So one thing I've always wondered... is Jerry's character playing the straight man to everybody's comedy?

It's obvious that he isn't meant to be the funniest character on the show. But is it because he's supposed to be playing the straight man?

I could never figure out if that was it or if he was just the sarcastic wry character who is always lowkey trolling everybody. Part of that confusion is what makes his character hilarious to me.

Elaine faking deafness to avoid talking to the driver only to get caught "hearing" is one of the top moments of the show....

But there are so many:
"Man Hands"
"Feats of Strength"
"Sponge Worthy"
"The Bet"
"Vandalay Industries"

I forgot how late Frank appears in the show. I thought he was in seasons 2-3
