Favorite Seinfeld Episodes - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Schmoopie · 08-30-2008, 07:29 AM

I looked through most of the threads on this board and couldn't find one topic about this! I know it's out there somewhere, but let's start a new one.

I haven't watched them all (again) yet, but so far my favorite episodes are:

The Deal
The Bus Boy
The Pen
The Robbery
The Heart Attack
The Bubble Boy
The Soup Nazi (my very favorite!)

So what are your favorites?

That was a GREAT impersonation of Kramer!

And Jerry says he can't act!

As for me, I found another one. I love The Airport. That was hilarious with Elaine stuck in coach and Jerry and that woman being pampered in First Class. My... air travel sure has changed!

I have never been able to enter an airport without thinking about the "Cart People".

Schmoopie · 09-05-2008, 08:19 PM

I'm adding some more....
The Visa is pretty funny. Loved seeing Babu again. I watched the "Inside Looks" on this episode and the actor who portrayed Babu is NOTHING like the character. He doesn't even have an accent! I found a slight "flaw" in this one (although I'm being picky here).
Spoiler ahead..........
............................
............................
............................
At the end when Babu gets deported back to Pakistan, they showed him talking to another man at a cafe-IN ENGLISH. You'd think that if they were in their own country, they would be speaking their own language!
Not a complaint, though. Just one of my ridiculous observations!

Another one that's good is "The Movie" where the foursome can't seem to meet up and Jerry misses his set! I loved when Elaine was trying to describe Kramer to the ticket taker and George was trying to describe Elaine! I'll have to find some quotes, because I was

!

And of course the classic "The Outing" episode which was hysterical! Especially at the end with Kramer "He's the phone man!"
Then Jerry's stand up at the end, suggesting that people imitate a vacuum cleaner to say someone is gay!

Actually, not necessarily. Pakistan used to be part of India, and is a former British possession. So a lot of people in Pakistan speak English as a second language or even as a first language. And there are different ethnic groups in Pakistan that speak different languages than the official language of Urdu, so if Babu was speaking to another man whose first language was different than his (Pashtun instead of Urdu, for example), it would be logical that they would use English to communicate.

That makes sense. I was hesitant about posting that comment anyway because I didn't want to offend anyone. I was just kind of surprised that they didn't use subtitles, being that they were in another country. Just one of my stupid observations.
If I did offend anyone with that comment, I am truly sorry!
