Seinfeld is another show I like because of the variety of silly and odd situations that the characters end up in. Elaine is funny because she is attractive enough to hang out with any man she wants, but she chooses to pal around with Jerry, Kramer, and George. Elaine gets into funny situations such as not wanting to see the English Patient, to which I can totally relate because I was dragged to that movie two times against my will. She never seems to quite seem what she is looking for, and sometimes I think she would have been happiest if her and Jerry had been together.

Jerry is very OCD and his obsessive ways always lead to humor and awkward situations. In one episode he drops his girlfriends toothbrush in the toilet and is too afraid to tell her, so he just lets her use it. Later on Jerry does not want to kiss his girlfriend because she has brushed her teeth with toilet water, which results in more funny and odd situations. However, I always wondered why Jerry wore shoes in his apartment if he was so fasctitious because it would have been cleaner it go barefoot. I did not come up with that idea on my own, but my sister is a Seinfeld fan also and she pointed this out to me since she has a penchant for cleaning. Everyone can relate to Seinfeld because we all know someone who seems OCD about cleanliness, but who is slighty contrary about the rules which they follow.

George is the most deluded and and egocentric of the bunch. He is very full of himself and he acts like he cannot get long-term girl friend because of his looks. Looks are not everything, but George often judges women on their looks when he is not a model himself. In one episode George decides he will be asked out if he pretends to be married at a party. Ironically, all the women at that party like bald, short men and tell him they cannot go out with him because he is married. This could only happen to George because he is delusional enough to believe he is a catch. Also, I never understood why George wanted to break off his engagement with Susan when he finally found a woman who was interested in him. George is one of those contradictions that keeps you laughing.

Kramer is the fun and zany one of the bunch. He always comes up with schemes to make money so he does not have to work. One of the funniest episodes is where Kramer goes ballistic when he feels he cologne "The Beach" was stolen by Calvin Kline and renamed "The Ocean." However, Kramer regains his composure when asked to model in a Calvin Kline underwear commercial. Another great episode is when Kramer decides to "retire" after they make a movie based on his coffee book, so he moves to Florida and becomes neighbors with Jerry's parents. The characters on Seinfeld never cease to make us laugh as they continue to get themselves into sticky and bizarre situations. Seinfeld is one of the greatest comedies of all time.

Today I am finally adding a paragraph about Elaine because DJ pointed out it would improve the hub and I agree. Elaine is a very interesting lady and I have to say she must be pretty cool to remains friends with Jerry after they broke up because I could not do such a thing. I love how Elaine is not afraid to express her opinion about things, such as when everyone wanted to see the English Patientand she did not want to. This is one of the episodes I can relate to the most because I had a friend who dragged me to that thing and I was in agony for over two hours. Everyone said what a wonderful performance, but all I could remember was has bored I was. It was not even a great love story, so I really could relate to this episode when Elaine did not want to go see it. Another thing I found funny about Elaine was was the episode when the Jewish men were finding her very attractive, but hello Elaine, all of your best friends are Jewish. Elaine is an enigma that really I never could figure out.

George's parents are like the obnoxious parents of the friends you used to know growing up, but lets just pretend you still knew those people. I used to know a boy whose parents were very similar to George's parents because they always had something to argue about for the sake of arguing. George's mom loves to bait George's dad so they will both fight, but I think George's dad would be okay if he was on his own, which happens when his parents get divorced. I especially love the episode where Elaine uses George's dad as an interpreter at the nail salon, which results in him bumping into his long lost love. If only George's dad had taken off his shoes he may have ended up with his Korean sweetheart, but things were thwarted with an accidentally slip of his hand. Leave it to one of these characters to mess up a once in a life time opportunity. Seinfeld is the show to watch if you want to focus on nothing for awhile, but it is really something indeed!

I need to add to it. Honestly I have been editing lots of my hubs over the last couple of days. Thanks for pointing out how I can improve it :)

I have no favorite episode. I can't ever pick. There's not a single character I don't love (or love to hate). We have a copy of the commisioned painting that was done of Kramer hanging in our stairwell. Great hub. And no, Seinfeld never gets old.

Glad to see a comment here after a year. I really do not have a favorite episode or character either, but I did not really like the way the show ended with all the characters going to jail because they saw a guy robbed and did nothing. I always loved Seinfeld, but that last episode sort of made me mad they would just sit around and watch that and do nothing to help him, and then the absurd trial. I wanted to see a better ending, but I guess they thought that was the best way to end that series. I have not really watched network TV since there are no shows like Seinfeld on anymore.
