Friends.

While Seinfeld is certainly overrated and hasn't aged well, at least it had its memorable moments that still get talked about today (Mostly Kramer Hijinx, to be fair...)

  • Kramer vs Kenny Rogers Roasters
  • Kramer and the Rickshaw
  • Soup Nazi
  • 'They're real...and they're spectacilar"
  • Mulva
  • George saves the whale.

Just of the top of my head.

Friends, while popular, is ultimately forgettable generic sitcom crap. I struggle to think of any actual memorable moments other than "Pivot"

Overall, yes, but this exchange still makes me laugh:

Joey: But come on. And what is with the really hot stick in the bathroom?
Janine: It's a curling iron.
Joey: Well, that's okay then. Oh, okay, my towels, for instance. I come into the bathroom, here, and my towel is not on the floor, where I keep it. It's up here on some hook. And it smells different.
Janine: It's clean.
Joey: Yeah, well, it feels different.
Janine: It's dry.
Joey: All right, I can make my peace with the clean, dry towels. Hey, okay, also what is with these chips you bought?
Janine: No, no, no. It's potpourri. You're supposed to smell it.
Joey: Well, that's like summer in a bowl.

There's also The Contest, where the core group tried to see who could go the longest without masturbating.

It sounds like a crass reference, but I remember it blowing my mind that they included Elaine in it. It was the first time I recall female masturbation being acknowledged on TV, let alone being acknowledged as equally compelling as male masturbation.

Seinfeld - paving the way for female gooners everywhere.

The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli.
