Season 6, Episode 5​

"The Contest"​

Season 4, Episode 11​

In the episode “The Contest”, Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine compete to see who is the ‘master of [their] domain’. When George visits his mother Estelle in the hospital, he is easily distracted, often ignoring others at his mother’s expense.When his mom asks George to bring to go to the cafeteria and bring him some food, he downplays her complaints.

Michael Richards somehow is able to chug the beer while smoking simultaneously. Although the first shot was scrapped as he burped a cloud of smoke at the end, the second take was successful and make the final cut. Ultimately, this unscripted moment characterizes Kramer perfectly as the eccentric neighbor.

"The Little Kicks"​

Season 8, Episode 4​

"The Bottle Deposit"​

Season 7, Episode 21 & 22​

While many unscripted moments were improvised by the main cast members, one of the most memorable instances was by a guest star. In the episode “The Bottle Deposit”, Newman and Kramer are forced to run when Newman does the unspeakable and the farmer who offered him hospitality catches him with his daughter.
