Elaine's worst and best boyfriends

 








    I've talked about Jerry's different girlfriends on the show Seinfeld and thought he isn't the only one that has relationship problems. Almost every character in Seinfeld has a date or two. This time...I'm going to talk about Elaine's boyfriends.









   Jerry Seinfeld- Elaine was based on an off-again/on-again relationship Jerry had. He decided, after breaking up, for him and Elaine to remain friends. They've had a few flings and even tried to hook up again by using rules. It didn't work, and they just remained friends. Like I've told before, Jerry had issues with other girls, and this time.... let's look at other men Elaine slept with.









    Phil Totola- A guy that Seinfeld knew, and Elaine started dating. However, he took it out. What do I mean by that? Well, the only date she had with him was with him releasing the snake trouser. Elaine wasn't satisfied and decided to end the relationship there. In Jerry's words, "you showed her who you were."








 Dick- Another one of Elaine's boyfriends who thinks Jerry is nothing but a loser. He also is a recovering alcoholic or was until Jerry forgot to hold Elaine's drink filled with cranberry juice and vodka. He ends up falling off the wagon and heckling Jerry at one of his stand ups. I don't think Elaine stayed with him after that. They gave him a cashmere sweater, only...it had a red dot on it.








 Ned Isakoff- One word, communist. That's what Elaine's boyfriend was, and the relationship didn't last. Not because he was a communist, but because he was blacklisted at his favorite Chinese restaurant, and it didn't make him happy. Also, he would give Krammer a book after explaining to him that anyone working as Santa in a department store was a sap. Krammer got fired afterwards.










 Joel Rifkin- This show, back in the 90's, had some risqué things happening. One of them is having one of Elaine's boyfriends have the same name as serial killer, Joel Rifkin. After finding out about it, and how embarrassed he was to have that name, he and Elaine decided to pick different names. (One being OJ, before his life was changed forever) It didn't work out for either of them.











  Todd Gack- A boyfriend Elaine meets who Jerry believes the only reason he got the Star Wars trivia question wrong is to get a date with Elaine. Elianie doesn't believe it until she meets his parents. Todd Gack is also responsible for giving horrible Cuban Cigars to Jerry and his friends. He eventually gets the money back for it in pennies. He even ends ups dating Jerry's girlfriend by the end of the episode.










  Alan- Known as the bad breaker-upper, Elaine goes on one date with Alan after he couldn't meet her before after dealing with other ex-girlfriends trying to kill him. He calls her 'big head' thinking Elaine's feelings would get hurt. It didn't bother her at first, but then it started getting to her. Eventually, they meet up and apologize. However, it doesn't last as he says something about Elaine's nose and gets a fork in the forehead.











   Simon- A British boyfriend that Elaine meets and brings back from her trip to Europe. It starts getting sour as Simon is considered a boyfriend Elaine starts to hate. He 'borrows' money from Elaine and Jerry, says that it is proper to say 'Pardon' instead of 'what', and decides to take Banya's suit after Jerry doesn't want it. Banya eventually gets it back after fighting with Simon for the suit. I don't think Elaine started to see him after that.










   Darryl- Another boyfriend Elaine had problems with. Why? Jerry thinks Darryl is black. Elaine starts wondering if it's true. She tries to get hints from him by purchasing a gift for Darryl. Eventually she gave up and Darryl revealed that Elaine might be Hispanic. Eventually, they figured out they're two regular white people. 











  Jack- Already dating at the time, Elaine meets another guy named Jack. She thought his face was gorgeous, but Jerry believes there was something off about him. Eventually, the dark truth is revealed about Jack's job. He plays a character in a tv commercial called, The Wiz where nobody beats him. When he tells Elaine that he's going back at the pitchman, she dumps him. The actor that portrays Jack has been doing voice acting since.











Keith Hernandez- No joke here. Eliane dated Keith Hernandez when was still with the Mets. Jerry starts to take a liking to him, and they go out for a while. Keith and Elaine start to date for a while, and he talks about the game that won them the world series back in the 90's. However, it wasn't going to last for either as Elaine broke up with Keith for smoking (which he no longer does) and Jerry thinks it's too much to move furniture. Jerry and Keith have been seen in public settings after Keith retired from the Mets.











 Tony- A pretty goy compared to Eliane, and George has a man-crush on him. All Elaine sees is perfect face as Tony likes to do daredevil things like rock climbing or jumping off a second story of a movie theater. However, when Kramer joins Tony and George on the rock climbing, his face is mangled, and Elaine is baffled. He tells George to 'step off' which in his lingo means never see again. I think Elaine did that too.











 Fred- a religious person that decides to end it with Elaine over a photo that shows her nipple. The reason why is because Elaine wanted to take a Christmas card picture after seeing Jerry's Girlfriend taking one. She realizes the mistake she made, but when Fred sees it, he believes it is best to end it as Eliane shouts out that she has seen the nipple on his soul.









Tim Whatley- One of Bryan Cranson's early roles was playing a dentist named Tim Whatley who goes out on a few dates with Elaine, makes Jewish Jokes and even have penthouse magazines in his waiting room. Whatley has a relationship with Elaine a few times after getting a Superbowl ticket and ends up falling for her. He didn't last long, but he was a very memorable character. Bryan Craston is doing an amazing job with his career so far, even if he's nearing retirement.




    David Puddy- One of Elaine's on again/ off again boyfriends that usually seen in almost every episode in the later seasons of Seinfeld. Starting around season 6, he was considered a car mechanic, maybe one of the most honest ones. He and Elaine start going out. He does 'the move' and eventually is seen in other episodes, either having his face painted or having strong faith in the lord. He eventually leaves Elaine in the last episode as he decides not to wait for Elaine.






Like Jerry, Elianie had a lot of boyfriends. Some I couldn't even mention. He even had a close talker portrayed by Judge Reinhold, one that ends up having a stroke, one that was a "bizarro Jerry", one that Elaine claims to be a doctor when he isn't, one that is or isn't spongeworty. There were a lot. Almost fifty, and these are the few that were the most memorable.
