If you've watched even a little "Seinfeld" in your life, you've probably picked up on the fact that the four central characters that make up the main cast — Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Kramer (Michael Richards), and George (Jason Alexander) — aren't particularly good people. In fact, you might go so far as to say that they're bad people, considering the reign of terror they inflict on pretty much everyone who crosses their paths over the nine seasons. Be it Jerry's overly meticulous criticisms, Elaine's misanthropic tendencies, Kramer's inability to fathom that his actions have consequences, or George's, well, everything, a major part of the humor in "Seinfeld" is laughing at the misadventures of four people we'd never want to hang out with.

To list every terrible thing a character did on "Seinfeld" would take a while, but one of the more quietly insidious traits of its crew is the cheapness of one George Costanza. Don't get us wrong; there is no crime in keeping your eye out for a deal or working extra hard to save some money, but George's unwillingness to pay out of pocket even for services he himself arranges is honestly legendary (and borderline terrifying). When Elaine calls him out for being "extremely careful" with his money in the Season 3 episode "The Truth," George nearly has a fit, but she has a point. Watching your expenses is a good thing, but George takes it to a place where people quite literally end up deceased.
