His show was a cultural phenomenon. You’ve never heard of the least funny comedian. Let’s stop the weird Lemmy contrarianism. It makes us look more insanely out of touch than Jerry Seinfeld. (Which is so well known his name is in my auto-correct).
I absolutely loved Seinfeld (the show) and recently saw his stand up in person and it was absolutely terrible, it was actually pretty shocking. He’s just so incredibly unrelatable now.
I wouldn’t say that’s contrarianism. I’ve heard criticism for Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy since at least 2004, calling out observation comics as a whole was trending at the time of his show even. Larry David made that show great, and some of the cast played their roles really well, Jerry Seinfeld wasn’t one of them for me and seemingly a lot of people.

all of that can be considered contrarianism too. It was easy to shit on observational humor because Seinfeld was the most popular comedy at the time.

the character Jerry was the straight man, so if you only watched the show Jerry (the actor/comedian) had an uphill battle to seem as funny as Kramer, George, Elaine, etc.
Jerry seinfeld is one of the least funniest people who ever called themselves a comic.

He was never funny. Larry David, the guy who wrote the show, was the funny one.
FYI, it was written by both Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld
It wasn’t funny. I never watched the show. I’m not alone in that either.
Nah Jerry was never very funny. It turns out it was all Larry David
I think he had one or two good lines in the show. but the other three carried that shit like their lives depended on it.
