Poll: Which "Seinfeld" Episode Is the Greatest of All Time?

In recognition of Jerry Seinfeld, who celebrates his 70th birthday on April 29, 2024. Recently, Bloomberg estimated his financial net worth to be more than $1 billion U.S.D., placing him on its Bloomberg Billionaires Index for the first time. Further, Bloomberg asserted "that changes in the entertainment industry could make it a challenge for others to follow suit" and proclaimed him likely to be TV's last billionaire.

On July 5th, 2024, Seinfeld (1989) will mark 35 years since it first aired. "Seinfeld" ran on the NBC TV network from July 5, 1989, to May 14, 1998, for a total of nine seasons consisting of 180 episodes. Since 1995, the show has aired multiple times each day in individual media markets and generated $5 billion in syndication revenue alone. On October 1, 2021, the series began a 5-year agreement to stream worldwide on Netflix exclusively. In its first full year on the streamer, "Seinfeld" was the tenth most streamed series in the world with 19.3+ billion series minutes viewed. Today, the show remains nearly as popular as it was during its peak 3 decades ago, benefiting from consumers' desire to binge-watch and being available to them on-demand 24/7. The show's staying power is amazing, as consumers always seem willing to watch an episode one more time, even though they have seen it already countless times over the past 30 plus years. The Seinfeld fan base seems to agree on why they like the show so much. However, which "Seinfeld" episode deserves to be called the greatest seems to spark divided opinions.

Which individual "Seinfeld" episode do you personally consider the greatest of all-time (G.O.A.T.)?
