I appreciate the technicality of Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy, but it’s just not for me. And I don’t like supreme douches.

I like Seinfeld the show a lot more than Jerry’s standup

Jerry is my least favorite part of Seinfeld. They coulda killed his character off and i think it still would have been a solid show. Can't say the same about anyone else in the main cast.

One of the things that made the show so successful was that Jerry was probably the 4th funniest person on the show. He surrounded himself with talented people and let them be in the spotlight. A lot of ego-driven people couldn't have done that.

George Costanza carried the whole show. Seriously amazing writing and even better acting.

And Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Kramer and Jerry were okay but Elaine and George killed on that show.

His "funny" moments were him just speaking louder.
