    I like the idea of that being a meta joke, it certainly seems like everyone in Jerry’s life is a wacky cartoon character and the “professional comedian” is the normal guy. There are some legitimately funny moments with Jerry over 9 seasons, but a lot of his dialogue is basically “did that just happen?!?” type reactions.

      but that’s a result of how they wrote the character Jerry, not necessarily a reflection of Jerry the real person.
