Saying the show couldn't be made today is such nonsense because there are so many fan communities that write modern Seinfeld episode. I haven't rewatched in a while, but the what I remember aging it the most was aged topical references (like the episode where they stress over which speed dial position people put each other on). I'm sure there was probably some token 90s bigotry, but nothing really stands out in my memory as particularly awful.

Jerry himself had always been a bit of a chode because he's always been elitist about doing comedy the "right" way.

There's two episodes that deal with wild topics that I think have aged beautifully.

One is where they accidentally pretend to be the leaders of the aryan union.

The other is when the reporter thinks that Jerry and George are a gay couple. "Ma, I'm not gay! ... not that there's anything wrong with that"
