Absurdity among Aristocracy

I was intrigued by the subtitle of this play as I went back to read it. It is titled The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People. After reading the first act, that makes a lot of sense. These characters are arguing about cucumber sandwiches (lines 56-58, 81-91, 294-305) among other things, which along with the title reminds me of Seinfeld, since it's notorious for being a "show about nothing." I was also amused by the scene in which Lady Bracknell interrogates Jack about his life and whether or not he is worthy of her daughter. She asks him the most absurd questions, that makes both her and him sound like airheads (lines 453-577).
