Seinfeld: Reasons why someone has been dumped
Im trying to think of as many as I can, but I have brain block lately. The most popular examples I can give are:

For having "man hands"
For eating peas one at a time
For getting mad at Jerry when he does the "Helllooooo La La La" thing
For not knowing the name of the woman he was dating
For "the pick" (or scratch, it's debatable)
For being a hipster doofus

2. For being
an unfortunate shill in a TV show written by a desperately unfunny, mullet-headed little turd who obviously has huge issues with women?

I really wasn't trying to kill the thread. Twas but a drunken brainfart.

But to be honest I suppose I don't really know what anyone was meant to say to that...

28. Uh huh...
I don't find Seinfeld funny, but I suppose that's entirely subjective. There's no accounting for funny.

But in every episode I've seen - I've watched about five - the formula has been the same:

1: Woman agrees to go out with Jerry/George.
2: Jerry/George decides they don't like woman, for "hilarious" reasons such as those listed in this thread.
3: Woman is dumped and then made to look stupid/humiliated.

The two I can remember: Woman ends up being kept in prison unjustly, because George lies about her as a character witness because he apparently likes his women to be in jail ('I always knows where she is'); and Woman who's been dumped by Jerry gets a balloon full of crude oil dropped on her head. I mean, tee fucking hee.

I know many great sitcoms are about 'losers' and generally objectionable people - Homer Simpson, though well-meaning, is basically an asshole - but I don't know what it is about this one that just misfires so badly for me. What am I missing? Why do intelligent people like this show?

6. And for eating a pastrami sandwich while having sex
I don't if this counts as being dumped, but George's fiancee died from licking envelopes with poisonous glue.

25. For being too much like Jerry -- two different incidents!
One was Janeane Garafolo: she was dating Jerry, and they were so much alike they had a great time together and he was going to marry her, but then because they were so much alike he broke up with her.

Another time, George was dating a woman who reminded people of Jerry in a number of ways. George got real paranoid because it was like he was 'dating Jerry' and he broke up with her.

31. For "shh-ing" Jerry during a TV show
He also broke up w/ a woman because she had a "bad" laugh.
And a woman broke up w/ him for the panty crack ("The ones your Mother laid out.")
And George broke up w/ a woman for beating him at Chess.
Also Elaine admitted to breaking up w/ a guy because his bathroom was dirty.
