the genius of making a show about nothing is that they got to dive into a treasure trove of endless minutiae everybody had ignored for subject matter, but were so relatable.
I did meet him. He was at a vending machine. He looked like he didn’t have enough money i offered to buy him the coke. He said he had money but couldn’t get it out of the souvenir kangaroo scrotum he bought. Then he left. 2 min later I come up with a classic line. “If you think it’s difficult to get it out of that now, trying doing it when they’re still attached” Always kicking myself for that.
I did meet him many years ago. It was at a Sizzler on Wilshire Blvd. It was the day after The Contest aired. The show at that time was on Wednesdays and in the middle of the ratings. He could still walk around town. I approached him and told him how much I loved the show and that I could not believe they let them do that episode. He told me he couldn't believe it either.
Check out the clip from the Curb episode where Jason Alexander appears as a version of himself. Season 7, episode 10 I believe. At the party for the ridiculous pamphlet size book he has written entitled "Acting Without Acting" watch as he turns into George when he is challenged by Larry and Jerry about the absurdity of his "book". Classic.
My wife and I did meet Jason. November 19, 1992. How can I remember the date? It was the day after the initial airing of The Contest. Show was still on Wednesdays at the time, ranked about 30th. So, it was still a little "cult-y" and Jason was able to walk around. Well, there he was at a Sizzler on Wilshire Blvd., and we approached him at the salad bar to gush about the show in general. I also expressed my shock that they had been allowed to do an episode about masturbation. He said he and the rest of the cast were equally amazed.
George had seen that suit in a store but couldn't buy it. However, the lady at the store told him that there would be a sale in the following days. A customer walks in inquiring about the suit, so George lies to him about there being a sale, but on a different date than what the lady told George, so he "guards" the suit until the day of the sale and beats the customer to it. The customer then gets mad and tells him he is going to regret it. It then turns out that the Chef is that customer.
Actually he just moves to the suit to a different rack and when the doors open in the morning...he walks over to it and says oh look at this, there's been a terrible mistake! And then he buys it. The guy he beat out for the suit swears vengeance on him.
You have to watch the whole episode to understand what happened. George and the Chef (whom he did not know would be his chef) had an earlier altercation over the suit at a clothing store during a sale. Fast forward to the restaurant, the chef recognized George and poisons George's dessert for revenge.
my wife was telling out sons about the swooshie pants episode so had to show them this. but now they know where i got the "if you're one of us, you'll eat it" line i use at the dinner table.
@Leo Dancor To each their own, but I have to go with George as well. His neurotic behavior and need to overanalyze the smallest details make him funnier than Kramer, to me at least. I can see why many people go with Kramer, though.
I wonder if "Mackenzie" is a parody of "McKinsey", the famous consulting firm. The McKinsey firm is known for being good at what they do, but they also do things that would sound a little bit cultish for a company of professionals
Yeah, many ideas came from the writers' personal experiences. "Festivus" was a real party created by one of the writers' parents (or relatives), for instance.
From reality! I once worked with a guy whose pants made the same horrible whisking sound. When he walked to and from the printer I wanted to strangle him. I complained about it to a friend, who said I should watch this Seinfeld episode.
i think that same suit is in Bonanza S9 E22 worn by Simon Scott, all property of NBC, when he puts on his robe over it it makes the same swishing sound.
Never realized the company was McKinsey, I wonder if it was supposed to be McKinsey and Company??? If it was, then it's very interesting that they focus on "no dissent is tolerated" when McKinsey is known for its "obligation to dissent"! My rambling thoughts on a late Friday night. Still a funny episode! 😁
George has the same pants I use to have to put on back in the early 1970's when my mother took me to the HUSKY department for boys- those Husky pants with the stupid designs. I always had to pray no one saw me in there buying chubby fat boy clothes. lol

It's the larry david special.
Nice editing, Tarantino.
Nice..
are u a team player?
Good one Ponton!
Yeah great job Ponchi
More like Assholino
The look on George's face after he says "Could be the leaves" is priceless. It's my dream to meet such a talented actor as Jason Alexander lol
Its my dream to fly

"You know, I think all these interviews are making you nuts."
Story of my god damn life.
"Conformity's an obsession with me", what a great sentence!
And he enjoys understanding
Fits his character perfectly!
right up there with "I enjoy understanding"
My work colleague: If your one of us, you'll take the jab!
They double dip their forks.
They dipped their fork. Took a bite then they dipped again. That's like putting your whole mouth in the pie.

