Love his TV show but unfortunately he's a dick IRL.

His character is kinda a dick in the show too.
-
The ending of the show kinda makes me think they were the original IASIP gang. Every other character outside of the main group thought they were assholes, and they literally went to jail for it.
-
Sunny was originally marketed as "Seinfeld on crack."
-
"haha, we knew we assholes along!"
It was also universally hated by fans. IASIP made sure there was no confusion about the characters morality.
-
That's not why it was hated, it was hated because it was a bad and abrupt ending that didn't go with the rest of the show.
I don't think anyone was under any illusions that the Seinfeld characters were supposed to be anything other than horrible people.
-
There were definitely people who modeled their behavior or at least excused their actions based on Seinfeld. My aunt for instance.
There's a long, long history of idiots missing the point of various pieces of fiction. The Prince, Fight Club and the original MS Gundam come to mind. Yoshikazu Yasuhiko even felt the need create Gundam: The Origin because too many kids thought Gundam's message was "War is cool".

Of course they were annoying assholes, that's why we watched it. They're New Yorkers ffs.

He wasn't why the show was funny

Any show named after the main character can run perfectly well without it.
Dawsons creek Seinfeld Will and grace Etc.

Friends would have been okay with Janice and Gunter. Community only needs the Dean. The big bang theory would have been better with just a black screen.
-
I think you mean The big bang theory would have been better without the big bang (although pre season 4 isn't too bad).
-
Community only needs the Dean.
I mean, technically, yes. It would work but it wouldn't be Community. Abed is the cornerstone though if set alone wouldn't work out, you also need sidekick Troy as an audience surrogate so we can all ride along. Troy&Abed on a space station would still be Community with different support characters.

Community to return as a Red Dwarf reboot?

Ever since be took Leno‘s side in the Tonight Show feud between Leno and Conan, he became non redeemable to me.
-
That's like the least bad thing he's done.

Nothing is obligating you to respond this way other than some amount of respect you have for this bigot. DONT sugar coat your ability to look the other way in the face of bigotry.
