You can watch this 100 years from now and it'll still be the best written and best comedic gold. My wife and I watch Seinfeld every single night and never get tired of it.
I used to watch Michael do this type of Kramer character on the show Fridays, which was LA's version of Saturday night live in the early 80's, he was my favorite character.
Oscar awards are for MOVIES. Emmy awards are for TV SERIES. Grammy awards are for MUSIC. Tony awards are for THEATER. Seinfeld is a tv series, not a movie! Furthermore, Michael Richards earned three Emmy awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (1993, 1994, 1997). So, he got his awards already.
Kramer is by far my favorite character of this show and my favorite character of all time. Kramer at the pizza shop ordering and paying for the calzones was the best.
Yes I agree I was waiting and expecting that....also when he names a fighting cockerel after Jerry....and his mate the midget...lots of brilliant Kramer moments probably too many for a short video
one scene it was missing is the hoochy mama scene from the episode where kramer takes geroge's parents screen door and puts in onto his. Best kramer scene out there.
“Why in the world would a Julliard-trained physician send a patient to another doctor??” But you’re not a real doctor!!” “But he thinks I am-and I don’t want to betray that trust!”
+Zekee27 I was dating this girl in Marshall, Texas. Yea, that Marshall, Texas. So anyway. The local exchange is the same as Shreveport Louisiana. Her number was the exact same as the water park. But naturally the Area Code is different. The hicks around there would always forget to dial the area code. (this was before cell phones) When it rang at night, I would answer MIDDDDNIGHT maaadddness ! 10 bucks a car load ! hahahah Gawd that was so fun.
Great list. Last one is my favorite all time. Pounding that beer with a smoke in his mouth was truly unique. Also I've never seen someone slide off of a vertical surface as in the Calvin Klein episode. Genius.
It wasn't a slap. I've seen the clip, and it was nowhere near a slap. It was a playful tap. She responded by joking around and hitting back and when she accidentally hit him in the nuts Richards even joked about it saying " Oh she hit my nuts. Nope, I can't keep working."
w roberts No....he was appreciated when Seinfeld was on air. A few years after it ended of course most of the cast was sort of out of the spotlight, especially Richards. Not really the definition of under appreciated. And the meltdown incident caused a backlash, not under appreciation.
Not as good a carrey, but close!! You ever watch some of the stuff Jim did on “In living color?” Carrey is up there with the all time greats of physical comedy!
Dennis Leavitt Carrey was an overactor. He had a great wit, and comedic sense, but never displayed the absolute comedic mastery that Richard's had in spades. I can't recall a moment in Seinfeld where his performance was even worthy of criticism. He just always hit the mark.
No Assman? Being interrogated by the cops as the Smog Strangler? Playing Risk on the subway with Newman? And the quintessential Kramer moment, (slaps money down) "I'm out! Yeah, I'm (brrooooop) outta the contest!!"
"George, why would I a Juliard trained Dermatologist send him to another doctor? I need to get a sample...just let me get my slicer" "NO! You are not taking a slicer to my boss!" "Ok, but it's my professional opinion that you're making a big mistake, and it's GOing in my chart!" *writes furiously*
I remember him from an old late night show called "Fridays"... He was pretty intense even then! Just read on Wikipedia that some of the episodes are available for streaming - I'll need to go on the hunt!
@1:04 This scene reminds me of Michael Richard's character in Problem Child. He was fantastic as Kramer, but so sadistic and hilarious in Problem Child - love his acting!
It was a great ability from his part that he always managed to be serious while he was doing all this hilarious scenes, and not laugh at his own scenes, while the rest of us were cracking up.! Unfortunately once outside Seinfeld, his career didnt reflect his genius. It kind of died off , i guess reason being not having the great cast and sceenplay that Seinfeld had. ! But he was the best while it last.!
I think we all want a Kramer on our roster of friends. A dude who you can pitch any crazy idea to and before you finish your sentence just interrupts and says "yeah man, im in! lets go!"
