Maybe I missed an episode somewhere along the line, but was it ever explained why Jerry and Newman hate each other so much?

I could of swore at least some of the enmity was because Newman is infatuated with Elaine, and he is aware Seinfeld has previously dated her.

Maybe on Newman's end, but for the most part I think Jerry just sees Newman as pure evil.

As far as I know it's just a simple case of Newman being a fat jackass, and Jerry calling him out on it.

It's pretty obvious. Newman's a Lex Luthor fan.

I think part of it has to do with Newman being a slob and Jerry being compulsively clean. Newman antagonizes Jerry whenever possible over this.

No, you missed no episode as their was no explanation in show. Though at times they are friendly some times so I don't think they hate each other but rather just find the other annoying often but harmless.

Newman is his nemesis, it's as simple as that. All of the contrasts, slob/neat freak, fat/thin, Superman/Lex Luthor, all of that is because he's Jerry's nemesis.

They can't be that far apart.

It's because Jerry knows Newman shut the Jurassic Park fence off in the rain.

Jerry was the one responsible for proving Newman's favorite non-fat frozen yogurt was in fact, not non-fat, forcing the discontinuation of sales of said non non-fat frozen yogurt.

The cook and I at my one job always reenacted the "Hello Jerry" "Hello Newman" bit up until she got pissed off at me for some shit and even though you'd think that would lead to us doing it more, we barely talked after that.

Though at times they are friendly some times so I don't think they hate each other but rather just find the other annoying often but harmless. That mention of them being friendly at times reminded me of one of my all-time favorite exchanges on the show, when Jerry offered to help Newman deliver the mail to get him to Hawaii: "An alliance?" "An alliance." (Jerry and Newman shake hands and share a slightly maniacal laugh) "Now get the hell out of here." "Right."
