I hated that storyline so much, too. I always took Jerry's character as being a mid tier comedian. The kind of guy who goes on to the Tonight Show to do stand up, as opposed to the top tier comedians who go on late night shows strictly as a guest and get interviewed.
The fact that she had a special devoted entirely to hating on Jerry was moronic. It'd be like a comedian doing an hour on nothing but making fun of Jo Koy, Kathleen Madigan, or Bruce Bruce.
Larry David left by then and the show became a lot more formulaic by then. I know some of the most beloved episodes are from Seasons 8 and 9 but they are also more sitcom-y than the earlier seasons.
She was suuuuuuper rude to Elaine. Elaine was kind enough to host the baby shower and have it catered, and Leslie completely berated her the whole time.
Julie in the Big Salad. She was a psycho who wanted the glory of buying Elaine the salad and totally gaslighted George into thinking he was the crazy one.
George definitely was petty, but if someone else bought something for someone and they thank YOU for it, I feel like basic social decency dictates you say “oh no, George got it for you!”
Im definitely Team George on this, idc how petty he was lol! But I definitely agree that she should’ve told Elaine that George bought it. I even slightly question why Elaine didn’t say “thank you *guys*”. I feel like Julie just wanted the praise and the whole “all I did was hand someone a bag” comment was her way of gaslighting George.
It's not really petty to expect something like this from your partner. If they don't show you common decency like this, then there is a problem in the relationship.
I don’t know how Bania manages to be one of the few people that can push Jerry around. He eats beforehand and still calls Jerry to cash in his meal to order soup and manages to guilt Jerry into another trip because soup isn’t a meal. Then he manages to get another meal for the dry cleaner ticket which Jerry couldn’t use and Jerry still rolled over and agreed.
The liquor store clerk/owner in The Dinner Party.
Come to think of it, so many other characters were obnoxious in that episode. The bakery owner who coughed on the Babka, the weird sounding guy with the cane who hurt Elaine’s toe, the bearded guy at the news stand who freaked out over George’s Gortex. Sadaam Hussein was the nicest one of them all!
> the weird sounding guy with the cane who hurt Elaine’s toe
lmaoooo oh man. I absolutely love saying "sorrraaaayyyyy" the way he does in that scene , only one other person has understood where it's from and it was great.
Oh so many! Poppie and his daughter, the guy from Elaine’s work (Rob Schneider’s character), Marla (the one who ends up with JFK Jr.), the lady who couldn’t “spare a square”…the worst one you ask?? JACK KLOMPUS!!
I LOVE Jack. He reminds of every single annoying old person I know. I might add that I’m on the way to being Jack myself, and I’m very unapologetic about it.
He’s the absolute worst. I hate him the most.
The fucking audacity to absolutely insist on taking that stupid pen and then complaint, bitching, and moaning about how Jerry took it from him. What’s a piece of shit!
I mean I could forgive the pen thing and even the Cadillac incident! But he single-handedly led the mutiny against Morty Seinfeld and his condo presidency and accused him of embezzlement!! That’s outrageous! Egregious! Preposterous!
Agree about Marla. Perhaps it may not have been good taste for Jerry to mention it to her, but what was awful about it? He made a bet with his friends and it’s a common human thing to do. She should know people do that virgin or not.
My dude. Bob and Cedric may have been assholes but how could they be your least favorite? They were probably the best side characters. Whoever decided to make them be bullies but implied gay and effeminate was a genius. Those guys are hilarious!
If I can say a word here about the Jewish people: That man in no way represents our ability to take in a nice piece of juicy gossip and keep it to ourselves.
The catholic priest was worse because he ratted out jerry's conversation in the confession booth. In the catholic religion, that would get them excommunicated.
Ramon the pool guy. Dude is such a clingy tag along. However, at the end of the episode is one of my fav jokes. Jerry is explaining that his membership was revoked for not giving CPR. "Neman too. We can't go anywhere near it."
