1. interpersonal relationships are too good to be a game so let's reduce it to one2. every episode always resets the characters: if they have something at the start it will be gone by the end, sure they'll have learned but they always seem to lose3. the deliveries4. he knows the stand-up bits are rubbish - ts: reading an essay & comment about the painful idiosyncrasy of unrequited love vs Spike-Buffy acting it out for you, hullo?! Hm?5. so funny, so so funny6. &c. or "I have run out of things to say right now, really, so I should stop 'saying', full stop".

Its a parody of the song "Walking on Air", which I wouldn't ever describe as synthpop.
The deal with the stand-up bits is that the show debutted during the early 90s standup fad, and the gimmick was the "its part stand up comedy, part sit-com!" They gradually phased out the standup bits, and with good cause.

Woman - "What's ironic?"
Elaine - "This. That we've come all this way, we made all this progress, but, you know, we lost the little things, the niceties."
Woman - "No, I mean, what does `ironic' mean?

Jerry: So were going to make the Post Office pay for my new stereo?
Kramer: It's just a writeoff for them.
Jerry: How is it a writeoff?
Kramer: They just write it off.
Jerry: Write it off what?
Kramer: Jerry, all these big companies, they write off everything.
Jerry: You don't even know what a writeoff is.
Kramer: Do you?
Jerry: No. I don't.
Kramer: But they do, and they are the ones writing it off.
(Kramer leaves.)
Jerry: I wish I just had the last twenty seconds of my life back.

Elaine: "Don't worry, Jerry, it's in the vault."
Jerry: "No good. Too many people know the combination." (makes alcohol swigging motion)
Kramer with the lollypop getting bigger throughout the episode, too, was a nice touch. "FDR wants me dead."

"Well, it's my job and I'm pretty damn serious about it. In addition to being a postmaster, I'm also a general. And we both know, it's the job of a general to, by God, get things done. So maybe you can understand why I get a little irritated when someone calls me away from my golf."

This is just plain wrong. I recently watched the whole series from start to finish over a period of two weeks and there is definite, if subtle, character development.
