Yup, not poor editing, but the cost-cutting edits of reruns these days, needing more time for commercials. Just watched it now, exactly cut up like this missing the part where he has the alarm.
If George had managed to put even the slightest effort he puts into slacking off, into a normal career, he would have been quite the successful businessman I think. He’s quite innovative with some stuff xD
Normal careers don't reward this kind of thinking and behavior. I know because people have said this exact same thing to me and I have no normal career. If you care, the reason why is because we don't follow instruction well and our personalities clash with the normals. Both George and I are great at coming up with things that don't actually have a place in the world to make money with but we can manipulate people somewhat with them. He was a successful hand model though, that's true. But it never lasts.
would have been funnier to find out Jerry didnt actually call in a bomb threat and it was real. "Thanks Jerry for making the call." "Call? I didnt call in a bomb threat, do you think Im stupid enough do that." "But if you didnt..."
I experienced a real Bomb threat in Highschool I was in my last class for the day and The Principals Voice came over the intercom Attention All Teachers and Staff we recieved a Bomb threat Police are on the way and will be searching so please keep the Kids calm and in the Classroom. It turned out to be a prank call by some HighSchool Seniors who just wanted to get out of School early(We didnt find out it was Kids making the call. Police traced the phone number and saw it belonged to a payphone out side the Cafeteria (The Cafeteria was used for StudyHall after lunch). I bet those kids aren't laughing now if they got charged for making that call I know this happend in spring of 1993 too bad it wasnt on RU-vid back then that is if there had been a RU-vid im guessing it would have gone viral
+Anime no but see no matter how often George gets caught messing up or doing something he shouldn't he somehow always gets rewarded for it. Plus he doesn't even do anything anyway.
***** It worked out GREAT! Instead of constantly leaving the office to get away from some of my annoying co-workers or falling asleep in the empty and uncomfortable stairwell, I was able to remain in the office and avoid everyone for a brief period by setting up shop underneath one of the tables in our makeshift storage room. There were so many boxes in there that blocked the view of my hiding spot. I nicknamed my hiding spot "The Rabbit hole". When I told a friend about that, she laughed and told me about this episode of Seinfeld and sent me the link to the video. That rabbit hole was great, Lol. It allowed me to take some sweet naps at work without the fear of being detected.
My grandmother had over a hundred grand and great and great great grandchildren. It would have been a small miracle if she could have remembered them all.
And after that, Mr. Steinbrenner in his office said that George knew about the bomb threat before anybody else due to the fact that he was hidden under the desk, lmao. Awesome episode!
@@yellowblanka6058 the joke was that Steinbrenner is out of touch with things. He doesn’t know what the name of the song was, he doesn’t know the names of his grandkids, and he doesn’t know that the Cold War guideline of hiding under your desk during the threat of a nuclear bomb doesn’t do shit.
@@chronicillz1879 If you never watched interviews with Larry David/Curb Your Enthusiasm you wouldn't know that it's his voice. He has a very distinctive voice. He also plays "Sigmund" in that one episode where Jerry is trying to remember a joke he wrote down in a semi-awake state.
Gotta say, George really caught something with this one. I took a nap under my desk the other day, best damn nap I ever took. All the sweet satisfaction of a good nap, with all the smug satisfaction of having gotten away with it :)
Jesus Morales One time I fell asleep 6 to 7 hours at work During the summer it’s very quiet and nobody’s around and I work night shift so no boss around
He actually commented on one of these RU-vid videos talking about how it was a great experience and how Jason Alexander was so nice to him. I'll post the link if I can find it.
Rewatching these Seinfeld clips. The writing on this show was unbelievable good. How on earth do you even come up with this premise? Seriously. It amazes me a show like this compared a show like 'Two and a half men'.
Actually George's antics normally come from Larry David's younger life, Larry actually did sleep under his desk, and Kramer was based off Larry's IRL neighbor Kenny
Anime Alumni It takes a good mind to write about that sort of stuff. I'm sure Larry David wasn't the first grown man to sleep under his desk, but he was the first who remembered doing it well enough or fondly enough to write an episode of television about it. And not only that, exaggerate it hilariously by constructing a super desk.
@@m.e.d.7997 I don't think he ever got over it. I listened to an interview with him and howerd stern I think (or alex baldwin) ...he was really fucked-off. lol.
When I worked retail, we'd lock a guy in the store overnight occasionally to strip and rewax the floors. We came in 1/2 hour early one morning and found a quilt under one of the racks. With an alarm clock nearby.
Lmao when i used to work at the avenue kinda like an outside mall as security. I was cool with the maintaince guys there. We had a bed in the shop an had it hid this big pile of metal rods with with old drapes and other equipments surrounding it making it a room. Those who slept there would had to provide there own sheets, cover and pillows. I mainly worked from 3pm to 7am most days lol let me tell you 10pm mall closes a go get saddled up an sleep in good till 5am. One time i over slept till 630. The property manager came in there looking for maintaince i didn't make a sound just laid there lol she was complaining all this useless junk in here lmao.
a bunch of kids, and a freaking dog! makes me gasp, or spit my coffee, every time. and George is so relatable to me, since i also do some sneaky stuff at work (altough i do balance it by actually doing my job)
My job is like this. No one know what my position is, either do I. I was hired, then forgotten about. No training, nothing. I play on Google all day. I have my own space and have done nothing for the company in 3 years. Nothing. LOL.
You cut off one of my favorite Kramer lines- ELAINE: Hey, Kramer, listen, you've seen the Omen right? ELAINE: What exactly was that kid? KRAMER: Who, Damien? Nothing, just a mischievous, rambunctious kid.
Love how he says it's been his dream to work for the New York Yankees when he's initially applying for the job, then he jeopardizes all that by sleeping under his desk, lol.
The sheer magic/genius of Seinfeld was creating one-time characters (or characters that had 3 or 4 appearances tops) that you remembered forever. Sue Ellen Mischke. That carpenter with no opinion. Elaine's commie boyfriend. Mr. Bookman. The Soup Nazi. Hell, some of these people are still remembered just for that one appearance 20-25 years later.
The soup nazi is a brand now off of that one time on the show. He's been on several things doing this character. I think he was even on in a SB commercial.
I am George Costanzia, the man that says, "Beat it, Brian." I was 37. Jerry Seinfeld is one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met. He gave me advice on how to say “Just call!” to him. It was a fun experience.
Steinbrenner is an old man here, so it’s likely he comes from the era when they taught people to hide under your desk as a response to an incoming nuclear attack. Which is of course an outdated concept, and just like he can’t remember who sang that “heartbreaker” song and can’t remember his grandkids names, fits in line with him being outdated/out of touch/old. So when he hears that there’s been a bomb threat, he relents back to his old training and goes right to hiding under the desk lmao!
Back in the mid 1980s I was working the late afternoon shift as a Heavy Equipment Operator as an apprentice! I was 19 years old.. It involved a 70 year old guy 6 months from retiring & myself. We would eat dinner at 9pm he would open his fresh 5th. Of Canadian Whisky & have two big glasses & fall asleep... At 7am his alarm would go off & he would punch out at the time clock.. After a month of this routine I decided to meet my friends at the bar by 10pm & stay out for the entire night & morning until 6am.. Take my bar clothes off & get back into my coveralls & finish up my shift by moving the Excavators , Bulldozers, Front End Loaders ectectra back in the yard.. Punch the time clock at 7am & go home... It was the best 6 months of my life..
At least he has the decency to hide. I worked for the Paks department and people just slept right there on their desks after lunch in full view of management. Sometimes they even had sex. Gay sex.
