10 Best Minor Seinfeld Characters

10. Leslie (The Quiet Talker)

The episode 'The Puffy Shirt' has gone down in Seinfeld history as one of the best episodes the show ever made. The situation is thus, Kramer is dating a woman who talks so quietly that neither Jerry nor Elaine can hear her speak. Then, when they are all having dinner together, Jerry just agrees to something that she says that he can't hear, the next thing he knows he has been roped into wearing a weird pirate-themed puffy shirt on TV.

The reason why Leslie is so funny is that when she becomes enraged at Jerry for mocking the shirt on TV, she swears at him so loudly even those in the back row of the audience can hear it.

From then on in she is shouting and we can all hear her perfectly, and just to add one last brilliant moment onto her single appearance, she pushes George when he too mocks the shirt and he grabs a hot iron as he falls. Ruining his newly-found hand modelling career.

When the episode becomes legendary so do the people who made it so, and Leslie was definitely one of the finest one-off characters the show ever had.
