Quotes: "Yadda Yadda Yadda"

[Madding crowd]

I use Jerry's line "Why can't I know?" with my teenager all the time. I loved it that Jerry was going crazy with his date's refusal to try the apple pie. I've also used "You're not Penske material" for no real reason.

[ByTor]

Whenever I'm really, intensely hungry, I think of George saying "I can feel my stomach sucking up against my spine!"

I don't only think it, I actually say it :)

Kramer is driving a buggy alongside Central Park and as he points out the park to some overseas tourists, he says something like, "That's the park that Joe Pepitone built".

Don't forget...it was built during the Civil War so the Northern armies could practice fighting on grass!

[Iseut]

Kramer's "Oh there was an incident" gets used all too often in our house.

[ByTor]

The Little Kicks was on the other day, but my favorite line has nothing to do with Elaine or her dancing, it's actually Brody.  He's about to leave Jerry's apartment after asking him to film "Cry Cry Again" when he picks up a baseball bat.  Brody: "May I borrow this?"  Kramer: "Sure, do you need a glove?"  Brody: "No"  It cracks me up how bad guy Brody is so polite :)

We quote the Tor Eckman episode all the time - I am not a businessman... complete with hand motions.

Also - he's out, he got out!

Thanks for the reminder of one of my favorite scenes.  I remember the actor who plays Tor was also in Designing Women as a blase interior decorator who allowed crazy Suzanne to stay overnight in a design house and it burned to the ground.  Anyway, I just enjoyed watching the Tor Eckman scene:

Dude, that's Stephen Tobolowsky and he is EVERYTHING.

Am I right or am I right or am I right? Right, right!

[RedZoneTuba]

I use this one all the time when Mrs. Tuba and I are discussing going someplace: "I'll go if I don't have to talk."

[daisydonut]

Mrs. Seinfeld, I'm begging you, put the air conditioner ON!

Just like the cabin, it burned. To the ground. (TM Costanza)

 

I always loved that Tor Eckman scene but after I moved to Berkeley, it became even funnier.

[cherrypj]

Puddy voice: Yeah. That's right.

[TomGirl]

The entire episode on the overdue library book with "Mr. Bookman". He was hilarious, and made more so by Jerry's inability to keep a straight face.

[Portia]

I'm just gonna say it again: a muffin can be VERY filling.

[TomGirl]

"Look away! I'm hideous!"

[annzeepark914]

Don't have a quote but wasn't it Sue Ellen Mishkin who wore just a bra under her blazer to Elaine's office (to make the point that she heard about Elaine's comments about her going braless)?  I thought of Sue Ellen when I saw the photo of Susan Sarandon at the SAG awards...wearing a black "bra" under a white blazer.

[Inquisitionist]

Apparently, it's Mischke, but yes.

[annzeepark914]

Apparently, it's Mischke, but yes.

Thanks for the link.  That was interesting!  And I'd forgotten that she showed up in other episodes, especially the Indian wedding one.

"YOU'RE BALD!"

"Elaine and Susie, Susie and Elaine..."

"What is this salty discharge?"

[Winter Rose]

I absolutely love when everyone's confronting George after the fire, where he screamed and pushed everyone out of the way to get out of the building, he has all these BS answers to explain his actions then finally the firefighter just asks him "How do you live with yourself?"

And George just drops the act and answers "It's not easy."

[annzeepark914]

Well, I scored 22 out of 30 questions on the Seinfeld quiz so I'm no Seinfeld expert.  Love that show!

[Winter Rose]

GEORGE: It was like Rocky won.
 

GEORGE: It was at that moment that I decided to tell her that I was not a marine biologist.

JERRY: Wow. What did she say?

GEORGE: Told me to go to hell and I took the bus home.

[VCRTracking]

Watching a video of 60s British singer Matt Monro(From Russia With Love, Born Free) I immediately thought of this exchange from why Jerry didn't want to go with Elaine to see Mel Torme perform at a dinner:

Jerry: I can't watch a man sing a song!

Elaine: What are you, crazy?

Jerry: They get all emotional, they sway. It's embarrassing!

One of my favorite quotes that I use a lot comes from Elaine. "I had to take a sick day, I'm so sick of these people!" It's the one with all of the cakes at work celebrating anything and everything.

[SGfan]

From the same episode, I also always say, "Every day is somebody's special day." I just love this episode!

[Maharincess]

I always sing "Get well, get well soon we want you to get well" to anyone I know who is sick. 

My all time favorite quote is "he regifted, then he degifted then he used an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp".   I also say that to anyone I give a gift to, I just change it to " don't you regift, then degift...". 

[ByTor]

My sister and I were talking about how often times people get together for "couples" outings while the singles are kind of forgotten about.  It reminded me of one of my favorites, The Good Samaratin, with Elaine dreading going out to dinner with her married friends because of how they talk about (not an exact quote) "their married friends and their married furniture," then saying in a depressed tone "I have a very exciting life...it's very exciting."

"What drives me to take chances like that?" from the episode about the "tractor story" I just love the way Jerry Seinfeld says that line.

[Madding crowd]

I love the one where Elaine is dating the British sales guess because she wants a Nicole Miller dress. The guy has a pony tail and the way Jerry says " Pony tail-get real" always cracks me up. 

[ByTor]

I liked the little Jerry-Elaine exchange in that one:  J:"Have you slept with him yet?"  E:"I just met him this morning!" J:"It's been known to happen."

[TaraS1]

"Well, ya made a long journey from Milan to Minsk...."

"How was your day today?  Did you have a good day today or a bad day today?"  Michael Richards' delivery on that line is everything lol

"Gammy's dead."

In honor of today...

FRANK: It's a Festivus for the rest of us!

[Moose135]

[annzeepark914]

Happy Festivus, Frank!

[Maharincess]

I love Jerry Stiller but to me he's Arthur Spooner, not Frank Costanza.  

[ByTor]

Every time I see Jerry Stiller I think about him in the little intro video for Rush's 30th anniversary tour.  Love his reaction to "A Passage to Bangkok" :)

Elaine (takes sip of Snapple): God, this is terrible.

Jerry: Did you shake it up? 

Elaine: No.

Jerry: You gotta shake it up.

Elaine: No, I'm sick of shaking. You've got to shake everything. 

Jerry (picks up Snapple and shakes it as gently and slowly as possible): ...Yeah ... this is a real nuisance. This is killing me. 

(I actually use "nuisance" line a lot because my husband tends to get irrationally annoyed over things that are not really difficult at all. )
