But he tries too damn hard to be over the top that he just comes off as some guy trying to be over the top. Which is very dry and boring to me.

I think Tracy Morgan is the best part of 30 rock. I find his character hilarious. I also love married and seinfeld. Comedy covers a pretty broad spectrum.

But aren't "over the top" and "dry" kind of opposite concepts? I'm confused how he can be both.

He's just so obvious and calculating about being over the top that it takes all the ridiculousness out of his performance and it becomes dry and lame. Like the circle of life. I don't know how to explain it any better. Not being condescending, if I just sound confusing, I really don't know how to put it any better than that.
