It wasn't really awful acting. What made the show work (and it was Seinfeld who was behind it) is that all the best lines were written for George, Elaine, in Kramer. They're the real stars of the show. Jerry was happy to collect checks as co-creator, writer, actor, and executive producer. He didn't need to be the star of his own show to be successful.
All that yes, but he’s still a bad actor and terrible comedian. I can upload a clip demonstrating what I’m talking about once the bile in my stomach that came as a reaction to thinking about him, subsides

I also hated anytime the audience would clap on the early seasons because they thought it was one of those "tender moments". Example being the busboy thanking George for saving his life but the punchline is him falling down the stairs.
My now ex-wife went to multiple tapings of Seinfeld (and I went to one of the Norm show). All applause is in response to a big lighted APPLAUSE sign. Before the filming starts they specifically tell you to laugh really hard and loudly when the sign lights up. Those little subdued bursts of laughter you hear in the aired shows are either added in later, or are in response to a very brief flashing of the sign.

Anyway, this means that it wasn’t even the audience who thought it was one of those tender moments. It was some dumb industry person who thought that was the right time to trigger the audience to applause.

A couple other rascals can probably tell us all about it from an industry perspective

I can't imagine Larry being cool with that.

really those three were just much better comedic actors then seinfeld. after he made a bundle on seinfeld he didn't bother doing much else because he realized it would expose that he's not really that funny. He owed his whole career and fortune to larry david. Curb is much funnier than seinfeld because larry playing himself is much funnier and more likeable than that stubby kike Jason Alexander.
