Master of His Domain: Best of George Costanza 

He didn't? That's a travesty for sure. George's animated neuroses by far was the biggest draw for me tho' I love all 4 of the main, George was just in a class of his own.

He didn't win an Emmy because he was always going up against Michael Richards as Kramer and David Hyde Pierce as Niles Crane. Tough competition and they both shared the bulk of the Emmy's leaving Jason out. Funny how I admire and respect both Michael and Hyde Pierce, but George is the best character of all three. By far.

Eric van Bezooijen Do you mean to say that Julia Louis-Dreyfus won an Emmy, but Jason Alexander did not???! Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a below average B grade actor, for god's sake!

"below average B grade actor"!?! You obviously have not seen her work on HBO's VEEP. She has deservedly won three consecutive Emmy's for her amazing portrayal on that show. A very difficult balancing act of a role that she has full blown massacred with her talent. I don't believe any other actress of her or this generation could pull off such a range of emotions and still have the timing to make that character absolutely hysterical. Flawless performance. She's quite possibly in the top three of female television comedienne's, of all time.

Eric van Bezooijen that's true, george was brilliant

7:30 "I'm not gay! My name's Buck Naked, I'm a porno actor."

true story, most important thing in life is to be free and independent

WORLDS WILL COLLIDE!!

The Emmys committee needs to hear these words

*heels, not heals

No one actor/character was the anchor. Everyone were important.

No. Seinfeld plots were clearly George-centered

I agree. I was 12 when the show ended, but I always watched it with my parents. Kramer was my favorite because of how goofy he was and all of his physical comedy. But when I got the DVD set as an adult around 2005, George instantly became my favorite. I didn’t appreciate/understand the humor as a kid I guess. But he is the best character on the show IMO. Unbelievably funny and still holds up 21+ years later

It wasn't written though. The whole scene was improvised after they didn't like the original ending.

"Like an old man trying to send back soup to a deli..." Hahaha

"Is anyone a Marine Biologist?".....that "OOOH 'F' No!" LOOK on George's face!

My understanding is that Larry and Jerry were up late writing that monologue the night before, Jason Alexander memorized it that day and nailed it first go.

@John England-Marine Biologist is my FAVORITE episode!!!😎😊

His Broadway performance totally shined in that episode

+Richard Davis no not really. its only costanza and kramer. elaine was decent but jerry is just boring

+MrJJtheboss yes...yor are right ...jerry is 0

what...WRONG dont be SAWFT

+MrJJtheboss Jerry (the character) isn't "boring", that's ridiculous. He was the main character of (arguably) the funniest show ever. Just because the supporting characters were also funny (or even funnier) doesn't make him "un"-funny. Granted, among the four primary characters his was the most "normal", i.e. closest to being a normal person. But you can be the "normal" one (in a group) and still be funny.

jerry is "boring" because he is the only "normal" character. that contrast is key to make George and Kramer so much funnier

Aren't you D.B.Cooper?

My favorite episode

Yes that was a great George episode

I don’t know, The Marine Biologist was my favorite, but he excelled all over the place.

yeah because of that episode he got a job at the New York Yankees.

Holy shit that's a great idea

+andan04 You're like the lemonade-master! Take me under your wing..

+andan04 The mere thought of George Costanza giving some one a healthier outlook on anything boggles the mind..

+andan04 Always the funny part of the life is better.

+andan04 Did you ever stop to think that you might be the annoying party ? Food for thought.

"It's not a lie, if you believe it." ----- George Costanza, a.k.a. Brian Stelter with CNN .

ifnu dont believe

This is the exact quote I was thinking about.

My favorite Georgeline adn itis TRUE: Hey! You're not going to fnd anything better than Ring Dings and Pepsi!!!!

YOU’RE KILLING HIM!!!

His voice made Duckman a great animated serie....nobody could do it better

GEORGE IS GETTIN' UPSET!!!! ;)

He is vocally virtuoso

Agree about his dramatic shouting voice.

No way...shut up

Probably the one thing he got right in his life.

+Louis Delmonte ;)

It is pure live studio audience laugh

​@@superlex611 No it is not. Canned laughter was used to blend different takes of real laughter. If it was pure studio laughs the audio would be very jarring with harsh cuts between different takes that were edited together

Al Bundy You and your boy Trump!!!

Agreed.

He's won 3 SAG awards

Really. Michael Richards was great as Kramer, but George was the whole show, if he were to have not been included then the show would never have been close to as funny as it was.

I agree. While Michael Richard's Kramer is a one in a million character, George was a far more interesting character and had far more impactful story arcs.

Post Seinfeld, Kramer never worked on other worthwhile projects while Jason Alexander has.

Yes. Yes, I am.

ThatsNotGravy I think you're thinking of when Gary, the guy who faked having cancer, said he's living a lie, then George says, "just one? I'm living like 20."

+Lydia D C The Sea Was Angry my Friends

Unknown Entity LOL !!

+Lydia D C where could I be?

Early on Jason Alexander was doing a Woody Allen impression but changed when he realized he was actually playing Larry David.

I remember watching this episode with my mom back in the 90's. We were laughing so hard with tears coming out of our eyes and my poor dad just couldn't understand what was so funny.

"Like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli"

Best Seinfeld scene ever was George telling that story. ;);)';)

Jason Alexander revealed that the monologue at the end was not in the original script; the writers were not happy with the episode and while filming it they decided to add a little story from George about the golf ball, and they asked Jason how long he would need to memorize a few pages more if they went and quickly wrote something for him. Jason said he'd need ten minutes, and then he did the speech about the whale, and the studio audience and crew went nuts laughing.

Unlike Hillary.

#ConstanzaForPresident2020

John Canary Hillary isn't male. What's Trump's excuse?

Hillary is a criminal who belongs in jail. With obama and her loser husband.

John Canary Got a crime you can name?

AGREED!!!!

The best, Jerry. The best

He ejaculated there.

"Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli"

+Tom-Tom Schatz i really love how he shakes that basketball while saying worlds are colliding

Even better at the end when Susan hates em and says theyre boring

same here.

"Sorry Allison I must of got your machine at home, I guess I should of tried you at your office. Well see ya! Really looking forward to the ball!" Hahaha

His face after "Where could I beeee '??" always cracks me up !!

@@goncalodvd 😂 Right?

Here here have some tic tacs

Justin Sane omg so true....

Yeah - that was funny

John Berg That little hip wiggle just sells it

You're wrong. He's very likeable.

@@jennafox8556 It's time for you to learn what 'ostensibly' means.

like an old man, trying to send back soup in a deli

The most insane of us kicking against the insanity around us.

Ana Laitinen: George's "ITALIAN accent"??

Yes!!! Is there anything that will be considered a close second ...or second best ?

It depends on wether you are a fan... or not

***** Seinfeld is my all time favorite show! George and Krammer are equally iconic television characters. But, when you take in, not only the character in the show, but how groundbreaking and the impact that character had on society, that conversation begins and ends (in my opinion) with Archie Bunker. :-)

jesus had nothing to do with it

Iconic Infidel You are right, it was festivus

I wish the Yankees really DID hire George Constanza--he'd probably have taken them down from the inside, and they wouldn't have won squat from the mid-90's on. ;)
