One of the big reasons we buy into the eccentric and unpredictable world of Seinfeld is because it is so grounded in daily minutiae and recurring obsessions. You want nit-picking? Here's 148 episodes' worth of the most repeated events and references (you're welcome).
Kramer entrances.....252 (Both fet must be over Jerry's doorstep.)
Meetings at Monk's Cafe.....229
Opening of Jerry's fridge.....103
Jerry on his phone.....101
Rings of Jerry's buzzer.....55
Jerry, Kramer, George, or Elaine watching the tube.....40
Bowls of cereal eaten.....13
Jerry, Kramer, or George driving a car*.....95 (Ironically, there are only eight subway rides and one scene on a bus.)
Scenes in a doctor's office/in a hospital.....28
Scenes at an airport/in a plane.....18
Cigars smoked by Kramer.....19
Baseball references.....48
Superhero references.....32 (Including Superman, Batman, The Green Lantern, Elastic Man, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Rubber Man.)

Kennedy references.....10 (Including John F.'s Jr. and Sr., Ethel, and Jackie O.)
Nazi/Hitler references....11
Art Vandelay references.....5
Three Stooges references.....4

Approximate amount of money lost by Jerry $34,275.50 (Plus a TV, a stereo receiver, two charter tickets to Paris, a BMW, and two meals at Mendys — actual values unknown)
