Seinfeld Storylines That Fans Can't Stand

George Costanza is the mastermind behind plenty of zany schemes, but some of these storylines are more successful than others. For example, in the Season 1 episode "The Stock Tip," he claims that an acquaintance encouraged him to buy a particular stock and suggests Jerry do the same. Both men invest $2500 in the stock, but their investment quickly backfires when they realize they know nothing about the stock market. George's acquaintance ends up in the hospital, rendering him unable to tell them when to sell their stock. Unsurprisingly, the stock price falls, and George and Jerry lose money on their reckless investment. 

Money-making schemes are nothing new for the "Seinfeld" crew, but this storyline is just plain dull. The friends usually come up with far more inventive plans, which feature more twists and turns on their way to inevitable failure. Instead, this brief, ill-fated journey into stock trading quickly becomes repetitive. In a Reddit thread about the worst episodes in the series, "The Stock Tip" is at the top of several users' lists. Most notably, the original poster finds the episode too irritating to even discuss in depth. Thankfully, storylines involving get-rich-quick plans get stronger and more engaging as the series progresses.
