Seinfeld was an Emmy Award winning sitcom that ran for nine seasons and created some memorable catchphrases such as "close-talking", "master of my domain" and "double dipping"; not that there's anything wrong with that!

The Top 10 Memorable Seinfeld Quotes
1. "Would it kill you not to be so funny all the time? That's all I'm askin'. This woman thinks I'm very funny and now you're gonna be funny, so what am I gonna be? I'm gonna be a short bald guy with glasses who suddenly doesn't seem so funny."
- George to Jerry, in "The Visa" - Seinfeld Sitcom

- Jerry Seinfeld, in "The Dinner Party" - Seinfeld Sitcom
