I actually like Tom Pepper’s reenactment of this scene in the pilot casting better than Kramer’s original. 

Did he just steal the raisins?

Just finished up “Bubble Boy.”  Moops might be my favorite scene in the history of Seinfeld.

Kramer chugging a beer while smoking a cigarette can’t be topped. Although, “I’m out!” is definitely in the running. The next day after The Contest I learned that others were watching the show too. 

I'm out is probably the greatest. But there are so many brilliant Kramer scenes. The Calvin Klein episode is great. Him throwing the JFK golf clubs at the car thief while he's driving is great. To name a couple more. 

The horse racing scene at the bookie.

When I think about the most memorable moments in television history, "I'm out!" is up there with Walter White laughing hysterically in the basement and Alexandra Daddario taking off her shirt.

He liked simple pleasures, like buttering his ass, lollipops in his mouth. But that was just him. That was something he enjoyed.

Rugged?  The man’s a goblin. 

He nailed the scene in Jerry’s apartment.  Jerry was about to lose it the whole time, but Philip Baker Hall just kept on coming. Great ancillary character.

The outtakes from this scene may be funnier than the scene itself.  Floors me every time.

I personally believe that if you can identify a single scene as "the best" then the show is probably mediocre. There are so many great scenes, I could never say one or another is "the best." However, within that conversation, I submit Officer Bookman, which are some of the best comedic scenes ever, IMO, and the one where Kramer imitates a police officer to get the stolen statue back. "Make love to that wall, pervert" makes me laugh every damn time.

Right, because what qualifies as one of the great moments in tv history is a hot chick getting naked. Because on HBO, that almost never happens. (You might consider subscribing to Cinemax.)

I think you can argue he's the most integral piece of the show. Some of the rest of the humor is fairly hit or miss for me as the show ages - but the well-executed physical comedy that Kramer/Richards puts on nearly every episode is just fucking timeless. And that's why it's one of if not the greatest sitcom ever. It's witty and ironic and sardonic and that by itself creates great moments but then you throw in the absolute genius of Kramer and it blows by pretty much everything else that isn't prime Simpsons.

The scene where Kramer describes how he comandeers a bus to take his girlfriend's toe to the hospital and wards off a mugging in the process, is probably the perfect distillation of the character.  The physical comedy as he plays out the fight scene, and how completely unassuming he is about how totally unusual his behavior is, kind of tie up all of the genius of Kramer.

"You're.... you're Batman."

"Yeah.  Yeah.  I AM Batman!"

This scene always cracked me up, and I do the same move when I dig into some crackers, but I never really noticed how he's holding the crackers with his left hand.  What are his #2 and 3 fingers doing?

Also, he has at least 2 more sleeves of crackers in the briefcase.

TCB.

Kramer: And you didn't ask me to do it? I could raise enough money to cure polio.
Jerry: I believe they've had a cure for polio for quite some time.
Kramer: Polio

That’s analogous to extending your pinky while you drink a cup of tea. It shows he has class. 

Well, if she was a criminal and you had to describe her to a police sketch artist...

They'd pick her up in about ten minutes.

Do you have something a little more...less expensive?

 

There's a Frank & Morty marathon on Comedy Central this morning for Father's Day.  They didn't mention Alton.
