I agree that sometimes hearing stand-up over and over again can lessen the comedic effect. With all the stand-up shows on tv and cable, it's easy to hear the same routines three or four times.
But I have to say that one of the greatest things about Seinfeld is that the comedic effect never seems to wear off. Seinfeld is the one of the only shows that I actually LOVE TO SEE A RERUN! I think almost everyone agrees with that. Sometimes the episodes are better the second and third time around because you begin to catch all the little nuances and attention to details. Like George reading Glamour magazine, Drake & Drakette watching a portable TV, Jerry talking about buying a yo-yo in the "Handicapped Spot" episode then doing 'round the worlds in the hospital room in the "Junior Mints" episode.
