I agree that his style is dated nowadays. Fair comment. But in the 90s his humour chops centred around absurdity and it was fresh. You needed to have seen him with 90’s eyes to see how well he fitted the times. I watch reruns of him now and he often seems flat. His observational style has moved on and the times don’t suit him anymore. But please don’t make the mistake that back in the day he wasn’t a comedy superstar. Of course, Larry David in his corner didn’t hurt.
Change '90s to the '80s and you might have a point. Seinfeld debuted in 1989. His stand up career peaked in the mid '80s. Which makes me think you don’t actually know what you’re talking about and are just repeating something you heard from someone else.
