Everything about that scene is funny... Elaine's mishap to Kramer's to Newman's, all related... it's great.
I think Newman singing the Commodore's is the best part though.
I agree. "Once, twice, three times a la-AHHH!! OH the humanity!!!"
My dad loves that episode because of the Phil Rizzuto keychain and seeing it pop up out of the manhole saying, "HOLY COW!!!"
This is my absolute favorite Seinfeld ep of all time - just the look on Newman's face when the truck lights on fire....BAHAHHAHAA I can't stop laughing for at least 20 minutes!!
When he first sings "You're once...TWICE... threeee times a ladyyyyyy" I just lose it. The whole pitch change he does.
Wayne Knight is fucking awesome as Newman. No one could've portrayed that character better.

When I was in Vegas a few years ago I was having lunch at the Bellagio Cafe...Wayne Knight was a few tables down (and he had lost TONS of weight, we hardly recognized him!)...it took everything in me not to walk up to the table with the "Hello.....Newman"

A young lady I know, let's call her "Elaine", happened to find herself overwhelmed with feelings of resentment and hostility for her friend, let's call him "George." She felt that George was somewhat of a loser and that she was the one who deserved to be married first.

I bought a snickers today and ate with a fork and knife. My mom looked at me weird and asked, "Are you eating your snickers with a fork and knife?" Mission accomplished.

Secretary: Elaine, it's Mr. Peterman on the phone.
Elaine: (answers the phone) Hello, Mr. Peterman, how are you feeling?
J. Peterman: Elaine, I'll be blunt. I'm burnt out. I'm fried. My mind is as barren as the surface of the moon. I can run that catalog no longer.
Elaine: What? Well, who's gonna do it?
J. Peterman: What about you?
Elaine: Me? Why me?
J. Peterman: Why, indeed.
Elaine: Mr. Peterman, you can't leave.
J. Peterman: I've already left, Elaine. I'm in Burma.
Elaine: Burma?
J. Peterman: You most likely know it as Myanmar, but it will always be Burma to me. Bonne chance, Elaine. (to a passerby) You there on the motorbike! Sell me one of your melons! (runs after him)
[The phone is not hung up.]

I just watched the one where George's parents are talking about getting a divorce, and as soon as he finds out, he puts his head in Jerry's oven.