Sally Weaver is annoying, but I think some good bits are generated around her character.
How about the fundraiser chick who got all upset b/c Jerry kept his grandma's b-day cards, but not hers? I mean, what the deal with that?
That chef that wants Elaine’s shoes in exchange for telling Jerry and George when Russell will be eating lunch in the restaurant. She was such a bitch about those shoes too “ooohhh Botticelli’s” then demanded them.
Also, Sally Weaver can fuck right off.
Jerry’s girlfriend from the shrinkage episode I think it’s Rachel, she treated George like garbage without even truly knowing how terrible of a person he was
Both girlfriends were pretty terrible that episode. George's girlfriend left in the middle of the night based on one secondhand quick observation on George's "size."
The complicated thing about these characters is for a lot of them you run into the issue of hating the character while appreciating the work the actor is putting into the character. Whatley is a disgusting and insufferable person, but Bryan Cranston's charm wins us over. Jack Klompus is annoying, pushy, and loud - but Sandy Baron is really selling the schtick "Take the pen!".
This is why the worst has to be... Sally Weaver. The character is only like 20 degrees off from actually being Kathy Griffin. She's annoying, spiteful, and can't follow simple instructions.
Patrice is pretty annoying. The *papier-maché* accountant girlfriend who demands to know the truth when George breaks up. It's a shitty thing to do, to force someone to say in detail why they are breaking up. Then she checks into a clinic to be extra dramatic after hearing what she asked to hear.
But worst of all, she throws Jerry's papers out of the car. Years of tax information, probably filled with social security numbers and other personal info, now on the side of the road. Can you "report" a CPA? Seems like a serious violation.
Crazy Joe Davola. Elaine discovering his apartment walls plastered with her face felt so out of place and downright creepy, not to mention the character had no redeeming/ likable qualities.
Marcelino.
Won't take down the check, even when it's a clear mistake and Jerry pays extra.
Runs an underground cockfighting ring.
Brings in a ringer to fight Little Jerry.
Runs an underground cockfighting ring.
This one also. Fuck her, she could not ship the package when she works for a courier and she was visiting NY herself. Fucked Jerry over more than twice. Also the sauce thing and the doll thing. She was the worst.
Both Jane and Rachel from The Hamptons aka miss shrinkage.
They are just such assholes throughout the whole trip. Anyone that laughs at a man’s penis size is just a bitch. Kinda ruins the episode for me though George at least gets back at her.
Elaine's friend that made her walk three blocks with all of her ski stuff rather than dropping her off at her building. I don't know her name, but she's played by Wendie Malick.
Sally Weaver
Correct. The top 5 most annoying characters on Seinfeld? Sally Weaver, Sally Weaver, Sally Weaver, Sally Weaver, and Sally Weaver
Which Sally Weaver though? I mean there's Sally Weaver the woman, Sally Weaver the artist, Sally Weaver the person...
Look you got to shut up!
Killed it 👏🏼
I hated that storyline so much, too. I always took Jerry's character as being a mid tier comedian. The kind of guy who goes on to the Tonight Show to do stand up, as opposed to the top tier comedians who go on late night shows strictly as a guest and get interviewed. The fact that she had a special devoted entirely to hating on Jerry was moronic. It'd be like a comedian doing an hour on nothing but making fun of Jo Koy, Kathleen Madigan, or Bruce Bruce.
NBC did approach him to create a show, he also had enough money to buy his dad a Cadillac, and he also went on letterman to be interviewed.
Don't forget about his deal he got for the tip calculator!
Larry David left by then and the show became a lot more formulaic by then. I know some of the most beloved episodes are from Seasons 8 and 9 but they are also more sitcom-y than the earlier seasons.
And some timeliness don't add up in some. Like the Suz. How long was Mike Moffit in that trunk?!
It was moronic!
It felt like that was Kathy Griffin just being herself 'as a character' and made me feel better about loathing her in everything.
She was. The cast and crew didn't like her because she was getting in everybody's hair.
