While Seinfeld is certainly overrated and hasn’t aged well, at least it had its memorable moments that still get talked about today (Mostly Kramer Hijinx, to be fair…)
Kramer vs Kenny Rogers Roasters
Kramer and the Rickshaw
Soup Nazi
'They’re real…and they’re spectacilar"
Mulva
George saves the whale.
Just of the top of my head.
Friends, while popular, is ultimately forgettable generic sitcom crap. I struggle to think of any actual memorable moments other than “Pivot”
There’s also The Contest, where the core group tried to see who could go the longest without masturbating.
It sounds like a crass reference, but I remember it blowing my mind that they included Elaine in it. It was the first time I recall female masturbation being acknowledged on TV, let alone being acknowledged as equally compelling as male masturbation.
Seinfeld - paving the way for female gooners everywhere.
Overall, yes, but this exchange still makes me laugh:
Joey: But come on. And what is with the really hot stick in the bathroom? Janine: It’s a curling iron. Joey: Well, that’s okay then. Oh, okay, my towels, for instance. I come into the bathroom, here, and my towel is not on the floor, where I keep it. It’s up here on some hook. And it smells different. Janine: It’s clean. Joey: Yeah, well, it feels different. Janine: It’s dry. Joey: All right, I can make my peace with the clean, dry towels. Hey, okay, also what is with these chips you bought? Janine: No, no, no. It’s potpourri. You’re supposed to smell it. Joey: Well, that’s like summer in a bowl.
Friends.

The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli.
