although he never eats food.
lol! You sound like you're in junior high!
My god! You watch this top 10 running gags, and when it ends you think: god, theres sooo many more good ones! 😂😂😂😂best sitcom ever
8:44 Jerry's mother doing "hello Newman" was so funny and unexpected.
Newman: "Jerry, I'm a little offended."
Jerry: "Newman, you're not a little anything."
Forgot "that's a shame"
Right right right right right right right right right right!
I didn't think it was that funny.
I've seen the entire series and now I feel like re-watching it.
Also I feel silly for not realizing that George Steinbrenner was voiced by Larry David.
There was one episode were jerry locked his door and Kramer tried sliding in. Lmao I laughed so hard I was crying!
Michael Pavia lol i remember that i was laughing so hard lmao
I like the episode with the red rooster sign where Jerry sleeps in Kramer's apartment because the light kept bothering Kramer. He then comes back in his own apartment sliding in like Kramer and acting just as wacky, LMAO. XD
The episode where Jerry locked his door was when Crazy Joe Divola was after him.
Kenny Rogers roaster when Kramer and Jerry switched apartments.
Kramer: You look a little stressed
Jerry: *hand motion* oh, I'm stressed!
These pretzels are making me thirsty!
Jerry acting unchivalrously towards Elaine was always hilarious
When they were avoiding Frank in the city and Elaine was carrying Jerry’s groceries for him. “Just put em on the counter there.” 😂😂😂
Kramer is definitely my favorite character in television. He just has that X factor I always wish I had
So far the “Who is this?” Is my favorite 😂
George referring to himself in the 3rd person only really happened in 1 ep.
What about Kramer taking food from Jerry in pretty much every ep. Hell the first episode he comes in holding 2 pieces of bread and asks '"you got any meat?" I believe those were one the first words he says in the show.
One thing I loved was their comments on other people.
"He's a re-gifter"
"A bad breaker-upper"
"She's a low-Talker"
Or the constant one liners
-Oh yeah the blind date.
-They call it a set up, I guess blind people don't like be associated with all those losers
-Women don't respect Salad eaters
-Breaking up is like knocking over a Coke machine. You can't do it in one push. You gotta rock it back and forth a few times and then it goes over.
-She Calls me up and my office. She says "We have to talk"
-Ugh. The four worst words in the English language
-That or "Whose bra is this?"
-That's worse
-Moles - Freckle's ugly cousin
-Why do they make the condom packets so hard to open?
-Probably to give the woman a chance to change her mind.
George definitely did use 3rd person in at least 3 episodes. I agree about how the labeled other people LOL.. definitely should've been included
Great List!
"He's a high-talker" Once a man left a voicemail for my mum on the phone, I said "some woman's left a message!" Didn't realise it was a man until my mum told me! Oops 😬 luckily he never found out
Aw man, I was hoping Elain's dancing would be on this list.
I know, right?!!!
What's really funny about Kramer's entrances is that they often hint at some sort of super hearing and super speed. Something is said about something that might interest him and he bolts in immediately.
He's like a dog.
"No soup for you!"
Okay, so it wasn't a recurring trope, but the Soup Nazi had to be his most iconic single episode character of the entire series.
Did Jerry ever lock is door? YES! Yes he did and it resulted in one of the funniest Kramer "entrances" ever. You should add it to the montage!
Ah I remember. When Kramer was pissed that Bette Midler got hurt! 😂
Kramer's entrances got the number 1 spot, even though the funniest one is actually him EXITING Jerry's apartment and being hit by Kenny Rogers Red Light
I’m out there Jerry, and I’m loving every minute of it!
Oh no. You see what’s happening here? The only thing that’s separating him from us is a thin layer of gaberdine
Loved the Elaine and Puddy relationship.
Best Kramer entrance IMHO is his backless, twirl with George at the Yankees' dinner,
Oh they missed a great clip! Jerry did lock the door one time and it was hilarious! Kramer just slammed into it, comedic gold. The moment you hear the slam you know what happened.
I freaking loved this show, it was absolutely amazing
Called Kramer entrances at #1 😂 my favorite entrance was when Jerry threw something in the air and Kramer caught it as he slid in
"That's gold jerry! GOLD!"
It still amazes me every time I talk to someone that tells me that they did not like this show. My father being one of them.
I have another friend that’s never seen an episode. I think I finally got him talked into binge watching it.
