TV:  Seinfeld - The Soup Nazi

This episode is a lesson on humor and how far you can take one joke.  It is also a lesson in how you don't need jokes to be funny.  During the entire Soup Nazi scenes, there isn't a single joke cracked.  All you have are people lining up to get soup they really want and the Nazi has strict procedures about what they need to go through.  No gags.  No puns.  No badumpty-dump-dump type of lines.  The humor is all in the various characters reactions and abilities to please or not please the Soup Nazi.  The episode is freaking genius.  "No soup for you."  The line is part of our cultural lexicon.  What is inherently funny about it?  Nothing.  Just a simple thing Larry David and Seinfeld found amusing.  So simple.