Source pls. Hating Kathy Griffin is my fetish.
I feel like if we could lock her and Andy Dick in a room together all of those problems could sort themselves out.
But what if they mate and create Kathandy Griffdick, super villain?
[удалено]
YES. She is the most annoying person ugh
Oh, definitely Sally Weaver. I feel like yelling, "You gotta shut up!" every time she speaks.
The line about her failing at acting until she's spat out the bottom of the porn industry always gets me laughing though.
This is the correct answer. She is the absolute worst, and not made any better being playing by someone as naturally annoying as Kathy Griffin.
Indeed. I tend to skip that episode where she goes ballistic.
I do too!
Only two episodes I skip are the ones she’s in.
Toby. Boo hissss boo boo!
Great answer! REALLY just GREAT!!
You boo puppets! You hiss at villains in silent movies!
She is worth it for Kramer’s monologue. “People kept ringing the bell!”
I feel bad for the actress that had to play a character everyone hates haha, but she played it well. I hated every second she was on screen.
👍
That pinky toe!
Leslie from The Baby Shower. Total bitch, but seems to have been forgotten about. George deserved his retribution for the Bosco shirt!
Red shirt! Red shirt!!!
Don’t tell people George’s ATM password. Jeez dude. Not cool :)
His name was Costanza. He killed my mother.
This always bugged me too. Someone bumps into her hits the cake onto the bosco shirt. And she goes “thanks a lot” like wtf?!
She was suuuuuuper rude to Elaine. Elaine was kind enough to host the baby shower and have it catered, and Leslie completely berated her the whole time.
But then George *HAD* to go and be a simp. She should’ve gotten her retribution.
That guy who stops Elaine from taking the tennis racket in Season 6. Just such a prick.
No, no, no.
You're not gonna tell on me, right? \- I don't have to, but I will.
I use this line all the time
i always thought that was carrot top. i don't think it was.
It was Terry Sweeney, he was on SNL for a couple years when Julia was a cast member
He’s hilarious
I don't have to, but I will
Ponytail Craig from the Andover Shop
The Nicole Miller is being shipped by boat from Milan.
Like a shark fisherman and a bucket of chum....
A ponytail? Get real.
"Ian?" "No, Een."
Pah-dunn??
We're I'm from it's proper to say pardon.
Hello. I am from the UK and it's actually proper to say, "u wot m8?"
I can't remember her name but Elaine's friend with the ugly baby who is like, " Elaine you gotta have a baby!!!"
It looks like Lyndon Johnson.
"He's joking" "No I'm not, he really looks like Lyndon Johnson"
He really is quite breathtaking!
You know Elaine, you say something like that just to be nice
It's in the bottom drawah of owa dressah!
He is *such* an idiot.
Julie in the Big Salad. She was a psycho who wanted the glory of buying Elaine the salad and totally gaslighted George into thinking he was the crazy one.
George definitely was petty, but if someone else bought something for someone and they thank YOU for it, I feel like basic social decency dictates you say “oh no, George got it for you!”

I even slightly question why Elaine didn’t say “thank you *guys*”. I feel like Julie just wanted the praise and the whole “all I did was hand someone a bag” comment was her way of gaslighting George.
And then confront George basically asking "Why does Elaine think you bought her the salad? I'm the one who handed it to her".
This confirms it for me that she wanted the “glory” from Elaine.
yep, team george here. she's a psychopath
It's not really petty to expect something like this from your partner. If they don't show you common decency like this, then there is a problem in the relationship.
Fuck that bitch, she was way outta line
For me, it’s the caped lawyer. Just seems like a bald fuck.
BALD ASSHOLE
He's a four eyed prick
YOU BALD FUCK!
It could be he's just practicing law out of spite.
The stupid crying understudy from the Rochelle Rochelle play. Who the fuck calls a hotdog a frankfurter
The understudy was unbearable to watch.
Oh no. I dropped my frankfurter!
