Over nine seasons of Seinfeld, the gang shared many hilarious moments, but not always together. In the instances where Jerry and Elaine commanded the A-plot, the B-plot left George and Kramer to shine bright. The chaotic duo was always a superb match for comedy, providing hilarious situations and memorable lines.
Without Jerry as their middle ground, Kramer and George shared a unique dynamic: From plotting schemes to helping each other, their friendship has been one of the most entertaining relationships in the famous sitcom.
The Raincoats, Season 5
"Paella? Yeah, I'll Be There."
Despite the cast of characters, there are several wholesome moments in Seinfeld. Behind the sassy remarks the friends throw at each other, one casual line or two is enough to show they care, and George and Kramer share many of those.
In "The Raincoats", although the Seinfelds refuse George's invitation to have dinner, as soon as he asks Kramer, he accepts it immediately, saying he'll "be there". Kramer might be an unconventional guy, but he's the only one who doesn't refuse Estelle's paella, which matters to George.
The Glasses, Season 5
"May I Have One Of Those, Madam?"
Kramer has hilarious lines during the sitcom's long run, and that's due to Michael Richards' brilliant timing. Combining his quirky manners with Jason Alexander's splendid performance of George was a match made in comedy heaven.
In "The Glasses", George accidentally buys "feminine glasses", and without missing a beat, Kramer calls him "madam", maintaining a smirk on his face. George's furious reaction completes this quote masterfully, making this an unforgettable moment between the duo.
The Susie, Season 8
"We'll Talk About This When We Get Home."
The B-plot of "The Susie" follows George as he tries to get back together with a woman. Instead of dealing with him, she puts Kramer in charge of the relationship for her. In the episode, the two friends are depicted as a couple, and unsurprisingly, they make a hilarious one.
After Kramer breaks up with George and accepts him back, they go to Steinbrenner's ball together, only without the woman George was dating. Mad, he starts making a scene, but Kramer prevents it, saying they'll talk about it "at home".
The Package, Season 8
"'Cause You're A Fun Guy."
Seinfeld's season 8 had a low rating compared to its predecessors, but that didn't stop George and Kramer from living the best of their lives. To help his friend feel comfortable for a sexy photoshoot, Kramer encouraged George, calling him a "fun guy" and a "lover boy" so he would feel at ease in front of the camera.
As per usual in the show, the idea went sour by the end of the episode, though it doesn't make this moment any less sweet. Hilarious and extravagant in unique ways, the friends supported each other, which shows their genuine connection.
The Mango, Season 5
"This Joe's Got Some Terrific Fruit."
Kramer's obsession with fruit is a known fact among Seinfeld fans. In "The Mango", he hands a plate of fruit to George, who only accepts it after insistence. Not only did George approve of the mango, but he believes that it reinvigorated his sex drive.
Kramer might be a troublemaker, but this is one of the times where he helped George indirectly, making this interaction one of the funniest conversations of the episode.
The Stall, Season 5
"George! Let Go Of My Leg!"
Individually, George Costanza and Cosmo Kramer are the best Seinfeld characters, so it's not surprising that the show often reaches its peak when they're together. In "The Stall", the two go on a hike with Elaine's "mimbo", Tony. High altitude, George, and Kramer: a recipe for disaster.
Before causing Tony's accident, Kramer yells at a terrified George to "let go" of his leg, and they both own the scene screaming at each other. This proves they might not be the calmest hiking buddies, but they're surely the most entertaining companions.
The Keys, Season 3
"Do You Ever Yearn?"
Given George's complex nature, Kramer is usually the one enticing him with sassy remarks or existential questions. "The Keys" is a fitting example of the dynamic between the two and how they behave when Jerry isn't around.
Through a series of questions about yearnings and prospects, Kramer evaluates George's life, making him admit that he only gets up in the morning to read the "Daily News". At the core of the humorous sequence is the on-screen chemistry of Jason Alexander and Michael Richards, the ones responsible for making the characters so compelling together.
The Airport, Season 4
"George: You bought non-refundable tickets, you idiot!Kramer: She talked me into it. She said it was the best deal."
While George and Kramer are the B-plot of "The Airport", they're the episode's highlight. On their way to the airport, their eccentricities are put against each other, with George complaining about the route Kramer is taking and Kramer being petty about an old debt.
To crown these hilarious moments, the two plot a scheme to get an air tickets refund, which goes terribly wrong. This quote shows how fun the duo is at their peak, getting into trouble and shouting at each other.
The Dinner Party, Season 5
"You Really Understand My Point About Building Rockets And Double-Parking."
The duo often don't see eye to eye. However, when they do, they connect in a way others wouldn't comprehend. That is especially true in "The Dinner Party", where they are forced to buy a bottle of wine for the event in the title.
Disagreeing vehemently about other topics, George and Kramer share the sentiment about the progression of civilization after George delivers one of his typical outbursts. This humorous conversation about the moon landing and double parking shows how they understand each other's frustrations and intense feelings.
The Busboy, Season 2
"If You Wouldn't Mind, Try Not To Say Too Much."
"The Busboy" is the start of George and Kramer's dynamic as well as one of the best episodes of the two characters. From Kramer speaking Spanish to George introducing him to Antonio as a "guy" he knows, these are some of their most iconic moments in the show.
This quote illustrates their early-stage friendship and encapsulates why they work so well together. George's plans go wrong, Kramer talks more than he should, and both have to look for the busboy's cat, Paquita. This line proves that when George and Kramer are together, chaos ensues -- but so does comedy.
