Guessing most of you weren't around in the early/mid 80's when Seinfeld and Leno were killing it on Carson and Letterman.
It's very old fashioned humor
But that's why he was so unsuccesful - it was kid friendly humor...you watch Seinfeld and Saget on those Late night shows and they sound very similar.
And I understand he's on Carson and has to toe the line - but even after Seinfeld, his big stand up special was still about cereal and Superman.
The crazy subversive things that happened on Seinfeld had to have come from only Larry David's mind.

So he's not funny but still collecting multiple millions of dollars, as is the rest of the cast, from the show's syndication. Obviously, someone out there thought he was worth it. I look at Jerry as the conductor of the show, much like a musical conductor. He made all the other characters work as comedic team.

As the staff (and David) have said. They drew from the lives of the staff and cast. While Larry was there, he put his own stories down as plots for George. Carol Leifer has said that they'd repeatedly ask her for bits from her daily life for Elaine's stories.
