The Hipster Doofus of Seinfeld is a true star, one that is born in sitcom world once every few seasons — his slapstick is comparable to Charlie Chaplin, but his mentality is far too bizarre even for The Tramp. Cosmo Kramer embodies the absurdity of his own name, establishing himself as a hallmark of nineties TV over the show's nine-season run.

It's a quasi-herculean task to sift through the 180 episodes of Seinfeld in order to locate the most impressive Kramer-based ones (because the man is a genius in nearly all of them), but the ones given below belong to an entirely different tier.

The Voice (S9 E2) — 8.4

Kramer with George and Jerry

Kramer decides to incorporate his wacky concepts into an "official" organization, naming it Kramerica Industries. He also hires an intern to take care of the general administration while he cooks up more ideas (even after Darin is forbidden by his college from contacting his "mentor.")

Going along with George's own schemes, Kramer agrees to use his office to experiment with his latest invention: the rubber bladder. Obviously this works out terribly for everyone, with Darin getting imprisoned for his rather minor role in the whole disaster, and Kramer once again getting off scot-free.

The Pool Guy (S7 E8) — 8.4

Kramer talking on the phone on Seinfeld

Instead of getting his new phone number (555-FILK) changed — to avoid receiving constant calls from people trying to get Moviefone (555-FILM) notifications — Kramer simply falls into his new role as if it was made for him.

He takes it a bit too far, though, asking callers to press certain numbers for extra information (as if he can tell if they did it correctly or not.) At the end, the actual Mr. Moviefone, depicted only as an invisible voice, finds Kramer's apartment and tries to accost him directly.

The Muffin Tops (S8 E21) — 8.5

Kramer discussing shaving techniques with Jerry

In "The Muffin Tops", Kramer is upset to discover that J. Peterman had plagiarized his life accomplishments in his latest autobiography, so he pretends to be Elaine's boss (because, well, Kramer logic.) In retaliation, he rents out a school bus and takes random people on "The Peterman Reality Tour," for which he charges his customers $37.50 each.

This episode is spectacular mostly because it parodies the real-life individual that Kramer was allegedly based on, Kenny Kramer, who ran the "Kramer's Reality Tour" in response to Seinfeld "using" his life story without crediting him.

The Butter Shave (S9 E1) — 8.5

Kramer as a turkey

One of a long line of nonsensical notions is Kramer's butter-shaving technique: using it as a shaving cream replacement and subsequently as a moisturizer because he loves the feeling. He inadvertently sunbathes (by falling asleep covered in butter) which gives his skin a rich, golden-brown glaze.

Newman is vaguely considering cannibalism, and learns that butter-burnt Kramer emits a delicious aroma, to the point that he hallucinates his friend's head attached to a cooked turkey. Later in the episode, Kramer receives an unplanned dusting of spices and cheese, at which point Newman tries to "eat him."

The Pick (S4 E13) — 8.5

Kramer as an underwear model

While Jerry's nose-digging adventures form a large part of "The Pick", Kramer is astounded that Calvin Klein had ripped off his idea for a sea-scented fragrance (what he called "The Beach" repackaged into CK's "Ocean.")

He furiously demands that the company compensate him for their thievery, but they are far too fascinated by his bizarre appearance to care about some minor lawsuit. Kramer happily accedes to their request of becoming one of their underwear models, but as luck would have it, his first photoshoot results show that certain body parts had not received the adequate coverage.

The Caddy (S7 E12) — 8.6

Kramer and Jackie Chiles

Kramer gets himself a new life-coach of sorts, his caddie, Stan, whose words are taken as if they are the Holy Gospel. However, he and Jerry get into a car accident while watching the "bra-less wonder", Sue Ellen Mischke, wearing a bra as a top while walking down the street.

Kramer sues her for his shoulder injury, claiming that it has affected his potential as a golf pro, a case that Jackie Chiles accepts with much gusto. Unfortunately for the brilliant lawyer, his client is far too unpredictable; on Stan's urging, Kramer demands that Sue Ellen test the bra out by wearing it (which does not work out in his favor because she tries it on over her top.)

The Fusilli Jerry (S6 E21) — 8.7

Seinfeld Kramer Fusilli Jerry

At the DMV, Kramer receives the incorrect license plate (ASSMAN) which leads him on a quest to locate its true owner. Driving around with this emblazoned on his car is not as awful as he thinks at first, but he puts himself in the line of Frank Costanza's fire after "stopping short" with Estelle.

When the two fight over what happened, George's dad slips and falls on Kramer's hilarious pasta-based Jerry figurine (that its namesake finds quite amusing, by the way) necessitating a trip to the emergency room. This is where he finally confirms his suspicions that ASSMAN belongs to a proctologist.

The Strike (S9 E10) — 8.8

Kramer's strike at H&H Bagels

Kramer gets his ancient job back at H&H Bagels, after a previously unknown 12-year strike reaches its conclusion. However, when he plans to celebrate Festivus, Frank's invented holiday, the store refuses to give him time off, so he opts to continue striking until his demands are met.

This only lasts for a short duration, though, as Kramer's physiological needs puts an end to his new strike as well. Thankfully, he gets fired soon after he unwittingly mixes his chewing gum inside the bagel dough (at least he's pleased with not having to work there anymore!)

The Junior Mint (S4 E21) — 8.8

Kramer and Jerry watch a surgery

Roy Sherman, Elaine's ex-obese, ex-boyfriend, has become a lot skinnier from pining after her (and not eating as much as he used to), and she's shallow enough to date him now that he's "fit." Kramer and Jerry plan to see Sherman undergoing a routine procedure, and during a stupid tussle over candy, a stray Junior Mint goes flying into the open abdomen of the surgery patient.

Rather than causing problems, it apparently revitalizes him; the doctor refers to it as "something beyond science; something, perhaps, from above." Even when making horrible mistakes, Kramer somehow ends up winning at life.

The Merv Griffin Show (S9 E6) — 9.2

Kramer hosting the new Merv Griffin show

Kramer reconstructs the Merv Griffin Show set at home after finding random pieces of it discarded in a local dumpster. He takes the fantasy further by acting like a host, even bringing in "guests" to fill in parts of the show's time (the rest is filled with Diet Coke ads.)

Kramer then begins worrying over his program's "ratings," so he tries to make it more interesting by dredging up the "scandal" of Jerry drugging Celia, his then-girlfriend, in order to play with her rare toy collection. To his delight, the set is torn to shreds when one of his animal guests attacks another, because, as he confesses later, "it was a grind having to fill ten hours a day."
