The Soup Nazi

This episode of Seinfeld revolves around the best soup store in all of New York. And Jerry's public displays of affection with his new girlfriend. The soup nazi is one of the most iconic and unique performances I've seen in this series. He has this grumbling unnerving energy and is a maverick of sorts. "I slave for my soup". He forms an unlikely friendship with Kramer, who saves Elaine in her moment of need via the soup nazi. It's a funny episode made funnier by the gay gangster couple and Newman. The episode literally got me into eating soup - I wondered how soup could be that good. And then discovered it is!

So many others have already said how wonderful this episode is. It begins with the gang eating before a movie. Kramer has been going to a place where a guy serves soup. He is a nasty man who glowers at people and if they offend him in any way, he refuses them soup. The thing is the soup is sensational and in the Seinfeld world, losing out is devastating. Elaine walks in and breaks all the rules and gets tossed out. The second plot is an armoire that has been purchased by Elaine, that is taken from Kramer by a couple thugs. And lastly, the sickening relationship between Jerry and his girlfriend who use pet names in public. George has his efforts backfire as he tries to show how awful this behavior is. It's the best.

I have actually met Larry Thomas (aka soup nazi) not only is he small, but he's a very nice guy.

This episode was hilarious, although back in New York, there was some heated contraversy over a soup stand. It makes you want soup so much. 100% great episode. Next to the "pen" episode as well as the "bet" episode, this is one amazing episode. NO SOUP FOR YOU!

"Seinfeld" was one of best TV sitcom series ever produced, and "The Soup Nazi" was probably the best episode of "Seinfeld." Go out of your way to see it! Seriously! Check IMDb to see when it airs, and see it! You won't be disappointed. I've seen it half a dozen times, and each time I enjoy it more.

The Soup Nazi has become one of most memorable TV guest characters of all time. A few years after the episode first aired, we were on vacation and went to a "strip mall" sushi bar. This gruff sushi chef/owner was behind the counter making sushi and occasionally arguing/swearing at/insulting his lone waitress. A customer called and all we heard at our end was an irritated "Very busy...2-3 hours...No" A lone diner at the end of the sushi counter looked his way and asked "Excuse me, do you have uni?" No answer. The diner glanced our way as if to ask "Was my question audible? Is this guy just ignoring me?" So he asks the question again. This time the sushi chef/owner hardly looks up, continues working awhile, and then says "No, too expensive." Then he mutters under his breath "Stupid question!" From that day forward, although he never exactly said "No sushi for you! Next!", he has always been fondly remembered by us as "The Sushi Nazi."
