@@frostreaver1 This makes sense. If George actually worked on the file, he would have known and wouldn't have jumped ship to work for Penske. That actually makes the joke a thousand times funnier.

Her solution: GET RID OF THE SOUND PROOF WALLS SEPERATING US!!! After that we were just in long tables looking at each other calling clients and trying to understand our "products," enough to convince someone else to buy them. It was a night mare.

@@chucksolutions4579 I've worked jobs like that too. I didn't realize at it the time, but it's disrespectful to the job. It says "well, your job is so low on the totem pole that there is nothing confidential or important that will be coming across your desk or in your conversations." It can be demoralizing. Where I work now, they give employees who don't have an office the option of having a large cubicle with tall walls. Some go with one or more short walls, but they have a say in how their space looks.

Maybe my favorite George episode ever. Interviewing for the job and then just assuming you got the job and show up at the job. It's both a brilliant and horrible idea lol.
He didn't assume that he got the job. The way his interview ended made it ambiguous, so George didn't know what to do. George and Jerry decided that it would be best if he just showed up as if he was hired.
@@MrParkerman6 No it's not. You're thinking of Larry David's experience where he was fired from SNL on Friday but showed up on Monday like nothing happened. It didn't work, btw.
I love that they have Penske playing with a little noose when he breaks the news to George. So many brilliantly funny touches! Best written TV comedy ever
I went through a really rough patch a couple of years ago, I was jobless and damn near homeless, all’s I had was a few seasons of Seinfeld on dvd and boy I swear it saved my life. I was at a crossroads and doing applications looking for work and finally said fuck it boy, I completely lied on multiple resumes almost as a joke, I swear I put that I worked at Vandalay industries on a few of them, I ended up getting a job I had no experience in the field in and killed it and still work in that industry till this day. I can truly say that George changed my life. You can’t make that shit up lol
But should be the television norm. LOADS of wickedly funny writers in LA, the problem is that the preferred sitcom models are Friends and How I Met Your Mother. Studios want romantic plotlines much more than satire.
I’m glad you said that, I think so too. I remember being in 9th grade and for some reason we had to tell the class what our favorite TV show was and I a made fun of because I said I liked Seinfeld
I love how Penske and Tuttle open the file and come to completely different conclusions. Also love how George re-uses "you are aware." It's like he became mesmerized by that phrase lol.
The point being that George has no credibility or experience in this company's line of work, so the only way he can appear credible is to repeat phrases said by other people verbatim, or stick to neutral idiocies such as "I enjoy understanding."
I like when George hands the Pensky file over to Mr. Tuttle, smiling and seemingly confident that Mr.Tuttle will react the same way Mr. Pensky did while going through the file! And George has done NOTHING with it! Lol 😂 (except for transferring the contents of the file to the accordion style folder,of course) Classic
It did use a laugh track a lot actually, mostly for scenes that were not filmed in Jerry's apartment, which was always a with a studio audience. I think the "oh no" scene is definitely a laugh track, the laughs sound too "dubbed" or however the best the way put it is. But they were clever with little things (like the "oh no" to try to appear spontaneous). "Married with Children" did stuff like that all the time with their laugh tracks.
I love how penski barely glances at the file and just says you have put a lot of work into this. Then later Tuttle barely glances at it and say what have you been doing? You didn't do anything with this.
@Jonathan Esser The thing I don't understand with reactions like that is sitcoms like these often require multiple takes in front of a live studio audience.. It's like actors acting out a play and the audience don't know what happens next, they're just following the story But sitcoms are different and always have multiple bloopers with actors screwing up their lines, forgetting them, etc, etc.. they redo them in front of the audience until they get it right When the lady says "Oh no!", I'm assuming it was her very first reaction because if this scene was done multiple times, that reaction becomes less and less genuine because she already knows what is going to happen Am I making sense? haha, basically in the event the scene needs to be redone, the audience reaction and laughter become less genuine with multiple takes, it's like it becomes laughing on cue at a punchline just for tv purposes
Daborshy it's called I have lived on rock bottom my entire life and any shot is better then hanging myself which is always the other option of any given day. That's Costanza Confidence.
I always lose it at "Give me my file" with the finger point. Pretty much every one-off character in Seinfeld is so perfect, with these little things they add to their character.
This episode should've been called The Penske File rather than The Barber. George's story in that episode is so much funnier and more clever than Jerry's barber story!
Come on man, the barber story was also excellent. Everyone has been in that situation of trying to get the better of 2 barbers when going for a hair cut. And the musical backdrop from "Barber of Seville" was brilliant.
As much as I prefer not to have a laugh track, hearing an audience member saying "oh no" when the receptionist told George that Pensky is arriving is amazing.
@@TheLastWalentaAnd how the heck do you do THIS show without laughter, live or not? Imagine Kramer declaring he was out of "The Contest," slapping down the money, and...crickets??
I love this scene because almost the same thing happened to me! I interviewed for a job and was told at the end of the interview I got it, so naturally, I stopped looking and backed out of the other jobs I was interviewing for (basically telling them YOUR LOSS, Penski offered me a job 😂). Two days before I was supposed to start, a recruiter called me and said "Oooo, sorry. I know we offered you the job but we actually can't hire you." Some BS about headcount or something. I was pissed because I turned down the other jobs! But they made the mistake of telling me when and where my day 1 training was going to be with the two other people they hired. So on that day I just...showed up lol! I told the guy in charge that there was some confusion, I was offered the job and there might be some issues but they weren't clear blah blah blah. And he was like..."Well, we got room in my office and I don't want to do this again. Just come on in" - I just showed up every day after that and about a week later I had all the paperwork and was officially getting paid!
A really subtle touch that goes unnoticed is Penske essentially practicing making a noose in the last scene, indicating his situation is so far gone that he's thinking about ending things (sort of like financial execs when the stock market crashes really bad).
I had a job like that once right outta college I was way under qualified lasted 3 weeks, got fired. I was an HR Analyst. Still not sure to this day, what I was supposed to analyze.
I would never fire someone after only 3 weeks unless I found out they lied on their resume. You have no clue if someone is going to work out by that point. Sounds like either they were unwilling to train you, or the person who hired you was incompetent at sniffing out the proper talent.
His "drumming" is actually really amazing. Great feel, cool phrasing, killer touch. Not sure if he plays or if he's just so talented that everything artistic he does is great.
If you look closely, he's in office "808", which was the Roland drum machine heavily used back in 80s Hip Hop and 90s Rap.. 808 is slang for "beat" or "track" Was George drumming just a coincidence?.. I wonder
Pretty much me in every job memorizing steps without knowing or caring about it Pretending to understand things and agreeing with everything the boss says and then being buried in trying to decide everything due to my initial lack of interest and all the while slowly building anxiety until one day all my small errors have built up and are exposed showing my incompetence
If you're wondering why there's random opera music, this episode was called The Barber. It was centered around Jerry getting a crappy haircut from his aging Italian barber and trying to get it fixed by the barber's nephew without him finding out. The name of the opera is called The Barber of Seville.
Sometimes when I’m lying in bed at night I wonder what George Costanza was actually supposed to do with the Penske file.
Probably to review it and add legal notations. Penske is under indictment and they were probably helping build his case or handle some of the accounting troubles from a business being frozen.
What was in it? We'll never know.

