First, we've gotta set the record straight ... Seinfeld was offensive in every way, shape or form. It doesn't change the fact that it was indeed hilarious. But, these days, as society has become a little more sensitive and understanding to so many broad subjects ... sometimes the show went a little overboard, i🧔f you will. We can most definitely sa🌠y that now.

But back then, that's how trends were set, and in every business. The wrestling business was over the top both in intensity and content ... movies were extremely pushy and advanced for their time. And yes, that definitely goes for today, although when you're the first to do something, you often get reminded of it for the rest of your career ... and if you were as big as Jerry and the troupe were, then you'll hear about it forever. The show was no doubt iconic and many classic episodes comprise its 8 season 🌃legacy; of course not without a litt🍨le controversy thrown in. And as a side note, this year marks 20 years that its off the air. OMG, indeed.

Here are 20 things you may have forgotten or missed from Seinfeld that are offensive to say t🤪he least ... even though we laughed our butts off back then.

20 A Loogie Of Magical Proportions ജ

So, Newman and Kramer accuse ex-baseball player Keith Hernandez of spitting on them. In a hilarious re-enactment of a scene from Oliver Stone’s JFK, a film depicting the investigation and trials following the end of Pr⛦esident John F. Kennedy, Jerry tries to prove that this claim of theirs is actually impossible, just as in the film, the possibility that Lee Harvey Oswald was the one and only gunman to have attacked President Kennedy, if he ever did at all.

Firstly, that day in history is so controversial, talking about it and trying to make light of it in a comedy would b🅠e questionable now, so just imagine back in 1992.

Regardless, the scene definitely caused millions to laugh, even at the expense of something so taboo.

A side note … “Newman,”played by Wayne Knight, was actually in Oliver Stone’s JFK and actually took part in a similar scene.

19 Cold Feet

To say that George didn’t want to marry his fiancée Susan would indeed be an understatement. Anyone who followed that storyline’s progress can tell you the samꦺe༺ … but yeah, he most certainly regretted his decision to tie the knot.

So, it came as no surprise that when she passed away at the hands of ingesting way too much glue after sealing all of their wedding invitations, he was … a lit🌞tle more than happy that it was all over and he was single again.

We wonder how this seems to today’s society, but yeah, ever-loving George Costanza was actually happy that his fiancé had expired so suddenly.

Really? When we think about it now, it seems so … awful and it most definit𒈔ely has offended quite a few viewers both back then and nowadays, we’re sure.

18 💫 Babu's Dr🔥eam Cafe

The café is most definitely an episode that has stood the test of time, both in ingenuity and offensiveness. The character of Jerry becomes obsessed with this new café, only it isn’t doing very well … so unwittingly, Jerry suggests to the💎 owner—the now infamous Babu Bhatt—to turn it into a Pakistani-themed restaurant.

On the surface, it seems perfectly normal, but that’s until the Pakistani idea turns into a major flop as well.

Then the character of Babu gets angry at Jerry’s suggestion, saying that the cost needed to change up the restaurant aꦿnd the fact that no clients entered the establishment since all falls on Jerry … only the character goes into extreme stereotypical Pakistani mode, using all the mannerisms and accents that fওall into an almost make-believe fashion—exaggerated even. And that is what makes this instant in the episode ultimately offensive.

17 Gross!

Jerry’s girlfriend Audrey had refused to eat a piece of his pie on an earlier date … which obviously bugs Jerry to no end. So when she brings him to her father Poppie’s restaurant, Jerry refuses to eat a slice of pizza, causing Audrey to feel as though he’s just trying to get her back. Of course this was not the case. Jerry had excused himself t🎐o go to the bathroom, and in the bathroom, he witnessed Poppie, leave the restroom without washing his hands.

Poppie then said that he was “gonna cook something special just for you …” to Jerry’s absolute horror.

Well,ꦦ thꦯe episode called on many to criticize the character made to look like an Italian immigrant, eluding to the fact that all Italian immigrants were “dirty.” Hey … you can’t please everybody.

16 An Awkward𝔉 Massage For George

In “The Note” episode of this famous show, the qu🎶irky and zany character of George goes to get a much needed massage. But when he sees that his masseuse is a dude, he gets all kind of uncomfortable and in a hurry. He doesn’t object or cancel the massage, though.

