• The ending of the show kinda makes me think they were the original IASIP gang. Every other character outside of the main group thought they were assholes, and they literally went to jail for it.

      “haha, we knew we assholes along!”

      It was also universally hated by fans. IASIP made sure there was no confusion about the characters morality.

        That’s not why it was hated, it was hated because it was a bad and abrupt ending that didn’t go with the rest of the show.

        I don’t think anyone was under any illusions that the Seinfeld characters were supposed to be anything other than horrible people.

          There were definitely people who modeled their behavior or at least excused their actions based on Seinfeld. My aunt for instance.

          There’s a long, long history of idiots missing the point of various pieces of fiction. The Prince, Fight Club and the original MS Gundam come to mind. Yoshikazu Yasuhiko even felt the need create Gundam: The Origin because too many kids thought Gundam’s message was “War is cool”.
