Seinfeld is an American sitcom and one of the most beloved shows ever. Often compared to Friends, Seinfeld has nine seasons that follow a fictionalized version of creator Jerry Seinfeld and focuses on his personal life with three of his friends: best friend George Costanza, ex-girlfriend Elaine Benes, and neighbor Cosmo Kramer. You can find this comedy on the streaming platform Netflix, or for purchase on Amazon Prime. To commemorate the sitcom giant, let’s check out the best quotes from Seinfeld that fans still think about to this day.
10. “You Don’t Need Glasses, You’re Just Weak! You’re Weak!” S9E10
In season 9, episode 10, “The Strike”, viewers watched one of the best quotes from Seinfeld take place. Frank is a harsh man with stronger beliefs, like his love for Festivus, a new version of Christmas. During the holiday, everyone is trying to encourage Goerge to read a poem, to which he replies he can’t without his glasses. This causes Frank to spout that he doesn’t need glasses, he’s just “weak”, a hilarious, and completely outrageous statement.
9. “This Woman Hates Me So Much, I’m Starting to Like Her” S5E9
“The Masseuse” is home to yet another one of the best quotes from Seinfeld. In season 5, episode 9, Jerry ends up dating a masseuse and proclaims his interest in her when he feels tension. It goes along the common joke that the more someone doesn’t like you, the more you’re interested in them. When going on a double date, Jerry realizes that his girlfriend doesn’t like him at all, causing him to say this crazy line.

8. “The Tradition of Festivus Begins with the Airing of Grievances. I Got a Lot of Problems With You People!” S9E10
This is another quote from “The Strike” that sends fans in a laughing fit. And of course, it’s from Frank once more. His made-up holiday, Festivus, is where he often airs out his disgust and annoyance with the others in his close circle, and he starts the holiday outright by saying “I got a lot of problems with you people”, which is so on the nose with his character.
7. “You’re a Nice Guy, But I Actually Only Have Three Friends. I Can’t Really Handle Any More” S7E8
How many of us just can’t be bothered with meeting new people? Jerry feels the exact same way. When he meets someone new at the health club in season 7, episode 8, “The Pool Guy”, Jerry has trouble letting him down easily. It’s a hilarious and relatable moment that fans can get behind because we all know three friends are already too much to handle.

6. “I’m Much More Comfortable Criticizing People Behind Their Backs” S7E1
Next on the list of best quotes from Seinfeld is in “The Engagement”, in season 7, episode 1. Like the previous entry, this is a relatable moment, because it’s never easy criticizing someone to their face. Goerge is thankfully willing to admit such guilt onscreen, while most of us keep it a secret.
5. “I’ve Driven Women to Lesbianism Before, But Never a Mental Institution” S3E2
The thing about older sitcoms is that these jokes are absolutely hilarious and uncalled for. In season 3, episode 2, “The Truth”, Goerge is dealing with a breakup. Their split ends up in a clinic, which makes George reminisce about his prior breakups, saying that his girlfriends usually go down a different path than a health clinic.
4. “Serenity Now!” S9E3
Sitcoms also are great at having an ongoing joke that makes fans snicker and think about it long after the show is done. One is “Serenity Now!” And unlike the word choice, the quote is often yelled at in hopes of calming the nerves. Frank, especially, is the reason for this quote, as he was advised to say it to help his blood pressure. However, when it’s screamed out randomly, it doesn’t do much good.

3. “You Got a Question? You Ask the 8-Ball”
“The Reverse Peephole” is home to yet another one of the best quotes from Seinfeld where David Puddy, or just Puddy, comes through talking about his magical 8-ball. The man has a lackadaisical personality which only is heightened when he shows up on screen with a jacket with a magical 8-ball symbol.

2. “No Soup For You” S7E6
One of the most famous lines belongs in season 7, episode 6 of “The Soup Nazi”, a fitting name. The line is said by none other than the Soup Nazi himself, a soup stand owner that denies soup to those that go against what he says or complain about any of their orders, and is a catchphrase that crops up time and time again.

1. “I Lie Every Second of the Day. My Whole Life is a Sham” S2E5
Last, but certainly not least, is one of the best quotes from Seinfeld by George. The quote happens in “The Apartment” where George takes it upon himself to fake being married in hopes of getting more women to pick him up. His blunt personality is shocking and hilarious for viewers, as he’s completely aware of his lying and shameful behavior.
