The Best of Frank Costanza 

Jerry Stiller is one of the most underrated actors. Him in Seinfeld & King of Queens is nothing short of comedy gold.

They missed my favorite frank line "Jerry, it's frank costanza, George is dead! Call me back, bye."

I love how George seems like this impossibly neurotic character at first, like, you think to yourself that there's no way a person could be this anxious in real life... And then you're introduced to his parents and George's character makes perfect sense.

"As I rained blows upon him" is one of the best lines in TV history.

Frank's screaming is absolutely hilarious.

"SO LET HIM HAVE BANANAS ON THE SIDE!!!" that line still cracks me up

I love how Frank has a day set aside in which he let's everybody know how they've dissappointed him, as though he doesn't already do that every day.

“this guy………. this is not my kinda guy” is so perfectly delivered. frank will always be my favorite character

Estelle Harris played his wife...these two were the PITCH PERFECT actors to play George's parents!!!!

"As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way!"

I don't think I've ever seen such flawless casting elsewhere. Jerry Stiller and Estelle Harris were borh PERFECT as George's parents. They pulled off the old bitter married couple so well! Hard to believe that they had other partners in real life. The fact that they both physically resembled George was just the icing on the cake.

"So you're moving there out of spite?" "Absolutely!"

I love that George is theoretically dead and all Frank cares about is the way Steinbrenner is running the Yankees.

i love how everything to do with frank is an escalation hes so funny

His voice on the phone made me laugh when he calls Jerrys dad. "This. Is. Frank. Costanza." 😆

Jason Alexander came up with the idea of Frank smacking George's forehead. At first Jerry Stiller didn't want to do it, but when he finally agreed to do it, it was pure comedic gold!

No other actor could have played this character better than Jerry Stiller! Uncle Leo was quite a character as well.

An old friend of mine told me she shared an elevator with Jerry Stiller in a hospital - he goes there and brings pizza to people to cheer them up out of the kindness of his own heart.

The actress that played Frank Costanza‘s wife, Estelle Harris, passed away yesterday April 2, 2022 at the age of 93! Rest in peace Estelle now you are once again with Jerry Stiller! ❤️❤️❤️

I just adore Jerry Stiller's delivery. He might have the funniest delivery of any comedic actor. The way he fumbles his lines, like he legit forgets the lines as he reads 'em, is hilarious. His mannerisms, his screaming, his accent... he's all over the place. His personality explains so well why George's turned out the way he has. Stiller was genuinely born to play this role.

one of the funniest characters in tv history

ben stiller is funny but his father is a freakin genius

The way he delivers the "I stopped short" bit always cracks me up.

Frank was the best character on the show. The sudden yelling gets me every time. "DE - LIVER IT TO..HER!". It can't be explained, and I think that's why I love it.

"SERENITY NOW!!!! You're supposed to yell it? "The man on the tape wasnt specific..."

Don't forget Estelle, she was brilliant, and togther with Frank made the greatest married couple in comedy history. IMHO.

R.I.P. JERRY STILLER. A TRUE COMEDIC GENIUS FOR ALL THE AGES

Frank Costanza may be the greatest character ever in sitcom history. Simply brilliant. RIP Mr. Stiller.

Stiller did a great job at Frank Costanza. I don't think anyone else could have come close as George's father. I saw an interview with him saying the character was supposed to be meek and quiet, but he broke character one day, started yelling, and the rest is hilarious history.

Frank Costanza is one of the greatest television characters EVER!!

Frank and Estelle were two of the best characters I can think of on tv. This whole cast is great but they were wonderful.

RIP Jerry Stiller. Frank Constanza will live forever.

" They do not want us there So we're going"

0:39 Fucking LOVE Estelle’s furious “I HAVE NO EYE FOR FASHION?!?!” 😂😂😂 Looks like she would just absolutely slaughter Frank for accusing her of that! 😂😂😂😂

His delivery is unmatched

JERRY STILLER WILL BE 90 HIS NEXT BIRTHDAY.GOD BLESS THIS FUNNY MAN.

"This guy...this is not my kinda guy"

Morty: "Helllo?" Frank: "This...is Frank COStanza" Morty: "What do ya want?!?!" Frank: "You think ya can keep us out of Florida?! We're moving in lock stock & barrel. We're gonna be in the poooool, we're gonna be in the club house, we're gonna be all OVER that scuffle board court!!! And I dare you to KEEP ME OUT!"

Hope you found eternal “Serenity now” in heaven Jerry Stiller.

One thing I dislike about Seinfeld is that Frank didn't get enough screentime. He was the funniest character on the show.

Thinks his son is dead, asks about a shitty baseball trade. This is just one of the many reasons why Frank Costanza is the greatest character in Seinfeld.

Frank Costanza was truly one of a kind. We will never see the likes of him again and we are the lesser for it.

when Frank slaps George in the forehead... that has to be the most hilarious! lol

Would you believe when I was 18 I had a sssssssssilver dollar collection? lol

love how george is the voice of reason with his parents

My love for this show runs very deep. I will never tire if it, it makes me laugh over and over again.

