Another example of our post-satirical reality: The Onion submitted a Supreme Court brief. https://www.npr.org/2022/10/04/1126773469/onion-supreme-court-brief-author-interview

In defense of Seinfeld, they never succeed, which is the point. At least one member of the crew is always worse off. Often times, when one member of the crew is succeeding, the other will intentionally go out of their way to sabotage them (Elaine with George's hair), or they self sabotage (George having coitus thereby making him dumb, and with the ancillary effect of bombing Jerry's set). Even when they win it's due to cheating (Kramer's car backfiring for Jerry's head start).

At the end of the show they all end up in jail for being the horrible people they are, after person after person of character witness attest to how cruel and inhumane they were. In the end they don't even feel remorse.
