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.
hugolafhugolaf exactly what I was thinking watching this!

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.
@@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.
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
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 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
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.
Jerry mentioned Geen Lantern once- Elaine said she didn't like jewelry on men. And Marvel..they had a debate on whether Iron Man was naked under his suit. And George once referenced Human Torch "FLAME ON!".
"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
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???
'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.
