Who on the show do you think was underrated? It could be a major character or a minor character

MillenniumMan831 · 08-15-2004, 01:16 PM

I thought Sid, the car parker, was a little underrated. But he was only in a couple of early eps anyways. Whenever I bring him up to Seinfeld fans, the #1 response I get is,

"Who?"

One person you don't hear too many people talking about as a performer was the show's co-creator Larry David. His voice over work as the manic George Steinbrenner was always funny. Those episodes are always great.

George Steinbrenner was hilarious, I never knew it was Larry David.

I think that Lloyd Braun wasnt in nearly enough episodes, the ones he was in were absolutely great.

I also really like Jerry's uncle and parents as well as Georges parents, but I think they are all pretty popular

Richard Fancy - Mr. Lippman, he started out pretty normal (fireing George) but he refused to shake hands with the Japanese, sold MuffinfreakinTops, went into business with Kramer, and fell for Elaine. He had some good moments.

Maestro · 08-16-2004, 06:56 PM

Yeah, the Lippman character was good.

Frank & Estelle together and apart are hilarious. Good comedians.

I can't help but agree with TJL's take on Larry David's many cameos characters. Not so much the actual characters, but LD as them & the big joke of it all.

Puddy & Peterman did a good job.
& my off pick is "Crazy" Joe Davola, 'cause he can kick ass & all.

Wasn't Larry David the voice of the guy on the plane who ordered the kosher meal? Lippman was a good character. What ever happened to the landlords-the one American guy and the shorter Hispanic guy? They, as far as I know, were only in one or two early episodes. One was when Elaine wanted the apartment upstairs from Jerry.

sinatrastar · 08-20-2004, 12:26 PM

They were only in the one episode. They could have made another appearence though given the amount of time the show spent in that "stinking" apartment.

And I think that was Larry David who yelled out on the plane.

Uncle Leo is my favorite..

"Hello"

Talking about bosses... I always liked Mr. Kruger... he ran a tight ship.

From throwing Georges cloths in the water to donating to the Human Fund to Festivus Dinner.

Remember the Aids walk. When Kramer refused to wear the ribbon. THose 2 guys cracked me up. Especially the o ne that yelled "who won't wear the ribbon" with the spanish accent added.

Maestro · 08-22-2004, 06:58 PM

They look like armoire thieves

sinatrastar · 08-22-2004, 07:45 PM

The sad thing is the one guy died of Aids in 2001, and the other guy was trampled by a horse while watching a parade.

Just kidding.

Holy Crud! You almost had me there.
