There's something I like about the show but I really can't stand the main character. He seems too like, what a nerd/writer wishes he was, like smart, hot, confident, always has a plan, and tension with the hot girl.

Dan Harmon admitted that he initially based Jeff on some of his own personal experiences, so you're not too far off the mark here.

To me, Joel McHale's particular brand of acerbic humor only really works in Community, because he's usually the character who has to recognize his own faults and grow as a person by the end of the episode.
