Top 20 Hilarious Elaine Moments on Seinfeld

get out welcome to ms mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 elaine moments on seinfeld you know i don't really think that this is appropriate right now for this list we're looking at the sitcom's funniest and most memorable quotes scenes and story lines featuring julia louis dreyfus character elaine bennis when did elaine crack you up and when did she make you cringe let us know in the comments below number 20 wearing an orioles cap at a yankees game elaine has a stubborn streak and this quality gets her into trouble in this third season episode what a great day i could have been at my boss's son's briss right now when she wants to attend a yankees game with george elaine lies to get out of attending a bris for the son of her boss mr lippman i think you better take off the orioles gun yeah i better no no no seriously you're in the owner's box i don't think it's a good idea however the plan backfires as her refusal to remove her cap advertising the baltimore baseball team gets her entire group thrown out to make matters worse she then must prevent lipman from seeing her photo in the newspaper sports section can i have my sports section sports section yeah i'm i'm saving it for the plane i never missed a sunday sports section well you know there's nothing to read it's yesterday's news elaine doesn't quite get off scot-free and this moment encapsulates the cheeky attitude and terrible luck that make her so entertaining to watch we're not going to show it we don't want to encourage that kind of behavior hey it's a young lady and boy she's really going at it with a security guard number 19 being mistaken for susie peggy you really saved me that was no problem mr peterman is gonna love him thanks susie this is one of elaine's most downright ridiculous storylines but also one of her funniest thinking that her name is susie elaine's co-worker peggy complains about her to her face look i should have said this yesterday this memo from elaine bennis yeah no it's amazing peterman hasn't fired that dolt this spurs their boss jay peterman to organize a meeting with both elaine and susie present elaine often shoots herself in the foot and her refusal to simply correct peggy's error spins hilariously out of control think that at its core this is a susie and elaine problem that requires a suzy and elaine solution her subsequent tale about susie's death leads to a funeral for the fictional employee that she herself must attend what can you say about a girl like susie it's a classic case of mistaken identity but her desperate attempts to keep her lie going lead to some truly unique situations but the best moment of all has to be when elaine bizarrely takes ownership of her new name she was a disaster zoos look it it's not sues all right it's susie number 18 taking over jay peterman's job now i want four new ideas from each of you by six o'clock now make that six ideas by four o'clock all right let's move wow elaine's relationship with her erratic boss and her status at work take an unexpected turn in season 8. while elaine pitches a downright terrible product idea a distracted jay peterman takes off to myanmar and leaves her to run his namesake catalog mr peterman you can't leave i'm already left elaine i'm in burma cramer's story of gaining confidence that his karate class inspires elaine so i listened to my katra now what i'm dominating the dojo until she discovers his opponents or children ah well i'm i'm dominating you never said you were fighting children well it's uh not the size of the opponent elaine it's uh the ferocity seeing elaine transform from an anxiety riddled cog in the machine to a way overconfident authoritarian is hilarious mostly because we can tell that it's fleeting but the most memorable part of the storyline is her ill-conceived urban sombrero that she places on the publication's cover what is that the urban sombrero i put it on the cover number 17 lying about the english patient much like her friends elaine just can't help but share her opinions ah that movie stunk i kind of liked it no you did after seeing the romantic war drama elaine finds herself punished for disliking it but i'll tell you the truth elaine i don't know if i can be with someone who doesn't like the english patient to stay in her boss's good graces she claims she hasn't seen it but gets roped into yet another screening well uh actually i haven't seen it so i couldn't tell you whether i liked it or whether it really sucked it's truly side-splitting to see elaine absolutely lose it in the theater and get fired for it you don't like the movie i hate it i'll go to hell why didn't you say so in the first place you're fired great i'll wait for you outside her relationship with the eccentric jay peterman is one of the show's funniest and this episode sums it up well the fact that he'll re-hire her only if she visits the film's tunisian setting is somehow both outlandish and totally on brand number 16 trying to buy socks from mr pitt one of elaine's major arcs focuses on her work life and finds her at the mercy of multiple fickle bosses in the sixth season premiere her attempt to channel jacqueline kennedy onassis inadvertently lands her a personal assistant gig with a publishing executive chump i was a great admirer of mrs o'nasa he turns out to be a stickler and even the task of buying him socks is an absolutely maddening affair elaine has sizeable career ambitions and often seems to be on the path to success but in classic seinfeld fashion her breakthroughs often turn out to be setbacks and this moment captures that painful pattern particularly well what do you want i want a decent sock that's comfortable that will stay on my foot number 15. jerry's pez dispenser didn't you hear that person laughing i couldn't play i was humiliated i'm sure it wasn't at you well then what was she laughing at guys whether at work at an important function or just relaxing with her friends elaine's social graces aren't exactly her strong suit this comes to the fore in this episode in which the gang attends a performance by george's pianist girlfriend noel jerry mischievously places one of the iconic candy dispensers on a lane and for some reason she finds it just hysterical [Music] in the midst of the emotional recital elaine bursts into laughter and must flee the theater it's an incredibly cringe-worthy moment and of course it forces george to hide her identity from his girlfriend i'll never forget that