Fans found humor in Susan's demise from toxic wedding invitations
After quite the on-again, off-again relationship, fan-favorite George Costanza (https://www.looper.com/909389/why-some-seinfeld-fans-think-george-is-the-real-star-of-the-show/) (Jason Alexander) and Susan Ross (Heidi Swedberg) are finally making the preparations to get married in Season 7. However, George isn't exactly ecstatic about the impending nuptials.
When it comes time to choose their wedding invitations, he insists on getting the cheapest option. Yet there's a reason they're so affordable — the glue on the envelopes is toxic. With each one Susan licks, she becomes woozier and woozier until she passes out and, ultimately, dies. Rather than mourn this loss, George, Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer are blasé toward the situation. Susan's doctor later describes George's reaction as "restrained jubilation."
On Reddit, u/Light-Yagami_ (https://www.reddit.com/r/seinfeld/comments/sv9igv/was_susans_death_too_much/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) asked whether or not Susan's departure from "Seinfeld" was in poor taste. "I've actually had people tell me that they stopped liking the show after Susan's death and how George acted afterward," this user said.
Yet many fans begged to differ. In one reply, u/mo3ron (https://www.reddit.com/r/seinfeld/comments/sv9igv/comment/hxes56j/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) said, "If it was some real tragic relatable death I think it wouldn't have worked as well." Another response by u/almosthuman2021 (https://www.reddit.com/r/seinfeld/comments/sv9igv/comment/hxescpk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) added, "Idk I could see how it could be too much but I think it's hilarious. I liked that Seinfeld didn't mind doing really dark comedy and also the fact even in death the show wasn't going to have an emotional moment."
Some fans, like u/bltyeg (https://www.reddit.com/r/seinfeld/comments/sv9igv/comment/hxexgcy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), even shared George's feeling of restrained jubilation given Susan's regular spats with his friends. "[F]or me, there was a real sense of relief when Susan's character dies. And I mean the cheap envelope glue? It works. She and George brought out the worst in each other and she had to go."