Victor Lindstrom because there are some really hilarious parts missing and I’m sure people jumped on the dislike button as soon as they saw one of the Kramer moments they like aren’t on the compilation
Art Carney started out, at age 19, as the announcer for Horace Heidt and his Musical Knights. He did great impressions of various stars an wartime leaders and announced the upcoming numbers. He abruptly left one night during a live performance. After telling the audience he had a very important announcement, he walked up to the microphone and simply stated, "I have just two words to say.........I quit!"
i agree with all of these, but 3 others come to mind, when he takes the karate classes and fights the children, the jfk parody with newman and keith hernadez and the story of him saving the pinky toe and so many more, seinfeld is the best sitcom of all time!!
Last scene with the sniffling accountant is great but you cut off the first half of it where he walks in and smokes a cig while chugging the beer! just a classic
Loved it, except for the episode where Kramer get's novacaine during a dentist visit and is then percieved as a handicapped person, lol, that is easily a top ten moment.
where's the clip where kramer is in the pimp getup, taking a puff of a cigarette and chugging the beer then blowing out the smoke? That one's a classic.
That final scene was so great. What stuck out was the ducking down while entering the bathroom and just spontaneously kicking in the crapper and taking a photo. It could've been the wrong one!!! *Dead*
Isn't there a scene in the early seasons where there are plenty of seats on the train but he can't place himself on any one of those as they keep filling one by one as he approaches it? That stuff makes me crazy everytime.
This has to be one of the most well writen and acted characters in the history of American T.V its incredible.
Exactly. I can not teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
Actually based on a real person Larry David knew called Kramer
Absolutely!!!!!😂❤
You can watch this 100 years from now and it'll still be the best written and best comedic gold. My wife and I watch Seinfeld every single night and never get tired of it.
"moles freckles ugly cousin." Kramer had some of the best lines!
Best physical actor of his generation. Always a hoot.
Seriously? Uh, Chris Farley?
David Hyde Pierce
Best character in past 30 years
Mr bean holds that title man, but he's 2nd best for sure. Mr.Bean was an international hit based solely on his physical comedy Not words needed.
teamhex Ok nerdwriter
Any scene with Kramer was comedic gold!
Gold Jerry! Gold!
@@timjthru when he said the n word i laugh soooooooo hard very funny time kramer
Something about a nigga hanging from a tree?
His stand up routine is better
The concrete in the washing machine was one of the best scenes ever and it wasn’t put in this video
I used to watch Michael do this type of Kramer character on the show Fridays, which was LA's version of Saturday night live in the early 80's, he was my favorite character.
The fact that he came in the store smoking a cigar was hilarious 😂😂😂
Michael Richards deserves an Oscar for Kramer.
Ok boomer
I don't thunk you understand how Oscar nominees are developed...
People. It's a joke. Isn't that why you're here? Because you have a sense of humor? Duh!
SPOT ON!!!!!
Oscar awards are for MOVIES.
Emmy awards are for TV SERIES.
Grammy awards are for MUSIC.
Tony awards are for THEATER.
Seinfeld is a tv series, not a movie!
Furthermore, Michael Richards earned three Emmy awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (1993, 1994, 1997).
So, he got his awards already.
Kramer is by far my favorite character of this show and my favorite character of all time. Kramer at the pizza shop ordering and paying for the calzones was the best.
You just cannot take your eyes off of this guy when he is in the scene. Thanks to Jerry Seinfeld, we got the greatest character in sitcom.
I'm a wealthy American industrialist...are these free? 😁
Lmao
Bicyclist...
LMAO right
Ooh machu pichu
Wealthy people are actually very cheap many times.
This guy is a comic genius of the highest level.
I can say this is best ever TV comedy show. The key is cleverly picking up sharp points of everyday life :-))))
Kramer is the best thing that happened to television
Ok boomer
@@thesweeples3266ok moron.
