Jerry Seinfeld became a hot Twitter topic on Sunday night when people reacted to his strange way of clapping while cheering on his team at the Cubs-Mets game.
One Twitter user even compared Jerry Seinfeld’s clapping to character Elaine Benes (played by actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus) during an episode of Seinfeld.

Another Twitter post compared Jerry Seinfeld’s strange clapping to other odd characters who were the subjects of other Seinfeld episodes.
Jerry Seinfeld's weird clapping seems like a character from the show. Like the close talker, man hands, the high voice, the whisperer, etc

This next post shared no comparisons to Seinfeld episodes, but simply dissed Jerry Seinfeld in a most blatant way.
Jerry Seinfeld sorta claps like a psycho

And then this guy summed up his feelings about the game while mentioning Jerry Seinfeld’s rather peculiar behavior.
Between that horrible Colts play and Jerry Seinfeld's clapping, today was a special day in sports.

He then decided to go straight to the source of some of the most offensive clapping you might ever experience.
Hey @JerrySeinfeld, where did you learn to clap?

Did you get to witness firsthand what Jerry Seinfeld sadly believes is the act of cheering for his team? Wouldn’t it have made a great Seinfeld episode?
