I think there were more than just 4 or 5 episodes where the writing was Perfection! It's hard to find an episode that isn't funny as hell and written to almost perfection in Seinfeld frfr
@@docholliday3769 well the one where Elaine dates this unstable person who dresses up as a clown was pretty poor. Or the one with the hair dresser soap opera stuff.
@@guiagaston7273what hairdresser soap opera episode are u talkin about? The barber? Or the wig master? Cuz yeah I admit the wig master one was a lil weird, but it was still funny to see Kramer dressed up as a pimp. And the opera one isnt one of my favorites but George and Kramer scalping tickets was hilarious! The point is even if it isnt one of their better episodes its still got funny parts with these characters. That's what makes this show so good. They did 180 episodes. Of course there's gonna be some episodes that aren't as good or as funny as other episodes. But I guarantee every episode will make ppl laugh and it is a great show as a whole. It seems like ur just tryin to hate and be negative and pick apart a great show over a couple episodes that weren't to ur liking
It gave me the same feeling limitless did the way the underdog climbed to the top from being worse inside and out than the average person. There's a simple solution to everything.
I mean if things keep happening and the end results are always the same, assuming you don't like it, then the only way to stop it is to do the opposite.
VIMaggotVIBrainzVI Christ the Monks rant alone. He did everything opposite of how his character acts, yet remained George L. Costanza appropriately. And that still wasn't good enough for the critic's. Jason Alexander knows he deserved something from this show and I think he's comfortable with knowing his worth to this brilliant episode. Kudos to him, and shame on the people who we entrust to do our honouring.
@@goldenstatewarriors4011 in the episode of him being hired they had not won 96 yet as George tells him that this was the worst run organization he’s ever seen basically. You don’t say that about a team fresh off a chip
i've never watched too much seinfeld; only seen a few episodes here and there. What happens with this job? does he really get it, or does it end back at the status quo, with george being... well... george?
That whole rant is based on a tirade that was secretly taped of Buddy Rich yelling at his band on a tour bus. You can find the rant on TH-cam where the line, "I'll show you what it's like" is used.
"I used to sit here, and do nothing, and regret it for the rest of the day. So now, I will do the opposite, and do something." That's actually good advice. When I beat depression, this is basically what I did, and I'm a lot happier from it, and am getting more opportunities. :) Seinfeld rarely teaches anything to live by, but when the show does, it's actually applicable.
I grew up watching Seinfeld with my parents. I own every season on DVD and watch it when I'm feeling low. There's some kind of odd, almost ridiculous lesson in nearly every episode, and thats what makes it fun. "A show about nothing?" More like, "A show about everything".
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth *the Lord Jesus* , and shalt *BELIEVE* in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be *saved* . For *God* so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten *Son* , that whosoever *BELIEVEth* in him shall not perish, but have everlasting *LIFE* . [romans 10: 9, John3: 16]
The reason this works so well for George isn’t because he’s ignoring common sense, he has always let the worst of his character traits take control over his actions. He had convinced himself that those traits were his common sense so what he thinks is being the opposite is actually just him finally taking some control over his life. Additionally he starts saying what he thinks, not brown nosing, not being a yes man, he takes initiative and is confident in his decision making; he doesn’t take the time to psych himself out of it. Fantastic writing and acting. The structure for this episode, the jokes, the scenarios are just amazing.
"Here is a rule of thumb, find out what the great majority is doing, and If you do the opposite you may never make another mistake in your life". - Earl Nightingale
In reality Steinbrenner was really attracted to the rebel. Hired & fired Billy Martin five times. (Yankee fans know exact #)Makes sense since one usually hires straight arrows.
"This has been the dream of my life ever since I was a child, and it's all happening because I'm completely ignoring every urge towards common sense and good judgment I've ever had." This line has me rolling every time 🤣
I remember see this when I was younger and thinking 'NO WAY would he get a woman saying "My name is George, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents"' like many commenters here are saying. But now I get it. She respected his brazen honesty. He had the balls to approach her, even though he had nothing going for him and didn't try to hid this fact. If had lied or danced around the topic and tried to sugercoat it she wouldn't have been interested. It probably set him apart from all the other lying jerks she dated. Also some women love mysterious men, "Who ARE you George Costanza." (And his answer "I'm the complete opposite of every man you've ever dated.") And she was also in a position to help him and got him a job. I know not all women are like this, but the more you think about it it actually is somewhat believable.
