The irony is that Jim, while being the most mentally stable person on the show, always seems like a smug asshole. I suspect a key to effective sit coms is having cluster b personality disorders as the main characters in order to drive the plot. Seinfeld excelled at this with three narcissists and a psychopath, having Kramer goad one of the others into an antisocial action and then we get to watch as the narcissistic George, Elaine, or Jerry make the situation worse by trying to deflect blame.