So funny, if u are having a bad day, 10 minutes of Kramer makes it better😅
My favorite moment is the "Well then I think one of us should leave" scene no one ever includes that in their best of 😂
If you look at Jerry as the scene is about to end, you see his lips start curling up b/c he is about to laugh. Similar to the "Fungi" scene.
The last scene should have been extended to show Kramer drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette at the same time. "Here to feeling good all the time."
Yes I agree I was waiting and expecting that....also when he names a fighting cockerel after Jerry....and his mate the midget...lots of brilliant Kramer moments probably too many for a short video
We ALL gotta have and needs a friend like Kramer! HE IS REALITY!!
Everyone should have a neighbor like Kramer
I love it how once he spots the chips, his eyes are locked on.
One of the greatest tv characters of all time.
When he scribbles on the notepad.. for some reason it gets me every time
The paper gets shredded. HAHA
The King of physical comedy
Rowan Atkinson holds the title Richards is second
@@IminyourwallsThonas Sorry, Atkinson, not even close to Kramer!
Actually Jack Tripper was the best of them all
1:50 The "calzone" scene gets me every time! The kick to the counter does it.
+tleatherland "hey, what do I know about cooking a shirt, hun?" X-D
It's pure art! Just like Family guy's "Boopa di baapa"
Too much change
Tleatherland Yes!! Pure genius here...so classic.
That part gets me too and when the black lady looks back,I get too damned tickled
My day just got better "male mammal " Michael Richards is Kramer.I still laugh at watching reruns about a hundred times...thanks for the video Craig.
one scene it was missing is the hoochy mama scene from the episode where kramer takes geroge's parents screen door and puts in onto his. Best kramer scene out there.
The old Merv Griffin set, comedy genius!
Yes that is my all time favorite seen of Kramer. Eating a snack during intermission.
"Scandals and Animals" never got the real platform it deserved.
A Juilliard trained dermatologist 😂😂 The medical student in me loves that line!
A brilliant actor..you know how many times I’ve seen this...yet I’m laughing my butt off..
can't forget an early defining moment...the cement bag at the laundromat
That’s when I knew we were in for a long ride with Cosmo. LOL ! He got the cement in his eyes. OMG!
@@lisaroberts8556 Total genius scene!
The weird little spasms he has is so good. I have never seen such a character like him. So fucking unique.
Don't say fucking on this dude...some people including myself may find it offensive....my 15 year old son surfs TH-cam and may read that...

“Why in the world would a Julliard-trained physician send a patient to another doctor??”
But you’re not a real doctor!!”
“But he thinks I am-and I don’t want to betray that trust!”
which he says *after* George confirms it's a scam and gives George back the camera he tooks pictures of the guy with.
I grew up with this show. I salute you from Romania
When Kramer kicks the door in in the bathroom stall and takes the picture..........classic!
Not to mention the picture of him on the toilet
one of my best is when he's answering for movie times and asks to enter the number with the touchtone lol
+Zekee27 I was dating this girl in Marshall, Texas. Yea, that Marshall, Texas.

Ah who can forget...”The Kramer”...a genuine masterpiece in itself!!!
Great list. Last one is my favorite all time. Pounding that beer with a smoke in his mouth was truly unique. Also I've never seen someone slide off of a vertical surface as in the Calvin Klein episode. Genius.
The rounded corner got him. :)
I love when he coughs up a fountain of chip crumbs in the store lmao
We love you Kramer!
He was just awesome as Kramer! Love the character.
I don't know how people keep a serious face around Kramer during the show lol
+Advection357 Fun fact: Michael Richards was a very hard working actor and hated when his co-stars couldn't keep a straight face during shooting.
deviation01 C'monnn Jerry... c'monnnn! Giddyup!
