welcome to the best of WatchMojo in this
series we’re turning back the clock to
show you some great early videos from
the channel that you might have missed
it may have been a show about nothing
but it had a lot to say welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten
Seinfeld quotes for this list we’ve
chosen the best and most memorable lines
from the history of the show Seinfeld
well let’s start the insanity video
we’ve decided to leave off less commonly
quoted lines as well as concepts that
may or may not have originated on the
show you know it I know what vegetable
lasagna here knows it and which have
found a place in our collective
consciousness but may not be used in
everyday life he recycled this gift
he’s a regifter number 10 these pretzels
are making me thirsty
when Kramer’s unique charisma manages to
gain the attention of famed director
Woody Allen he’s given a line in one of
his movies and he is gonna get
everything he can out of it and I said
no with woody and I say I turned the
woman I go ah boy these pretzels are
making me thirsty
is that how you’re gonna say it this
line is made all the more memorable by
the fact that Kramer not only repeats it
multiple times but also tries to get the
entire crew to chime in as well don’t
like this these pretzels are making me
thirsty
the especially overwrought version
uttered by George will always stay with
us making this a phrase we never fail to
utter whenever we’re eating something
salty number nine and you want to be my
latex salesman what type of company is
that latex latex manufacturing so when
George is cornered by his unemployment
officer he invents a position he was
attempting to get at a made-up company
with Jerry’s phone number it’s a very
small industry Vandelay it’s one of the
reasons I wanted to work for their phone
number like many of the lines on this
list
it’s the circumstances surrounding this
line that make it all the more legendary
and what do I say about you you’re
considering hiring me for your latex
salesman I’m gonna hire you as my latex
salesman right
don’t think so coming in the final
seconds of the first part of this
two-parter season 3 episode what delay
industries with George’s pants firmly
around his ankles Kramer answers the
phone and unintentionally destroys his
friends ruse setting the scene for this
laugh out loud line courtesy of Jerry
and you want to be my late Tech sale
number eight but are you still master of
your domain care to make it interesting
the core of one of the most
groundbreaking episodes of any show ever
this perfectly crafted line ensured the
foursome never had to actually say the
word masturbation in an episode that
centers on the concept I come home and
find my son treating his body like it
was an amusement park but we all knew
what they were talking about so you’re
still master your domain yes netting
Larry David his only solo Emmy for
writing this particular episode was also
chosen by TV Guide as the greatest TV
episode of all time
we don’t think any of that well-deserved
praise would have been possible had this
line not become a virtual catchphrase
but are you still master of your domain
I am king of the county you lord of the
manor number seven a Festivus for the
rest of us Frank
invented a holiday so prolific when
Frank Costanza realized he was raining
blows down upon another man over a doll
he was trying to buy for his son for
Christmas he decides there has to be
another way it was destroyed the result
is a new holiday and a classic Seinfeld
blind to boot George if they’re getting
how much Festivus has meant to us all
perhaps it’s the catchy rhyming nature
of it all or Jerry Stiller’s outstanding
crazy sounding delivery but whatever it
is we know that hearing this quote
always brings a smile to our faces no
holiday was born a Festivus for the rest
but the airing of grievances begin I got
a lot of problems with you people
number six but I don’t want to be a
pirate well that was a good one we’ve
all been in the situation where we just
can’t make out what someone is saying
but we don’t want to ask them to repeat
it yet again sure so we play along
despite having no idea what is happening
when Jerry finds himself in that
situation and as a result is coerced
into wearing an ugly puffy shirt like
the Pirates used to wear on the Today
Show no less his whiney and almost
infantile response says it all
I agreed to wear this yeah despite
empathizing with his situation we can’t
stop laughing at his desperation to
escape his fate and it’s all perfectly
encapsulated in this one sentence you’re
gonna be the first pirate number 5
sponge worthy I tell you I think birth
control should be discussed in an open
forum when her favorite form of birth
control is discontinued Elaine manages
to score a case of them sponges but
decides to use them judiciously
here’s another instance where the
Seinfeld writers deftly handled a sticky
