Seinfeld (1989)

Seinfeld features LGBTQ+ themes primarily through comedic misunderstandings and social awkwardness, such as characters being mistaken for gay or dating a lesbian. The show's humor often derives from the main characters' reactions to these situations, rather than directly mocking queer identity. The net portrayal is incidental, avoiding strong positive or negative arcs.

Seinfeld portrays Jewish culture and traditions with significant depth and nuance, often using them as a backdrop for character-driven comedy. While the show satirizes the characters' often neurotic or superficial engagement with their heritage, the humor stems from universal human foibles rather than a critique of the faith itself. The narrative treats Jewish identity as an integral, often affectionate, part of the characters' world, without presenting the religion as inherently problematic.
