Seinfeld. Season 9, Episode 17. "The Bookstore" There are two great things about this episode: the Kramer storyline and the Kramer-centric opening sequence. In the main storyline Kramer and Newman decided to hire/exploit homeless people for a rickshaw business. During interviews one homeless man takes the rickshaw and runs away with it! Hilarious. Indeed the whole episode is very funny. But it never tops the opening minute: Kramer is left alone in Jerry's appartment and - as the credits roll and the theme plays - we see the chaos that goes on in the appartment while Kramer is alone. Even better, when Jerry returns there is hardly anything out of place (just one coaster). Genius!
Seinfeld. Season 9, Episode 18. "The Frogger" This episode has two very iconic images: first is the recreation of the Frogger game when George is trying to get the big electronic game through the traffic, and the second is the speeded-up security-camera footage of Elaine eating the very old/expensive cake. Wonderful stuff.
The outtakes for this episode reveal a missing plotline for Kramer which is very clever and very funny, but - I presume - had to be left out for time reasons. He meets a woman coming out of a bathroom and finds a very ingenius way to get her to join him on a date. Had it made it into the final episode it would have been a worth addition to this classic.
Highlight? Seinfeld (Kramer opening sequence)
