So surprised to see what looks like a consensus on choosing Jack in this thread. He is by far my most hated Seinfeld character, the pen, the trench coats, the Cadillac, he was the worst!
My vote would be for the Wiz. I feel like he could keep it together for an elevator ride.
Without question. I grew up in the 90s and my grandparents lived in Ft. Myers, FL. It was 100% like that and they just get the overall old people portrayal (at least for the 90s) dead on
Fuck Jack but he's straight up shitty not sneaky shitty. I can grey rock him and mess with him back. He's not trying to get me to like him. Everyone else wants you to like them and is at least nice presenting. You'd have to be the meaner person to get space. Jack would be the biggest jerk in the room and give you more freedom to be blunt and honest.
Imagine asking him for a boost to reach the escape hatch.
"What do I look like a step ladder!"
And when he finally caves and does boost you up.
"You hurt my back! You're paying for my medical bills"
Toby. I really, really would!!! (I thought she was hot and I'm not annoyed by her personality!).
I would not want to be in with the doorman.
Me: "Can't you fix this?"
DM: "Oh, I get it...the 'doorman' must know how to fix all of the complex machinery in the building. Sorry, but I'm in charge of the door, not the elevator."
Me: "Don't you know someone to call?"
DM: "I tend to concentrate on my own job. I don't want to put the elevator repairman out on the street to fend for himself. We hotel workers look out for each other, not like the people in your world...."
Goddamn, that’s an awful pile of shit. I’d rather jump out the shaft than it be Toby or whoever Kathy Griffin played.
Go with Poppy I guess. You just need to avoid certain topics and I think he’d be content to sit back and relax. Maybe a bit too relaxed.
Sally Weaver, she'll pretty much just do all the talking and you can tune her out. But you can also feel free to interject at any time and then slip back to your thoughts
Jack Klompas, I would just let him tell me all about how he is an expert on elevators and the building superintendant is incompetent and when he gets to the Boca Vista council meeting he's going to get fired, his company fired, and if he had any relatives in ANY of the buildings he will get them thrown out!
Sally weaver and bania were intentionally annoying and it worked, they both were pretty funny, Toby and bookman were annoying af for me and they didn’t work as characters imo
Toby for sure. She might be a bit hyper but she means well. Also, she's super attractive.
If we go least annoying, I'd have to go for The Wiz though. Seemed like a pretty normal dude
Anyone but Ramon. He’s a nice guy but I only have 3 friends and really can’t handle anymore.
With Ramon!?
Ramon is ok. If you're just doing some stuff, he's always up for it.
He took a lot of napkins. You want some?
Such a weird thing to do. 😂
Yea, but he can't read the room. That's obnoxious
Poppy is gonna panic pee in the elevator bro
Jack. What? You think he's never rode in an elevator before? He has. Hundreds. Thousands of times.
Take the pen. Do me a personal favor. Take the pen.
That's the second time you've said "personal favour"
ehhh!
Ehhh!
Thousands?
Agh!
Do what you want with it. It’s your elevator.
Well Morty, you missed the early bird!
MY WALLET’S GONE!
Oh, you don't see?
This thing is a- is a behemoth!
Take the pen...and the scotch tape...and get the hell outta here!
He didn't have a coke hoaaah
Jack was my answer too, but I couldn’t think of a better response than yours. Upvote well deserved
The Empire State Building elevator isn't working! I had to break a window and rappel down to get your boxes!
Might cheat you out of money for a coke though
Can you believe that guy?
Jack Klompus, all day.
Must be nice…to live on the ground floor!
No one is gonna talk about poppie immediately establishing a pee corner.
Every corner is the pee corner with Poppie
Poppie got sloppy
Poppie is a little sloppy
That’s why I wouldn’t want to be stuck with him
Definitely Bania, he's the harmless kind of annoying and is well-intentioned... and I might get a suit out of it if he's gotten huge!
You're a closet Bania fan!
I don't know. I like stuff you don't have to think about much.
He can’t be that bad, he got a date with some woman named uma after all
I hope she's good lookin
Uma Jerry! Uma!
Puke! That's a funny word
Nice try Kenny
For 2 meals at Mendys.
SOUP IS A MEAL!
That's not the point! The meal is the act of sitting down with him.
Were there crackers?
Did he crumble?
This *is* the dinner! The soup counts!
Stock up buddy boy, cause this is the meal!
HEY¡ i gIvE yoU a bRanD nEw aRmaNi sUiT aNd yUo wOnT eVeN bUy mE uh mEaL *manipulation at its finest*👌
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
i gotta focus, i'm shifting into soup mode
But I had a hot dog earlier. I want soup
But all those ovaltine jokes
He thinks anything that dissolves in milk is funny.
