I loved Seinfeld the show, however, I have never once found any of his stand-up routines on the show to be even remotely funny (the clips they usually show when the show is starting or ending). If his stand-up routine is anything like they make it out to be on the show, then I don't see how he is a popular comedian (in a comedy club setting).

Yeah, his comedy is god awful.
You know how people make fun of the Seinfeld-style comedy "What's the deal with peanuts?" - his standup is exactly like that. It's just cringe-worthy. I mean he had kind of a nice presence, a sort of relaxed goofyness that worked well, but it's not like anybody is watching tapes of old Seinfeld stand up acts.
Jerry is one unbelievably lucky mofo for hooking up with the real comedy genius that is Larry David.