"We're gonna be in the pool.....we're gonna be in the CLUBhouse...." so funny the way he closes his eyes with the joy of serving up his spite.

"I wasn't born in this country. Thats why I can never be president... THEY DONT WANT ME I DONT WANT THEM!!"

Jerry Stiller is quite possibly the funniest person who ever lived. I've seen all of these scenes dozens and dozens of times but I still die laughing every time.

Any episode with Frank and Estelle is pure gold!!

1:14 I love how Estelle is increasingly frightened and how she starts to cringe when Frank goes beserk. Stillers ability to go from 0 to 10 on the angrily/frustration scale (over nothing!) in a second is amazing. The entire Costanza family fits so well together and all of them complement eachother in an incredible way. Such an epic sitcom (about nothing!).

Missed my favourite: "I am like the Phoenix! Rising from Arizona!"

You cut out the punch-line of the first-clip where the man says "They're all chickens, the rooster has sex with them all" to which Frank replies "that's perverse!"

This guy is absolutely hilarious. I always became a little more interested when his character would appear on the show. Comedic genius.

YOU'RE NOT GIVING AWAY OUR WATERPIK!

He is worth his weight in gold. You can tell he's just a naturally funny guy. Awesome contribution to the world.

5:06 DE-LIV-ER-IT-TO The way he delivers that line gets me every time.

"Two months ago, I saw a provocative movie on cable TV. It was called The Net, with that girl from the bus."

... As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

"I could drop you like a bag of dirt." Elaine's stare; classic.

RIP Jerry Stiller! You left us TONS of entertainment!

Frank is so popular because every father has their Frank Costanza moments!

I've been working out with a dumbbell...I feel vigorous!

Your son is dead... Frank: What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for!?! XD

"you couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a babe...I lost my train of thought" lol, classic

To me Frank is by far the funniest character on the show

his hand gestures make it perfect

It's Festivus for the rest of us!

Why’d you put the bananas in there? George likes the bananas! SO LET HIM HAVE BANANAS ON THE SIDE!

This man was incredible. Puts a smile on my face everytime, picks me up when im down.

This character/performance was absolutely perfect.

It must be so freeing to not give a damn and talk in pure emotion (shouting) No repressed anger for old Frank. Just raw uncut rage.

This man is a genius!!

"You've got no eye for fashion!!!!!!!!!!!" "I'VE GOT NO EYE FOR FASHION???????????" Always zero to 60 in 2 seconds with the Costanzas😂

Hahaha my favorite part "Hello..... This is Frank Costanza"

"I will not tolerate infestation!"

“What the hell does that mean?” The tone in the way he said it 😂😂

Just looking at this man gets me laughing & when he opens his mouth it's a total comedic assault. He's priceless.

Elaine looks like she's about to burst out laughing every time she's in a scene with him...i wonder how many takes they had to for the "you wanna piece of me" bit, you can tell she's really holding it in 😌

Jerry Stiller is known to be a kind man. As well as a comic genius.

The Costanza's allow George's character to make sense. Without them, he's a sociopath. With them, he's a desperately insecure guy struggling to create his own identity. Jerry Stiller really added a lot to the show.

I forgot how much I enjoyed this show.

"This is Frank Costanza. ...You think you can keep us out of Florida? Well, we're moving-in lock, stock, and barrel. ...We're gonna be in the pool; we're gonna be in clubhouse; we're gonna be all-over that shuffleboard court!"

I love the Costanza's ( all of them )

The creak of the chair when Frank starts talking about cup sizes just kills me every time

Jerry's "you want a piece of me" quip cracked Julia up so much, they had to repeat that take dozens of times just to wrap the scene without her laughing. The take that appears in the episode is actually the "least funny" of the lot; Jerry's delivery in the other ones was simply too funny for Julia to play against.

you only hear about a hen, rooster, and a chicken SOMETHINGS MISSING

HAPPY FESTIVUS 2016 EVERYBODY!

Jerry Seinfeld did a great job choosing his cast and Frank Costanza really fires it up

"YOU STOP SHORT WITH ME? WE DONT DO THAT IN KOREA.." ..Gets me everytime

I am not kidding when I say this. I had a good friend growing up that had a dad that both looked and acted like Frank. He was always screaming and was always miserable. He was an Armenian immigrant and overreacted to everything. LOL.

One of the funniest comedians ever, every time I see him I can't stop laughing. 🤣

The way he delivered "this guy... this is not my kind of guy." 😂

These are the parents who are absolutely hilarious to watch on tv but are an absolute hell to have irl

I like to go in fresh!

"They make it their home THEY URINATE IN DERE!"

Frank and Kramer together is comedy gold. And one more thing.....HOOCHY MOMMA!!!

Thank you Jerry Stiller (Frank Constanza, Arthur Spooner) for sharing your gift with the world. May you Rest In Peace and find your serenity now! 😆💙😆💙

"Are you sayin'... You wanna piece o'me? YOU GOT IIIIIT!!!" Favorite line ever!