@@alanmalcheski8882 they kinda just forgot about her after that episode. Really the only thing they kept on the show long term was the job with the yankees. Cant have George’s luck go up to much.
@@vince864 Oh yeah I know. I mostly meant from this episode. If George kept up with his theory and all the good things that have happened it woudnt have been George. I was pretty much just saying this episode was a cool concept and the catalyst of the next George arc.
Everyone should take at least a yearly “Opposite Day”. Not the SpongeBob type but the George kind. I tried it once and it was awesome. Really helps to get your head out of your own ass. I probably do it every couple of months now. Whatever your first instinct is, do the opposite. Your first instinct, btw, is not the same as “the first thing that pops into your head”. Your first instinct is that default behavior that makes you feel the most safe and comfortable. Like if you meet someone, your first thought is to say hello, but your first instinct is how you go about doing it - the usual comfortable way.
That's really a great idea, and I really think I'm gonna go ahead and try to have an opposite day. But I would like to know why you said "your first thought", and the first time you said “the first thing that pops into your head”, and I find that is more about reflexes, maybe social reflexes than it is about thoughts. When you see a person it is a reflex to say hello, not really a thought. Would you care to explain your nuances? I am really not nitpicking it's just that your comment gave me a lot to think about and I would like to better understand what you meant.

Seinfeld was so great, that it's impossible to make a top 5. there can literally be 60 episodes that were so great, that they can easily be in the top 5. that's how good this show was. But this episode is indeed one of the best of all time.
Just watching these clips makes u realize why this is the greatest show ever made. and no other show will ever come close again. The writing was UNREAL. GENIUS stuff. And funny funny funny. Thank you, seinfeld for all the great laughs and memories.
Just seeing how often these clips are in the recommended shows how much a few groups monopolize the entertainment industry with the same stuff over and over again.
"My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents" is one of my favorite George lines. Another is "I've been lying to you for three days and now you're all screwing me!". There are many great George lines.
That last scene with Steinbrenner was funny on a comedic level but really also a good example of brilliant leadership skills. True leaders want people who can provide open and honest criticism. Not just be surrounded by "yes" men.
They will never be a show like this, ever. Classic, intelligent, very very funny, this show puts me in a good mood no matter what I'm going through, I get to watch it, well more like listen to it every day when am at work, my boss is always like what are u laughing at, lol I've even used some of the lines on some younger dumb chicks that don't know nothing about Seinfeld, it worked, got a few dates etc
Each generation has their hit show. the 70s had MASH. the 90s had Seinfeld and the 2010s has It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. All three extremely amazing and hilarious shows.
@DaWanderer while Always Sunny seems to have a cult fanbase I wouldn't say you could compare its success to the level of Seinfeld or Mash or All in the family, Cheers etc. Those shows were mega hits at their time, in the top of the heap of ratings wise and everybody knew them. I don't have any friends that's even heard of Always sunny in philadelphia
Psycho3418 nope.. You're thinking you should take George's advice.. But if you really took George's advice it would be to do the opposite of what you think.. That means you should Like the video
This is actually really amazing self analysis. Most people would never be this self involved to notice how much is missing in what they want from their life without help. I love Seinfeld. Been watching for over 25 years.
With all the comedic genius here, there is one thing very dark about Seinfeld that I hadn't at first realized; there is no true friendship, no real compassion at all. All the main characters check several boxes in the sociopath category.
actually Elaine seems to me most sociopathic In fact I would not be surprised if Julia would be one, of course with a very high IQ, but still. Remember they are among us and advertise too much what they are. I like hey,,,, but somehow Elaine too often strikes me as having no real empathy and very good at faking social fluency. Jesus, what a trip
The message behind this particular episode is symbolic and can genuinely be used in the real world... Do the things you hate and that make you feel uncomfortable, because those same things get you where you want to go... As seen here with George. I know it’s just a TV show but it’s so accurate.
