One of the most famous minor characters in Seinfeld wouldn’t work today, according to Spike Feresten, who wrote “The Soup Nazi” episode.
One of the most famous minor characters in Seinfeld wouldn't work today, according to one of the show's writers. Though it ended 25 years ago, the so-called show about nothing, Seinfeld, is still very much alive in today's pop culture. That's thanks to memorable episodes and standout performances from a frequently stellar guest cast, even if their screen time was brief. One of those characters, The Soup Nazi , is among the most memorable.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In new comments shared with The Washington Post to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Seinfeld finale, writer Spike Feresten spoke candidly about why one aspect of The Soup Nazi wouldn't work today.
Feresten doesn’t figure he could get away with the Soup Nazi name today. “It was a time in America when there were no real Nazis around. So it didn’t really feel like that bad of a joke,” he said. “But I think about it all the time.” "The Soup Nazi" , Explained "The Soup Nazi" introduces the character of Yev Kassem, although Jerry tells Elaine that Yev is referred to as The Soup Nazi. This is because of how he demands that his customers behave a certain way when placing an order, but his soups are so delicious that most customers try to accept it regardless. Over the course of the episode, Elaine spars with Yev and she's ultimately banned. This leads to a feud between the two.
The Soup Nazi character is actually based on a real-life person who didn't appreciate his portrayal. Ali Yeganeh, an Iranian American soup vendor, ran Soup Kitchen International in New York City. Yeganeh was outspoken about his dislike for the episode and character. In the decades since the Seinfeld episode debuted, "The Soup Nazi" has been parodied and folded into pop culture well beyond its sitcom origins. The character has been used in advertising and referenced in other shows.
