The best part is that they were all watching the woman across the street who was naked in her apartment, he leaves and comes back while they were still watching, meaning he left to relieve himself and then came back.
Poor Marla. She was so traumatized by what Jerry did (the Contest) in the Autumn of 1992 that a year later, she had to change her name to Daphne Moon and move to Seattle
They left out the scenes in bed each night. That was part of what made that episode even funnier. Elaine tossing and turning after her Yoga class was hilarious.
I dont think it's an issue with the writing or anything, he was being discreet with it and not directly saying it so without context, a passerby hearing a couple sentences of the conversation wouldn't pick up on it
After a rough day yesterday, I’m proud to say I am still Master of My Domain. The temptation was strong, but I kept myself busy and in public to curb the urge.
lol I just realized, George sniffed the bills that Elaine gave ROFL. I still cannot believe I watched this in front of my parents and got away with it since they did not understand any of it.
I love how everyone in the courtroom acted like hearing about the nature of the contest is the most disturbing thing ever conceived. If this show was made today, it'd get a few chuckles, but everyone would quickly move on-if it even became a factor in the first place.

I honestly think "You'll be out before we get the check" is the best line in the entire show.
This and the other few hundreds that have become part of folklore
Might be top 20
Nah. "a show about nothing" is the best line
Nah that belongs to: the sea was angry that day my friends
@@Ash16180 There are definitely more iconic lines in the show, but in terms of pure humor I'd say this the cleverest.
I didn't realise on my first viewing, but 'The Contest' was so *dense* with jokes and amazing moments, it could have easily lasted four episodes.
I wouldn’t say they would last that long
That's just Seinfeld, though. Still the best ever.
@@cesar5379 lmao
Fun fact: The show won a "Best Writing" Emmy for this episode without even saying the actual "M" word.
@@MS-sv1tr Truth.
Honestly the most shocking part is that Kramer had $100 lmao
who says it was his money?
he definitely borrowed it from Bob Sacamano
He always has those, its all he carries.
He only gets hundreds...

😅🤣 I think we all knew Kramer would be the first out with that comment alone 😂
They left out the scenes in bed each night. That was part of what made that episode even funnier. Elaine tossing and turning after her Yoga class was hilarious.
Aerobics, not yoga.
“Ya know….I was aloooone….” The greatest line in the past, current, or future history of sitcoms.
"George, what are you doing?! My God!!"

I've never believed that George would so easily tell this story (especially in a public place). He would try to keep it secret.
It's one of his few successes. Except he lied.
Madness he has no shame
George has no shame. This is exactly on character.

George can never keep a secret
5:52 I love that look to the window. Perfectly communicates what he's thinking.
The audience member losing it during the hand modeling guy part is hilarious🤣
I’ve never heard actual real human laughs on a sitcom and I now know the beauty of it
That’s because Seinfeld was actually funny
Where have you been
Most 90’s sitcoms had live audiences
Is this the first sitcom you've watched
Every person who recorded that laugh track is probably dead by now. You are listening to dead people laughing.
One of the best episodes in television history. They never even called it the actual m word.
That's the genius of it. They'd never have been allowed to air it back then if they were more explicit.
What M word? Mature?

"i come home to find my son treating hid body like an amusement park" has to be the most innovative lines in a comedy ever.
The way she delivers the word 'amuuuusement '.
The entire episode is just out of this world in terms of comedic inventiveness.

That part gives me the same feeling lol, and the way the rest of them reacted 😂
Oh, for the love of God... LOL

Two meanings:

Implying that he jerks off every day

My favorite part is honestly when Elaine says "I shave my legs" and Kramer replies "Not every day"
Should have been-Not twice a day 👍
Jerry’s reaction to learning that he won while he’s about to die is hilarious
Seinfeld is pure class.
Got to be the best comedy show every.
All others just follow
do you enjoy being a sycophant?
Ok sure. Especially with the "no nut November" title.
I couldn’t have said it better myself
Always Sunny is better tho ;)
Arrested Development I feel is better
Elaine: Oh, that's baloney- I shave my *legs*
Kramer: *Not every day, you don't*
This line killed me 😂😂😂😂
Better than the line, was her uncomfortable inability to bring a response!!🤣🤣🤣
Could you please explain?
"I figured you'd cruise at least through Spring" lmao
What was the joke here? I don't get it.

