Just watched the first two seasons of Friends and the first season of Seinfeld (never seen them before so a trip to the past) and Seinfeld is so much more intelligent and Friends so shallow and boring (outside some Joey gimmicks). Is there any such show with playful intelligent humor as Seinfeld these days?

I keep coming back to: - 30 rock - arrested development - curb your enthusiasm and - jake and amir - joel haver - brian david gilbert all in short clips on youtube
Your whole list is pretty great actually, just I'm not familiar with Jake and Amir.

Curb Your Enthusiasm, as others have mentioned. It has an improvised feel to it (intentionally!) which makes it quite unique.
What We Do in the Shadows is more modern but also a brilliant comedy.
The Office is amazing too, though it’s not for everyone and has its downs.

Frasier is the epitome of hilarious and intelligent humor. In my personal opinion it is 10x more intelligent and funny than Seinfeld.
It's been a while, but maybe I'll give Frasier another shot, even if only as some quasi-filler. :)

if you loved Seinfeld but never tried CYE you're missing out.
I love them both in different ways, but lots of overlap (because of Larry David), and overall I've had way more LOL moments with CYE.
By the end of a typical episode (esp in the first few seasons) by the time the end credits roll I'm chuckling non-stop right up through the start of the next one, simply by replaying portions of the episode in my mind. Such a treasure of comedy.
I love this. I picked one at random https://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheCigarStoreIndian.htm I haven't seen this one, but it's great. The characters are so familiar you can construct the whole thing perfectly in your head, now I don't really need to see it. Although I can't picture Elaine's apartment. Was that a regular set? The script is put together like a Swiss watch. Every line fits perfectly in place. Kudos to th…
Reading the transcript still isn't close to actually seeing the episode. Is this some sort of younger trend, like people who watch 30 minute movie summary videos and then say they don't need to watch the movie?
It's a long way from Wikipedia's plot summaries for beloved movies; Eg Die Hard 3, the incredible 10 minutes roller coaster slalom through Manhattan is rendered as "McCain and Zeus travel to the Wall Street subway station". Something like that.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
The fake "clip show" episode where they misremember a Seinfeld episode happening to them is one of my favorite scene.

Why do you think these are generated? As far as I can tell this isn't a parody site. The domain was registered in 2003 and the design clearly reflects that era. Not everything is AI today.
> Why do you think these are generated? They mean the transcription not the general content. "shrude" ("shrewd"), "in the counting" (probably "in accounting"), and other transcription errors occur in that linked script, as examples. There also appear to be missing words in some lines.
