The gang all loves the soup from a new, temperamental cook unofficially called the "Soup Nazi". Jerry and his girlfriend are beyond affectionate, and their nickname "Schmoopie" drives George crazy. Elaine buys an antique armoire on the street, but it is stolen while being guarded by Kramer.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)Of all the quotable lines and pop culture phrases Seinfeld has churned out "No soup for you!" may be the most popular. This episode is definitely a series classic and one of the few great episodes in the final few seasons, but is it the best episode ever like tv.com once had it as?
I do not think so. Alexandra Wentworth's odd acting and facial expressions definitely put a damper on things and the George storyline felt like something out of an episode of How I Met Your Mother, where the supporting cast disproves of the main star's relationship.
This episode was also special for introducing the "street toughs" who may be the most underrated guest stars in Seinfeld history.
The episode was great. It had food, comedy, and entertainment. It was almost like watching a dinner theatre. WIth Kramer being bullied by people, Elaine wanting a chest, Jerry and George fighting over soup and women, you had all the ingredients for a great show. Normally I would wonder how good the soup is, but I thought it was a nice element from the writers. My hunger was higher as I was watching people eat the soup. I didn't have many favorite moments as it was all around solid. I did find the soup denials quite funny. Overall, it was great. Thank you.
This is possibly the best episode of the show of all time. Larry Thomas plays the Soup Nazi pitch perfectly. We get the main storyline in which Jerry and George go get some soup from the aforementioned Soup Nazi. A second story involves Elaine buying an armoire that gets stolen on Kramer's watch by two effeminate GAY street toughs. When Elaine goes to get Kramer some soup, she gets banned from the shop. In a related storyline, George can't stand Jerry and his girlfriend's affectionate phrases (Schmoopie). It is hilarious. Another great moment and often unmentioned when speaking of the episode's greatness. This is a great episode. Also, after being caught kissing and banned from the Soup Nazi's restaurant, Jerry doesn't go with his girlfriend, another classic moment. And the last line with Elaine telling the Soup Nazi he's finished perfectly punctuates this great episode.
Season 7, Episode 6. hide show
This episode is one of the best episodes of Seinfeld yet. It was pure goodness. I decided to review this episode now, because my current TV.com rank is Level 3 (Soup Nazi). They fit so must comedy into about 22 minutes. This is probably my favorite episode. The soup nazi is really hilarious. It's another great installment to this perfectly amazing series. Another funny part was when Jerry's girlfriend stands up to the soup nazi and Jerry takes the soup instead of his girlfriend. It was hilarious. This episode was definitely a series classic, and it will always be one of my personal favorites.
A soup nazi gives George and Elaine problems; Jerry prefers the soup nazi's soup over his girlfriend. hide show
This episode is one of the best episodes of Seinfeld yet. It was pure goodness. They fit so must comedy into less than 30 minutes. This is probably my favorite episode. The soup nazi is really hilarious. I especially loved the end where Elaine gets all the soup nazi's recipes and practically runs him out of business. This episode is so perfect. It's another great installment to this perfectly amazing series. Another funny part was when Jerry's girlfriend stands up to the soup nazi and Jerry takes the soup instead of his girlfriend. It was hilarious. This episode was definitely a series classic.
