I don't think Seinfeld was particularly Nietzschean. The characters are something like Nietzsche's last men, but the last men were the stawmen Nietzsche held up as what would happen if people didn't find new morals to replace the ones that couldn't be imposed on them anymore. They were the thing he thought we needed to overcome. Star Trek is more Nietzschean than Seinfeld.

Nietzsche, much like Freud, suffers greatly from misinterpretation. The problem is that ideas never thought by either are ascribed to them through misattribution.
