And found the perfect opportunity to bring that whole incident back again and bite Jerry & his family in the ass (The woman that Jerry stole the Marble Rye from reappeared a few weeks later in The Cadillac where she was on the board voting whether or not to impeach Jerry's dad as President of the condo association)

Wed Jan 25, 2012, 01:51 PM

I remember that one was a classic. Jerry dates a woman with 'two-faces' (in certain lights she would look really hot and in others she'd look really ugly). Elaine accidently gave out her fake phone number (which was the number to an off-track betting place) on the back of some Hoagie frequent buyer club card to Jean Vest guy. And Kramer ended his strike against the Bagel shop because they finally gave him the raise he wanted (which ironically was because they raised the minimum wage - Kramer was on strike for almost a decade). And George decided for Xmas he would tell people that he made donations in their name to 'The Human Fund' (money for the people) a fake charity. He got caught when his boss decided to donate $20k to the charity and the accountants found out it didn't exist.

The one where Jerry is sitting in this man's office. The man has a heavy limp from some condition, then Jerry gets up to walk and finds that his legs/feet fell asleep, and limps heavily. The other man thinks Jerry's mocking him.

Anyway, great series. I must say: One of very few airings of broadcast entertainment that, even though it was very popular and talked about, was excellent.

George: So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys, I was terrified! But I pressed on and as I made my way passed the breakers a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things but I tell you Jerry at that moment I was a marine biologist! The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli! I got about fifty-feet out and then suddenly the great beast appeared before me. I tell ya he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence he gave out a big bellow. I said, "Easy big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling I realized something was obstructing his breathing. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!

Jerry: Mammal.

George: Whatever. Then from out of nowhere a huge title wave lifted, tossed like a cork and I found myself on top of him face to face with the blow-hole. I could barely see from all of the waves crashing down on top of me but I knew something was there so I reached my hand and pulled out the obstruction!

16. "The Burning"
Wed Jan 25, 2012, 02:47 PM
Jan 2012

From the last season, about 5th or 6th from the very end of the series, I believe.

This is the episode where Elaine finds out David Puddy is secretly a born again Christian, and they fight about whether she is going to Hell, Kramer and his buddy Mickey are working as actors portraying diseases for medical students, Jerry is dating Sophie, the woman with the mysterious "Tractor Story" in her background, and George is disgusted when he realizes that his entire world is turned upside down because HE is the responsible guy at work that is getting the job done, and all his boss, Mr. Krueger does, is goof off all day.

The best part -- when Elaine and Puddy go to see the priest about whether she is going to Hell because she hasn't been "saved", and he tells them that their both going to Hell for sleeping together outside of marriage.

Puddy: Alright, what did I do?
Elaine: David, I'm going to hell! The worst place in the world! With devils
and those caves and the ragged clothing! And the heat! My god, the heat! I
mean, what do you think about all that?
Puddy: Gonna be rough.
Elaine: Uh, you should be trying to save me!
Puddy: Don't boss me! This is why you're going to hell.
Elaine: I am not going to hell and if you think I'm going to hell, you should
care that I'm going to hell even though I am not.
Puddy: You stole my Jesus fish, didn't you?
Elaine: Yeah, that's right!
Elaine places her hands beside her head, index fingers raised as 'horns' and she emits a gutteral growling sound.

Loved the whole ASSMAN license plate plot in the Fusilli Jerry, and the Mr. Peterman/Aplocalypse Now part from the Chicken Roaster still makes me howl.

From wikipedia:

Season 9: A major controversy caused in this final season was the accidental burning of a Puerto Rican flag by Kramer in "The Puerto Rican Day". This scene caused a furor amongst Puerto Ricans, and as a result, NBC showed this episode only once.

the one where George gets a seriously ugly rug. Eventually Elaine pulls it right off his head and throws it out the window. At the very end you see a bald homeless guy putting on the rug!

throws David Puddy's "man fur" coat out the window and says "Goodbye, Dr. Zaius" -- the "man fur" is later used by Jerry to prove to the building super that he's an effeminate, insecure celebrity, to get Newman out of trouble for secretly dating the super's wife. "It's not a purse! Its' European!"

where Kramer discovers the warehouse store, buys huge cans of beans, feeds the beans to a horse he is using for a carriage ride.

That one, Soup Nazi and Sponge Worthy always make me laugh so hard. But most of them do.

The sickest episode, Bubble Boy.

Kramer finds the original set to Merv Griffin's TV show in a dumpster, brings it home, turns his apartment into a talk show.

Surreal, great...one of the best episodes.

Also like "Bubble Boy," "The Hamptons," "The Cheever Letters," and "The Opera."

But my all-time single favorite is the "Merv Griffin" episode.

to Japanese TV.

"I'd give you a ride but I've got Karl Fardman here"

"You've forgotten what's it like to have no oranges."

"Is this common in your legal system?"

"Him you brainwash? What's he got that I don't?"

Also, the Contest, and the one with Kramer/Turkey/Butter basting, and Muffin Tops....
