Nobody likes a kid with a pony

Warning: Spoilers
"Who figures an immigrant's going to have a pony? Do you know what the odds are on that? I mean, in all the pictures I saw of immigrants on boats coming into New York harbor, I never saw one of them sitting on a pony. Why would anybody come here if they had a pony? Who leaves a country packed with ponies to come to a non-pony country?" Jerry's little monologue at the dinner table is one of my favourite moments of "Seinfeld". This episode is hilarious - filled with beautiful irony, quotable jokes, and even philosophical moments (consider that diner scene before the funeral when Elaine, Jerry, and George sit and talk about how they've wasted their lives so far and wonder how they can stop doing that.) Jerry must pick between going to his softball team's game or going to the funeral of someone that he may have killed because of an inappropriate remark. This is also happens to be the first episode of the show that introduces Uncle Leo. It's worth a watch.
