I'm with Molly on this on - it's Morty Seinfeld for me. And Jerry's mother Helen, played by Liz Sheridan (who I just learned from imdb was a quarter Ashkenazi!), was the best Jewish mother with the best Jewish mother line ("How could anyone not like you?"), which she said incredulously to Jerry on more than one occasion.