thats basically what they made the movie "Big' about..
I enjoy understanding 😂 😂 😂
Every time I see a Penske truck I think of Costanza.
“I enjoy understanding” 😂
I'm watching this at work.... I am George Costanza
Afternoon nap under the desk?
Imagine trying to kill time without a computer. Yikes.
Mr. Penske? Of the Penske file?
Andrew Penner CONSTANZA?!
Andrew Penner *Doug Dimmadome?*
@@thehammurabichode7994 Owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome!?
"I enjoy understanding" lol
Every time I see a Penske truck out on the road I think of this. “ you’re not Penske material”!
Same, lmao.
I’ve seen every episode at least 5 times, and I never caught him practicing making a noose 😂
Hahaha I love that part... 🤣
I just noticed that too
He actually gets down on the drums lol
No computer, no internet, no mobile phone. Can't imagine working without any of these.
Penske playing with a noose....hilarious!
I love how Penske bursts into the office.
If i formed a rock band i'd call it The Penske File.
Lmao the image of Penske fashioning a noose as he talks about the board of directors being under indictment gets me everytime! 🤣🤣
"story of my life" hand gesture at the end is a perfect finish to this epic classic episode.
So fitting and perfect that the one place that George is “material” to work for is so inept and screwed up that their board is under indictment…
Everytime I see a Penke truck I think of George's boss telling him he's not Penske material.
I've been retired since 2003 and have been working on the Penske file since then. I'm not ashamed....
2000.....and did Federal time relating to the indictments.
Are you aware?
Pretty much me in every job memorizing steps without knowing or caring about it
Pretending to understand things and agreeing with everything the boss says and then being buried in trying to decide everything due to my initial lack of interest and all the while slowly building anxiety until one day all my small errors have built up and are exposed showing my incompetence
Totally me right now
That's called learning. Think of it as a practice job that will be your competition some day, and you are sabotaging it.
Welcome to the human experience.
OMG the Peter Principle exists
I’ve got away with this for 30 years now!
Love when he scrambles awake! 03:49
Brian Battles This is exactly why a sleeping alcove is indispensable.
Best excuse ever "working in the smaller office" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like how it’s exactly 9:00 am when he walks into his office. So cartoonish.
You never been on time before? Get real
"The Penske file". "Mr. Penske is here to see you."
Ohhh that Penske…we’ll straighten him out! 😂
Laughed so much watching George play the pencil drums at his desk
“I am in the smaller office…” I love the little hint of indignation from George there…
Jason is amazing, but the supporting cast in this episode is out of this world.
one of the best episodes
Yeah, I was just thinking of how perfectly casted the actor who played Mr. Tuttle was.
"What have you been doing all week?....you haven't done anything with this" 😂😂
George even took the Penske file home with him, but didn’t do a damn thing with it 😂
Well, George always has that Marine Biologist apprenticeship to fall back on
I thought he always wanted to pretend to be an architect.
@@carultch He can pretend to be both.
What a slacker! God, I love that guy! George is everything I wish I could be.
This was me after I got my first job after graduating. "They gave me the Penske project."
Tuttle went from “You understand everything immediately” to “I’m beginning to wonder if you understand anything” LOL that is literally me
If you're wondering why there's random opera music, this episode was called The Barber. It was centered around Jerry getting a crappy haircut from his aging Italian barber and trying to get it fixed by the barber's nephew without him finding out. The name of the opera is called The Barber of Seville.
"Well, you missed a lovely little party that we had for Grace" Haha.
