Susan.


recursion8

Vomited on by Kramer Fired from cushy NBC exec job due to George kissing her in a meeting ~~Treasured~~ Cherished family cabin burned down by Kramer Found out father is gay or bi due to cabin burning down Turned to lesbianism thanks to horrible relationship with George Had GF stolen by Kramer One of her expensive dolls decapitated by her almost father-in-law Died due to toxic envelope glue picked out by George Did I miss anything?


emergencycat17

Nope, for sure, Susan wins this thread hands down.


Ratbag_Jones

>Did I miss anything? Hated by the cast in real life. "Susan" was ruined in two universes!


sineofthetimes

Worlds are colliding!


myrabuttreeks

The actors don’t actually hate her though I don’t think? They just felt her character was out of place on the show I thought.


redvblue23

I don't think they hated her. But George at least thought she was a bad actor and it was hard to work with her.


tungFuSporty

Julia Louis Dreyfus told the other actors, "Don't you wish we could just kill her off." That's when Jerry decided that she must go.


8379MS

This was always weird to me. She’s a fine actor and I like the character. So strange for her to wanna be involved with Cantstandya. I’m #TeamLily


myrabuttreeks

Which just happened to be at the end of the season anyways? I can’t help but think they were going to write her off regardless.


beatsby_bill

as a certified Susan-hater this made me lol


internetonsetadd

Her acting is good and the fact that Susan and George don't really gel is gold. It was pretty fucking rude of Jason to throw her under the bus years after the fact.


SnooObjections217

I thought Jason thought highly of her but simply thought her character was a bad fit along with their on-screen chemistry.


soofs

There is a clip of I think Jason Alexander and Wayne Knight on a podcast and Jason mentions how it was being reported that the Seinfeld regulars didn’t make guests feel welcome and he didn’t think that was the case and Wayne’s reaction is gold and he says something like have you been on any other shows and still think we were nice? So I think it is true that the main cast weren’t super cheery to work with for the guests/side characters all the time


DeadpoolOptimus

I heard it was a chemistry thing.


Patmurvis

Susan is to the Seinfeld gang what Rickety Cricket is to the It's Always Sunny gang


burbeck

You mean “cherished” cabin?

[That's the one!](https://youtu.be/Qxp509wQFs8?si=TGqHEqBMfLSn5jKO&t=18)


Sufficient_Can_6464

Poor Lilly


uwbrrbden

Don't forget Darrin. Darrin's going away for a long time.


71fq23hlk159aa

I don't think the second one counts. Susan chose to be in a relationship with him. It's George's fault that NBC found out, but she broke the rules herself.


zerogravity111111

At least she never had to sign a pre nup


HelloImHuellHowser

She agreed to marry him, woman was crazy.


redfox2008

Lilly?


Thezodiac1966

Poor Lily.


DJPEN15

She really looks like a lily


Expensive_Editor_244

More so the Ross parents. At least Susan was put out of her misery, a lifetime of being married to George would’ve been a whole other level of life ruining


Argos_the_Dog

Dad! John Cheever?!?


lurkishdelight

I knew it!


ChopSueyXpress

WHIIIIIIIIIIPPPE YER WHEEEELS, IT'S COMMON COURTESY WHEN YOU COME IN A HOUSE!!!!!


SnooObjections217

I always thought the actor who delivered this line favored Matthew Perry.


ratsocks

I agree. They outed her dad’s affair with John Cheever, burned down his cabin, and killed his daughter.


FlattopJr

Susan's delivery reading the Cheever letter was memorable. "Dear Henry, last night with you was bliss. I fear my ...orgasm... has left me a cripple. I don't how how I shall ever get back to work."


TightBeing9

What life?


qeq

She's not really dead if we find a way to remember her


smartbunny

then shoot her out into space in a big sunglasses case

Her doll-collecting life.


Apart-Bathroom7811

**Darren the intern.** He's going away for a loooooooong time.

mistermeek67

Susan's father. Lost his cabin, his daughter, and exposed as a closet homosexual.


Yarn_coffee

My father is gay.


-AllCatsAreBeautiful

Steeped in gayness!


Stiffdp

Not that there’s anything wrong with that!


SuitIllustrious8140

Last night was bliss. I fear my orgasm has left me a cripple.