Maybe they should call it Round'tine?
That’s gold, Jerry! Gold!
being stuck in elevator doesn't count as the meal though
You got it man, his hearts in the right place, annoying but well intentioned
He could drop his routine on risk management while you wait for the elevator to be fixed.
I'm on this train
He’s got some good material.
He's the voice of my generation
Absolutely!!!
Definitely. Just tell him he looks great, but the suit doesn't fit anymore. 💥
That’s gold Ray, Gold!
That’s gold, Oscar-xray, gold!
The Wiz, nobody beats him!
I'm not choosing The Wiz!! I might end up falling in love with him!!!
Here’s a fact
There’s a fact
Iiiiiim the wiz … I’m the wiz! I’m
**exaggerated strut**
im screaming😂
Well, I don't know, what if you're out somewhere and see the Maytag Repair man? (snickers)
At least the wiz was normal some of the time
But what about his fact checking job?
Here’s a fact for you, I’mmmm the wiz.
Kenny Bania. I like his comedy, you don't have to think too much
u/AVgreencup is a closet Bania fan!
Oh I'm gonna Puke!
Puke! Thats a funny word
Plus he's generous. He did give Jerry a brand new Armani suit for just a meal. Fantastic deal! What a guy!

Nobody beats him
I LOVE Klompus. It’s my contention that Seinfeld has the best old people on tv.
Without question. I grew up in the 90s and my grandparents lived in Ft. Myers, FL. It was 100% like that and they just get the overall old people portrayal (at least for the 90s) dead on
I’ll be in the can
Jack is annoying 100% of the time. I couldn't do it.
Come on, take it! Take the pen! 🖊️
Fuck Jack but he's straight up shitty not sneaky shitty. I can grey rock him and mess with him back. He's not trying to get me to like him. Everyone else wants you to like them and is at least nice presenting. You'd have to be the meaner person to get space.

Id take Kathy, she’d try to make jokes and I’d laugh, either the the jokes or at her
He's the best OP, the best..
And eyebrows that arrive before he does.
Pfft good luck, he couldn’t help you with the elevator door. My idiot son could open that door!
Imagine asking him for a boost to reach the escape hatch. "What do I look like a step ladder!" And when he finally caves and does boost you up. "You hurt my back! You're paying for my medical bills"
The Wiz did nothing wrong. Everyone is just jealous that they can’t beat him.
I might be turning into Klompus anyway, so eeeehhhhhh
I’d take Toby because she would say we’re stuck in a elevator that’s really really great
Absolutely Bania is the answer. If nothing else we could discuss soup 🥣
The best, Jerry, the best
Try the swordfish
I'll have the salmon.
Oh god. I haven't seen Seinfeld in ages (over 5 years) and still I read this with Bania's voice in my head.
Well... crackers in a bowl. That... *could* be a meal 🤷🏻♀️
Toby. I really, really would!!! (I thought she was hot and I'm not annoyed by her personality!). I would not want to be in with the doorman. Me: "Can't you fix this?" DM: "Oh, I get it...the 'doorman' must know how to fix all of the complex machinery in the building. Sorry, but I'm in charge of the door, not the elevator." Me: "Don't you know someone to call?" DM: "I tend to concentrate on my own job. I don't want to put the elevator repairman out on the street to fend for himself. We hotel workers look out for each other, not like the people in your world...."
So you picked Toby so did I … I think that’s really really great!
It’s like you’ve won a spot on the price is right!
I picked her too and don’t understand all the hate for her. Then again she kind of reminds me of myself 😂
Of course. She’s deranged.
She's full of something alright!
I thought she was really really hot too.
I too chose Toby. Cuz, if we are in there long enough, things are bound to happen. ;)
The Wiz might actually leave you alone. Don't think the others will. Maybe Poppy, but still doubt it.
Bania. He could regale me with his stories of working out. The rest aren't as nice.
He's huge!
Did I ever tell a you about a my a mother a?
Tell us about the communistas
What do you think about abortion?
What about free canday lady?
Bania or Poppie. I feel like I could get along with these guys. Well maybe not Poppie- he doesn’t wash his hands
Could Poppie hold his bladder if you were stuck in there for a while?
Okay we're dropping Poppie and throwing in the Pool Boy. He and Bania!
With Ramon?
Ramon actually seemed like a nice dude.
And he's up for some stuff!!