One thing I love about Seinfeld, is the relationships between the four. Without Jerry, the relationships are strange. This is an integral part of the premise of the show. My wife and I just completed the entire series. We bought the DVD set, and it took about a year and a half. SO SAD. But now, we can start at the beginning again!
Shut your traps and stop kicking the seats! We're tryin' to watch the movie. And if I have to tell you again, we're gonna take it outside and I'm gonna show ya what it's like. You understand me?! Now shut your mouths, or I’ll shut ‘em for ya, and if you think I’m kidding? Just try me, TRY ME, because I would LOVE IT!!!
This was about the time when people started talking about Seinfeld and repeating the lines and jokes at school. And people would walk into a room when the show was on and they'd stop in their tracks and stop paying attention to other people and couldn't help but start watching it even though they were doing other stuff and then when a commercial came on you'd suddenly look around and notice that everyone was just as thrilled and excited as you were. It was something you couldn't help but be amazed at and couldn't wait to see what happens next. It made all other shows seem like trash in comparison.
The fake job and the time K and Jerry switch apartment is funny, but then I think everything in Seinfeld is funny except the Chinese Restaurant show. I did not care for that one. They made a 5 minute sketch into an entire episode. I wanted more and felt I was short-changed.
It would take balls the size of watermelons to be in George's situation at the diner and approach a woman like that. I could never do that even on my best day.
I don't know if Larry David wrote this story or if it came from his own life (I don't think he was writing for Seinfeld at this time) but I can totally imagine him doing this,
My name is George, i'm unemployed and i live with my parents
Are you serious? How disrespectful can you be? You should be ASHAMED! ASHAMED! Little roach-boy...

IntheInternet Wetrust nah I have lost interest in real life, like George said, my dream is to become hopeless, it feels good to give up,
love how George's new attitude also means turning up to a promising job interview dressed in a t-shirt and old rain jacket.
That's because you followed your instincts by making a Seinfeld reference during your job interview.

True
Or the fact that george is not a good person. He's timid, a coward etc etc. Naturally if he stops behaving that way, there will be an improvement.

This episode is oddly inspiring because it contains a kernel truth. A difference in mindset can go a long way.

Yes and what happened to Victoria? She was hot
George Steinbrenner giving him the ok to work for the Yankees was the pinnacle of George's momentum.

kendall rivers good point.
@DaWanderer of course not saying its not a success in its own way its been on forever but you know what I mean lol tv is very different these days
Don't forget the one that started the modern ensemble comedy: The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
If there is Oscar for television, George should get lifetime achievement
There is. The emmys
If I take George's advise should I dislike this video?
this means everyone that liked , is actually hating ...
this is such a shitty comment. I gave it a thumbs up.
it is, so thumbs down for you
advice
Psycho3418 nope.. You're thinking you should take George's advice.. But if you really took George's advice it would be to do the opposite of what you think.. That means you should Like the video
This is actually really amazing self analysis. Most people would never be this self involved to notice how much is missing in what they want from their life without help. I love Seinfeld. Been watching for over 25 years.
Mr. Krupp?
That "I'm Victoria. Hi!" part is soo god damn hot ....
Also, that rant at the end always makes me laugh.
I LOVE this episode.
Setting up an expectation with the audience, then describing how the opposite unfolds is one of the fundamentals of comedy.
Nothings ever worked for me with tuna on toast
One of the best scenes from Seinfeld.
With all the comedic genius here, there is one thing very dark about Seinfeld that I hadn't at first realized; there is no true friendship, no real compassion at all. All the main characters check several boxes in the sociopath category.
That was one of Larry's rules of the show. Forget the exact phrasing but he didn't want any touching moments or character development.
actually Elaine seems to me most sociopathic
In fact I would not be surprised if Julia would be one, of course with a very high IQ, but still. Remember they are among us and advertise too much what they are.
I like hey,,,, but somehow Elaine too often strikes me as having no real empathy and very good at faking social fluency. Jesus, what a trip
@@professortriplextralarge5 Kramer is probably the counter balance to her...he seems loyal and at times semi-caring
one of the best episodes. love it.