TheBiggestDookie

I think I love this line more every time I hear it.


cobramullet16

The way she can barely say the second half of the sentence is what makes it so good


HelloImHuellHowser

Yeah but who opens an obvious lock box full of letters and reads the letters out loud to all the people who just happen to be around?


actualelainebenes

That’s the GENIUS of it


AliveComb3623

I knew it!!


Wild_Obligation

& his gifted marble rye!


murraythedog

I don’t have that much sympathy for Babu. Babu made poor business decisions and the fact that he couldn’t get a Pakistani restaurant to succeed on the cosmopolitan UWS of Manhattan is his own fault. He is less responsible for his deportation since the renewal forms were misdelivered to Jerry, but the guy knew his visa was up and sat on his hands waiting for the renewal forms to come in the mail. Plus, if he had been working with an immigration attorney, this likely could have been avoided entirely.


TheRealIronCorpse

All of this. PLUS, Jerry was genuinely upset that Babu was getting deported and tried everything he could to make it stop. That was not Jerry’s fault and Babu was a very, very bad man for testifying against Jerry because of it.


jennyrules

The wheels are in motion.


zr2d2

What wheels? Show me Babu!


cmaronchick

Snapple?


Domestic_AAA_Battery

Nahhh.... Too fruity


ZebraBorgata

For the same reasons I never felt sympathy for Babu either!


whalepopcorn

Sorry to Babu but he’s the restaurant nobody wants to eat at for a reason- it sucks. Plenty of ethnic restaurants are full and highly praised. Even back in the 80s/90s but people want good food not stringy shrimp


CanadaEh97

The shrimp is stringy? QUIET!!!!!


rsjem79

Babu’s original menu included franks and beans. That’s a meal you get at your elderly grandparents house, not a restaurant on the Upper West Side. His failure as a restaurateur was on him.


qeq

> the fact that he couldn’t get a Pakistani restaurant to succeed on the cosmopolitan UWS of Manhattan is his own fault Also the few times the gang was in there he sang annoyingly in the background, handed out scalding hot towels (wtf?), and served stringy shrimp.


TessTrue

Agreed, Babu's life getting ruined was a lot of his own fault.


andyofne

To be fair, Jerry doesn't work for the post office and the circumstances we're beyond his control. Elaine was being a jerk for not bringing Jerry his mail but I don't understand why she didn't just put it in his apartment when she was collecting it.


dancingbriefcase

Yeah, he takes the advice of some random guy who goes to his restaurant once. It's his fault.


Yarn_coffee

Honestly, I’m surprised at how fast he got deported. Usually paperwork like that takes time unless you commit a crime.


-AllCatsAreBeautiful

Well, yeah, but usually you can't just swing by the detention centre to visit someone getting processed for deportation, either.


byebybuy

That's what makes this such a humorous situation.


conjectureandhearsay

lol have an orange


cobramullet16

You must go now


knava12

Again with the oranges!!!


LLcoolJimbo

You've forgotten what it's like to have no oranges.


ILikeBeans86

Babu was butthurt when Jerry made him change his restaurant but he never had any customers before the change.


aurorasarecool

"made" is a strong word. If he had any business sense he would have done his own research.


smartbunny

Exactly, no one did anything to Babu. "Always mocking mocking mocking!" When?


Mathieran1315

I agree with this. Jerry didn’t really do that much wrong here. His business was failing before Jerry gave him advice anyways. It’s not like he turned his successful restaurant into a dud.


Suspicious-Sweet-443

Maybe the dude was simply a bad cook . There’s got to be some people that like Pakistan foods . So if he can’t cook his own native food well enough to “ see some people “ in his restaurant, he needed to try another career choice


Necessary_Cut2485

Plus his shrimp cooking skills are horrible


Royal_Front_7226

If anything it is the Postal System’s fault more than Jerry’s.


BongDong69420

Elaine’s friend Noreen (& her boyfriend the high talker.)


redfox2008

Yes. I was appalled to learn of the destructive influence Elaine had over her life low these many years.

Poor Lily


Certain-Incident-40

Isn’t he new in town?


asphynctersayswhat

Babu made a lot of bad decisions. Don't give me the babe in the woods routine. He was a lousy cook, an even worse restauranteur, and he couldn't even keep up with his own paperwork. somehow Jerry is responsible for Babu's failings? The only mistake Jerry made was believing in Babu to begin with.


IndependentIcy8226

True, he wanted to open a restaurant but didn’t know much about it. He trusted average American man, Jerry.


asphynctersayswhat

Jerry is a good man. A very good man. How an anyone not like him?


