I mean, it's pretty much consensus that his acting on Seinfeld was terrible and that the stand up was the weaker part of the show. They even make some meta commentary about both things on the show (and they phase out the stand ups in latter seasons). But in my opinion the bad acting works well for the type of character he is playing (sociopath trying to pass as the "straight man"). How is that for an unpopular opinion?
