...Seinfeld may be the most quotable catch-phrasey show of all time and one of the dark horses for "most quoted line" has to be the "we're living in a SOCIETY!" line from George, which I'm pretty sure I've heard a gazillion people use over the years to the point where I'm fairly certain there's people who now say it without even knowing where it originally came from.
So color me shocked right now in rewatching the episode for the first time in a hundred years that in real time, the line got no laughs. Not only no laughs - and this was a GREAT episode with a ton of laughs - but it's easily the most awkward silence I can even remember from the show; you can almost hear the crickets chirping off-screen. And yet almost 35 years later, I wouldn't be surprised it it's literally the single-most quoted line from the show.
