Fans debate why Kramer gets along with the Soup Nazi despite being unpredictable, with some noting Kramer's adherence to rules and others attributing it to his general charm.

I know there is the scene where the Soup Nazi is talking to Kramer and is angry about the chest being stolen and the crime in the city.

I just can't believe that of all people to get along with the Soup Nazi, Kramer is the one. I would think he would screw up the ordering process almost immediately.

Kramer's character is almost rigid in his adherence to "the rules". Remember in the episode where Jerry wants him to chaperone his date with the Miss America candidate and he wants Kramer to get lost after dinner so they can be alone but Kramer adamantly refuses because "those are the rules" and "that's the way I was raised"?

Don't forget the episode when Jerry asked Kramer if he would rat on him if he killed someone and Kramer said he definitely would. It was the episode when Kramer spilled coffee on himself at the cinema, and Jerry turned him in.

Hi, I am wondering about Kramer's strict adherance to the 'rules'. He encourages Jerry to pee in the parking garage, asking him if he ever gets tired of following the rules...then again, he was adamant about the guy picking up the golf ball, and not playing it where it lies. A few contradictions to ponder.

So true. He was on the same channel as the soup nazi. He admired his fanatic attitude.

I think Kramer gets along with most people,even Newman,remember when Kramer was betting that guy at the airport on which plane would arrive first and K needed some $,he called Newman and Newman brought his prized mailbag to act as collateral..I wonder if Newman came there to help K or because Newman knew that K use to have a gambling problem and wanted to undue any good that K's non gambling for several years did.

Not to mention he convinced Jerry to get illegal cable...

I think it's because Kramer recognizes and respects his artistry with the soup, and the Soup Nazi knows this. Whenever any of the others complain about how mean he is, Kramer always counters by saying that he (S.N.)suffers for his art.
