While this bit is excellent, it's not representative of his overall performance in the show. Most of the time I feel like he's stuck in the whiny loser stereotype.
Not true at all. I have a terrific friend who I dated, we slept together and continued to sleep together even after we stopped dating and years later we're still the best of friends. I was even his woman of honor at his wedding.
You can’t just invite your best friend out to lunch, tell them you slept with their other best friend, and expect not to get details! You’d be mad too lmao.
This was early when George (Jason Alexander) tried to do his Woody Allen schtick. He found his own personality in later seasons. Never liked this version/voice of George's. It wasn't his, it was Woody Allen's.
@@rr8299 Because it is a scene with nothing but dialog, no action whatsoever. The actors barely move. Yet the scene is engrossing and keeps your interest piqued, while also being very funny. Yet if you think about it, all this scene is, is one character delivery plot details to another character. Plot details that the audience already knows, because they literally just watched the details play out in the previous scene. Those kinds of scene tend to be really tedious for the audience and this could easily have gone that way but it didn't, which comes down solely to the writing and the performances.
I like how George stands up in the middle of a restaurant and starts shouting ... and no one else in the restaurant takes notice or seems the least bit annoyed or even distracted.
Normal people like to ignore Crazy in the hopes that if they pretend not to notice, it will go away... try it... just shout out in the middle of a restaurant... people will go through great lengths to ignore you!!
That's not good. George literally killed his fiance and after hearing from the doctor, he pauses with no expression in his face for like five seconds, then shrugs and says "Who's hungry for Chinese" and leaves with Jerry, Kramer and Elaine
@@hugolafhugolaf You are so clueless, the Marine Biologist ending scene is so sophomoric, so juvenile and just not funny at all unless of course you have the sense of humor of 13 year old in middle school. This scene here in The Deal is flawless and nearly perfect if not perfect. Seinfeld in the first 3 seasons was and still is one of the funniest most original and unique TV shows ever. Then starting in season 4 it slowly went down hill and became a typical stupid exaggerated TV sitcom with inane episodes like The Marine Biologist.
Hearing Jerry describe to George how he and Elaines love making was passionate, little does he know season 5 episode 1 will turn his whole world upside down.
Jason Alexander, the best comedic character actor ever..no one delivered comedic lines and stories like he did. He deserved so many awards for this show. Ashame. To this day....these stories are stil funny. This show doesn't age, except for the pay phones lol.
Pay phone, limo, home phones, answering machines, definitely the prices of everything, video rental stores, movie phone, fax machines, Taxi, car services, tape recorder, pre blackberry devices aka the wizard, newspapers, vhs tapes Also I have been watching since the 90s, watched it live, reruns, vhs, dvd, now streaming on Netflix. And no I've never seen the traffic episode , I'm looking forward to it since I've only heard about it.
Jason as George Costanza deserved an Emmy. But an award can't belittle his genius work as this good for nothing, struggling character. The fact that we are still talking to this day about him means he has outshined other illustrious cast members along with Michael Richard's Kosmo Kramer. Two of the funniest characters in television history. Chandler Bing comes the distant third.
I would say thatere are a lot of characters funnier than Chandler bing, Gilligan, Hogan from Hogan's heroes, Barney Fife, Joe, Murray, sal, and Q from impractical jokers, Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, Garfield, Fred Flintstone, the fonze, the main doctor in mash, Optimus prime, Andy dufraine, Rocky, George Bush, Martin Luther King Jr., Aaron Rodgers, weird Al, my accountant, grover Cleveland, FDR, Gru, bing Crosby, bill Cosby, OJ Simpson, Yoda, Bo and Luke Duke, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Obama, Jimmy Kimmel, and of course, Jerry Seinfeld
People keep commenting that this is the greatest sitcom ever and I mostly agree but what really draws me to this show ( draws me back rather), on a subconscious level ( I think) , is the color (?). The print (?), the look (?) The texture (?), idk. But it's very appealing and inviting (?). Lots of parenthesis, I know. But does anyone feel the same about this whole look (?) And how that might lead us to think this is a much better show than it's supposed to be???
"The deal" (or the offer or the fantasy of it) is as real as American pie, men have tried it for centuries, but it has never worked and it never will, so men stop fulling yourselves if you have sex with a woman on several ocassions you have crossed the no-friends line forever on the women's mind.
George Costanza the greatest hero of the show… Neumann comes a close 2nd, then Kramer distant 3rd followed by Jackie Chiles Lawyer and then Mr Bookman + Soup Nasi + Crazy Joe Devola
'Hold it buddy. You are not going anywhere.' That's what my girlfriend said to me the first time as I innocently glanced toward the door by accident. Deal? Are you kidding. This was during the Bush administration and I'm still here.
