Default Re: Anybody think Jerry Seinfeld is overrated?

[ QUOTE ]
i always thought that the point of seinfelds character was that he was supposed to be a sucky comedian.

Sometimes he is, sometimes he isn't. I think Kenny Banya was created to fill this role. Seinfeld certainly does poke fun at his own material in the show (when George says, 'Hey, don't you do a lot of 'did you ever notice...?' kind of stuff?'). I think Seinfeld's aware that he's not exactly Richard Pryor, but even though he was often the least funny character on the show, he holds it together by letting the others act crazy.