Only This 'contest ' episode alone is generation ahead of all the sitcoms..
GOAT
This espisode actually came out in November 1992. So yeah... NoNutNovember certified.
Seinfield is just pure perfection, this contest episode. Is the reason for my obsession with Seinfeld. Kinda 😂
After a rough day yesterday, I’m proud to say I am still Master of My Domain. The temptation was strong, but I kept myself busy and in public to curb the urge.

"Curb the urge." Nice euphemism.
Feel free to NOT share these things.
@@BDUBZ49 You're watching a video entitled "No nut", and a comment like that bothers you? LOL
@@LowLevelNC Annoys. Up until then, it was all fictitious.

"Why, George why?"
"Because it's there!"
4:54 that rhyme though lol
I would've lost the contest after seeing Elaine in her gym outfit.
Jerry singing along with the animation, and Kramer putting his words😂😂😂
...and I thought No Nut November meant giving up peanuts and other high-fat nut-based snacks for a month... like giving up alcohol during Dry January🙈

I actually never knew that Seinfeld invented NNN 😂
You're telling me that this whole "contest" came from a show 💀
Yes. Welcome to the party.
"The Contest" is the name of the episode... It's not a real contest except in the show
Best episode of any comedy ever!!!!
4:30 "youre about 30 years too early"
The hair of the bald guy describing George’s successor hands 🤣 I cannot…
What's funnier is the fact that the courtroom was horrified for them four to establish self-control, even if it was for their own selfish reason.😂
Seinfeld was trendsetting years ago!😁👍
I never noticed Keith Hernandez in this scene before. Him in the front row made it even better 😂
The actress who is telling us about the contest is the same actress who plays Daphne Moon on Frasier
I was at Walmart and saw a Planter's Peanuts that said "To all a good nut" and I died.
They knew what they were doing...
I love the betting odds being decided on the spot
This one and "The Switch" are my two favorite episodes.
I’d seen some compilations of this before, but I’d never seen the end where George admits he cheated 🤯
Oh..... John John 😂😂😂
😂 I loved how the people acted like it was so unusual or something let alone disturbing.
Seinfeld was ahead of its time 😂
I love how everyone in the courtroom acted like hearing about the nature of the contest is the most disturbing thing ever conceived.
If this show was made today, it'd get a few chuckles, but everyone would quickly move on-if it even became a factor in the first place.
Their prudishness was exaggerated for comedy
Kramer is just too honest.
Crazy, I could never get into this show but with things like this it makes me want to watch it
If you can make it through the first 3 seasons the rest is gold
Watch "The Puffy Shirt" episode then get back to us .
His hand turned to a claw lmfao
The things Daphne had to go through !!
"George what are you doing my god....." 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
"It actually started with George and his mother"
«You don't have to worry about me, I too, won a contest!»🤣
Jay Peterman- "For the Love of God!"
Hahahahaha
And thus... No Nut November was born.
Seinfeld was ahead of the curve and have been since
I've already failed for November!
Elaine had to relax with the bean flicking.
One of the best Always Sunny in Philadelphia episodes ever
"The '90s? When we were in high school?"
“Hooray, i won!”
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Not just the best episode of Seinfeld. it's the best episode of any comedy show ever!
"I shave my legs"
"Not everyday"
That one was personal
This one is my favourite Seinfeld episode 😭👍
“Well it all started with George and his mother” might be the most underrated quote of the show
I'd figure you'd cruise at least through the spring
0:48 For the love of God 🤣
"It can't end like this"
"Ooh I'm ready, I'm ready glory hallelujah" 💀💀
I liked how Kramer said “I’m out”.
"you'll be out before we get the check" lol.
“It actually started with George and his mother”
Kramers giggle when Jerry says "glamor" has always made me crack up
