Not true, he is fantastic at impressions and in 'What up with that'. I guess when he plays the average joe he isn't so great though. During the goodbyes he used to be way more active as well, I hate it when he's only just standing at the back.

I personally think SNL in general isn't funny. You and some others may not find Kenan funny, but it's obvious that someone on the SNL production team finds him funny or else he wouldn't be there. Plus I partly think the reason he gets used so much is cause before joining SNL he actually had experience in TV and sketch comedy compared to other cast members that are usually stand-up comedians and/or improv performers with little to no TV experience.
A boat that floats on water can also sink in it.
