I'm sure everyone has watched at least one episode of Seinfield, "the show about nothing." I find myself sometimes seeing things in real life that remind me of some of those old episodes of Seinfield.
For example, everytime I hear "Witchy Woman," I think of the time Elaine picked that as her theme song when her boyfriend had picked "Desperado" for his own.
Every year on my birthday, I sign a number checks from family members in order to deposit them to my account. It always makes me think of the episode in which Jerry had to sign hundreds of royalty checks from Japan, which in turn cramps his wrist and prevents him for "properly" opening a drawer.
Today, the radio show I listen to in the mornings played the theme song from "Great American Hero" as a joke. That made me think of the time George recorded his answering machine message to go with that them song..."Believe it or not, George isn't at home..."
Is there anything in your everyday life that reminds you of Seinfield? Or, what is your favorite episode? Favorite scene? Character?

In later interviews they said the scene was supposed to end with them driving away, but they improvised the car not starting although if you slo-mo the scene you can see the cast in the car losing it and laughing hysterically at the perfect twist. Jerry Seinfeld also said it was the episode out of every one of them that really was "about nothing".
"If anybody asks where you got this, you don't know nothin'."
"Larry David" is great, too. I really like the one where Larry's neighbor wants to meet "Elaine".