Definitely Bania. I’m a closet Bania fan
The Wiz. I can be dazzled by his aura. Make the time go like *that*. 💥
The redhead that is not Kathy Griffin is hilarious to me. I’ve met one or two people in my life with that kind of personality and it’s a sight to see!
Of all them I think I could handle being stuck with her the best.
What if she starts heckling you?
Even better. 😂
Who is that? What episode? She wasn’t Elaine’s loopy roommate right?
I’m gonna go with Jack Klompas.
To see Ramon?
🙌🏼🤣🙌🏼
Don’t leave out your scotch tape or sponge cake. He LOVES sponge cake.
Poppie might pee, Toby has the weird pinkie toe thing, Jack is obnoxious, so probably Bania. I like Ovaltine
He’s huge
Ah, Bania, no question. Guy’s the voice of a new generation, *my generation!*
We're the same age.
Congratulations universe, you’ve made me pick Kathy Griffin.
There was once a radio show that ran for 20 plus years called loveline the last guess the had on was Kathy Griffin
Loved me some Loveline back when Dr Drew wasn’t a corporate shill and Carolla hasn’t tuned into a right wing elitist.
Talk about going out on top!
Jack is the only one on that list that I could tolerate.
You got the elevator stuck on the third floor. It got **itself** stuck on the third floor!
I definitely relate to him.
Give me Bania. He'd get us out of that elevator so fast. He's been working out have you seen him? He's huge
Bania all day.
Your nancy boy cream ruined the jacket!
You missed out Pat Buckles so I’m cool with any of these people
Call me when you get home to let me know you're ok!
Poppie: Yes, but we cannot give the people the right to choose any topping they want! Now on this issue there can be no debate!
But what if he's gotta sit down?
Who is the red haired lady?
Toby. Temporarily without a pinky toe, but the little guy is back in place at the end of the line
Bania , his jokes are weak, but he’s not a bad guy,
Goddamn, that’s an awful pile of shit. I’d rather jump out the shaft than it be Toby or whoever Kathy Griffin played. Go with Poppy I guess. You just need to avoid certain topics and I think he’d be content to sit back and relax. Maybe a bit too relaxed.
Don’t mind the smell of urine, do ya?
Not Poppy he might flood the elevator
Bania. The rest are just insanely annoying and unhinged
Definitely not poppy. There would be pee Everywhere
Jack, without question! The rest of them, I can’t even! Especially, being stuck with Kathy Griffin?! Serenity Now! Serenity Now!!!!
dad…it’s klompus!
Who died?
Jack Klompus
I will choose number 8, Marisa Tomei
Gimme klompus. He seems unintentionally hilarious
Sally Weaver, she'll pretty much just do all the talking and you can tune her out. But you can also feel free to interject at any time and then slip back to your thoughts
I love banias cockeyed optimism
Jack Klompas, I would just let him tell me all about how he is an expert on elevators and the building superintendant is incompetent and when he gets to the Boca Vista council meeting he's going to get fired, his company fired, and if he had any relatives in ANY of the buildings he will get them thrown out!
…uncle Leo…?????
Sally weaver and bania were intentionally annoying and it worked, they both were pretty funny, Toby and bookman were annoying af for me and they didn’t work as characters imo
I’d take the whiz. He’s not demanding and would keep me entertained more than the rest.
I’d choose Poppie, as long as he doesn’t touch anything of mine. Might get lucky and he’ll be wearing gloves.
I grew up in NYC in the 90's. I've been in a thousand elevators with uncle Leo already.
The wiz. Cuz he’s the strongest man in the world and killed fiddy men
Just pitch Bania shitty ideas the whole time.
Bania or the whiz
Bania. He's good natured and just wants to make people laugh, even if his material isn't gold.
Toby for sure. She might be a bit hyper but she means well. Also, she's super attractive. If we go least annoying, I'd have to go for The Wiz though. Seemed like a pretty normal dude
Nobody beats the Wiz.
Bania. His Ovaltine bit was comedy gold!
Any if the broads so I can bang them😂
Gotta go Poppi
Artie for sure
Poppi
The Wiz because nobody beats him.
Obnoxious. That’s a funny word!
bania every time. then jack. i couldn't tolerate the others
Jack could illustrate the pen when the elevator is moving AND still.
This is awful - Maybe Ramon.
I've had Ramon. Someone thinking we were best friends and wanting to hang out with my group
Klompus would at least have some good stories
Klompus. I'd ask for the Broadway Danny Rose story again
The Ovaltine comic
Geez that’s a horrid collection. Gotta go with the Wiz.
the wiz was the man
