What was your least favorite character in all of Seinfeld? It can be a main character, a character with a minor role, etc. My least favorite, hands down, was Leslie from "The Baby Shower". She was such a jerk. It made me sick how Elaine and George sucked up to her.
George: "You might be beautiful and rich and physically...just unbelievable. But you sicken me! You disgust me! You and everyone like you!"
The rabbi that appeared in a couple episodes was very annoying.
--JKB
I agree, the Rabbi just wasn't funny.
Jerry's 'friend' Joel was also very annoying, but I think Jerry was brave enough to attempt a break up!
If you are talking annoying, then Kenny Bania is king!

That show with her had no purpose. Donny

I liked to watch Sally Weaver, especially in the show where she is doing a "Jerry Seinfeld is the devil" routine. That was hilarious.

We have to get this classic line right. It's "Soup's not a meal." But absolutely, Bania is way cool.
No, I didn't like the rabbi either.
Nor did I like the moil (sp?). (Entertainment Meekly correctly characterized him as "scene-stealing.")
As for Joel, I thought he was okay. (I don't like "pressed turkey" either: "Is there a real bird back there?") Wasn't he in one of the earliest episodes?

Am I the only person who liked the Rabbi ??
Anyway, my least favorite character was Sally Weaver, anyday.
NV.
At first, my least favorite character was George: I was taking him way too litteraly. Whinnie, awkward, uncomfortable with his appearance, constant loser, yaddi yadda...
Then I started to realize the depth of that character when he's trying to deal with his angst in a hostile environment. What a rich character they created!
They only thing I don't get about George is: how come he dates so many babes all the time. I think this error in writing clashes with the type of person he should be.

Exactly! If he wasn't so funny, he wouldn't have stolen the scene. Wasn't Lt. Bookman a scene stealer in "The Library"?
Yeah, #4 I think. "Male Unbonding". I would say Joel Hornick was my least favorite character. But then, that was their intention. Otherwise we wouldn't understand why Jerry was so anxious to 'unbond' with him.
Or maybe "Mr. Pocatello". Michael Chiklis played the absolute WORST drunk I've ever seen on TV.

dumb children with no parental supervision, and access to a hammer.I doubt that. (I found the monotonic voice grating.) But got a question for you: Was the Rabbi played by the same guy who played this mousy little fella I remember on Cheers named "Marshall"?
Hmmm. I think EW meant "scene-stealing" in a derogatory sense, like way over-doing it. So did I spell "moil" correctly?
Which one was he?
And here's another question for you, having seen recently your helpful commentaries at Amazon.com, the revised Seinfeld Universe (I didn't get the first one)--is this one worthhile? I like the Kathleen Tracy book too--read through a library copy ("what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library . . . ."), but I don't think I want a bio.

question
I remember that guy - didn't he convince Sam and Coach to bet against the Sox in one episode? The Rabbi was played by Bruce Mahler (a "Fridays" alum), but I'm pretty sure he didn't play Marshall.
way
I also didn't like the mohel [correct spelling]. I thought that was mainly an example of someone trying to steal a scene simply by being loud. It was overkill.
WORST
He was the guy who held the party where Kramer had to drive over at 2am and pick up Jerry and Elaine. Then he shows up unannounced at Jerry's and later leaves Jerry stuck to pay the hooker's bill. (episode "The Stranded"?)
--JKB
Yes, he was real nerdy and was using a computer or something to pick teams. (He also was believed to be carrying Carla's child in an episode, but that turned out to not be true.)
I guess they just look alike.
Most annoying character? How about that British guy who ended up with Banya's Armani suit (via Jerry)?
[email] wrote:
Yeah, that's good. (What was his name? Simon?) But of course he was supposed to be annoying; he did a great job.
That's one of the things I enjoyed the most; They way he spoke slowly and overenunciated every syllable.
I don't think it was him. Rabbi Glickman was played by Bruce Mahler, probably best known as 'Fackler' from the Police Academy movies. Anyway, his IMDB credits don't include any "Cheers" appearances.
But I assumed is was meant as an insult. My bad.
Nope. Mohel, but it's pronounced 'moil'.
He was the guy in "The Stranded" who has the dinner party on Long Island, the one where Elaine delivers the "Maybe the dingo ate your baby" line and Kramer shows up late to pick them up, then 'Steve' visits Jerry in the City and ends up getting drunk with Kramer and calling a prostitute. Anyway, the scene where Kramer and Steve are drunk and K-man's telling him that story about the doves that turned brown (?) and Chiklis was howling in the most horribly fake laugh I've ever heard.
If you never got the first one, then the revised version is a good book to have. If you had already had the first one, then I'd say there's really not enough new stuff added to warrant spending the extra money, unless you're like me and *must* have every single Seinfeld related book that's been published.
Most of the books are worth a read. With one or two notable stinkeroonies, most Seinfeld books are woorth the reada if you're a fan of the show.
I'd especially recommend "The Real Constanza". If you can put the whole lawsuit thing aside, this book offers a satisfying glimpse into what it must have been like to grow up being a friend of Jerry's.

dumb children with no parental supervision, and access to a hammer.Well, rather than a "Jewish thing," I bet often we like a character because it brings to mind someone we know or knew. I guess I've never known anyone to take like that.
I forgot imdb includes T.V.
???????
Oh, yes.
Is the Wayne Knight interview in the revised one?
I think if I saw the bio at a bookfair or library discard shelf I'd snatch it up without hesitation.
I definitely will; hadn't heard of this one.
Much obliged.
Jerry's original Dad. Glad he didn't take.

unbelievable.
Without a doubt, my least favorite has to be Jerry's old schoolmate Joel from the "Male Unbonding" episode; remember that guy who was nasty to the waitress, and just generally obnoxious, but Jerry just couldn't find a way to "break up" with him. This was before the writers really knew what Jerry's character was like; no way he would stand for the guy's behavior in later episodes (especially the waitress abuse). I just can't watch that episode any more, both for the obnoxious character and Jerry's being a "wuss" for not dumping the guy....
Mike.
I never liked that guy, the one who also works at "Third Rock from the Sun"... (sorry, I really can`t remember his name...) =)

while i agree with many of the characters mentioned (rabbi, mohel, etc.), i honesly could never stand kramer. yes, he is needed to compliment/contrast the others, and for many of the plots, but he was so overdone that i often found watching him unbearable. he pretty much rarely made me laugh. please don't get pissed at me for sharing one opinion, but i thought i'd toss this out there to see if anyone agrees...
[email] wrote:
Kramer did compliment the other characters from time to time. He told George he was a good looking guy but needed a "piece". He told Elaine she could run the Peterman company and he defended Jerry to Newman. Yes he did compliment them. I also think his "physical" character was a necessary complement balancing the "emotional", "intellectual" and "center" forces provided by George, Elaine and Jerry. This is a common collection of the four human elements in most epic literature.

Well, you've got one person who agrees with you! Kramer was a little too far fetched to be believable... (imho). I also didn't care much for Newman... as far as my favorite goes: George... hands down.