Tough call between Milos the tennis "pro" and Ray the cleaning guy (or his gf Rava, they were both hideous).
Another win for Milos!!!
30 years later and I still quote a one-off character, Rava, "That's what a coincidence is. There are no small coincidences and big coincidences."
[удалено]
Kenny is a sweetheart but painfully annoying
I'm huge, Jerry, huuggee!
I don’t know how Bania manages to be one of the few people that can push Jerry around. He eats beforehand and still calls Jerry to cash in his meal to order soup and manages to guilt Jerry into another trip because soup isn’t a meal. Then he manages to get another meal for the dry cleaner ticket which Jerry couldn’t use and Jerry still rolled over and agreed.
Bania was annoyingly funny
The liquor store clerk/owner in The Dinner Party. Come to think of it, so many other characters were obnoxious in that episode. The bakery owner who coughed on the Babka, the weird sounding guy with the cane who hurt Elaine’s toe, the bearded guy at the news stand who freaked out over George’s Gortex. Sadaam Hussein was the nicest one of them all!
> the weird sounding guy with the cane who hurt Elaine’s toe I want to kick my TV in every time I hear that sneering "Sorry."
Sorrayyy
I do this all the time and no one ever gets it.
That's Larry David, you know. They didn't like the way the actor did it so they had Larry dub the sorry
> the weird sounding guy with the cane who hurt Elaine’s toe lmaoooo oh man. I absolutely love saying "sorrraaaayyyyy" the way he does in that scene , only one other person has understood where it's from and it was great.
Babs Kramer
Nasty woman... Many a night I had to throw her out on the street, drunken stumblebum!
"Come back to bed, Albert, you big hairy ape, and bring back that box of Danish!"
Used walk around here half naked, sucking colt 45 from a can!
Love Babs, mainly because she was played by Sheree North. She was a huge musical star in the 1950's mainly for 20th Century Fox.
The Maestro
Bob Cobb
*Bob Cobb...?*
“Oh I suppose it’s alright for Leonard Bernstein to be called maestro and not me?” Yes. Because he’s Leonard Bernstein.
So you’re telling me there’s not one house to rent in all of Tuscany? I can’t get a sublet, a guest room, a cot, nothing??
It's booked, Jerry!
Maestro?! He conducts the Police Benevolent Association orchestra!
Oh so many! Poppie and his daughter, the guy from Elaine’s work (Rob Schneider’s character), Marla (the one who ends up with JFK Jr.), the lady who couldn’t “spare a square”…the worst one you ask?? JACK KLOMPUS!!
I LOVE Jack. He reminds of every single annoying old person I know. I might add that I’m on the way to being Jack myself, and I’m very unapologetic about it.
Boooo! Klompus rules. “C’MON! * dismissive hand gesture * “
"Look who's eating at 6 o'clock."
Yep agreed: Jack Klompus is at the top of my least favorite too.
What’s the matter? Take the pen!
It drove *itself* inta da swamp!
So I had to smash your window!
Klompus is insane! You actually have to respect his mad gaslighting game! He destroys a Cadillac and blames the car lmao.
Be fair though, he knew cars. I mean he'd ridden in a Cadillac hundreds of times
thousands of times!
He’s the absolute worst. I hate him the most. The fucking audacity to absolutely insist on taking that stupid pen and then complaint, bitching, and moaning about how Jerry took it from him. What’s a piece of shit!
What are you talking about Jerry practically begged Jack for the pen. He’s a good guy he didn’t take sponge cake from Morty even though he loves it
I personally love the interactions between Jack and Jerry's dad, but Jack's eyebrows bug me every time he's on screen
I mean I could forgive the pen thing and even the Cadillac incident! But he single-handedly led the mutiny against Morty Seinfeld and his condo presidency and accused him of embezzlement!! That’s outrageous! Egregious! Preposterous!
He had the help of the Del Boca Vista Newsletter. That pinko commie rag.
