* ''[[Seinfeld]]'' is the last show you would ever expect a heartwarming moment from, and in accordance with that perception, nearly all the moments are only heartwarming because they are tinged with meta, but there are a few worth mentioning:
** Most obviously, the montage of still frames, behind-the-scenes footage, bloopers and classic scenes at the end of the penultimate episode, "The Clip Show", set to "[[Isn't It Ironic?|Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)]]" by Green Day. I dare anyone who watched Seinfeld during its original run to not break out in goosebumps and feel unable to stop smiling. Doubles as a [[Tear Jerker]], especially during the line "We hope you had the time of your life", because it was so true. The '90s were the time of most presently-living people's lives, and Seinfeld was the end-all-be-all of their entertainment.
** In the canon of the show, the scene in "The Pilot, Part 2" (not to be confused with the actual pilot of "Seinfeld") where the actor playing "George" (in "Jerry", the show-within-a-show) comes running up to Jerry right before filming, freaking out and babbling that he can't do it, prompting Jerry to throw his hands up laughing, saying that he's perfect -- he's acting just like George.
** In "The Deal", Kramer's card for Elaine: "Think where man's glory most begins and ends/And say my glory was I had such friends." - [[William Butler Yeats]]
