Hear a familiar voice? That’s Larry David sputtering, “Someone tell me what she said! What did she say?” “The Opposite” Kramer doesn’t appear because, at the time, he supposedly never left his apartment. Yada, Yada: The episode is a rarity in that it unfolds on a single set and in real-time. After all, it’ll just be 5 or 10 minutes, right? That’s the whole premise. Jerry, George, and Elaine head out to a Chinese restaurant without a reservation. “No soup for you!” is the episode’s classic line. Yada, Yada: Jerry and Newman actually get along for a few seconds, which is the Seinfeld equivalent of the Eagles reuniting or the brothers from Oasis not yelling at each other. Amusing B-stories include Elaine’s pursuit of an armoire and Jerry and George’s interactions with their respective girlfriends, all of which eventually intersects with the Soup Nazi storyline. Elaine refuses to play by the rules, infuriating the Soup Nazi, and George almost makes it through, at least until a lack of bread proves to be his undoing. Anyone who doesn’t simply order their soup and properly pay is admonished, refused soup or banished. The proprietor of the hot new soup kitchen is so prickly that customers refer to him as The Soup Nazi.

Series creator Larry David won an Emmy for writing “The Contest.” Also in the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode “Shaq,” Shaquille O’Neal plays a fictionalized version of himself who is obsessed with this episode. The iconic line, “Master of my domain” originated in this episode.
Yada, Yada: Estelle Harris makes her first appearance as George’s mom, Estelle. The rest of the episode follows our favorite quartet as they bet on themselves not doing THAT. She had a Glamour magazine sitting around and, well, you know the rest. Jerry asks George, “What’s wrong?” George, as only George can, explains, “My mother caught me.” Yes, caught him doing THAT. It starts simply with Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer at the diner. Giddy-up! “The Contest”įor our money, this is the single funniest of all Seinfeld episodes. They’re not all the best, but those ones you must see. That’s why the pilot and the finale, the former of which is fine and the latter of which is meh, are on the list. Please note, we’re including both some of the best episodes, but also a few essential ones, too. To mark Seinfeld’s imminent arrival on Netflix, Fatherly is here with our thoughts on the 13 essential episodes of Seinfeld. And that continued for years, with Seinfeld ultimately running for nine seasons before calling it quits in 1998.

Though we’re used to limited-run seasons now ( Loki) It’s hard to imagine such a short TV season back in the day, but by 1991, Seinfeld became must-see TV, with fans dissecting every episode, every joke. An NBC exec supported a pickup, and NBC ordered a four-episode first season. NBC didn’t elect to go to series with the show. Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld’s show about nothing debuted inauspiciously in July 1989 with a single episode that hardly anyone watched actually, 15 million people tuned in, a massive number by today’s standards, but paltry at the time. But what are the episodes you should actually watch? What are the best Seinfeld episodes? Which are the most essential, and series-defining moments? Netflix spent a whopping, even sponge-worthy $500 million for the rights to stream Seinfeld, and all 180 featuring Jerry and the gang (Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards) will debut on October 1, 2021.
