The Five Best Seinfeld Episodes Ever, Ranked

This is probably the most famous episode of all time, and gets quoted on a daily basis in New York City. That staying power, made possible by guest actor Larry Thomas as the "Soup Nazi," makes it mandatory on any "best of Seinfeld" list. Tbh though, we have laughed harder at other episodes...

Another episode that made it's mark with a term that lives on to this day is this one, in which George invents "shrinkage" after Jerry's gf walks in on him changing after taking a swim. We'll just say this... George ain't lying.

If Seinfeld was a show about "nothing" why was this episode, about finiding your car in a parking lot, so damn relatable? That was the magic of the show in general...making us laugh about stuff we always think about—but never thought we could write about it! Shout out to writer Larry David forever for gifting all of us with that...and for keeping the vibes going with Curb Your Enthusiasm, which we ranked episodes of a few years ago.

Our favorite Seinfeld episode, by a hair, is this classic that invented a holiday. Well, it was Frank Costanza, another epic part-time cast member played by the late, great Jerry Stiller, who invented it. The holiday is "Festivus," and good luck getting through the 2024 holiday season without hearing reference to it. And chuckling when you do...