The message behind this particular episode is symbolic and can genuinely be used in the real world...
Do the things you hate and that make you feel uncomfortable, because those same things get you where you want to go... As seen here with George.
I know it’s just a TV show but it’s so accurate.
Dee Dee Pfeiffer. She was such an adorable air head in Vamp.
And that day this show became legend.!!
Hire this man at the end was hilarious. I thought the plot twist was gonna be that his luck finally runs out, but he is unstoppable.
One thing I love about Seinfeld, is the relationships between the four. Without Jerry, the relationships are strange. This is an integral part of the premise of the show. My wife and I just completed the entire series. We bought the DVD set, and it took about a year and a half. SO SAD. But now, we can start at the beginning again!
Haha I love George! Seinfeld is the Best show ever hands down!!!
Why did I live my whole life without seeing this episode?! Now I’m following George
Hire this man!
Look at Elaine! so adorable!!
Hilarious... specially how Jerry explained the difference between the Tuna and Salmon ... we can all relate to these on screen characters in some ways
dedee pfeiffee, michelle pfeiffer's sister.
both sis are gorgeous
I'm so stoked Seinfeld is coming to Netflix in October
Shut your traps and stop kicking the seats! We're tryin' to watch the movie. And if I have to tell you again, we're gonna take it outside and I'm gonna show ya what it's like. You understand me?!
Now shut your mouths, or I’ll shut ‘em for ya, and if you think I’m kidding? Just try me, TRY ME, because I would LOVE IT!!!
Good old Buddy RIch
Just try me, because I would love it!
Just like his dad: "YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?!?!? YOU GOT IT!!!!"
And everybody clapped.
i scrolled down as he was saying this lol man good one
This was about the time when people started talking about Seinfeld and repeating the lines and jokes at school. And people would walk into a room when the show was on and they'd stop in their tracks and stop paying attention to other people and couldn't help but start watching it even though they were doing other stuff and then when a commercial came on you'd suddenly look around and notice that everyone was just as thrilled and excited as you were. It was something you couldn't help but be amazed at and couldn't wait to see what happens next. It made all other shows seem like trash in comparison.
But trash you could eat , as it's just floating at the top
I didn't read the whole comment because these pretzels are making me thirsty
Fabulous! One of the best comedies ever!
I love this episode. It's very enjoyable and also filled with profound truth.
the cup of tea lol
I'd love to see opposite Kramer. I guess the one where he fakes a real job is the closest.
In the episode the bizarro Jerry you actually have an opposite Kramer 😂
He brings by the groceries and comes inside the apartment very carefully
Ricolaus Oh yeah yeah, Elaine joins their group.
Kramer is always going in different directions. Opposite would be too obvious for him
The fake job and the time K and Jerry switch apartment is funny, but then I think everything in Seinfeld is funny except the Chinese Restaurant show. I did not care for that one. They made a 5 minute sketch into an entire episode. I wanted more and felt I was short-changed.
George is the inner voice we all have but most have the good sense to ignore.
Best episode ever!! Perfection! Brilliant & hilarious!
"My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents."
"Hi I'm Victoria (sexy smile)."
LMFAO that was incredible
I can't help but smile to see george succeed.
I swear this show is nothing but a masterpiece. Oh, how I miss it!
A Life-Changing
Skit for So Many
It would take balls the size of watermelons to be in George's situation at the diner and approach a woman like that. I could never do that even on my best day.
I could.
and that's exactly why it worked
Jesus loves you
I knew a guy when I was in the Navy, who would walk into a bar, stick his finger up a girls nose and end up leaving with her.
@@JENDALL714 🤣
purest mantra for every hardworking man who has ever existed
Utubie regulates me comments. F uu suckas
One of best episodes in the sitcom history!!!
I love this ep :)
I don't know if Larry David wrote this story or if it came from his own life (I don't think he was writing for Seinfeld at this time) but I can totally imagine him doing this,
His last season was season 7 so he definitely influenced this episode
@cola00000 yes I think it was Bob Sacamoto
I always know when someone is uncomfortable at a party 😂
Epic clips but the full reel paid true respect. Gold I tell ya! Gold! 🍻🇺🇸
Hire this man! :D