"That's why I don't have cable in my house. Because of that naked station. If I had that in my house, I would never turn it off. I wouldn't sleep, I wouldn't eat. Eventually, firemen would have to break through the door, they'd find me sitting there in my pajamas with drool coming down my face." - George Constanza
Thanks for the quote. I fell asleep for a nano second and missed that. Can you provide me a list of videos that you have quoted. I’m sure there is some Barney video you have quoted so I would like to see that. Don’t forget : school tomorrow.
Jason Alexander never winning an Emmy is a travesty of TV justice.
hugolafhugolaf , having to play one of the creators of the show, while he watches and critiques you..... on the other hand he got typecast as Constanza and never really got another show/movie after this.
Kruppt808 because he was too damn good as George to break out of his excellent performance as this role
hugolafhugolaf exactly what I was thinking watching this!

@Peter Ferenczy: Oh, dude, say what you want, Jason Alexander was - and there's no better term for it - _"gold, Jerry, gold!"_
"I have to tell ya, I'm very impressed with the first one."
😂😂
Funniest moment in the the land of TV.
"Ah! You got greedy."
"YOU'RE NOT IN THE MOOD! WELL YOU GET IN THE MOOD!"
Same thing I say to the wife
Ye Stars that is kind of the joke!
As an adult, I can safely say, that George is actually 100% right on this one.
At the risk of TMI, I can say every time I’ve tried it, things have gone awry. I’m not so great with the ladies, but it’s tough to pull off.
@@jeffreese8694 I only got my pants on to have a cigarette once and the look I got said everything… he’s right
George is literally always right.
The older and wiser you get the more you realize he was right all along.
Not true at all. I have a terrific friend who I dated, we slept together and continued to sleep together even after we stopped dating and years later we're still the best of friends. I was even his woman of honor at his wedding.
Not at all, friends with benefits are quite common and it works well for many people
"I know less about women....... Than anyone in the world" lool
Gets me every time
@ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn actually it is "it's not a lie, if you believe it"
Best line is: Adios, muchacho said by the soup nazi
that sure improved lol
But he actually knew everything about women!
the best part of this whole scene, is george's "get in the mood" speech
I know it, that was such a douche move on Jerry's part I totally agree with George
mcbc4 personally I like the thousand of years part
You can’t just invite your best friend out to lunch, tell them you slept with their other best friend, and expect not to get details! You’d be mad too lmao.
Pure Gold

This and the "menage à trois" plan for the roommate switch was some of the best dialogue from Seinfeld.
This should be a show,
What
You know this, just talking.
Yah right
No I mean it, a show about nothing!
Everybody doing something , We'll do nothing.
My favorite is George's regret about "not going up for coffee"
I was just noticing that some of the dialogue is similar in the two scenes.
This is a masterclass in dialogue writing.
RonHoward why?-

Yeah, it's pretty good
Well the whole series are based on that actually:). Larry David is a genius.
What makes it a masterclass? Dialogue should resemble natural conversation but you can't get that in a sitcom
"where are you living, are you here are you on this planet?" love that line
I like how George stands up in the middle of a restaurant and starts shouting ... and no one else in the restaurant takes notice or seems the least bit annoyed or even distracted.
you know, they were probably paid!... "by the government?"
Nah that's just New York
Pretty common occurrence. I ain’t letting my coffee get cold because of some shouting guy.
Normal people like to ignore Crazy in the hopes that if they pretend not to notice, it will go away... try it... just shout out in the middle of a restaurant... people will go through great lengths to ignore you!!
You’re like a pathetic gambler.
The older I get, the more I relate to George.
Yup. He's literally a modern Socrates.
That's not good. George literally killed his fiance and after hearing from the doctor, he pauses with no expression in his face for like five seconds, then shrugs and says "Who's hungry for Chinese" and leaves with Jerry, Kramer and Elaine
I relate to him all my life
I really think this is the greatest sitcom scene ever made. It's technically beautiful. Acting, writing, pacing, everything.
The Marine Biologist ending scene is a notch above I think.
@@hugolafhugolaf yea this is the correct answer. That scene was so good
@@hugolafhugolaf yes i was going to write that... 'at that moment..
I was a marine bioloigist'

No woman can resist Jerry’s mullet, tight jeans & stylish tucked in shirts
It is kinda amazing he got with so many beautiful women. But if I was writing my own show, my character would too
never really considered that a mullet. lol
What mullet?
Where's the mullet
Mullet? Think again Mojambo
Lmao...this man is yelling in the diner and everyone is ignoring him...😂😂😂😂
"WHAT TH-- Oh, it's just him again. Anyway what were you saying about vegetables?"
"Yup, it's that table again"
They have to be quiet on set
They’re in New York. I’m pretty sure it’s common for this kind of crazy.
