I don't think he was ever funny. Larry David may have been funny, and Seinfeld was fortunate enough to be involved with the show, but Jerry himself has always been a poor comedian and a tool.

"The show was great, hilarious even, until Jerry opened his mouth and said something." - Me imitating Seinfeld

But seriously. I loved a few of the kooky characters, and would always stop channel surfing on a Kramer scene. But Jerry would always say something dumb and I'd move on.

Ah yes, RIP Cosmo Kramer Michael Richards' career & reputation ever since his incident with the heckler

Well deserved.

It was the supporting cast that even gave that movie a chance at being funny. Mathew Broderick, Rip Torn and Patrick Warburton did a lot of heavy lifting.

Honestly, there are a few memorable episodes but most of it was pretty lame IMO.

The only reason I watched Seinfeld is it was what was on

The episode where George and Jerry pretend to be the names printed on a limo driver's placard in order to get a free ride from the airport and end up getting driven to a white supremacist rally was the peak of the show, but after watching Curb Your Enthusiasm it's pretty obvious whose sense of humor produced that one.

The show was hilarious.

It's just that Seinfeld was the least funny cast member in literally every episode.

Absolutely. He always came off as an arrogant prick and none of his shit was funny to me. But I might have missed many a point because I'm not from the USA.

I never liked the show because of him specifically. It's my understanding that they're all supposed to be bad people, but this is the same case with Always Sunny and I find the gang to be very likable. I didn't at first, but they grew on me once I realized they were supposed to be degenerates and sociopaths. But with Seinfeld I have never been able to get over the hump.

He was the least funny and interesting character in “Seinfeld”, too. Even most side characters like George’s parents added more than him.

Seinfeld was hilarious back in his day.