The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli.
Still the greatest sitcom of all time
Thanks for explaining all the jokes. I wouldn’t have realized or understood the timeless humor in them otherwise! I’ve sat through this series 18 times with a straight face, but now I’m finally able to laugh as I watch it, thanks to you!
IKR!!
That beginning “How can we only pick 10” says everything great about this channel.
"Get Out" and "hello Newman" were my favourite too
Man, I immediately thought, "Hello Newman" at 2?? What a waste!" But then I cracked up immediately when the first one came on. I love this show. It's perfect in its absurdity.
I loved it when the TV George was nervous about his lines and he’s like ‘YOU GOTTA HELP ME JERRY!’ That was perfect.
I feel like the theme song itself would be a running gag.
It made me want to eat Pringles for some reason.
@@ironbowtie I always want to eat pringles
Nah, a theme song is just a theme song. How could it be a "gag"?

These pretzels... ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY
Love love LOVE this show even after all these years
"Not that there's anything wrong with it"🤣🤣🤣
Jerry locked his door when Crazy Joe Divola was after him.
Not a running gag, but definitely hilarious when Jerry's guard was up.
@@fromthehaven94 An answer to a question asked by the narrator.
Skip Rock And you hear Kramer slam into it
I think it also happened in Season 8 or 9 when Jerry was dating the girl exactly like him.
You know; explaining the joke usually kills it but the only reason this video isn't unfunny because Seinfeld is fantastic.
I DO remember one episode Jerry locked his door and Kramer tried to burst in but couldn’t. Hilarious 😂
Love this list- but I’d definitely add Bob Sacamano to this
Kramer’s giddy up, thats gold jerry gold, Rochelle Rochelle, uncle Leo’s hello, Dr van nostrand, “you shook my hand in that coffee shop”, how could somebody not like you, peterman rambling on than making a reference about clothes, Jerry’s ocd
im surprised the yad yad yad was not on the list or the vault also i really wish the cast will do one more episode that would be epic
or the "still master of my domain" bit
Wasn’t it “yada yada yada”...?
Superbly narrated.
Best TV show ever created.
"You know who loves funny stories? David Puddy!"
I kinda miss this show . No time for television anymore UA-cam has taken over life lol 👌
I see u in every secure team video
there are free sites that livestream that show 24/7, but I won't type it here or they'll think I'm a spammer
Did you hear that Seinfeld might be getting a continuation?
Jericho398 I doubt it. Jerry hasn't been interested in reviving the show and been very vocal about leaving it as is.
+H. Johal. Really, the series ran a couple seasons too long as it is. Seasons 8-9 weren't very good, as I see it.
One of the best shows ever made!
the puddy squint 😂😂😂
Ludmilla Ludmilla Yeah, that's right...
My favorite running gag was George lying about being an architect. I dont know why but I always laughed when he would say it.
"Does Jerry ever lock his door?" season 4, episode 19 - The Implant -- Kramer slams into Jerry's locked door.
It was hilarious when George told that happy chubby kid to "beat it" 😂😂
"You're giving me the it's not you it's me routine?" .."I invented it's not you it's me routine."
The man hands cracking that lobster gets me everytime. Same with "Who is this?"
ahahaha, I love the "Who is this".. "Uncle Leo?"
I love that show. Comedy Central started showing it and now I can't get enough of it.
how about SUPERMAN references????????
Kept waiting for them to reference it too.
nnnGiddy up! 👍
adddCat Fight!!
Yup Giddy Up is definitely one of Kramer’s classic lines!
¿How can we narrow it down to 10?
Best critique ever made on a UA-cam comedy top 10.
Thanks for SO MUCH Seinfeld.
Sponge worthy and "not that there's anything wrong with that" are my favs..runner up "I don't want to be a pirate"
Not to mention the one you didn't mention, the "same dress" lady. I would absolutely HAVE to know what was happening there.
George: We’re living in a SOCIETY!
The way Elaine danced 😆
A great list and set of clips from one of my favorite shows!
Long live Seinfeld!!!
:)
"Yeah thats right"
JERAY!!

Honorable mentions: Elaine dances like a freak, Jerry is an over the top germaphobe, Jerry sarcastically saying, "Oh, I like THIS idea.", George with, "I'm OUT!", "I'm IN!"
Cool series 😁