So, there 🧜he is getting the massage, and all of a sudden, as he loses himself to the relaxation and mental oblivion of the whole experience, he feels … well, he suddenly feels a physical instant of awakening. This causes him to panic in a big way, wondering if he is actually ga🅘y, not that there’s anything wrong with that, as the characters would often say.

But, as iജt was the 90s and all and society hadn’t taken that giant leap forward that it thankfully has i🎃n terms of some relationships, the awkwardness that the characters show when it comes to the topic is very telling of that generation.

15 It Was Hard To Look 🌞Anywhere Else 𝔉

They’d covered so many topics, was it any wonder that they’d tackle a woman’s ♏self-image (which is always a dangerous subject), as they would tackle this area one too ဣmany times?

George begins datin🏅g Audrey, who is absolutely 💞gorgeous except for this glaring imperfection in the shape of her nose.

Of course knowing George, as we think you do, do you think it was at all easy for him to wrap his mind around her nose?

You got it. So, for some reason, the girl asks the advice of Kramer, of all people—seems he’s the last person a▨nybody shoulౠd take advice from, but hey, don’t take it from us. He tells her straight-out that she’s gorgeous, but just needs a nose job. How blunt, eh?

14 Were They ... Real?🍌! 𝓰

Ok … we need to get this off our chest im꧒mediately: Terri Hatcher is remarkably gorgeous, and at any age. She oozes attractiveness in an🌸y capacity. Now you wouldn’t think that she could ever be involved in any awkward and embarrassing moments on screen now, would you?

Well, at the hands of the Seinfeld crew, trust no one and nothing. In the episode in question, she plays Sidra, an attractive and busty girl, Jerry met at the gym. Now, for whatever reason, Jerrဣy gets obsessed with the quest❀ion at whether Sidra’s breasts are real or not, and he actually sends Elaine into the sauna to find out.

And yes, for those of you that are unfamiliar with the show, you did indeed just read that. A far cry f𓃲rom the innocent antics of older sitcoms now isn’t it?

13 The Spot

Remember, we loved this show, as so ♛many audiences did. They definitely went far at times making us wonder “Should I be laughing at this?”

Moments like this are in the episode “The Handicap Spot.” Trust me, it gets as offensive as it sounds, and leaves the viewඣer wondering often throughout the 22 minute instalment.

Is anything at all sacred in this show?

Well, the gang park in a handicꦅap spot, causing a handicap woman to be unable to park there, resulting in her losing battery in her wheelchair, causing her to roll down a hill without control. An angry mob wait for the person responsible, and as part of the crowd, our four heroes deci𝐆de to wait it out, and not take any responsibility. As you can see from the photo above, the car gets wrecked instead.

12 🎃 What Can We Even Say About This One? 🐈

We have no words … and fo🀅r us over here at TheGamer, that’s pretty rare indeed. But this episode entitled “The Shoes,” the controversial content speaks volumes for itself … abundantly.

George and Jerry are meeting with an NBC executive to finalize a deal on their show. Everything’s fine until the NBC executive’s 15 year old daughter walks in, causing George to stare at a particular portion of the girl’♐꧋s upper body.

The executive actually catches George in the not so subtle act and sends them out on their behinds.

What can we say, other than this ep♛isode most certainly takes the cake in terms of controversy and offensiveness and leaves us speechless as we watch the embarrassing m𒀰oments occur before our very eyes.

11 ⛦ Cigar Store "Artifact"

“The Cigar Store Indian” episode of this iconic show ranks all over the “way overboard” Richter scale for offensive jokes. Come to think of it, creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld and their te🐻am of writers didn’t seem toꦗo concerned with being politically correct.

It seemed, week after week, they always seemed to outdo even themselves, making jokes more and more risqué.

Well, they accomplished just that in this episode where the characters tackle the offensive behavior of many of the Seinfeld characters in this one falling to jokes about Native Americans, rendering clichés and prejudice stereotypes into the script. At least they had a N🏅ative American character in that episode to show a defensive stance, oth💛erwise things could have gotten really ugly, we’d imagine.
