The Contest

Uncommon card · No. 134509

"The Contest" is the eleventh episode of the fourth season of the American television sitcom Seinfeld, and the 51st episode overall. Written by Larry David and directed by Tom Cherones, the episode originally aired on NBC on November 18, 1992. In the episode, Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer hold a contest to determine who can go for the longest time without masturbating. As NBC executives felt that masturbation was not a topic suitable for prime time television, the word masturbation is never used in the episode, instead replaced by a number of comic euphemisms. The term "master of my domain", describing someone who has resisted the urge to masturbate, has since become a popular catchphrase. David won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series for the episode. In 2009, "The Contest" was ranked number 1 on TV Guide's list of the "100 Greatest Episodes of All-Time".
