Along with Art Vandelay, we could have a subcategory of current topic: Character aliases.

Since Puddy is leading poll by a wide margin, I was thinking of favorite Puddy moments/lines (several already have been noted).

One of my favorites is he garbage disposal in the bathtub episode. Kramer calls Puddy, who appears to be sitting on the couch doing nothing, as if his sole purpose that day is to answer that call.

Puddy [staring into space, picks up the phone]: "Puddy."
Kramer: "Is David Puddy there?"
Puddy: "This is Puddy."
Kramer: "Well, this is Kramer."
Puddy: "I know."

*****

"Gotta support the team."

Way up there
Didn't he literally eat a horse once?

That was Kramers friend Jay Riemanschnider (sp), he eats horse all the time. Bob Sacamano was once in a mental institution, he knows where to get some knockoff furr hats,had rabies once, he also went in for a routine surgery, now he sits by a window saying "My Name is Bob", I think he also worked at the condom factory that was responsible for the condom used in the episode in which George gets his pregnancy scare (with Chandler Bings eventual gf)

I figured Puddy and Jackie Chiles would be at the top.

You put the balm on? Who told you to put the balm on? I didn't tell you to put the balm on. Why'd you put the balm on? If you're gonna put a balm on, let a doctor put a balm on. So a maestro tells you to put a balm on and you do it? I tell you what this is. This is a public humiliation. Do you know what a balm is? Have you ever seen a balm?

Who was the psychiatrist who was in love with Elaine? Loved that scene where she makes Kramer call him and tell him there in love.

Merv Griffin set was amazing!!

I put a vote for Poppie because his scenes and episodes are top-tier Seinfeld. "The Pie" is the first episode of the show I got my wife to watch because she would shake her head no and not give a reason anytime I offered her a bite from my plate at a restaurant.

Puddy is my number one. Also enjoy Uncle Leo.
I went with Mickey just because of the fights he had with Kramer but I had a difficult time deciding between him, Puddy, and Jackie. “Yeah that’s right.”
