Current Events > Who's the biggest asshole in Seinfeld's main cast? >_>

(+) Yeah! (+)

imo in terms of asshole-ery:
George > Jerry > Elaine > Kramer

Accurate

For me it's: George > Elaine > Jerry > Kramer

Elaine did a ton of assholish things in the show.

She did but I think Jerry did worse stuff, like stealing marble rye from an old lady

George is obviously the biggest one. Jerry and Elaine are about even. Both have done some pretty awful things. I can't remember Kramer ever really being that much of an asshole at least purposely. Unless you're talking about real life...

George is a sociopath
Jerry is a narcissist
Elaine is neurotic
Kramer is just bizzare

Also in that order. George should legitimately be locked away, if he were a realt person he would be a ticking time bomb for some atrocious act.

People underestimate how much of an asshole Kramer was. He always put people in horrible situations with his antics. It wasn't as purposeful as the others, and he didn't know what he was doing, but he was a psychopath and it effected people around him. Plus all the barging into Jerry's house and eating his food and just generally being a huge nuisance.

To me, George is the biggest asshole, then Kramer, then Elaine, then Jerry. He at least seems to be self-aware and struggles with morality when making choices, even if he usually makes the bad choice.

Currently on season 4 of Seinfeld in my rewatch and I generally agree with this

I'd agree with this rating.

Yeah I'm not sure if being completely oblivious to the damage and inconvenience you're causing to people makes you less of an asshole.

George easily tops the list for bowling over the kids and old ladies when a fire broke out in the kitchen.

An argument could be made for everyone after.

That's true and all, but I still wouldn't put him above Elaine or Jerry. They had done worse.

George > Elaine > Jerry > Kramer

Jerry is just straight forward doesn't necessarily make him an asshole. Elaine hides behind her womanhood and makes Jerry do some of the asshole stuff since he's the man. If anybody did anything she didn't agree with she would try to force her views on them.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say 'the guy that was obscenely racist towards a heckler and tanked his own career'.

I think TC was referring to their characters not the actors themselves.

What the hell are you talking about he was clearing the way so they could get out.
George is the real hero.

Kramer literally nearly killed a whale.

I legit think the only reason Jerry never moved was because he couldn't get as nice of an apartment for as cheap as he must have been paying in NYC

"Shut up ya old bag!"

Kramer>Jerry>George>Elaine.

People give a Kramer a pass but he is pest who over and over doesn't care about anyone else.

I think Jerry liked Kramer always coming over and eating his food. Kramer fed on Jerry's food and also Jerry's ego. He was like some big shot being able to take care of his friend and himself. Kramer was a shitty friend, but for characters of his type (the stereotypical slacker/out of box thinker/bad friend archetype) he wasn't that bad.

Kramer was awful to Susan. He stole her GF, burned down her Fathers cabin, and threw up on her.

Depends on why you are oblivious honestly. Do you have genuinely and significant mental deficiencies/disorders or are you just willfully blind?

I found it interesting that in the series finale when they were going through the sins of each character, Kramer only got one flashback whereas the rest of them got several (and I'm talking solo flashbacks, not group ones, his was the wheelchair incident). Did they just not have enough material to cover Kramer more than once?

I think I missed that episode of Seinfeld. >_>

George is a lying manipulative vindictive sociopath.

Tbf, if Jerry had an issue with Kramer busting in his house, he would just lock the door, and it's not like Jerry has valuable food. All he has in his house is the entire cereal section from his local grocery store.

There was an episode where Jerry locked the door for an unrelated issue. He was talking to Elaine or George and you just suddenly hear a loud thud from Kramer smashing into it.

And for me it would be less the food, and more the other shit he does. Like take Jerry's counter up to use a meat slicer then use his washcloth to clean it with harsh chemicals.

Kramer also busts in on Jerry all the time when he's with a girl and still decides to go in after seeing she's there >_>

I would actually say George > Elaine > Jerry = Kramer.

George is obviously the absolute worst. Elaine can be pretty bad too.

Jerry is a bit narcissistic, but at least he does some selfless things. Like buying his parents a car, just because. Kramer is oblivious and insensitive, but he has done selfless things too, like abandoning his recycling scam to track Jerry's stolen car and the expensive Kennedy clubs for Elaine.
