I watched The Glasses episode last night. Man, that was just nonstop hilarity. I might put that in the top 5. Literally every scene is funny. I feel like it's a little different from other episodes, especially with the doctor Elaine sees for rabies. The guy makes no sense. "No shot, dog bite!" "Will this hurt?" Yes. Very much so!" Just really rapid fire comedy in this one. "May I have one of those, madam?" hahhahahaha

And of course, the Commando 8000. Season 5 is Peak Seinfeld for me. 

To keep with the thread integrity, what happened to George's glasses?

one of my fave quotes to use in my daily life.

I think he left them atop his locker. 

You're banned from answering these questions. 

why? that was a softball. 

I know. Softballs, curve balls, knuckleballs, spitballs, Mr. ledbetterman knocks em out of the park. 

I just added that question for thread integrity

My father, mother, and sister used to implement rules against me when we'd play our Seinfeld trivia game. I only got half a point for a correct answer while they all got a full point. 

Here's a few....

-What comedian scolds Jerry for losing his Friar's Club jacket? ("Oh the gypsies took it! New York has a lot of gypsies!")

-When Mr. Peterman is in Burma, what title does he go by?

-Why did George get fired from his job as a camp counselor when he was young?

Man, I'm brain-dead on the Comedian and the Title for Mr. Peterman. I can picture the scenes right now but it not coming to me.

I have no recall about George's job as a camp counselor.

I think I messed up the camp question by combining two episodes. He worked at a fat camp as a waiter (“Those kids depended on me!”) but he was fired from an ice cream shop for putting his feet in the mix. I think that was mentioned in the episode where he tried to get fired from the Yankees.

Well of course I do. Hitting is not about muscle. It’s simple physics. Calculate the velocity (V) in relation to the trajectory (T) in which gravity, of course, remains a constant.

White Poet Warlord, and I can picture the comedian...Jerry...something?

Both correct!

Jerry vomited in June of 1972, and again in June of 1980. George suggests there was a third vomit, but Jerry disputes it by claiming what?

vant0037

I'd have to cheat.  I can picture the dispute!

When I started this thread, it came from a dumb idea to create a true Seinfeld fan's trivia game.  The fun of the show is in its minutia, and the same is true of trivia.  I have played the Seinfeld "Scene It" trivia, the Seinfeld Trivial Pursuit, and even bought a fan-made game off Ebay YEARS ago.  As we've seen in this thread, there are some really good trivia players and askers.  Not one of those games holds a candle to the level of fun Seinfeldian trivia that's been posted here.

So...

While we're all trying to stay healthy, sane and happy during what has been the hardest year for most of us in our lifetimes, I would be interested in seeing if we can crowd-source/crowd-create a good Seinfeld trivia game.  It could be something as simple as trivia questions on a card, or something more complex.  At the end of it, I am looking for the best vehicle for great Seinfeld trivia.  This could be a project that gets finished or never happens at all, but it sure would be fun to try.  I've got a good idea for some of the guidelines for content, and maybe an idea or two for gameplay.  If there are some takers, we could get an email thread going separate from here to discuss and let the thread continue its sacred work of producing trivia questions.

Anyone interested?

My family has a good Seinfeld trivia game at my parent's house. Can't remember the name of it. We actually didn't care for the rules of the game, but the questions on the trivia cards were solid enough, so we just went with those questions and took score. We also had the Seinfeld Scene-It game that your referenced, but I thought that was kinda lame. 

I don't know what I can add to the creation of a new game, but I definitely love this thread and how everyone here are, to quote "The Contest," "comfortable within the confines of the honor system."

What city and hotel does Bernie Williams ask George about?

Ledbetterman10

Ramada...I think in Chicago. 

In honor of baseball (hopefully) starting soon, here’s some ultimate Yankee trivia. Which Yankee....

1) ...had to hit two HRs to fulfill Kramer’s promise to a sick child?

2) ...declared “Cotton is king!” in the newspaper following George’s suggestion to change the uniforms? 

3)...manager authorized the cotton uniform switch?

4)...did George have a keychain of that got buried in a pothole?

5)...was to appear with Jerry on PBS, but was sidetracked when he and George followed a driver George thought gave them the finger?

6)...”dunks like he hits?”

7) ...did Frank complain was overpaid? (In the Finale, interrupting Steinbrenner’s testimony).

8)..was taking tips from George with Bernie Williams. 

9)....did Kramer punch at a fantasy camp?

10) Just prior to punching that Yankee, Kramer was pitching and threw some chin music to which Yankee?

I'll take a shot at some

1. Paul O' Neil
2.
3. Buck Showalter
4. Phil Rizzuto
5. Danny Tartabull
6. Joe Damggio
7.

Damn. I thought Milwaukee at first but switched to Chicago after thinking Milwaukee had already switched leagues by that point.

It's Milwaukee and in 2015 I actually stayed at the Ramada in Milwaukee because I wanted a somewhat inexpensive hotel near the Amtrak station because one day we were taking the train down to Chicago for a Cubs game. I can see why Bernie Williams didn't like it.

8 - Derek Jeter

10 - Joe Pepitone (Pepitone is also referenced in the Marble Rye episode as the founder of Central Park when Kramer is driving Susan's parents around while they try to get the rye in the house.)

Ledbetterman10

You’re right on Irabu...but it was a player, not Showalter, that declared “Cotton is king!”....to George’s delight.

This is tough. Haven't seen the episode in a while but I'll try.....

-Don't know his name, but he looks like a blowfish at the bar
-That kid's going to be a heck of a sailor some day
-No clue
-His red-haired co-worker. In a later episode (The Sniffing Accountant), Newman tries to touch her "material" at a mailbox and she yells for her husband.
-McConnel deal? Some sort of deal.

What does Joe Davola yell when attempting to attack Jerry during the Pilot?

Also, why was Kramer not hurt when Davola kicked him the head?