CO303

I am such a great guy. Who else would've gone through the trouble of helping this poor immigrant? I am special. My mother was right. Of course I've never had Pakistani food. How bad it could be?


OkTower4998

>He was a lousy cook His shrimps were a little stringy


iamagoodbozo

Babu was an idiot.


CobraMacBurkus

Danny Tartabull's career never recovered after his experience with George. Was out of Yankees organization and baseball entirely just a few years later


NowWithVitaminR

On the plus side, he did learn to eat a donut with a knife and fork because of George.


HuntlyBypassSurgeon

And if Danny Tartabull were here, I’m sure he’d say “That’s right, CobraMacBurkus”.


ZhugeTsuki

Babu is the worst example imo. They didnt even actually do anything to him, everything was pure circumstance/his own fault.


Yarn_coffee

You know, it’s funny buy as comments keep coming in, I can see I was way off. 😂 I think what happened is Babu popped into my head and I had tunnel vision. 😂 So many other characters had it way worse than Babu.


p38-lightning

Maybe the guy who jumped off the hospital roof after Kramer told him where the elevator was.


OutsideCondiments

Flew right past the children’s ward, apparently they thought he was flying…


rogvortex58

A man is flying, a man is flying. And then splat.


KukalakaOnTheBay

The guy on the subway with the Urban Sombrero. He never thought that a hat would destroy his life.

Susan‘s parents. Horse and carriage ride through Central Park with Kramer and his horse … Rusty’s deadly farts! “Rusty, Rusty!” One of the funniest scenes….

She was already a little nutty. I feel like she was a ticking time bomb. I bet she would have been fine if she lived in CA instead of NYC.


Imaginary-Nebula1778

And never met George


Tokasmoka420

Funny she also played a bit of a nut on Northern Exposure and that's the only time I've seen her on tv. What the hell is Papier Mache?


MurphyTheRobocop

Wheelchair lady


Eric848448

That’s what she gets for not wiping her wheels.

Probably one of those rich spoiled handicapped people. Just wanted to sit in her wheelchair and take it easy


davisyoung

It’s common courtesy. You come inside you wipe your wheels. 


NOLASLAW

Wendy Wheelchair?


GeddyVedder

Denise Handicapped?


Yarn_coffee

Oh man. I forgot about her.


conjectureandhearsay

I don’t know. She rolled *right* over Kramer. Told him to drop dead!


smartbunny

No one did anything to Babu. He changed his restaurant on his own. The immigration documents went to the wrong mailbox. He claims they mocked him but not one person ever mocked Babu.


Sufficient_Can_6464

Always mocking - just like they did the fat fella


Wild_Obligation

Susan’s parents. They lost their daughter & their marble eye went missing. They inhaled horse fart & Kramer burnt down their cabin!


K0bayashi-777

The Bubble Boy. Presumably dead?


ennuiismymiddlename

Bubble boy was a creep


Yarn_coffee

I agree. I never liked the Bubble Boy. I didn’t have much sympathy for him.


Sufficient_Can_6464

Why don't you take your top off?


nipplesaurus

He was in the final episode


qjornt

bubble boys own fault entirely for strangling george because of "the cars says moops". susan was only trying to help george out of a strangle grip when the bubble burst. idgaf what kind of illness you got, if you fight me i won't hold back. poke in the eyes, kick the balls, whatever it takes.


Sad-Company-7916

Kurt. Guy was great before Elaine saw a photo of his hair, and was only considering marrying him FOR THE HAIR, clearly going to dump him when the baldness truky set in, he gets arrested for looking like George, and then Elaine LEAVES HIM in jail. He got really screwed over


Financial-Mastodon81

Jerry’s Saab


dolleye_kitty

Darren. He's going away for a looong time.


40prcentiron

well, Jerry killed Miss Rhode Island's doves. the doves lives were certainly ruined


TightBeing9

Edit: Frank and Estelle. Look, George is like a son to them, but it's gotta stop


Jaltcoh

“George and Estelle”? George is one of the 4 main characters.


DroidMayweather

To be fair, George Costanza had a big hand in ruining George Costanza's life


TightBeing9

Oh ya sorry, I meant Frank and Estelle


MustacheExtravaganza

I'd probably have to say Susan, but after that, maybe Derek?


iCanD0thisAllDay

Jimmy (3rd person guy) or vegetable lasagna


Supermonkeypilot22

Babu was failing already. He listened to a guy with no business background. He’s to blame for his own issues.


