History YMMV / SeinfeldS9E23TheFinale

* UnintentionallySympathetic: The four may have deserved some kind of comeuppance, but the way they were presented in court made them look worse than they really are, and some of these witnesses weren't very sympathetic either (such as the Soup Nazi and the Bubble Boy).

* StrawmanHasAPoint: Jackie Chiles may be an over-the-top caricature of Johnnie Cochran, but he is 100% correct that the trial is a sham and a waste of taxpayers' time and money, as WebOriginal/LegalEagle [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhg3hW3K_KA demonstrates]].

* AccidentalAesop: "Don't be an asshole on the way up to the people whose help you'll need on the way down." While the logic of the trial clearly exists more for entertainment rather than realism, the four main characters' selfishness still earned them a ''lot'' of enemies over the course of the show, to the point that they have more acquaintances who hate them than like them. Even if a lot of those enemies were earned despite the four's best efforts, they still weren't very nice to most people, which isn't a good look for anybody, even in a trial that's not playing by the rules of reality, and might have fared better had they been generally kinder.

* AuthorTract: It's hard not to see the episode as a way its authors can vicariously fantasize about [[RevengeFic cruel people in real life]] receiving DisproportionateRetribution. An understandable desire, to be sure, but not something the show was previously shaped around.

* InformedWrongness: A lot of the characters' actions come off as this during the trial such as "The Sponge". While Elaine buying up the store's supplies was selfish, it was a discontinued item and plenty of people have been known to buy in bulk when they know a product is going off the shelves.

* AccidentalAesop: "Don't be an asshole on the way up to the people who's help you'll need on the way down." While the logic of the trial clearly exists more for entertainment rather than realism, the four main characters' selfishness still earned them a ''lot'' of enemies over the course of the show, and all of them would undoubtably be chomping at the bit for any opportunity to get back at the people who screwed them. Had Jerry and his friends simply been nicer, they could have saved face by having at least ''some'' acquaintances willing to defend them.

* AccidentalAesop: "Don't be an asshole on the way up to the people who's help you'll need on the way down." While the logic of the trial clearly exists more for entertainment rather than realism and almost none of the charges brought up against them are even for things that are illegal, the four main characters still accumulated a ''lot'' of enemies over the course of the show due to their selfishness, so of course they'd want to see them get punished if the opportunity presented itself.

While the logic of the trial clearly exists more for entertainment rather than realism, the four main characters accumulated a ''lot'' of enemies over the course of the show due to their selfishness and wouldn't have looked nearly as bad had they been a little nicer.