laugh for the rest of my life well i'm i'm sure she would apologize if she could probably someone is holding her back maybe against every fiber of her being but almost as funny as the outburst itself is elaine and jerry's speculation about the culprit in noelle's dressing room i mean only a sick twisted mind could be that rude and ignorant well you know maybe some mental defective put something stupid on her leg number 14 trying to score the supreme flounder chyna panda uh yeah yeah uh i'd like to play it in order elaine is not unlike kramer in going to sometimes ridiculous lengths to satisfy her desires in this eighth season episode she tries to circumvent a restaurant's delivery boundaries she finally finds an empty utility closet to disguise as her apartment and her friends eventually join her in the tiny space hi sorry i didn't hear you i was on the show i'll see ya although she can get her flounder she's also forced to keep up appearances as the building's custodian the fact that she will stop at nothing to get her fish delivered is both wacky and not all that surprising for elaine and seeing her take on another job and even another home for this sole purpose makes this episode unforgettable number 13 her date with phil tottola this has been one hell of a night oh i'm sorry jerry didn't suggest this sooner elaine's storyline in this season 5 episode doesn't take up much time but it's nothing if not memorable jerry decides to set her up with one of the best guys he knows phil tottola the date is great until the very end when phil takes things in a very inappropriate direction good night good night wow although it's horrible to see elaine endure the skeezy interaction her debrief with jerry is an absolutely unforgettable moment let's see [Music] how shall i put this i people just put it he took it out it's not the only instance of the show skirting around lewd topics but it is one of the funniest he took what out it he took it out yes sir as if the situation weren't painful enough kramer stops by jerry's apartment and provides a truly hair-brained explanation for the unexpected flash well maybe uh it needed some air you know sometimes they need air they can't breathe in there it's inhuman number 12 yadda yadda ing this eighth season episode is famous for taking as its focus the titular filler phrase i'm on third avenue minding my own business and yada yada yada i get a free massage and a facial wow what is a sink story george's girlfriend marcy uses the line to omit unimportant events from her stories and at first he takes a liking to it we were engaged to be married we bought the wedding invitations and uh yadda yadda i'm still single but soon enough he's worried that she's hiding a sexual tryst with her ex and we don't blame him although she's not directly implicated in the storyline elaine hilariously weighs in on the topic of skipping over sex in an episode already full of wit and word play this line is one of the funniest i've yatty added sex really yup i met this lawyer we went out to dinner i had the lobster bisque we went back to my place yadda yadda i never heard from him again but julia louis-dreyfus also deserves credit for her delivery of the subtle yet brutal roast but you had a yachted over the best part no i mentioned the bisque number 11 snapping at a party guest we should have a signal that you're in trouble so the other one can get us out of it how old are you 36. elaine moody never this beloved character doesn't always keep it together and this is especially the case in this season 3 episode george brings her and jerry to a party on long island only to later run off with the latter's car sadly everyone else at the party is extremely dull and although elaine and jerry devise an sos signal for boring conversations it doesn't help on the other hand you take a guy like george washington carver the man devoted his whole life to the peanut imagine having so much passion for something when another guest prattles on about her own fiance elaine becomes so agitated that she can't help but retort maybe the dingo ate your baby what the dingo ate your baby with a reference to an australian tragedy from the year 1980 the line is definitely strange but her delivery is so gleefully rude that it somehow feels like the sickest burn we've ever heard number 10. tossing george's toupee elaine's storyline in this season 6 episode involves disguising a co-worker's sexual identity but her funniest moment actually centers on a development in georgia's life with a new hair piece boosting his confidence george is shocked to find that his blind date is as bald as he is she's bald mean ball what do you think i mean bald bald bald ball ever our heroine elaine steps in to bring her friend back down to earth in the most hilarious way you're rejecting somebody because they're bald you're bald julia louis-dreyfus plays this moment with true ferocity and the lines she spits at george are priceless for all of jerry and george's unfair judgment of women we're thankful that elaine has her head screwed on straight sometimes i don't like this thing and here's what i'm doing number nine her christmas card elaine is no stranger to embarrassing herself and when she teams up with kramer it's practically a recipe for disaster in this episode elaine takes up her friend's offer to shoot her christmas card in a tragic mishap she doesn't discover that the photo reveals her nipple until after the greetings are sent i'm not sure and correct me if i'm wrong but i think i see a nipple elaine experiences numerous misfortunes in the series but seeing her experience the fallout of this gaffe is particularly tough everybody's calling me nip yeah that's my new nickname at the office nip it's a truly iconic elaine plotline and to top it all off she practically attacks george when he complains about not receiving one of the infamous cards you want a christmas card you want a christmas card all right here here's your christmas card number eight telling jerry she faked it why'd you have a fake of course really are you fake on occasion and the guy never knows yeah how could he not know that because i was good as great friends as they are jerry and elaine have a relationship that's sometimes haunted by their romantic past in the fifth season premiere george is concerned with his sexual chemistry with a girlfriend to her friend's shock elaine reveals that she faked it while dating jerry i guess after that many beers he's probably a little groggy anyway you didn't