Bania is portrayed as a bad comedian who usually ends up riding [[Jerry Seinfeld]]'s coattails. His most notable traits are a relentlessly cheery demeanor and a fondness for soup. He appeared in at least six episodes throughout the series ("[[The Soup (Seinfeld episode)|The Soup]]", "[[The Secretary (Seinfeld episode)|The Secretary]]", "[[The Soup Nazi (Seinfeld episode)|The Soup Nazi]]", "[[The Fatigues (Seinfeld episode)|The Fatigues]]", "[[The Butter Shave (Seinfeld episode)|The Butter Shave]]"," [[The Finale (Seinfeld episode)|The Finale]]"). His comedic act mainly revolves around milk drinks such as [[Nesquik]], [[Bosco Chocolate Syrup|Bosco]] and [[Ovaltine]], according to Seinfeld, thinking that "anything that dissolves in milk is funny." |

Kenny will often refer to food items in superlatives, asserting that a particular dish is "the best," repeating the phrase twice. This format is first used in "[[The Soup (Seinfeld episode)|The Soup]]," where he tells Jerry that Mendy's restaurant has "the best swordfish in the city. The best, Jerry!" Bania asserts in "[[The Secretary (Seinfeld episode)|The Secretary]]" that Mendy's "had the best pea soup. The best, Jerry!", that the [[Soup Nazi]] "makes the best soup in the city. The best, Jerry!" ("[[The Soup Nazi (Seinfeld episode)|The Soup Nazi]]"), and that the duck at another restaurant is "the best. The best, Jerry!" ("[[The Fatigues (Seinfeld episode)|The Fatigues]]"). |
|||
At one in point in "The Fatigues" when Kenny is depressed about his abilities as a comic, he calls his act "the absolute worst. The worst, Jerry!" |
|||
Also, Kenny is known for the quote relating to Jerry giving him a good comic idea, "That's gold, Jerry!" |
