I seriously cannot think of anyone better to play George's father. Frank was so freaking funny on that show.
He suited the role perfectly
Totally agree! He is one of the all time great supporting cast characters.... maybe the greatest.
TooJ Kool and Carries father also 😂
I love this guy man
+Michael Russo He ALONE is the MAIN reason I am addicted to Seinfeld and King of Queens!!! God Bless Jerry Stiller!
I can't believe they initially wanted Stiller to wear a bald cap. The fact that George went bald so young---while Frank still had a full head of hair---made the dynamic between the father and son characters even funnier.
Baldness comes from your mother's side.
Oh how different the show could have been
@RUFUS T. FIREFLY ???
Keary jon Botley not true. It’s a myth. And in my family all of the men in my mother’s side have dark hair and went bald at an early age and my brothers and I are are 25, 28, and 32 and have no signs of balding all have bright blonde hair like our dad.
Baldness always skips a generation.
Rest In Peace. Unforgettable, hilarious, Seinfeld’s greatest addition.
The man who gave us Festivus ...RIP..at times seeing some of the crazy ones in my family , I do think about bringing out the pole
@@rajnair7342 Serenity now. 🙏
I've literally never seen Frank Costanza not scream before. This is unnerving.
LOL! awww....I remember him from Stiller & Meara.....he didn't yell then either!
sorry to be offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Salvador Keaton instablaster =)
It's cold calculus. He finally found that Serenity. But come Festivus...
Serenity Now!!!
“We weren’t waiting for our next line, we were just listening to each other.” That’s the vibe I get when I watch Seinfeld. Great show.
acting = reacting
All the comical twists & turns.. everyone involved with the show had a " sense of humor ".
Stiller was TV Gold as Costanza. Never a dull moment. He really carried many scenes. Every holiday we still joke about "Festivus".
My father *loves* Festivus! Especially how it starts: "The airing of grievances!"
"I got a lot of problems with you people!"
Stiller said in another interview how Michael Richards said, of the pole, to "drag it across the floor---it will be funnier." Stiller pulls off scenes like he isn't acting at all! That's why he is such a good actor!
That episode just doesn't get old!
Most of our local bars throw Fetivus parties.
@Jack Conrad Love it!
he was hilarious on king of Queens too
"Are you saying you want a piece of me?"
YOU GOT IT!!
+gangelone999 😂
deacqulyn dowdell "I can drop you like a bag of dirt..."
You want it? You got it.
deacqulyn dowdell YOU GOT IIIIIT!!! :P
"Jerry, Frank Costanza. George is dead. Call me back!"
I think that's my favorite moment in the entire show.
That was awesome! Love that phone call!
Another great one is when he saw the movie The Net, "he says" I was watching a movie about the Internet with the girl from the bus" (SPEED) LOL!!!
my fav is when Georges mother is coddling him because hes a hand model....so she asks him if he wants banana's in the jello, "No Bananas inside the jello" "GEORGE LIKES THE BANANAS" "THEN LET HIM HAVE BANANAS ON THE SIDE!!!!"
lol...I don't remember those lines but you captured them perfectly...that's golden dude.
Steve Fowler “captures them perfectly”? It’s a quote. Hahahaha.
"Seinfeld" never gets old, and casting Jerry Stiller as "Frank Costanza" was genius. I lose it everytime he starts screaming.
He was also great as Arthur Spooner on King of Queens.
+F Dannn
Yeah, but the rest of the show was good and Seinfeld was brilliant.
as is King Of Queens
In many ways he's better as Spooner than Costanza. As Spooner his character is very deep and complicated. As Costanza he was just loud and crazy. Both great characters but if I had to choose the better it would be Spooner.
+John Boutet
Yeah, cause his screen time in Seinfeld wasn't that much as in King of Queens, where he was one of the main members of the cast. With more time Costanza would have had more depth.
You must be kidding me...the writing on kings of queens was hideous sophomoric cliché ridden drivel...
jerry stiller is a legend
So was his wife
Absolutely
I cannot even look at the man without laughing....he was awesome in King of Queens as well. R.I.P
Sharp as a tack and always a consummate professional. He never broke character, not even during the bloopers.
SERENITY NOW!!!!
insanity later!
"Hoochey Mama!!!!!!!"
+Ti My (InTD93) 😂😂
you're supposed to yell it ?
yassine arfane You're not SUPPOSED to yell it, but you're supposed to say it when you find yourself getting upset, and George and his dad are always upset, so that's just how it comes out lol.
I loved when Frank fought with Kramer because Kramer had stopped short with Estelle. “Stopping short is MY move!”
"Stop crying and fight your father!" 🤣
“LET’S RUMBLE”!!!
"You can take him, Georgie !"
A hundred years from now, someone will be laughing at "A Festivus for the Rest of Us". Jerry Stiller will be a classic.
"..You know about the cup sizes and all ? They have different cups.
You got the A,... B, C, and the D. That's the biggest. " ~Frank Costanza.
