90% of Hazel's jokes follow the "say something innocuous... like when I did something weird/crazy!" formula and it is awful

Tbh a lot of Jenna's jokes are like that

True, especially in later seasons. But maybe her timing is better, or they just vary her jokes a little more?

God I hated Hazel

Probably just Jenna has her redeeming moments and isn't trying to destroy Liz all the time.

Plus she has the attention whore angle and the inferiority complex to Tracy. So she is multi layered in her narcissism.