Thanks.

I already know that.
@@jewdavid5627some may not. Relax.
"If you're one of us... you'll take a bite."
NO!
what was it with the pie?
If the comedic element hadn't been established,
you'd think he was joining a group of vampires.
@@anypraxThe chef messed with it because he recognised George as the guy that bought the suit he wanted.

"I insist!" What a pathological control freak! I'd say George had a lucky escape there.
that's the real world
George never gets a win.
Every time he’s come close something always happens.
😆😆😆😆😆
"Conformity's an obsession with me" that's such a good line
“His nose whistled when he breathes” Classic Larry David 😂
yes, lol
" A NICE, QUIET SUIT"😂
and after he spent an entire weekend guarding the suit.
I'm gonna get you for this, you're gonna pay.
George: oh I'll pay... Half Price!
If you're one of us you'll take a bite.
+Gordon Liddy - That's my favourite line too! The look on the actor's face is priceless!
Greg Walker Another good one, different episode, is "I knew it wasn't Berkowitz".
+Gordon Liddy SEINFELDS VAN?! SEINFELDS VAN?!
Thanks!
Just a great delivery
my wife was telling out sons about the swooshie pants episode so had to show them this. but now they know where i got the "if you're one of us, you'll eat it" line i use at the dinner table.
Reverse order + George's pants = Pulp FRICTION! Thank you. Goodnight everybody, drive safe!
Are you trying to go out on a high note?
“Let’s say it comes down to me and one other guy. He’s got a nice quiet suit and I’m whooshing all over the place!” LOL!!!!
"The Pie" is my favorite Seinfeld episode. hilarious stuff!
I have to say among the four, George is the funniest character.
@Leo Dancor To each their own, but I have to go with George as well. His neurotic behavior and need to overanalyze the smallest details make him funnier than Kramer, to me at least. I can see why many people go with Kramer, though.
They’re all hilarious and perfectly cast, but George has always been my personal favorite.
George’s role is based on the life of Larry David the creator of Seinfeld
Kramer by 100 miles.
I think most people would say Kramer
Lol It's hard to pick a favorite on this show, somehow they all get you in an episode that put a smile on your face.
IF your one of us, you'll take a bite
You're
AND AHM WOOSHIN ALL OVA THE PLACE
"So you didn't get the job."
"No, but I was the only one at the table who didn't get vitally ill."
That's a win for George right there. :)
That swishing sound. LOL😂😂😂
LOOOOOL
I think george was very lucky not to be part of that "team"! Everything together! "If you're one of us you will take a bite!"
Get it ? xD
“No problem, conformity is an obsession with me.” Haha good old Geroge
I wonder if "Mackenzie" is a parody of "McKinsey", the famous consulting firm. The McKinsey firm is known for being good at what they do, but they also do things that would sound a little bit cultish for a company of professionals
My tv subtitles used Mckinsey instead. I thought this was what the NYC office was like in the 1990s
He probably couldn’t edit it properly because of all the whooshing sounds from the suit.
The non-linear timeline is genius by the creators!
I just imagine larry david rubbing sandpaper together right next to the camera mic
lol...this scene is sooo George...anyone else would just say screw it I'll get sick for a great job...but not costanza.
I wouldn't get sick for the job. George would have been fired later for some dumb reason had he stayed.
Could be the leaves LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I suspect that George's thighs would swish even if he wasn't wearing any pants.
Why the hell couldn't George stop them all from eating by saying he has beef with the chef. Then would've gotten the job for sure
quiet in the back!
The guy took a bite before he found out.
Because this is TV and that way it is funnier
Dang that's funny. Reminds me of the whistling tooth on Always Sunny.
I just randomly thought of this at work and had to watch it and here is the scene. So Great. Thank you.
I've had these types of pants before so I can relate.
how the heck do they come up with these ideas?
Yeah, many ideas came from the writers' personal experiences. "Festivus" was a real party created by one of the writers' parents (or relatives), for instance.