Ha! Classic line
George: I know the D is the biggest. I've based my whole life on knowing that the D is the biggest.
spittysmom. I KNOW THE D's THE BIGGEST! I BASE MY ENTIRE LIFE ON KNOWING THAT THE D IS THE BIGGEST!
What about women who wear an E, F or G cup size bra?? Gotta love big breasted women!
"It's not a bra....it's a bro"
Such a humble man, and brilliant character actor.
Every scene Jerry played in Seinfield, completely cracked me up. I just loved his character. RIP Mr Stiller.
Such a legend I still can't believe he's gone.
Such a humble and interesting man. Every scene he was in was a treat.
such an amazing actor.
R.I.P to a great underrated actor. You will always be remembered.
GREAT old show...the chemistry amongst the main players was so awesome! Thank you Jerry Stiller for a *memorable* and hilarious character of "Frank Costanza"! And I am so sorry about Anne's passing...lovely & funny lady too!
Did you see her in "Lovers and Other Strangers?" Pure gold.
Anyone else love his role as Carrie's father on The King of Queens?
No, I would have kicked him down those cellar stairs a dozen times!
Ya but Carrie and Doug were the worst characters in tv history ...Kevin James should not be an actor
Absolutely!
@@natekennedy7274 Tell that to his bank account genius.
Best TV Dad. He will be missed
Insight into the genius that is Jerry Stiller. Frank Costanza and Arthur Spooner are and forever will be two of my favorite all-time tv characters.
Seriously one of the sweetest guys ever to appear on TV: I think we loved Frank so much because we knew the real person underneath was so wonderful :-) he kept the show crazy-fun
Jerry Stiller is a life long comedian. One of the best. He always made me laugh.
LUV Jerry Stiller, he’s a very funny man. Frank Castanza is a GREAT character.
"Del bbboca visssta"
Del visto becko
Where the hell are my shirts?? It's cruisewear!!!
Del besto vicko, I die every time 😂🤣😂🤣
"My son could never hatch a plan like that" :)
Art Pintauro What the hell... does that mean?
Great actor and he never broke in a scene. You laugh at any one scene by itself across the entire series. It probably is the greatest comedy series ever.
WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN
***** Are you saying... you want a piece of me?
SERENITY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Bruno Perissotti LOLOL!!! I'm laughing again just read your sentence!!!! 'SERENITY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW'
Bruno Perissotti
Serenity now...Insanity later! lol
jemimallah it means whatever the hell you want it to mean
For my money the funniest man ever on television. Did he ever do anything without stealing the show?
He and his wife Anne Meara did a great duo stand-up in the Ed Sullivan days. Ben and his sister did a debut on one show. It's on TH-cam.
Gleason & Carney were great but Jerry Stiller just had perfect timing & delivery.
Maybe when they were on the game show Tattletales. But even on that they were good.
Jerry and his lovely wife, Anne Meara, Two of the GREAT comic / character actors of our age.
Boy they really struck comedy gold with Stiller. One of the many unintentional good accidents that turned better than what was planned.
That guy... he's my kinda guy.
Rest in peace Mr Stiller, such a beautiful, talented and insightful man. I'm tearing up writing this...
i love that part where frank rings jerry's father - This is frank costanza . jerry's father- yeah what do you want? We're moving into bel boca vista lock stock and barrell. we gonna be in the pool and then at the end he says AND I DARE YOU TO KEEP ME OUT! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
so glad he decided to do the screaming..can you imagine him calm?? i cant.
Respect and a HUGE THANK YOU to the guy who made me laugh growing up!!
''you want a piece of me?''
''WELL YOU GOT IT!!!''
I love him so so much. Seinfeld Rules!!!!!
"A Festivus for the rest of us!"
Thinkmacflythink Georgey till u pin me festivus isn’t over
You were perfect, sir. I'm sure thousands want to give you a massive hug right now.
I can always feel that they all enjoyed each other. Their scenes were so natural yet hilarious and they were such a good team. It allowed so many jokes to land and all the characters were so strong
You had me sleeping on a pee-stained couch?
The cushion was turned over!
The very idea: You had me lying in urine !
A great interview with an icon of comedy.
Thank you for the endless laughs you've given Jerry, decades and decades of them! 💕
How anybody could dislike this is beyond me. RIP
how could anyone not like you
Brilliant actor, made the character himself and caught this break at the tail end of his career!
Then he ran the show on The King of Queens!
I'm glad he took the part he played Frank costanza so well
A true comedic genius. Jerry and Anne making everyone laugh up there now, RIP
Thank you JERRY STILLER for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. You were from an era of real showbiz royalty in which your legacy can not be undone. And thank you George Costanza for inventing "Festavus" for the rest of us..
This man is hilarious, he really is.
wonderfull man !!!! Thank you Mr Stiller you remind me at my grand father
You are a great actor
Such an enduring antidotes!!!! Love that he credited Alexander with the physical comedy! Hes an amazing actor... love them alllllllll!
Frank Costanza - Serenity Now!
RIP Mr. Stiller
RIP Jerry Stiller, enjoy your ‘Serenity Now’ in heaven
The manzierre when estelle walks in and sees frank and kramer together trying to hook the manzierre while dancing.
