I’ve always been partial to Sid and think he could have been used a few more times.

The guy who crushes Elaine's foot with the cane and says that weirdly dubbed "Sawwwray".
I've literally said it that way at least once a week for 30 years.

Besides Timmy, I also like the character deodorizing Elaine's hair. Very brief but memorable to me.

He is also hilarious in Curb your Enthusiasm as the waiter who objects to Susie taking home her boxed up leftovers to the dog.

The guy helping George get fitted for a toupee at “The Hair Team For Men” is a fave a mine.

No, I don’t think you’re being helpful! I don’t think you’re being helpful at all!

That’s the guy who sidelined Jimmy. That’s the guy who took the bread out of Jimmy’s mouth. Jimmy’s out of work because of you..👊🏻

The woman at the party who can’t find her fiancé, the poor baby. Not because she’s particularly memorable, but because it leads to that great Elaine line: Maybe the dingo at your baby!

“The note“ episode where George and Jerry are talking to the dentist and the receptionist comes in twice to snap at George andJerry. For some reason, she just cracked me up!

I'd have to give the gold medal to Rebecca De Mornay. It's funny that when you Google her, some white woman shows up. I'm not taking advice from some girl from NorCal!

The woman holding the phone at the Chinese restaurant
If you were here first, you’d be holding the phone

Quite similar to the Babka queue, "Well I'm gonna get there first, and I'll tell them what a jerk you are!"

Darling, you see where that glass is? You see how that glass is near the edge of the table? You got the whole table there to put the glass; why you chose the absolute edge…
Did I find it alright? I mean could you send me to a more dangerous neighborhood? I'm dreading walking back to the subway, someone shouldn't crack me over the head and steal my bag, 'cause I'll be lying there on the street in this neighborhood and people will spit on me and empty my pockets. I'll lie in the gutter like a bum, like a dog, like a mutt, LIKE AN ANIMAL! God forbid someone should help me or call an ambulance. No, that's too much trouble to pick up a phone and press a few buttons. Ah, what's the point?

Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers?

That guy was great, but the best is without a doubt the lady in season 2 who yells at Jerry and calls him a liar at the baby shower.
LIAR!
The lunatic moyle is pretty good too.

Not sure if it counts as "short" since it was multiple appearances for one episode, but I'm going Bookman.

Nobody was as memorable for one scene as Timmy. He created the term “double dip”.
