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.
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.
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.

He was definitely the weakest actor of the 4, and had the poorest story lines.

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.
That is about the best burn on Seinfeld I’ve ever read. Bravo!