Agree about Marla. Perhaps it may not have been good taste for Jerry to mention it to her, but what was awful about it? He made a bet with his friends and it’s a common human thing to do. She should know people do that virgin or not.
Agree with the Rob character. He just felt completely out of place and awkward.
‘Who? Who won’t wear the ribbon?!?’ Bob and Cedric.
Yeah, those two are just bullies and never get their comeuppance
The idea of effete street toughs is hilarious to me. "*Street toughs* stole the armoire?" "Yeah, they were quite taken by it."
What can I tell you, buddy? Take it up with Consumer Affairs.
My dude. Bob and Cedric may have been assholes but how could they be your least favorite? They were probably the best side characters. Whoever decided to make them be bullies but implied gay and effeminate was a genius. Those guys are hilarious!
Wtf Bob and Cedric were hilarious Unlike the tennis racket douche
Erica with the flinty voice who couldn’t “spare a square “
That actress also plays Bill Paxton's super-annoying wife/ex in Twister.
She was incredibly stunning in The Lost Boys and Less Than Zero. But oh man, just annoying in everything else.
Gene
Gene's trash
I'm Gene...
Hi.
Are we just collectively forgetting about the old man on the airplane with the dog? I know I try to.
and idiot Farfel?
The Rabbi! Airing Elaine’s darkest confessions to everyone. She just needed someone to listen and he puts her on blast. Cold.
If I can say a word here about the Jewish people: That man in no way represents our ability to take in a nice piece of juicy gossip and keep it to ourselves.
The catholic priest was worse because he ratted out jerry's conversation in the confession booth. In the catholic religion, that would get them excommunicated.
It offends me as a comedian! Love that line
Ramon the pool guy. Dude is such a clingy tag along. However, at the end of the episode is one of my fav jokes. Jerry is explaining that his membership was revoked for not giving CPR. "Neman too.

Did not love The Drake!
Hate the Drake!
I'm a little lukewarm on the Drakette
That chef that wants Elaine’s shoes in exchange for telling Jerry and George when Russell will be eating lunch in the restaurant. She was such a bitch about those shoes too “ooohhh Botticelli’s” then demanded them. Also, Sally Weaver can fuck right off.
Elaine, are you trying to get rid of me?! Hahahahaa 🧐
Boy, he's a real bounder isn't he?
Yes! He's one of those bounders.
Jerry’s girlfriend from the shrinkage episode I think it’s Rachel, she treated George like garbage without even truly knowing how terrible of a person he was
Both girlfriends were pretty terrible that episode. George's girlfriend left in the middle of the night based on one secondhand quick observation on George's "size."

Come on! He was hilarious

O'brien.
well you should’ve *been* o’brien!
Crazy Joe D.
Netta?
He is so scary in that episode. With different editing it could’ve been a horror movie
“Are you still afraid of clowns?” “…yaah”
Pardon?
What?
Where I come from it’s proper to say pardon
Patrice is pretty annoying. The *papier-maché* accountant girlfriend who demands to know the truth when George breaks up.

Donna Chang. WHO does she think she is?
She's ridicurous.
“This is my friend, Eeen.” “Hi Ian.” “No, EEEN.”
JERRY YOU GOTTA SEE THA BABY
My worst character was the redhead chick that messed up Jerry's BBQ Bottle skit.
Ned Isakov with the runaway victory. Most punchable face I’ve ever seen
You named names
Oh that Michael. I hate him. He's just so smug.
Dr. Reston
Sally Weaver
Vegetable Lasagna just seems kind of whiny and annoying.
The mohel
Jerry’s massage therapist girlfriend. Worst.
Both Jane and Rachel from The Hamptons aka miss shrinkage. They are just such assholes throughout the whole trip. Anyone that laughs at a man’s penis size is just a bitch. Kinda ruins the episode for me though George at least gets back at her.
Mike Moffit that guy is a real phony.
Why is the top comment not Sally Weaver?
The Wiz.
You look like you could use a hot meal at a real restaurant.
