Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!

That, and the finale when they come close to having some sort of revelation while the plane was going down, only to be interupted when the plane leveled off. Never mentioned again, not even in a sort of awkward, mumbling way. While I really think the finale was a let-down, I did appreciate that they didnt go that far

Alright, butterbean, we're stepping it up a notch.

Poor, pitiful George. That means he either never had sex until his mid-twenties, or he had some very awkward, uncomfortable sex

THAT was quite possibly the dirtiest thing ever on Seinfeld. Mouth full of 'pastrami' indeed!

Yeah, I think as early as the second or third season (which ever one was the one with the lady from Friends who almost got pregnant with George's defective condom that Kramer gave him), it was established that George was a veracious eater, so it's only natural that he would get to the point of combining food and sex.

It is the most sensuous of the salted, cured meats

Will, I think the really point was that at this time the show was probably getting some flak from moralist types who complained that the characters were too mean. Basically, it wouldnt be a comedy show without that.

I'm not your buddy, guy!

@mratfink Ah, the half-heard phone conversation, one of my favorite comedy bits. My favorite versions of that bit are from here, and the Simpsons: "How could it be the same role if instead of a tightly 'round convience store clerk, I'm a jittery Eskimo fireman?"
"Uh-huh…uh-huh…will I guess that makes sense."

I'm usually not one to partake in the sometimes excessive Sims bashing on the messageboards, but this one really pissed me off: "There’s absolutely nothing to this plotline except that the writers obviously realized how funny Lloyd Bridges was as Mandelbaum"

It does not matter if the Glengarry Glen Ross parody is timely; it's just a fuckin' awesome movie. Did anyone complain when the Simpsons would make regular Citizen Kane, Godfather, or Shinning references? No, they're just classic, timeless movies that are part of the pop culture lexicon now. If Seinfeld were around

Mine would be Nathan Rabin, Mangler of Sentences!

Doing the Wal-Mart

Nah, just stop watching before by seasons 7 or 8. By all means do NOT watch season 9.

The very reason why it was so so much better than the sitcoms of today.

Eh, not as bad as Jason Alexander growing a bunch of hair

Abortions for some!

I still have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Whose this "they" you're refering to?

What'd ya got, a Clarkman?
