George: It's about nothing.
Jerry: No story?
George: No, forget the story.

The Contest [S04E11] -

This is the episode of Seinfeld in which the characters actually have a Contest of who can last longer, without, ahem, doing something [let's just keep it to that]. A very controversial topic which was handled in a very non-controversial and hilarious way. The episode theme, is used till date by many sitcoms!


Jerry Seinfeld: But are you still "Master of your Domain?"
George Costanza: I am king of the county.

Jerry Seinfeld: It's like shaving.
Elaine Benes: Oh what a bunch of baloney! I shave my legs!
Cosmo Kramer: [while eating] Not everyday




The Implant [S04E19] -


Another "touchy" subject handled [pun intended] in a way never been seen before. Jerry dates a well endowed Teri Hatcher [Sidra] and is doubtful about the naturalness of, well lets just call them - "them". Some of the best lines in the episode were:


Elaine Benes: You've dated women with nose jobs before, so what's the big deal?
Jerry Seinfeld: You don't touch the nose, you don't aspire to reach the nose, you don't unhook anything to get to the nose and no man has ever tried to look up a woman's nostril!

Sidra: [referring to "them"] By the way, they're real, and they're spectacular!