+deviation01 less fun fact: she actually slapped Julia Louis-Dreyfus for breaking in an outtake. They laughed it off
It wasn't a slap. I've seen the clip, and it was nowhere near a slap. It was a playful tap. She responded by joking around and hitting back and when she accidentally hit him in the nuts Richards even joked about it saying " Oh she hit my nuts. Nope, I can't keep working."
Rockme Amadeus You must've never seen that tried on a woman if you think that was *nowhere near* a slap.
"Julliard trained dermatologist"
Julliard = art school
+Sky Vins Hmm could you go there to be trained in tattooing
It's spelled Juilliard and they actually have an excellent dermatology department.
It's actually music, drama, and dance.
This never fails to slay me.

"Give me a big smile Mr Kruger"
*Smiles as if he's gonna kill Batman*
"No not that big"
Ah yes, thats nice
Have all seasons on tape.No matter how many times I watch each episode...makes me laugh ....if you ain’t laughing you ain’t living!😂😂😂🤙🏽
The cement at the laundromat is by far my favorite. Wish it was in here haha
How is Kramer’s bus story not on here, easily his best scene
One of the best visual comics I have seen next to Jacques Tati. A true master.
Tati was Michael Richards' hero.
The hint of doubt in his voice when he's taking the statue from Ray... "...is your name Ray?" Great acting.
Richards is way underappreciated because of that bs incident. He's a physical comedy genius, way better than Jim Carey say.
w roberts No....he was appreciated when Seinfeld was on air. A few years after it ended of course most of the cast was sort of out of the spotlight, especially Richards. Not really the definition of under appreciated. And the meltdown incident caused a backlash, not under appreciation.
He was on the dating game..
Not as good a carrey, but close!! You ever watch some of the stuff Jim did on “In living color?” Carrey is up there with the all time greats of physical comedy!
Dennis Leavitt Carrey was an overactor. He had a great wit, and comedic sense, but never displayed the absolute comedic mastery that Richard's had in spades. I can't recall a moment in Seinfeld where his performance was even worthy of criticism. He just always hit the mark.
The guy is funny, but he's a racist, man.
Kramer's conversation with Jerry on marriage was golden. Should be included.
Hell yeah man that was funny
mindsaglowin how was your day? Well, did you have a good day or a bad day? Idk, how was your day? Lol classic
Best single scene on Seinfeld, genius writing.
Love it when he's on the catwalk with the shoe shuffle and the wings...too funny :-)
these were good but you forgot kramer the assman
No Assman? Being interrogated by the cops as the Smog Strangler? Playing Risk on the subway with Newman? And the quintessential Kramer moment, (slaps money down) "I'm out! Yeah, I'm (brrooooop) outta the contest!!"
tommyt1971 ohh
And that scene with that summer intern?? Too many epic scenes
What about him and Newman's trip to Michigan with all the cans in the mail truck! LOL
6:30 - "A Julliard trained Dermatologist"
So fucking funny
Music to my ears
I know it's really hard to choose top 10 list of kramer but the scene with the detective and he starts crying definitely up there
"Juilliard-trained dermatologist" :)
He was my favorite on this show, and still is. xD
It doesn't even have to be the Top 10. Regardless of whatever 10 Kramer moments you're watching, you know they're gonna be funny.
"Male mammal... approximately 30-60 years of age... weight... ohh... indeterminate."
"George, why would I a Juliard trained Dermatologist send him to another doctor? I need to get a sample...just let me get my slicer" "NO! You are not taking a slicer to my boss!" "Ok, but it's my professional opinion that you're making a big mistake, and it's GOing in my chart!" *writes furiously*
I have to agree with Lekteris about "The Sniffling Account ' episode. Richards is a classic Physical Comedy genius ! He's such a joy to watch.
The Italian Kramer is by far the best
when kramer wear the very tight jeans and he could't get it off.. that was so funny
kind of like ross wearing the leather jeans
Mmmm!! Machu Picchu...😄😄😄
LOLOLOLOL
*Nacho Pichu
Machu Picchu*
One can't get more American than that line right there!
