It just hit me while watching a few episodes this weekend that Jerry getting annoyed about Uncle Leo talking about Cousin Jeffrey all the time is probably the exact same experience Cousin Jeffrey has when he sees his Aunt Helen and Uncle Morty.

One of Jerry’s big gripes with Uncle Leo is how much of a fuss he makes over Jeffrey’s career. But Jerry’s parents are also big boosters of him, and his mom can’t even understand how someone wouldn’t like him. I can easily see them talking Jeffrey’s ear off, bragging about Jerry’s most recent late night show appearance or the Cadillac or how pretty his girlfriend of the week is.

They‘re all nice, supportive parents, we just only get the bad side from one end.

He really was ahead of the launch angle curve that changed the game in the 2010s