know it's clear that she relishes dropping the bomb at least a little bit and it's hilarious to watch the admission leads to such tension between the pair that they later decide to give it another go but thanks to julia louis-dreyfus expert delivery the episode's highlight is undeniably their banter just after the initial confession you faked with me yeah you faked with me yeah no yeah you faked it i think that whole thing the whole production it was all an act not bad huh number seven drama in the public restroom this woman just didn't get it she kept harassing me three squares that's all i was asking for three quarters the characters in seinfeld are flawed to say the least one of elaine's main foibles is her sometimes vindictive nature and this takes center stage in this season 5 episode in an iconic scene elaine asks her restroom neighbor to spare some tissue but the latter refuses three squares you can't spare three squares no i don't have a square to spare i can't spare a square it turns out the selfish stranger is jerry's girlfriend and once elaine finds out suffice it to say she gets her revenge the back and forth between stalls is truly outlandish and we only need to see the women's feet to know exactly what's going on and with elaine stopping at nothing to get back at her new nemesis she completely steals the show in the episode's last moments wait a minute i know you that's right honey and i know you go number six hurting her back at the seinfeld's home if tv shows are to be believed making the trip from new york to florida is challenging enough on its own but elaine encounters additional obstacles while accompanying jerry on a visit to his parents place not only is she a sweaty mess thanks to no ac her sleep on the seinfeld's pullout couch also seriously screws up her back what's the matter my back what happened that's that bed if watching elaine's nighttime tantrum isn't funny enough we then get to see her way too hopped up on muscle relaxants you took too many of those pills this episode shows the character in extremes from fuming in agony to giddily impersonating marlon brando in a streetcar named desire and both are pure entertainment number five her subway trip jerry george kramer and elaine all get fantastic storylines in this transit themed episode but the latter subway ride is particularly nightmarish first she's chatted up by a bigoted woman who doesn't take elaine's role as best man at a lesbian wedding kindly there is no heat there's no heat so who's getting married um two women things only get worse when the train abruptly stops and elaine is overcome by feelings of claustrophobia i can't breathe i feel faint okay take it easy it'll start moving soon it's hilarious to hear such a neurotic character's inner thoughts as she contemplates spending the rest of her life in the car julia louis-dreyfus performance in the later part of the episode is a master class in body language and it makes for both cringe inducing and side-splitting viewing morphing number four the coach flight seinfeld satirizes the struggles of air travel in this episode and of course we see this experience through elaine's eyes i have one seat in first class and one in coach the price is the same because your flight was cancelled oh well uh i'll take the first class while jerry scores a seat at the front end of the plane elaine's behavior towards an airport employee gets her luggage sent to hawaii then she suffers through a brutal trip in the economy section thanks to an inconsiderate neighbor a stinky bathroom and a no-nonsense flight attendant although we can understand elaine's frustration it is hilarious to see her get so worked up over the minutia of flying coach you're not supposed to get up during the food service well nobody told me that her trials and tribulations are especially funny contrasted with jerry's lavish first class experience why it's a perfect fit you must be cinderella [Laughter] number three confronting yev kasem the guy who runs a place is a little temperamental especially about the ordering procedure he's secretly referred to as the soup nazi this isn't the only seinfeld episode where elaine seeks revenge but it is certainly one of the most memorable the gang finds a place that offers amazing soup but enforces draconian rules elaine's flippant attitude gets her banned from the shop come back one year but thanks to kramer she inadvertently ends up in possession of the vendor's prized recipes this discovery leads to one of the show's most iconic conclusions as elaine returns to the store and tells the soup nazi his career is over the venom in her voice as she recites his own catchphrase is shocking and yet could not be funnier no more soup for you number two the sponge-worthy question just couldn't decide if he was really sponge-worthy elaine's storyline in the seventh season episode memorably hinges on the topic of birth control the sponge spot okay the today sponge yeah but wasn't that taken off the mark after kramer informs her that her brand of contraceptive sponges is being taken off the market she must use her stockpile wisely this conundrum leads to multiple funny moments she decides to completely buy out a local pharmacy and denies george access to her stash even though his personal life with susan ross depends on it makeup sex is all that i have left i'm sure he'll have another fight george even better though is her rigorous interview with boyfriend billy about his sponge worthiness do you think you're sponge worthy yes i think i'm sponge-worthy i think i'm very sponge-worthy although there's nothing wrong with having high standards it's truly amazing to see elaine's ultra-formal approach to such an intimate activity before

character simply nothing compares to her demonstrating her iconic dancing skills or lack thereof elaine finds herself alienated from her colleagues after a work party and of course she assumes it's george's fault but in fact her absolutely cringe-worthy dance floor moves are to blame limbs flailing arms a kimbo feet kicking up dust what what is so funny to get an objective view elaine records herself over a bootleg film tape but she becomes infamous after the video is distributed sweet fancy moses for all of her lovable traits this character seriously lacks self-awareness and this plot captures that fact in a truly unique way but i really enjoy dancing and that's not helping either do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from msmojo and be sure to subscribe and
