I contend that nobody can actually be offended about anything they made fun of throughout the series purely based on Judge Vandelay's ruling after the verdict:

I do not know how, or under what circumstances the four of you found each other, but your callous indifference and utter disregard for everything that is good and decent has rocked the very foundation upon which our society is built. I can think of nothing more fitting than for the four of youto spend a year removed from society so that you can contemplate the manner in which you have conducted yourselves.

Exactly. It's the whole point of the show. These are horrible people, granted different levels of horrible.

Yeah sorry I meant not just the gay humor, most of which was mild, but in general.

Some of it was in the stand up stuff Jerry did in the intro and outro to the shows. Maybe it gets a pass because of that. Just a little off color at times.

But there was also The Beard episode where Elaine tries to turn a gay man straight.

And some were more racist in content like the one where Jerry attempted to date a native American woman and called her an Indian Giver.

Kramer had a traveling asian man sleep in his dresser drawer. He also caused a riot in The Puerto Rican Day by burning their flag (accidentally) and chalked it up like it was another day in Puerto Rico.

In The Wizard Elaine can't figure out the race of the guy she is dating and thinks he is a light skinned black guy. And vice versa he thinks she is Hispanic. They end up being just white people.

Jerry claims he cannot be racist if he likes asian women.

It had its moments for sure. A lot of that would not fly today.

The Puerto Rican day episode immediately got a lot of hate and was pulled from reruns and syndication. I think they are showing it again now, but I haven't seen it since it originally aired, and I remember it being one of the worst episodes of the whole series.

You mistyped.

I fixed it for you.

Not even close, but whatever works for you. The entire last season had its moments but was a big step down. You are the first person I've ever seen say they actually liked that episode, let alone consider it one of the greats.

But I guess that's the good thing about Seinfeld, there is something for everyone.

The whole issue with Jerry and Lamar and the traffic disagreement

Elaine with the cab driver

Kramer becoming Pennypacker again so he can use a bathroom and the way he describes himself to the realtor

George being Vandelay to get to the bathroom

Jerry being Varnsen to watch the Mets game

Cedric and Bob showing up out of nowhere

Lamar yelling "hey jackass, get me a Diet Dr Pepper!" and Jerry yelling "Allllright". They are mad at each other but he's going to get him a drink anyway because they are all in this jam together

Kramer crawling into the Saab with the Puerto Rican family

The George/laser pointer guy bit isn't that strong but it does highlight how much of a moron George is to hang on to one zinger that isn't that funny. Kinda like "jerk store".

Understated is that Elaine unwinds by watching 60 Minutes like some kind of octogenarian

Only 5 people voted on best episode today so I'm going to lock it down at midnight and start the next round.

you guys suck.

Can't believe the Bubble Boy didn't get more love.

Here is the Sweet 16. Not gonna lie, there are a couple of matchups that I feel could be final 4 stuff.
I just went way down the rabbit hole on clips when I was supposed to be working. I suspect you might be about to do the same.

Link to vote for Sweet 16


#1 The Contest vs. 5 The Pothole



#3 The Rye vs. #15 The Summer of George



#1 The Marine Biologist vs. #13 The Yada Yada



#2 The Chicken Roaster vs. #6 The Opposite



#1 The Bizarro Jerry vs. #4 The Little Kicks



#6 The Muffin Tops vs. #10 The Shower Head



#1 The Soup Nazi vs. #4 The Hamptons



#6 The Cadillac vs. #10 The Merv Griffin Show

We've got a very solid sweet 16. But I think some clear winners in these matchups

Can you add the Season and Episode for each?

The Cadillac vs. The Merv Griffin Show, that was tough. Went with the latter though, for the sheer wit and scenes surrounding the Merv Griffin setup in Kramer's apartment.

These are both FANTASTIC episodes. Not really fair to put the Low Talker up against the iconic Marine Biologist in these early rounds.

I think I picked all of the underdogs that won except for The Comeback. That is one of my top 5 episodes

As I'm doing a rewatch after each episode I slot it in where I think it goes for an overall ranking. Currently I'm rewatched through S6E6. And those are 1 and 2 up to this point.

I'm not putting others on the list until I rewatch so all the storylines and jokes are fresh in my mind