Honestly in the upper west side nobody cares as long as you're not bothering them. The one thing I love about NYC
"where do you get the ego" 😅😅😅
Now you listen to me...
oxygen i need some oxygen! another one of george's classic lines that i use lol
George turns out to be right in the end lol
Yeah but at the moment of his prophecy, I think he's being quite a bit jealous, too
Every man wants the dream, but he knows it's just a dream ( in George voice)
Yep pot on. It’s not possible.
Rarely ever wrong lol
It's amazing how George's sandwich kept changing.
Nice catch!
I did pay some attention and that was a pretty catch. Bet you good with the flaky ladies.
Edwin Dwyer You've ruined the scene for me.
+Edwin Dwyer After watching for 100th time I would notice it too :D
This is a very good detail.
jason needs an emmy based on this scene only
Exactly. It's a shame he never got one
where do you get the ego
I proclaim Jerry gets it the same way George does, but with slightly different annotations.
Best sitcom in the history of sitcoms.
IT Crowd is better
"Any kind of growth really irritates me."
TOO. TRUE.
George is a modern Socrates.
3:46 this is one of the best delivered lines I’ve ever heard
When someone asks me for relationship advice I simply say “I know less about women... than anyone in the world”
Best show of all time.
"Well, YOU GET IN THE MOOD!" My favorite line of the whole series, probably!
One of the great speeches of all time..
"where do you get the ego?" is an amazing question
George is the best character.
I remember being a kid. HATING THIS SHOW. NOW IM 30 ...AND I LOVE IT . What else there? Lol
Frasier might also be up your alley... although it can be very snooty.
...and that kids is the premise which was copied by almost every sitcom to exist after Seinfeld.
It's not copying, it's just a sitcom "cliche" beacuse it's similar to real life.
one of the best dialogues in Seinfeld history
Hearing Jerry describe to George how he and Elaines love making was passionate, little does he know season 5 episode 1 will turn his whole world upside down.
Jason Alexander, the best comedic character actor ever..no one delivered comedic lines and stories like he did. He deserved so many awards for this show. Ashame.
To this day....these stories are stil funny.
This show doesn't age, except for the pay phones lol.
Pay phone, limo, home phones, answering machines, definitely the prices of everything, video rental stores, movie phone, fax machines, Taxi, car services, tape recorder, pre blackberry devices aka the wizard, newspapers, vhs tapes
Also I have been watching since the 90s, watched it live, reruns, vhs, dvd, now streaming on Netflix. And no I've never seen the traffic episode , I'm looking forward to it since I've only heard about it.
Oh George, just wait until the internet is invented.
Well the internet was around at that time... (Y’know using dial up With America Online)
Correction: Wait until the internet gets more advanced!
It's a totally different animal nowadays
The internet was invented by DARPA in 1969
Jason as George Costanza deserved an Emmy. But an award can't belittle his genius work as this good for nothing, struggling character. The fact that we are still talking to this day about him means he has outshined other illustrious cast members along with Michael Richard's Kosmo Kramer. Two of the funniest characters in television history. Chandler Bing comes the distant third.
I'd put at least a couple dozen ahead of Chandler.
I would say thatere are a lot of characters funnier than Chandler bing, Gilligan, Hogan from Hogan's heroes, Barney Fife, Joe, Murray, sal, and Q from impractical jokers, Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, Garfield, Fred Flintstone, the fonze, the main doctor in mash, Optimus prime, Andy dufraine, Rocky, George Bush, Martin Luther King Jr., Aaron Rodgers, weird Al, my accountant, grover Cleveland, FDR, Gru, bing Crosby, bill Cosby, OJ Simpson, Yoda, Bo and Luke Duke, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Obama, Jimmy Kimmel, and of course, Jerry Seinfeld
Matthew Perry stinks. The fact he hasn't worked since Friends proves it
Friends wasn't even in the same league with Seinfeld. Friends was Class D Summer League. Seinfeld was the Majors-the Show.
Boy these are really bad details lol
These Pretzels are making me thirsty!
What a phenomenal actor
You’re not in the mood? Well you GET in the mood! 😂
Jerry and Elaine made a very cute couple and where great best friends loved them!😂😘😍😜
George Costanza is the greatest fictitious character of all time.
Just realized how much “Friends” stole from this show.
EVERYBODY stole from this show. Everybody. But yeah, Friends is the most popular culprit
If you're gonna steal. Steal from the best.
it’s everyone!!
Like what?
This show is to realistic.
Friends is like this dreamy show about dreamy cute people.
Steinfield - is about a bunch of losers and creeps
Seinfeld absolutely acted as a major influence in changing how TV was written.