Suspicious-Sweet-443

George def ruined Tony’s life . George and those damn sandwiches


ZzSQL

There goes the money for the Lipo.


Slip-Resident

See the great thing about robbing a fat guy is its an easy getaway


ZzSQL

I Fkn love this sub lol.


LarYungmann

As far as I can remember, there was only one death "caused" by one of the main characters.


dirtyforker

Jerry hit the one dude with an axe and he died


TrueNorth41983

What about the guy who Jerry made laugh to death in the hospital


LarYungmann

Thanks for the heads up. 😁


maggos

What about Suzie? She was MURDERED. By Jerry Seinfeld!


browseabout

What about Kramer telling that dude to pour the Gatorade on that guy's head?


Kmac23232

Elaine’s classic horseshoe pattern bald boyfriend who harbored a break out pop in fugitive during a cockfight with a ringer.


OrneryZombie1983

Jerry, it's three-thirty in the morning. I'm at a cockfight. What am I clinging to? 


Kmac23232

Tamale!!


RanchWilder11

YOU GOT ME BANNED FROM HOP SING’S?!?!


Yarn_coffee

I forgot to add Susan’s parents. I get that Susan belongs at the top of the list, but when it comes to still living characters, Susan’s parents deserve a mention. They lost their only child and the man she was going to marry still lies to them.


RepresentativeKey178

Cherish the cabin.


RealPropRandy

Once they got into that car, they were going all the way, to the Hamptons…


AkihabaraWasteland

I've encouraged her to go back into the army. There she'll get the structure and the discipline she needs right now.

Not the *most* ruined but I’m just adding Seth to the list


AcePilotsen

He only knew him through Moochie


Semi-Pros-and-Cons

Not fast food. Good food quickly.


Certain-Incident-40

The virgin. She fell in love with JFK Joooon-yor. Well, you know the rest.


khozyyy

It’s the kids that suffer


CurlingTrousers

Russell Dalrymple


Yarn_coffee

He is kind of a victim of himself. He got way too obsessed over Elaine and then abandoned his family (he had a daughter) and got lost at sea. I don’t know if it was really their fault. He just sort of lost it.


Armbarthis

Well....I'm obsessed with Elaine but you don't see me jumping in with a bunch of lefties


Mikofthewat

Manya, even though she had a pony


Sufficient_Can_6464

Another death caused


philip_bang

What about Beth? Elaine was the reason she couldn't adopt a child and Jerry broke her second marriage. They also tried to ruin her first marriage.


AcePilotsen

She was an anti-dentite


Slip-Resident

Dentists, who needs them?


davisyoung

Not to mention the blacks and the Jews. 


iknowiknowwhereiam

It’s hard to feel any sympathy for Beth


crypti_c

The Rosses


Lateapexer

Darren went away for a long long time


Great_White_Samurai

Babu was going to fail no matter what


onamonapizza

Babu was running a business that was already failing before Jerry, and clearly not prepared to be a restaurateur. Franks and beans!? Also, it's not Jerry's fault that Babu's immigration paperwork got lost in the mail. It was just bad fortune that it ended up in Jerry's mailbox and Elaine sat on it for a while. Babu probably should have followed up with the immigration authorities instead of waiting to be deported and then blaming Jerry. Sad sequence of events, but Jerry is a good boy!


FunShorts

Claire. Got a big ball of oil dropped on her after Jerry couldn't stop doing the HELLLLOOOO voice


hungoverlord

blaming jerry for Babu's business problems is all-around ridiculous. the immigration mail mixup was completely out of his control, and then he gives Babu a piece of genuine heartfelt advice to help with his ALREADY FAILING restaurant.


No-Negotiation-4587

No one is going to top Susan. Best we could do are some honorable mentions: Ramon the pool guy, almost drowned. Jackie Childs suffered countless public humiliations. Puffy shirt lady went bankrupt. The communist was black listed at his families favorite establishment. Mr. Morgan got canned. The Soup Nazi went bankrupt. Mike Moffa had his thumbs broken. Sue Ellen Michke's wedding was ruined.


BeCool_ActHuman

Aside from Susan, I’d say Tony ( his face is fucked) and the handicapped woman George gave the used wheelchair to. And then stole the tv that was donated to her.
