I’m rewatching Seinfeld (again) and it’s just so impressive. Not talking about him storming into the apartment, but just all around in every episode.

Watching the episode currently where he puts on skinny jeans and it’s classic.

That is all.

Kramer is by far my favorite character on the show.

what's even more crazy is that he's the one that took the show the most serious. anytime something naturally funny would happen, the others would break character and laugh. he'd be annoyed buy it.

The way he would use his hands for mannerisms is unmatched. That thing he would do raising one up by his head while making a point was subtle but always killed me.

Michael Richards and john Ritter are the two best physical comedic tv actors ever.

I’d throw Don Knotts in there too.

I watched the ("Pam, Pam, Pam") Soul Mate episode recently where Kramer is infatuated with Jerry's GF, Pam, and laughed my arse off.

There were many of Kramer's lines that, on paper, are actually not funny by itself, but when delivered with his physical over-the-top mannerisms, are laugh-out-loud gut-busters.

The faith the director had to have in Richards to make a lot of Kramer's lines funny must've been monumental & unshakeable.

His brilliance. This is true in every episode. Absolutely born for the role.

Skinny jeans I was referencing in OP:



Other common examples for fun:





The subtlety of this last eyebrow movement gets me:

The show falls apart without George. Not only is he the best character. Jason Alexander was by far the most talented actor on the show. A legit stage actor and song and dance man.
