The best Seinfeld episodes have a few things in common. The Contest might epitomize those things better than any other episode in the Seinfeld catalogue. Jerry, Elaine, Kramer and George participate in what would end up being one of the most famous competitions ever put to TV. It also happens to put on display exactly what makes Seinfeld special.

What is the best sitcom of all time? Best animated show?
Also huge shoutout to GC for the intro and intro beats!
Family Guy got Big Bang Theory correct, no 1 cared.
Still dont
Love the social network music. Any chance we could see your thoughts on The Venture Bros?
Seinfeld showed Big Bang Theory how to be funny and it didn't listen. Great video.
I watched Sunny before watchingh Seinfeld, so throughout my run of the show, I kept noticing just how much Sunny took from Seinfeld in terms of character writing, but also how they managed to jump that up a notch. They argue the same, but Sunny often ends up yelling or insulting each other and I think that's the perfect example of the similarity in both shows.
"The Climax"… pun intended?
Underratedly funny episode: the pool guy
Trent Reznor's music works with everything
The circularity is also visible in how it brings even it’s tertiary characters again in subsequent episodes. There are many, but an astounding example is of “Mike” the guy who fought over the parking space with George (in the 1st Season) reappering in the 7th Season!
There are so many good ones that follow this perfect formula. The episode with loyd Braun and the movie theatre was just perfect. I got it from the institute!
I really need to see your essay discussing the intricacies of the writing on Seinfeld.
Best sitcom of all time, no contest.
whats the music in the back ground it sounds like "Paul Leonard-Morgan 'Trading Up' LIMITLESS" but without the drums
Huge Seinfeld fan. As outrageous as this episode was, it isn't even in my top 20 favorite episodes.
The background music on your videos is always fire.
You mentioned relateability of the characters. I guess that is why Seinfeld never worked for me. I was unable to relate to these characters. For me, they were simply dumb people acting dumb, and I wasn't (and still am not) interested in that.
Please stop saying climax
Stupendous! Since you did ChalkZone and other cartoons, you should do the award winning Soup2Nuts animated show WordGirl. Includes the voices of Tom Kenny, and Ad Asner The PBS kids video app has footage. The show has retrospective views that fit the content of your amazing channel.
The scene where Elaine walks in and smacks the money down on the counter… absolutely brilliant
Seinfeld > Friends.
The Big Bang is garbage lol
Seinfeld & The Cosby Show are the only sitcoms I love ❤.
The biggest difference between Seinfeld and Big Bang Theory is that they are designed to appeal to very different audiences. Seinfeld deliberately targeted a more educated and sophisticated demographic while Big Bang just went for the masses in middle America. It wasn't looking to break new ground or push the envelope while Seinfeld very much was trying to reinvent the way sitcoms were done. And it succeeded.
