With so many clever lines, outrageously funny scenes, and memorable moments, it's nearly impossible for a Seinfeld fan to choose just a few of their favorite episodes. Is it the one with Jerry's puffy shirt, George's prescription swim goggles, Kramer's Mary Hart-inspired seizures, or another much-loved creation of Seinfeld's witty writing team?

Boasting 180 episodes, selecting the best installments is a truly daunting task, but Rolling Stone magazine has managed to identify 10 of the best, presented in chronological order. It might be fun to see how these stack up against the favorites of Seinfeld fans everywhere.

"The Chinese Restaurant" (S2, E11)

Elaine, George and Jerry in the Seinfeld episode, The Chinese Restaurant

Only Seinfeld's topnotch writers could turn something as mundane as waiting for a table in a restaurant into comedy gold. Shot completely in "real-time," the episode that many say is the best episode of Seinfeld's season 2 takes place in the eating establishment's waiting area with absolutely no scene breaks.

The plot, of course, involves much more than simply the wait. George is desperate to get a hold of the woman he abandoned during sex due to "intestinal requirements," Jerry dared Elaine to take food off someone's plate, and Elaine made a failed attempt to bribe the maitre d'. In another interesting twist, this episode is completely void of Kramer.

"The Alternate Side" (S3, E11)

Jerry and Elaine in The Alternate Side episode of Seinfeld.

This favorite episode is bursting to the seams with memorable Seinfeld moments. Jerry's car has been stolen, Elaine is dating a much older man, and George has been entrusted with the job of moving cars from one side of the street to the other.

It even boasts Jerry's famous interaction with the car rental clerk, schooling her on how reservations should work. And, when Kramer is awarded a bit part in a Woody Allen movie, uttering, "These pretzels are making me thirsty," one of Seinfeld's best quotes is born.

"The Bubble Boy" (S4, E7)

George being strangled by the Bubble Boy in the Bubble Boy episode of Seinfeld.

Every avid Seinfeld viewer remembers meeting the "Bubble Boy" who, despite his childlike moniker, is an angry adult with a bad case of self-entitlement. When George and Bubble Boy engage in a not-so-friendly game of Trivial Pursuit, an answer card typo spawns another famous catchphrase from the series -- "Moops!"

Kramer accidentally burns down Susan's father's cabin, which paves the way for future episodes, including the one where her dads' love letters from John Cheever are discovered. This episode also reveals an insecure side of Jerry when he is embarrassed by how he autographs a fan's picture and tries to get it back.

"The Contest" (S4, E11)

George, Elaine, Kramer and Jerry making the best in The Contest ep of Seinfeld.

Many would contend that this is the most well-known episode of Seinfeld. After all, its trademark phrase, "The master of my domain, "has bedecked t-shirts, mugs, and countless collectible items. The very fact that George's mother catches him in the act of pleasuring himself while looking at a Glamour magazine is enough to make "The Contest" a fan favorite. After all, only George would put himself in that situation.

Add in Jerry dating a virgin, Elaine being tantalized by John F. Kennedy Jr. in her exercise class, and Kramer discovering a woman who wanders around her apartment nude across the street, and the audience gets the makings of a very interesting competition, indeed.

"The Hamptons" (S5, E20)

George, Elaine and Jerry looking at the baby in The Hamptons episode of Seinfeld.

The gang's friend, Carol, has incessantly been badgering them with "You've got to see the baby," so they decide to take a trek up to her home in the Hamptons. This season 5 installment birthed some of the series' most iconic moments, including everyone's horrified expression when meeting what appears to be the ugliest baby ever.

Kramer's physical reaction and obvious revulsion when looking at the bundle of joy are brilliant. Another great scene is when Jerry's girlfriend walks in on a naked George, who has just come in from swimming in cold water. He embarrassingly tries to explain that he is experiencing shrinkage "like a frightened turtle," and it in no way represents the "real" him. These laugh-out-loud moments make this episode a true gem.

