George Costanza (Jason Alexander)

George is chronically unemployed, usually single and lives with his parents, but he's still ridiculously picky about women. Our favorite George moment: The "shrinkage" episode.

George is chronically unemployed, usually single and lives with his parents, but he's still ridiculously picky about women. Our favorite George moment: The "shrinkage" episode.
Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards)

Kramer has us howling from the second he walks (falls?) in the door. Our favorite Kramer episode: When he lands a normal job, only for the boss to figure out that he has "no business experience whatsoever."
Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus)

Elaine's trademark "GET OUT!" is legendary, but our favorite Elaine moment is when John F. Kennedy Jr. renders her unable to be "master of her own domain."
Jerry Seinfeld (Jerry Seinfeld)

Whether he's talking about "man hands" or "close talkers," nobody tells a "Did you ever notice?" joke like Seinfeld.
Newman (Wayne Knight)

The mischievous mailman always gets on Jerry's nerves ... leading the comedian to mutter, "Hello, Newman."
Estelle Costanza (Estelle Harris)

George's overbearing mother is hilarious for her voice alone, especially when she calls him "Georgie!"
J. Peterman (John O'Hurley)

From his exotic adventures to his ridiculous catalog, Mr. Peterman was Elaine's most hilarious boss.
Uncle Leo (Len Lesser)

Jerry's shoplifting, elderly uncle was a regular scene-stealer on the show.

The "Seinfeld" gang lost a beloved cast member on Wednesday when Len Lesser, who played Jerry's Uncle Leo, passed away at 88 from cancer-related pneumonia.

"I'll never forget when Uncle Leo was in prison and tattooed 'Jerry Hello' on his knuckles," Jerry Seinfeld said in a statement to the New York Daily News, referring to the episode in which Uncle Leo is arrested after Jerry
catches him shoplifting a book.

Seinfeld added that Lesser was "a very sweet guy" and that the cast "always loved having him on the show."

Fellow "Seinfeld" cast member Jason Alexander tweeted his tribute, also referring to Leo's trademark slogan, "Jerry! Hello!"

"Len was a tremendous guy," he wrote. "He was a smart actor/comedian who knew exactly what he was doing in the creation of Uncle Leo."

"Hellooo Uncle Leo," he added. "And goodbye. Sleep well. Much love."

George

George, with Kramer close behind... George is the most relatable character, and Jason Alexander is the best actor. George, "I can't carry a pen! I'm afraid I'll puncture my scrotum..."

Kramer was a bit of a lose cannon and I really liked his character. Too bad he turned out to be racist against black people.

He's awesome! Honestly I can barely stand any of the characters except him. I barely ever watch the show but when I do it's only because Jerry is hilarious.

My favorite one is any character on the show that replaced this one. It wasn't funny. Larry David is the most overrated douchebag in TV.

Frank Costanza - George's father. Who could not love the man who did so much for the promotion of Festivus! His lawyer wore a cape, his move (with women) was to "stop short," he co-invented the mansiere, he gave his whole squad in Korea food poisoning, he played pool without pants...

Why is there no "All of the above" option?

I love all of the above and more! Newman, the Costanzas, Bania, Steinbrenner, and too many others to name

I like George because I think most people can relate to him in some way, Kramer wouldn't be my friend in real life. he is always starting trouble, but never actually involved.

I'd have to say George's father. I loved his orange hair, and how he yelled even when he whispered. I love Festivus, his mansierre, and his TV Guide collection.

Another favorite of mine is Joey Debola the psycho who went out with Elaine.

Gerard said, hearing my pleading voice from amidst the crowd was an inspiration to him. And he never was so happy to be drinking tap beer from bad pipes in all our mispeant youth up to that point. A perfect storm of beer gas and pure NYC comedy.

It couldá been a Seinfeld episode.
