The semifictional Jerry Seinfeld character occasionally used this phrase, but only with heavy irony so as to mock the concept of observational comedy, and never during the interstitial stand-up segments at the beginning, end, and (early in the series) during episodes. The only non-ironic use of the phrase in the series was spoken by the George Costanza character.
