Question

Fans debate whether Kramer ever has good ideas or solves problems, concluding his character mainly creates chaos and misunderstandings for comedic effect rather than genuinely helping situations.

It seems to me, that most, if not all, situations involving Kramer seem to go awry. I would like to know if Kramer has had any GOOD ideas? Have any of Kramer's ideas actually enhanced any situations (besides comic relief) or alleviated any problems?

Only one I can think of is when Kramer saved Toby's toe, stuffed it in a Cracker Jack box, beat up the would - be bus hijacker, drove the bus after the driver passed out and kept makin' all the stops.

I don't think Kramer has solved any problems.

The purpose of his character is mainly to create problems. I think when writing each episode the writers ask themselves: "Okay, which character's story line could evolve better with a little problem created by Kramer". He's the one creating misunderstandings... and misunderstandings always brings out comedy real easily.

But I might be wrong... it's really late and I'm hungry

Didn't Kramer say something in the Thanksgiving Party (Mr Pitt and Woody WoodPecker) that he, like Woody, was a trouble maker (or something to that effect?

No, actually I think he was referring to Jerry as the troublemaker after Jerry knocked the Empire State Building statue out the window, then gave the ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (the Woody Woodpecker laugh).