Are these free?
THESE ARE ALL SO FUNNY!!
I, also, love the Little Jerry episode when Kramer chucks a big bag of chicken feed in Jerry's fridge.
My substitute teacher told our class that he was childhood friends with kramer. He also told us that they always fooled around and did pranks.
I remember him from an old late night show called "Fridays"... He was pretty intense even then! Just read on Wikipedia that some of the episodes are available for streaming - I'll need to go on the hunt!
@1:04 This scene reminds me of Michael Richard's character in Problem Child. He was fantastic as Kramer, but so sadistic and hilarious in Problem Child - love his acting!
The meat slicer scene with the cat was one of the funniest ones for me, among hundreds of other moments lol.
373axle Hey Jerry I'm going to need a case of kaiser rolls.
Kramer and George were great characters 😂
So so brilliant Kramer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When he wants to use the slicer on Kruger’s mole...kills me 😂

I think we all want a Kramer on our roster of friends. A dude who you can pitch any crazy idea to and before you finish your sentence just interrupts and says "yeah man, im in! lets go!"
Kramer used to make me laugh so much that my stomach hurt
I'm hip to the bathroom scene.
how the fuck does this have any thumbs down...pure gold. great selection
Because he is a racist
boi if you don't he was telling the truth. Not racist.
Victor Lindstrom because there are some really hilarious parts missing and I’m sure people jumped on the dislike button as soon as they saw one of the Kramer moments they like aren’t on the compilation
I love this guy--He made this show
he made n word
You need a part two of this!! Too many of Kramer for just one!!
7:25 notice the orange smudge on the wall where his spraytan rubs off xD
Kramer: "I don't even really work here."
Guy: "That's what makes this so difficult."
Not since Art Carney as Ed Norton has there been an actor with as much comic genius as Michael Richards.
Art Carney started out, at age 19, as the announcer for Horace Heidt and his Musical Knights. He did great impressions of various stars an wartime leaders and announced the upcoming numbers. He abruptly left one night during a live performance. After telling the audience he had a very important announcement, he walked up to the microphone and simply stated, "I have just two words to say.........I quit!"
Floyd the Barber on the Andy Griffith Show
Kramer speaking Italian always kills me it’s kind of what talking to my Nona is like
i agree with all of these, but 3 others come to mind, when he takes the karate classes and fights the children, the jfk parody with newman and keith hernadez and the story of him saving the pinky toe and so many more, seinfeld is the best sitcom of all time!!
Last scene with the sniffling accountant is great but you cut off the first half of it where he walks in and smokes a cig while chugging the beer! just a classic
"That's what makes it so difficult" hahahahaha
thats gold hahaha
"What the hell do I know about cooking a shirt?" I love how Kramer gets banned from markets and restaurants! LOL
Loved it, except for the episode where Kramer get's novacaine during a dentist visit and is then percieved as a handicapped person, lol, that is easily a top ten moment.
*top 5
It's jrrjje
Jimmy loves that episode. One of Jimmy's favorites.
Well then you're going to have to pick one of these to be replaced.
"Yeah, going home."
where's the clip where kramer is in the pimp getup, taking a puff of a cigarette and chugging the beer then blowing out the smoke? That one's a classic.
The beer and cigarette people LOVED that episode! Down on "K" street, in Washington, they are STILL raving about it!
Yes, this was the greatest. It seemed pretty risky, but he really pulled it off.
His mannerisms are one of a kind...
That final scene was so great. What stuck out was the ducking down while entering the bathroom and just spontaneously kicking in the crapper and taking a photo. It could've been the wrong one!!! *Dead*
undercover kramer is really great cant stop laughing man what a scene
No comedian will ever be as great as Kramer.
Isn't there a scene in the early seasons where there are plenty of seats on the train but he can't place himself on any one of those as they keep filling one by one as he approaches it? That stuff makes me crazy everytime.
That auction/cat walk was hilarious!!!!