"The Soup Nazi" (S7, E6)

The Soup Nazi glares at a customer in Seinfeld.

Not only does this episode catapult Ali Yeganeh and his restaurant, Soup Kitchen International, to fame, but it also gives fans one of the most cringeworthy moments as Jerry and his girlfriend nauseatingly argue over who is "Schmoopie." Viewers have great fun watching Seinfeld regulars stress out as they line up in the hopes of securing the Soup Nazi's fare without angering him.

Meanwhile, Kramer is mugged for an armoire by a recurring pair of street "thugs," George tries to outdo Jerry's PDA's, and Elaine gets her paws on the Soup Nazi's recipes and threatens to ruin his business. This beloved episode can likely be lip-synced by devoted fans everywhere, having spawned many great quotes that forever live in fans' heads.

"The Comeback" (S8, E13)

George with his mouth full in The Comeback ep of Seinfeld.

This season 8 classic interweaves four memorable plots. Elaine garners the attention of a movie rental store employee, Kramer is overwhelmed by his attempt to make a living will, and Jerry learns that his tennis pro can't play tennis. The most comical thread is George's regrets over not having a snappy comeback when a coworker makes fun of his horrendous eating style, saying, "The ocean called. They're running out of shrimp."

He becomes obsessed with telling this employee, "The jerk store called and they're running out of you"— one of George's best insults — even though everyone else offers him snappier comeback suggestions. By cleverly showcasing George's obsessive personality, fits of rage, and impulsiveness, the writers created a George-centric masterpiece.

"The Yada Yada" (S8, E19)

Seinfeld Elaine and Peterman in the Yada Yada ep of Seinfeld.

Any episode that features Kramer and Mickey in physical combat is bound to be comedy gold and "The Yada Yada" is no exception. Jerry accuses Dr. Tim Whatley of converting to Judaism for the jokes, earning him the label "anti-dentite," Elaine destroys a couple's chance to adopt, and Kramer and Mickey go on a confusing double date.

Meanwhile, George is dating a very "succinct" woman who loves to incorporate the phrase "yada yada" into her conversation. Unfortunately, those yada yadas are covering up some very important truths, including the fact that she is sleeping with her ex and regularly engages in theft. This episode also features an appearance by Robert Wagner as Mickey's dad.

"The Betrayal" (S9, E8)

Seinfeld 'The Betrayal' episode with the whole gang at the wedding in India.

This unique episode is quite a departure from what Seinfeld viewers had come to expect. It not only sees the gang head to India, but the plot is revealed in reverse order. And, to make things even more interesting, this episode revolves around Sue Ellen Mischke's wedding and the fact that Elaine has previously dated the groom.

Some of the funniest moments include George wearing footwear that elevates his height, the fact that he refuses to go to the washroom the entire time he is in India, and Kramer's attempts to reverse an enemy's birthday wish that "Kramer drops dead." While this episode's back-to-front design is not everyone's cup of tea (it even makes Reddit's list of Seinfeld's 10 worst episodes), it is ground-breaking.

"The Strike" (S9, E10)

George, Kramer and Jerry in Jerry's kitchen in The Strike episode of Seinfeld.

In an earth-shattering reveal, viewers learn that Kramer has held down a job and that he has been on strike at H&H Bagels for the past 12 years. This episode also introduces viewers to "Festivus," Frank Costanza's alternative to Christmas. Celebrated with an aluminum pole, the airing of grievances,  and feats of strength, Festivus has become a fan favorite with viewers who share the slogan, "A Festivus for the rest of us."

While Jerry dates a woman whose appearance is drastically altered by the lighting, Elaine tries to avoid a man sporting a denim vest by giving him a fake phone number, and Kramer grows weary of the 9 to 5 grind, George's boss comes face-to-face with the hilarity that is Frank Costanza and his made-up holiday, making this one of the best episodes.
