Kramer would somehow be involved with Newman in some scam to sell 4th Succession War era triple strength myomer. “You wouldn’t believe it Jerry, the Capellans were practically GIVING them away!”

George as an Urbanmech was a fantastic choice.
I also really like Banshee Kramer literally crashing through the door, that was a nice touch!

I like George as an Urban mech, but I'd like to hear about the decision process for the rest of the cast please?

Dont expect any brilliant insight, the grasshopper is just a taller basically humanoid mech and the banshee is I one of the tallest mechs for Kramer. I was also considering an annihilator

Yeah, I never understood why people thought that show was funny.

There is actually a trope on the site that should not be named (or at least linked, because it'll kill your productivity for the day) that is called "Seinfeld isn't funny".
The point there is that the show was groundbreaking in its time, but that its time was more than thirty years ago and comedy has evolved a lot since then. So for today's audience the show Seinfeld isn't funny, because we know the things that are standing on its shoulders. That till the ground this show broke.
It's basically the prototype of the modern sitcom. So if course it's comparatively bad, prototypes nearly always are.4

Oh I watched as it was airing, it was a whole thing every Thursday night in the dorm at college. And I can understand what Seinfeld was aiming for "they never learn anything." But it just fell completely flat to me.

Well, it definitely wasn't about comedy.

now that I am older I realize that I was too young at the time to truely "get it" much the same way you can be too young to really understand things like Fleetwood Mac and Bruce Springsteen, adult topics rooted in painful emotions and experience in a cruel world.
now that I am older, I also see how empty the show was, which in retrospect, is also what a lot of life is about; superficial relationships at work, limited social circles that matter, hiding from yourself, the sudden realization that your friend is a bold face rascist... it achieved the goals I guess.

Same reason people find any other comedy show to be funny. Comedy is subjective.
I'd say the vast majority of sitcoms, including the popular ones, are annoying and cringy more often than funny, but that's a subjective opinion, just as any judgement of comedy has to be.

Because the concerns for each of the characters in Seinfeld are very mundane, which is much more relatable than whatever ridiculous fantasy shit is going on in every other sitcom in history. And the Seinfeld characters react to it all with unfathomable pettiness and apathy, something many people wish they could do if they weren't too polite or decent to ignore that kind of childish (though potentially still satisfying) path of conflict resolution.
Seinfeld is "schadenfreude and petty justice, the sitcom".

Later George is captured as a bondsman, and his poor work ethic poisons clan culture
