Seinfeld actor Jason Alexander has reacted to his character George being voted the most "immoral" character on the series. Seinfeld, created by stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, first began airing back in 1989 and ran for nine seasons. The series follows Seinfeld as himself, as he and his three friends George (Alexander), Elaine (Julia Louise-Dreyfus) and Kramer (Michael Richards) live in New York and negatively effect the lives of those around them with their selfish behavior. The series won a total of ten Primetime Emmys over its run, and is still gathering new fans today.

While all the characters on Seinfeld make some pretty awful life choices throughout the series, there is perhaps no one more despicable than Alexander's George. In almost every episode, the character can be found to be manipulative and spiteful, and one of his life mottos is "it's not a lie if you believe it." Throughout the series, George can be found trying to poison his boss, scamming the unemployment office, and indirectly killing his fiancée with cheap envelope adhesive. Of course that is not to say that all the other Seinfeld characters are saints, however, George certainly seems the least able to learn from his actions.

In a recent poll, George has been voted the most immoral character on Seinfeld, and Alexander has taken to Twitter to dispute it. Alexander has expressed that the result of the poll "kinda stings," and has also posed the question as to whether George is even more immoral than Newman. Newman is, of course, Jerry's somewhat evil neighbor, and does rank directly behind George on the poll. However, George is still significantly ahead of Newman with 63% of the vote, compared to Newman's 15%. The other cast members did not even break double digits. See Alexander's full tweet below:

Ultimately, despite Alexander's suggestion that Newman is more immoral, the results of the poll make sense. Newman is mostly malicious towards Jerry, and the two have had a longstanding feud since before the series began. George's actions, on the other hand, often effect innocent people who have the misfortune to come in contact with him. This goes particularly for his numerous girlfriends throughout Seinfeld who often find themselves on the receiving end of George's compulsive lying.

While Alexander may be upset with the final results (though he is very likely joking), it seems that most Seinfeld viewers find George's behavior appalling. Those who have seen the whole series will know that, despite the final Seinfeld episode's negative reception, George does finally get what is coming to him. For those who disagree with the poll's findings, perhaps a repeat viewing of Seinfeld is needed. As George himself put it, "I'm disturbed, I'm depressed, I'm inadequate - I've got it all!"
