The Contest
"The Contest" is the 51st episode of the NBC sitcom ''Seinfeld''. The 11th episode of the fourth season, it aired on November 18, 1992. In the episode, George Costanza tells Jerry Seinfeld, Elaine Benes, and Kramer that his mother caught him unaware while he was masturbating. The conversation results in George, Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer entering into a contest to determine who can go for the longest period of time without masturbating.
The episode was controversial when broadcast because NBC thought that masturbation was not a topic suitable for prime time television. As a result, the word "masturbation" is never used in the episode. Instead, the subject is described using a series of euphemisms, while the meaning of the subject is still made clear to the audience. The writer of the episode, Larry David, won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Writing in a Comedy Series for his work on the episode.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1992-1993 Emmy Awards )〕 One of the euphemisms used in the episode is "master of my domain", said by a character when still in the contest. It has become a catchphrase in popular culture, although it is not always used in reference to masturbation.
The episode was ranked #1 on ''TV Guide''s list of "TV Guide's 100 Greatest Episodes of All-Time".〔"TV's Top 100 Episodes of All Time" ''TV Guide''; June 15, 2009; Pages 34-49〕
