Oh yeah — the telemarketer and the reservation eps were definitely Top 10! lol
I found those particularly funny since Ive played with those annoying telemarketers much like Jerry did. And I once had a reservation for a rental car but when I went to pick it up, there werent any cars available but then again, that wasnt all that funny to me at the time I was really pi$$ed.
One of the funnier episodes that I think was an early one was where they were at a Chinese restaurant waiting for a table. IIRC, the whole episode takes place in the Chinese restaurant hungry, tired of waiting, worried about missing the movie, trying to decide whether to keep waiting or go somewhere else, debating on where to go and what to eat, rude Chinese guy who didnt speak very good English been there, done that LOL

And there was the one that the entire episode took place in a big mall parking garage and they couldnt find where they had parked.
And Im almost embarrassed to say that actually happened to me and some friends, not at a mall parking garage, but at a big intercity parking garage that was in an office building and not open 24-7. After wed been to seen a play and catch a late dinner, we spent a good hour + walking around, from parking garage floor to floor, sometimes thinking we found the car only to find it was a only a similar looking car, trying to remember the color and number on our ticket which wed left in the car, someone in our group needing to go to the bathroom but finding that the venue had closed and the parking garage was soon about to close, effectively locking our car in until the next morning and us telling our friend either to hold it in or relieve himself in some corner or that wed pick him up on the street corner, if we could find him after wed finally found the car. LOL!
Thats where I think Seinfeld was at its best when it took rather mundane everyday situations that many of us have experienced to some degree or another and exaggerated them, but then only slightly.