Comedic actors don’t get the acclaim they deserve. This guy is talented and connects with the audience. Yea, I know it’s comedy, but he has a gift.
Big up to you, Jerry Stiller! You my hero, dawg!
I love anything Jerry Stiller does. Stiller and Meara were hilarious together. What a sad day when God took that funny lady to be with him.
"i worked out with a dumbell yesterday. i feel vigurous!"
Funny guy, him and his wife were a great comedy duo together for a long time also.
All of their scenes were gold 😂
@@tonybleau6219 I think she even played in The King Of Queens with him and they went on a couple "dates" on the show, I remember them being in Zoolander also with their son Ben.
The funniest thing on the show by a mile - His presence would have my in stitches.
Such an incredible part of the success of the show
'Only one person can hit Jason at a time' - LOL!
vaadaenmacchi I was a bit annoyed hearing about her ask if she could hit Jason; it’s like she didn’t get it. She was amidst real comedians. I imagine her being oblivious to the real genius happening throughout the creative process.
when i was little, i had a drama teacher who did broadway plays and one thing she always used to say to us was “whatever the play called for, you just figured it out and had to do”. she used to talk about learning entire pages in minutes and having to memorize and perform it right then and there, and whenever I see these guys talk i always think about that. Especially when he said Jason Alexander told him to not be afraid to hit him lol. the best thing that this show ever did was cast actors with a theatre background. They’re all incredible actors and you can see the influence literally from the 1940s and 1950s and probably even before, all over the show.
RIOT! I watch the reruns and still laugh like it is the first time. Brilliant comedy.
We're gonna be at the pool! We're gonna be in the clubhouse! We're gonna be all over that shuffleboard court! AND I DARE YOU TO KEEP ME OUT!
i just wrote those famous lines....classic!
Del Boca Vista!! 😂
It's always a better episode with Stiller in it....and Newman
It's funny. Every time I see Newman all I can think of is "You moron, it's your fault that the JP was shut off"
I can't say his name without going: "Hello... Newman."
Hello jerry
Newman!! 😠
The only reason I watched King of Queens was to watch Jerry Stiller r.i.p Frank you made millions of us laugh serenity now
RIP Jerry Stiller - The man, the legend. What great memories this guy created. 👍
"Jerry, this is Frank Constanza, George Steinbrenner is at my house. George is dead. Call me back!"
Jerry stiller you’re perfect!
I put me tablet on continuous play with Seinfeld and fall asleep listening to the show and laughter...It gives me a great sense of humor and heals my heart...give it a shot...
Amazingly talented actor. I remember him fron Seinfeld, but also from King of Queens in which he was very funny too. Rest in peace Jerry Stiller, you won't be forgotten. Your fan from Finland.
He's funny on The King of Queens.
"Kasha?"
just that word alone made me laugh. effin genius
Kasha varnishkas.
A standard meal from Minsk to Moscow.
My favorite scene was when Frank had is war flashbacks about cooking and the song from Platoon was playing making it super dramatic.
"Are you saying you want a piece of me?" & so many other lines were and are still priceless. I still watch the reruns and laugh today knowing what's coming as I did originally. Jerry and the other characters were/are amazingly funny. What a Great Cast! So outrageous, so out there, so hilarious. The writing and situations - priceless. Who thinks of that stuff? Genius.
Thanks for the non stop side splitting laughter.
Jerry Stiller, half the show.
He does have beautiful hair.
Mr. Stiller was fabulous in the Seinfeld show as well as The King of Queens. What a great comedian.
Estelle: "Frank, if aunt baby were alive right now, how old would she be ?"
Frank: "She'd never make it"
One of my favorite scenes.
Damn R.I.P
2020s taking too much from us 😔
Rest in peace, legend.
absolutely perfect casting, couldn't have been any better
Some of my favorite characters on Seinfeld were George’s parents!! Hilarious! Jerry Stiller won’t be forgotten
Jerry Stiller best choice of all time! Frank Costanza we miss(love) you!
"What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for?"
He has an arm like a cannon!!!!!
He hit 30 home runs and over a hundred rbi's! He's got a rocket for an arm! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOIN'!
The way he waited to put his 2 cents in there.
This guy proves you can't judge someone by their looks...he looks like the grumpy guy at a dry cleaners...yet he the one of the funniest guys ever with great comedic timing!
Funniest scene with Frank: When Frank and Elaine got into it at the airport(?). Frank: " You want a piece of me!?" From the out takes, it took them at least 3 attempts to get it right. Elaine and/or George kept cracking up.
Favorite episode with Frank: As many have stated - Festivus. But favorite part: Airing of Grievances. We'd do it, every once in a while, at staff meetings at work.
Jerry was great when he was young but he really made it big in his later years so this proves that saying is right NEVER GIVE UP!
Rest In Peace Mr. Stiller you are a legend
RIP Jerry ! I ll never forget all the laughter and joy I had the pleasure of getting from watching you guys the whole cast is irreplaceable and I am so blessed to have had the chance to witness those great times !
My favorite holiday pastime: Sitting around the dinner table and doing the "airing of grievances" with the family.
