It has been 30 years since Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David’s groundbreaking sitcom Seinfeld first hit the airwaves, and the show is still as timeless and relevant as ever. This is mostly due to the central ensemble of Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer—one of the greatest casts in television history—but they also had solid support from a wide range of minor characters. Of course, as with any show, some of those supporting characters were stronger than others, and, naturally, there were also some weak ones to contrast against the strong ones. So, here is every Seinfeld supporting character, ranked.
11. SUSAN ROSS
Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer’s romantic partners came and went on an almost weekly basis, so many of them didn’t need to stand out with a quirk or comical personality, but it’s a different story with long-term relationships. What makes most of the long-term couples on Seinfeld work is that there’s a different kind of crazy on both sides—there’s no straight man. With couples like Frank and Estelle or Elaine and Puddy, there is no straight person, but they still clash because they’re crazy in different ways. The problem with Susan is that she was never really funny. The writers never gave her jokes; she was just the straight person to George’s antics.

Happy Festivus!
Loved George’s parents whenever they were in an episode. They were the absolute best supporting characters.
Everyday life lessons from Seinfeld.
Most hilarious collection of assholes ever assembled.
No no no... It’s always sunny. They assembled the WORST human beings.
And now a bit o' trivia: Len Lesser (Uncle Leo) was one of the bounty hunters in the movie 'The Outlaw Josey Wales'.
Oh, and one more thing. Lesser enlisted in the United States Army the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Ridiculous, Kramer doesn’t make the list?? No soup NAZI or the library cop.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
“LOL, Frank Costanza was rated #1!”
“The Manssiere” epi with Frank and Kramer was for the ages.
Kramer is a main character, not supporting.
They’re real and they’re spectacular.
“Poppy peed!”
Move reeeeal slow. So's I can count the hairs on that hand.. d;^)
“Ridiculous, Kramer doesn’t make the list?? No soup NAZI or the library cop”
Kramer was a regular cast member. This article is about reoccurring side kicks. The Soup Nazi was not a reoccurring character. He was in all of six minutes of episode 116 and a cameo in the series finale.
I like Bookman. Unfortunately he wasn’t reoccurring.