3:20 to 3:25 ... George's sandwich goes from untoasted to toasted and then back to untoasted
AlrightThen15 It's mold...scene took 100 takes
I absolutely love it when George snorts
The writing and acting in this scene are just pure vintage Seinfeld. Jason is a genius.
This is priceless!
I lost my shit when George whipped out the fry for comparison
I love George's line "Nahhw, that's where you got greedy" in that thick NY accent. The writing and delivery was so funny!!
Funny how Jerry can’t keep a straight face when George pipes up 😂
So you have the sex, the next day you don't have to call...that's pretty good.
Of course he wasn't wrong.
She must have taken a seminar.
Just had gone without a while probably. Better to recycle an old boyfriend than deal with someone new to get laid.
@@AnnaLVajda I agree
"I don't have a JOB! I got NO place to go!"
I love that line so much.
Sigh.. if i could trade my life to be a permanent fly on the wall in a real life seinfeld neverending episode.. yea I would.. pathetic but true
Where you get the ego ? I have to tell you,I am very impressed with the first one hahahahahaha hahahahaha
"Now you listen to me..." ;D
The man means business.
This dialogue sounds so fresh. It doesn't sound old. And when I watch it, it feels like the first time. I laugh in all the same places. 🤔
jason alexander is one of the best actors in life!!!! this was the funniest conversation ever..
"You're not in the mood,well you GET in the mood!" 😂
The reason why George Costanza is so despicable is necessarily because Jason Alexander aces at acting.
George makes details of romantic life seem like war planning meetings of apocalyptic importance.
"Any kind of growth really irritates me" xD
“She must’ve taken some kind of SEMINAR or something!”
Lainie getting even BETTER at sex? Hoochie mama!!

"the naked station" ah, what quaint innocent time
George giving relationship advice to Jerry is gold every time. See also his hilariously terrible plan in "The Switch"
+kallemattilaofficial, How was it a terrible plan when Jerry could've slept with both girls? Jerry is an idiot so he didn't actually do it though.
Newman disliked this video :p
Newman!
Dylan Watson now its Newman, Babu, the Soup Nazi and Mulva (Delores)
Whyda Longface and Howie, the car jacking victim from the finale
Puddy, Mr Pitt
The OG Friends with Benefits.
Who's think this is better than Friends with Benefits movie?
"I have to tell yuh I'm impressed with the first one."
#classicGeorge
That get in mood speech deserves a Emmy. Pure gold.
george's description of how he would be with the naked station is the current state of our world
The original FWB to keep their friendship alive lol
George had a lot more confidence and sass in the early episodes
No - see - ya got greedy.
best and funniest conversation EVER!!!!
"Now you listen to me..."
"You are like a pathetic gambler...you got greedy..."
"The deal" (or the offer or the fantasy of it) is as real as American pie, men have tried it for centuries, but it has never worked and it never will, so men stop fulling yourselves if you have sex with a woman on several ocassions you have crossed the no-friends line forever on the women's mind.
It works really well for same-gender sexual flings. No complications.
0:43 Priceless xD
This episode has some serious emotion. Makes me wish they could be a couple.
For me this Jason Alexander's bit is like Jack Nicholson's "You can't handle the truth" part in A Few Good Men, maybe it's only me...🤔
This well proves why JA was the acting glue that held this show together.
George Costanza the greatest hero of the show… Neumann comes a close 2nd, then Kramer distant 3rd followed by Jackie Chiles Lawyer and then Mr Bookman + Soup Nasi + Crazy Joe Devola
"Now you listen me" LOLOLOL
"well you better get in the mood !!!"
'Hold it buddy. You are not going anywhere.' That's what my girlfriend said to me the first time as I innocently glanced toward the door by accident. Deal? Are you kidding. This was during the Bush administration and I'm still here.
Are you George, and where is your cahones in this?
Are you asking for our help escape!!? call the police!!??
This scene is one of the clearest examples of George being based on Larry David, the Larry energy is seeping out of every pore 😂
The bits, the back and forth dialogue on Seinfeld will never go out of style
The Switch, The Subway and this episode are in my top 5
"Where do you get the EGO" LOL
Imagine how we been with naked station on our hand all the time 😂😂😂
Who else is seeing Tio Salamanca in the background here?

This is probably the best coffee shop scene that Seinfeld ever produced!!!
The sea was angry that day my friends.
2:18 the guy in the back... BOOP
George in this scene reminds me of Alec Baldwin's character in GlenGarry Glenn Ross. Not sure why. Maybe it's the assertive attitude and the accent.
“Any kind of growth really irritates me.”
1:08 George magically eats all the greens
Sweet deal, Jerry. Sweet deal.
3:41 lol, “you got greedy” haha
Oh I hate to hear this. Any kind of growth really irritates me