situation at least when it comes to
network TV and took the opportunity to
create an hysterical scene in which
Elaine’s potential lover is grilled
about what makes him worthy of coitus I
just couldn’t decide if he was really
sponge worthy sponge worthy an
incredibly memorable quote for any fan
of the show this one’s skillfully
sidesteps potential controversy and is
just really funny so you think your
sponge worthy yes I think I’m sponge
more than I think I’m very sponge
number four yada yada yada so speaking
of exes huh
my old boyfriend came over late last
night and yada yada yada
I’m really tired today Georgia’s latest
girlfriend has a tendency to leave out
the juiciest parts of any story instead
opting to include and further
popularized this infuriating substitute
phrase you want to say goodbye I was
just getting out of the shower and yada
yada yeah you know that a quote worked
perfectly when a line that first may
have come to prominence in the 1950s or
even earlier becomes most connected to
your show in the mind of the public
decades later I met this lawyer we went
out to dinner I had the lobster bisque
we went back to my place yada yada yada
I never heard from him again
what’s he yada-yada it over the best
part no I mentioned the bisque named by
the Paley Center as the funniest TV
phrase of all time we thought about
including it and then yada yada yada
here it is
yada yada yada I’m really tired today
what do you think she was tired from
well obviously the yada yada number
three no soup for you hey Jerry I didn’t
know you liked soup hard to believe this
guy makes the best soup in the city
Jerry the best of all the guest stars on
Seinfeld there is perhaps none more
well-known than the Soup Nazi the head
of a restaurant specializing in soup who
has militant views of what is acceptable
of his customers you want bread yes
please three dollars nothing for you
strict and kinda hostile this
mustachioed chef won’t hesitate to take
away your precious bisque or
mulligatawny if you so much as order the
wrong way does anyone ever tell you you
look exactly like Al Pacino you know son
of a woman the Soup Nazi and his most
acclaimed quote became so massive they
spawned several commercial appearances
I’ll throw in the Soup Nazi soup for you
and a cameo on an episode of scrubs for
the actor Larry Thomas I gotta go
oh he is so the Soup Nazi trick him what
is it again it’s like you’re out of luck
in the soup Department no soup for you
right
number two serenity now serenity now
another creation associated with
George’s outrageous father Frank
serenity now was supposed to serve as a
calming influence for the eccentric man
and his escalating blood pressure
instead when he screams it at the top of
his lungs it’s upsetting for his wife
and hilarious for the audience sit
sideways like an animal
so eventually spreading outside that
Costanza family to Cosmo Kramer to
varying degrees of success of course
anger it just melts right off we’re told
serenity now insanity later I heard they
found a family in your freezer serenity
now sanity later but we think it’s more
like serenity now
hilarity always before we reveal our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions
three squares you can’t spare three
square no I don’t have a square to spare
oh I can’t spare a square the women know
about shrinkage what do you mean like
laundry no like when a man goes swimming
afterwards it shrinks oh this guy used
to live in the building they keep
calling us to see the baby you got to
see the baby when are you gonna see the
baby if they just send us a tape
and by the way they’re real and they’re
spectacular
you know George the ocean called they’re
running out of shrimp
[Laughter]
well the jerks dahhh called they’re
running out of you
number one not that there’s anything
wrong with that you know just because
you two are homosexual so you should
just come out of the closet and be
openly gay already in an episode that
Jerry Seinfeld himself has stated
Lampoon’s both homophobia and extreme
political correctness this particular
quote has the kind of dual meaning and
layers that ensure its place at the top
of our list we knew you were
eavesdropping that’s what my friend said
all that was on purpose we’re not gay
not that there’s anything wrong with
that not desiring to be wrongfully
identified as homosexual nor perceived
as homophobic Jerry and George
strenuously deny the gay rumors that dog
them in this GLAAD Media Award winning
episode by uttering this line at every
turn plus it’s identified by Jason
Alexander as the most popular
catchphrase in the series history so who
are we to disagree with that everyone’s
gonna think we’re gay not that there’s
anything wrong with that
[Applause]
do you agree with our list
that’s gold which Seinfeld quote do you
think is the king of the castle stuff
your sorries in a sack mister it’s an
expression for more funny top 10s
