My favorite episode of Seinfeld: The Bizzaro Jerry
(Source: seinfeldsays)
This is fantastic.
This will always make me laugh.

Why didn’t we have this…my life might have turned out dramatically different.Just stumbled upon this site, yadayadayadaecon.com. It is operated by three econ professors who select clips from Seinfeld to illustrate economic concepts like price ceilings, moral hazard, cost-benefit analysis, game theory, arbitrage, etc.
Some examples:
The Bottle Deposit episode, where Newman and Kramer scheme to take bottles from New York, where the deposit is 5 cents, to Michigan, where the deposit is 10 cents, is an example of arbitrage.
The Cafe episode, where Jerry convinces Babu to serve Pakistani food because he will be the only Pakistani restaurant in the neighborhood is an example of monopolistic competition.
The Fusilli Jerry episode, where Jerry’s takes his car to a new mechanic who gives him too high of an estimate and George remarks “Of course they’re trying to screw you—that’s what they do. It’s because you don’t know anything about what’s going on under there!” is an example of asymmetric information.

The Pen
ELAINE: Why is it so hot in here? How can they sleep like this?
JERRY: It’s only for three days. Today’s over and we have tommorow. We leave on Sunday. It’s one day, really.
ELAINE: Oh man. What is with this bar? It’s right in my back. It’s killing me.
JERRY: Oh you wanna switch? I’m sleeping on a love seat. I’ve got my feet up in the air like I’m in a space capsule.
ELAINE: I am never gonna fall asleep.
JERRY: Oh, don’t say that. You’ll jinx me.
ELAINE: How can they not put the air conditioning on?
JERRY: They’re nuts with temperature.
ELAINE: This bar is right in my back! It’s making a dent.
JERRY: How about that guy writing a check for 19.45?
ELAINE: I’m sweating here. I’m in bed, sweating.
JERRY: It’s one day. Half a day, really. I mean you substract showers and meals, it’s like twenty minutes. It will go by like that. (snapping his fingers)
“You have lost a lot of hair since then”
“I’M AWARE!”
[George, in his mind]: “I think that ginger ale at the coffee shop is just Coke
and Sprite mixed together. How can I prove it? Ah! Can’t, dammit.
Seinfeld, “The Strongbox”
Jerry: I can’t give details.
George: No details?
Jerry: I’m not in the mood.
George: You ask me to have lunch, tell me you slept with Elaine, and then say you’re not in the mood for details. Now you listen to me. I want details and I want them right now. I don’t have a job, I have no place to go. You’re not in the mood? Well you get in the mood!
…
George: Boy, these are really bad details.
Jerry: It pains me to say this, but I may be getting too mature for details.
George: Oh I hate to hear this. That kind of growth really irritates me.
