Men want the same thing from their underwear that they want from women: a little bit of support, and a little bit of freedom.

Framed as a typical Seinfeld observational joke, the line draws a comic parallel between two very different domains—underwear and romantic relationships—by reducing both to a shared set of desires. “Support” suggests comfort, reliability, and reassurance; “freedom” suggests room to move, autonomy, and the absence of constraint. The humor comes from the unexpected comparison and the mild provocation of treating women as an analogue to a garment, while also capturing a recognizable tension in intimacy: wanting care without feeling controlled. As with much stand-up, the quip works by exaggerating a common feeling into a neat, memorable formula.
