I always see this scene and get so sad for him. That’s a lot of food that he put a lot of work into and was proud of his work. Watching him try to shovel it back into the pot hurts. I know it’s meant to be played off for humor, but I see next to none in that scene.
If you take away the laugh track, it is astoundingly clear that the main cast are all just evil, narcissistic sociopaths, they never do anything that doesn’t benefit themselves, and they have no problem at all ruining other people’s days or even lives, their metric for whether or not something was a good idea or not is entirely whether it worked out well for them…
… ironically with the exception of Kramer, who actually attempts, from time to time, to do good things for other people which will not benefit himself, he just goes about them in often dubious ways.
It’s why many people didn’t like the finale. At the end, they basically shove it in your face and say “Look- You’ve been laughing and empathizing with shitty people. Look at how horrible they are” and folks didn’t like the wakeup call.

Do yourself a favor and never watch Seinfeld.

I hated it for being a clip show.
