I'm surprised at how no one really discusses how stupid/illogical/uninformed Jerry's on-stage comedy bits are. Seems like the majority of them are based on him not understanding something, but basing a rant on him mocking this thing that he doesn't understand. An example:

[B][I]Jerry:[/I][/B][I] Women put on their perfume in an interesting way. I love watching them do that. You ever notice that, guys? They have their little key, Stratego little areas. [hums, mimics putting perfume on] Places they think we're going. And they always hit this one. [points to the back of his wrist] Women are convinced this is the most action-packed area that could ever happen in the dating world. What? What is that, ladies? What is happening here? Is that in case you slap the guy or something? He still finds you intriguing. [mimes being slapped] "Oh! Chanel."[/I]

Has he really never heard of perfume 'pulse points?' Just one example. I literally yell stuff at the tv for 75% of his Seinfeld bits. They're just wrong/dumb.

So, there's a Reddit fan theory where all of the show means to represent Jerry as a "sh***y comedian," and how he always bombs and no one respects his comedy. Which is true—the show self-mocks. But, that in-show stuff seems to be completely separate from the intro and closing stage bits. Which i always assumed were him being him, and just accidentally insipid. Not some sort of self-aware, self-parody thing.

What y'all think?
