Kinda amazing that nobody in this whole thread did any research on why seinfeld is offensive... Just reacting to a meme from fox news.

that s an interesting point. I love offensive humor though. anyone know where I can watch this?
edit: lol. nothing offensive there
that was so not offensive it hurt.
Maybe an episode about an minor pursuing Elaine written by someone who's ok with dating a minor when he was 35 should be raising questions. Or when they had an episode pushing Tort reform when they made fun of the woman who was burnt by scolding hot McDonalds coffee.
Seinfield, both the character and person, is just a selfish, unsympathetic person and we're suppose to view the world though. I'm glad he's being called out for his shallow snark. This has been a long time coming.
The whole show was people being shallow characters. That was the point.
In fairness on the coffee thing, few people have heard the whole story, even now. I think most people today still believe the story was "woman sues because coffee was hot and she got a little burned, and the jury went nuts" and don't know or care about the actual details.
It's not a lie, if you believe it
Even at the young age of middle school watching that show, I knew George was a shitty person. Yet, I still felt sympathy for him because of his parents. Regardless, my favorite character was Frank Costanza. He was so over the top and emotional. The dude had PTSD from soldiers in Korea not liking his food in the field mess hall 😂
