Warning: Spoilers
There's no way you could show someone this episode and have then not laugh at least a few times, even if they're not a 'Seinfeld' fan.

This is a definite "character building" episode of Seinfeld, as it serves as a bookend between Seaon 3 and 4.

Kramer's scenes are hilarious, and are basically 2-3 minute comedy sketches, the most memorable being an absolute classic involving a motorcylist's unfortante past indicent.

George and Jerry's bond / friendship / love-hate relationship is strong in this one. We actually see them threaten to come to blows at one point.

Elaine is shown to be ambitious, trying to write for "Murphy Brown," but little does she know there's someone else who gets involved with that other sitcom.

The bit about the keys is classic 'Larry David + Jerry Seinfeld' formula, with an interesting tidbit of everyday life, mixed with Jerry's stand-up comedy expertise in phrasing and rhythm.

Combine this with the first 2 eps of Season 4, and you have the definitive "Seinfeld" feature length movie.
