> [@salinqmind](#): > > I thought the show that was the most morally revolting didn’t actually involve something the characters did, but it really, really offended me. It was when they went to Los Angeles to talk about Jerry doing a show about nothing, and all of a sudden there was a storyline that popped up about a murdered woman and the police were looking for Kramer as a suspected serial killer. For a comedy about nothing, for characters who just continually mess up in a comical fashion - why the HELL would they just casually insert a serial-murder storyline? Like, yeah, so MANY women are murdered by serial killers in L.A., it’s just a part of life out here, can’t drive down any highway without seeing a body by the road - hey, wouldn’t it be hilarious if they thought Kramer was a suspect, he’s ugly and deranged looking? Ha-ha-ha. No, I didn’t think that was funny, at all. The lives of women are so cheap? They’re snuffed out all the time, they’re roadkill out there in L.A.? And since it’s no big deal, put it into a comedy like Seinfeld? Someone feeling a bit touchy? -Joe ---

How about Kramer spying on and masturbating to the woman who walked around nude in her apartment? ---

> [@furryman](#): > > How about that episode where Kramer and Newman destroy Kennedy’s golf clubs? Not only were they worth tens of thousands of dollars but they were of historical value as well. To be fair, it wasn’t Newman and Kramer who did this - it was the mechanic played by Brad Garrett. > [@The\_Cleveland\_Steamer](#): > > How about Kramer spying on and masturbating to the woman who walked around nude in her apartment? Hate to tell you this, but that is by far the most predictable outcome of an attractive woman walking around naked in front of a window. -Joe ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > I don’t get what they were _supposed_ to do regarding the mugging. Jump in and take on an armed man? By gathering ironclad video evidence, the prosecution should be _thanking_ them. Yeah, and don’t the cops always tell people not to try to be the hero. ---

> [@Raygun99](#): > > Really? That’s worse? > I thought Kramer had a point in that episode. Whooosh! I was being facetious. The whole point of the episode is the absurdity over how many people got bent out of shape about his not wearing it. I was just riffing on that. ---

As a minor note, the [Seinfeld goes to Oz](http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x18kvo_seinfeld-in-oz_people) movie was a billion times funnier than the Seinfeld final episode. ---

> [@BKReporter](#): > > Yeah, and don’t the cops always tell people not to try to be the hero. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the episode, but I think the issue wasn’t so much that they didn’t physically stop the mugger, as it was that they just stood there making fun of the guy instead of running and calling for help. ---

Jerry and Kramer accidentally let a mint fall into a patient during surgery and then didn’t tell the doctors what had happened. ---

That episode has one of my favourite minor bits, though. Elaine, describing a former boyfriend: “He’s a fat starving artist. That’s very rare.” ---
