Millennial here. I tried to watch Seinfeld back in the day, and I thought it was kind of meh. But there was one character I really hated on the show. He had a whiny pathetic voice, was always complaining about something or another, and was just an awful actor, unlike the rest of the cast. I thought, if they just removed that one guy, the show would be great and I'd enjoy it so much more.
I found out later, that guy was Seinfeld. So... I never really got into the show.
- THANK YOU! I can't stand that guy. His voice kills me and I never found him funny. Nothing against him personally, he might be a great person, but I can't understand how people can stand the content he makes.
  
  ~~Good~~ news! Seinfeld is a pedophile and supposedly kind of a sociopath. He's also tried to hop on the anti-woke train a couple of times in the past few years.
  The man made a major contribution to western cultus as a whole, but man is he a bastard.
  
  I’ve seen a few episodes of his show where he takes comedians to get a coffee in his fancy cars. He often comes across like an asshole. Sometimes I wonder if he’s in charge of the show why he would want to be portrayed that way? Presumably he could edit some stuff out?
  
  I assume it's supposed to be part of the comedy, that's kind of the point of the show, they're all terrible, so assuming he's kinda playing the character that could make sense.
  
  Not Seinfeld the show, I’m talking about an interview show Seinfeld the man does. I dont think it’s scripted. But yea he could just be playing up his persona, idk.
  
  Right, I do mean even in the interview show I bet he's playing the character to an extent
- He was definitely the weakest actor of the 4, and had the poorest story lines.
  
  He was supposed to be the outside observer making the jokes about his crazy friends. That's why early episodes had him literally doing stand up in the intro and outro.
  
  I thought all the episodes had that. I never really watched the show much though.
  
  They phased it out after the first or second season.
  
  According to other sources I have found, the show had them for the first seven seasons. They were removed when Larry David left the show.
  
  My mistake.
- Seinfeld is definitely the weakest character and the show is the most memorable from everyone else
- That is about the best burn on Seinfeld I've ever read. Bravo!
- Yeah also a millennial and it's just... not that funny? I get that plenty of shows haven't aged perfectly, so it's not that. Friends has plenty of moments that haven't aged well (lots of gay jokes about Chandler come to mind), but the comedy still holds up really well. Seinfeld... Not so much.
