Except for the real life one. HOW COULD YOU TRADE JAY BUHNER?! HOW COULD YOU GIVE TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS TO HIDEKI IRABU?
How big of a deal is this? Wasn’t Jerry eating the lobster and eggs with lobster?
She was one of my least favorite of Jerry’s girlfriends. Making jokes at the expense of someone sitting across the table is really catty, no matter what the reason. I didn’t care for her self pity for having to eat kosher and later for sneaking off to break her rules in the cover of night if it wasn’t for Kramer catching her.
What George did was reprehensible. But the kosher rules are so complicated it must be hard to not accidentally break them a few times a month for some people.
Even though there is no excusing George’s actions, she came out even with Kramer protecting her from herself and George giving her what she wanted.
If she was more pious it would have been a bigger deal. Instead it rates about the same as Puddy finding out he is going to hell with Elaine.
Prison?! WHAT?! Why didn’t you put that in a spoiler box!?!
Real life Jerry is something of a jerk, too. Most memorable to me is he started dating a woman (now wife) he knew from his health club a couple weeks after she got married. You don’t start up with a woman who just got back from her honeymoon.
He previously dated a 17 year old high school student when he was nearly 40. Squick.
Anyway, there’s being a full-time jerk and then there’s being a part-time jerk with other interesting qualities. The other 3 were the latter. George was the former for a large chunk of the middle of the series.
Jerry and Larry didn’t see them as jerks but as children who never learned. A bit of a debatable difference.
Another George crime: He stole his father’s cruisewear and sold them.
The issue of the old man’s record collection that he and Kramer stole is a bit ambivalent. The guy told them to take them, but the son hadn’t approved. Taking with permission from someone who may not be in full mental health isn’t good.
To be honest, Jerry’s jerk-ness always seemed very random and sporadic to me. For the majority of the show, he played the role of the “straight man” - he represented an average, sane person surrounded by lunatics. But then once in a while in a store or whatever he’d make a huge scene over some inconsequential detail.
Then again, maybe he just seemed stable because all his friends were even more obviously crazy. Hmm . . .
That was just a misunderstanding. The old guy thought he was telling Kramer to take away actual garbage when Kramer was asking about his records.
Jerry stopped eating the eggs when George reveals his treachery.
The Seinfeld 4 were victims in the finale and throughout much of the show’s run. Most people started out being jerks to them and they had to keep up or get run over.
Just dropped in to share my favorite line from the series: “Jerry, it’s Frank Costanza. Mr. Steinbrenner’s here … George is dead… Call me back.”
He attempted to cheat on his fiance with Marissa Tomei. I’m not sure if that makes him bad because cheating or not bad because hey, it’s Marissa Tomei, quite the looker at the time.
Also he stole a girl’s clock once.
He was just cutting off the man’s pain-killers, he wouldn’t die for a long time from not having a saline drip. Not until after they came around to replace it.
Torture is so much better than attempted murder.
I SLEPT WITH YOUR WIFE!
Maybe there should be a thread about just bad advice received from Kramer.
Stupid Kramer Idea of the Day?
Maybe that was true of Jerry and Kramer. But George was a jerk first a good 90% of the time, and Elaine instigated things plenty of times.
Well, I thought it was amusing. Which I think was the intent.
that wasn’t bad advice from Kramer. “I slept with your wife” is a great insult 999 times out of 1000. George just had bad luck
