It doesn't bother me too much, in part because as others pointed out he's happy, which is half the joke, but also because I think it fits into the whole vein of humor running through that show about the characters *not* being great people in all aspects. Like, yes, a lot of them have incredibly close bonds and they're all generally good, kind, generous people--except Tom is only very rarely generous; Ron and Donna and April are all of these things but in very unexpected ways; Leslie is all of these things but she makes snap judgments and holds grudges and can do pretty awful things thinking she's doing the right thing. So for them all to be in on the joke of bullying Larry makes sense to me: they're all imperfect people who, like most normal people, take some small part of their joy in life from being nasty to someone else.

Pretty much this.

And him having such an amazing life outside of work is what keeps the anti-Jerry stuff from feeling cruel overall. He doesn't let it get to him because his job is just something he does between having fun with his beautiful wife and daughters who all adore him. If anything, I think he actually kind of enjoys being That Guy at work, because it keeps expectations for him low.

Also, apparently his actor fucking loved it all. I mean, it made him a more integral part of the ensemble and the offset meant that he got to snuggle up with Christie Brinkley. Win/win.