Mostly from Larry's experiences but all the writers had personal touches to every script. And sometimes its just the "what if" scenario lol
@Reenter Name yep. Going through a similar situation right now myself.
From reality! I once worked with a guy whose pants made the same horrible whisking sound. When he walked to and from the printer I wanted to strangle him. I complained about it to a friend, who said I should watch this Seinfeld episode.
@@DocRunaway What the
The pants were Panski material
I couldn t be an extra on this show,I d be laughing so hard.
I almost choke with this.😂😂😂
1:42 - When your former employer demands that you get the Covid vaccine
i think that same suit is in Bonanza S9 E22 worn by Simon Scott, all property of NBC, when he puts on his robe over it it makes the same swishing sound.
this show is better than dessert, this show is heaven hahaha, WOW
"kind of like a, rustling...." The way he says that is just awesome XD
If you're one of us, you'll take a bite.
Seinfeld - classic black humour.
putting the scenes in reverse lol
Thank you for this hilarious video, but the scenes were in the wrong order. Just to let you know.
that black guy was trained to talk white
I would’ve taken a bite. A little food poisoning is better than still being unemployed
Because George got that suit for the interview before him.
1:41 whitest sounding black guy ever
Thanks Brendan! The Black guy.
***** That is awesome lol
*****
Lol no way....
*****
awesome!
I guess you have never heard of Al Roker
I seen this episode before but it still cracks me up.
"Swoosh,swoosh,swoosh."
Let's say it comes down to me and one other guy - he's got a nice quiet suit and I'm wooshing all over the place!!
Thanks for editing it backwards.
How hard it must be to actually play such a scene without bursting...
🤣🤣🤣the swooshing sound
The guy hiring him says wooshing
There actually is an episode that's all backwards like Memento... starts where the end should be and ends where the beginning should be
The one where they go to India
ONE OF US!!!
I was expecting “one of us! One of us! Gooble gobble! Gooble gobble!”
This scene is hilarious to watch....BUT....I come back to read adamatomic41's Spot On Comment "Nice Editing Tarantino"....Absolutely Slays
Total win...hides suit, buys suit swoosh nothing but net.
Hahahaha i hear someone with a smooshing pants passing me by i immediately thought about this episode 🤣🤣
1:15 - It's Mr Dickie, the asshole bank manager in 'The Mask'! Pretty cool seeing all these recognisable actors in this show casually turn up.
I looked him up right after I saw him to confirm this lol
George shoulda just said, "Doctor told me to cut back on sweets, guys. Always do what the doctor orders."
Or said he was allergic to chocolate
He should have told the boss over the phone that he can't meet him anywhere because he's got the omicron variant of COVID-19.
I think it's nice how you reversed the two scenes like that. Bravo.
Swoosh swoosh...swoosh...swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
It's quieter down here we can do business without people whoosing around
when they are backwards they cannot be busted for copyright infringements
1:20 was the only time i ever felt sorry for george. Just look at his face haha
"... could be the leaves..."
Was a nice suit though besides the noise
Love how the boss tries to feed George with his own fork lol
Lol I just noticed that too just now too 😂😂😂😂
I love that swoosh sound. Like a weirdo
That chocolate cream pie was made with Ex Lax
Never realized the company was McKinsey, I wonder if it was supposed to be McKinsey and Company??? If it was, then it's very interesting that they focus on "no dissent is tolerated" when McKinsey is known for its "obligation to dissent"! My rambling thoughts on a late Friday night.

I'm watching this from the end
"I INSIST" lol Manager was on his LAST straw. Yep, that is how they GET hahaha. Bosses, smh
copyright issues. it's reversed so it technically means that it's not the original version.
Kinda like a....rustling
"EY JER-"
"Whooshing around" lol
IF YOUR ONE OF US YOU'LL TAKE A BITE
[rustling]
The Betrayal episode this is not.
He played the original lloyd braun from the non fat ice cream episode
I think that was a different actor
This is Covid-19 in a nutshell. But not the pants, but the pie
forced vaxx cult??
I just wanted to see george not found in a suit- OwO
and i am swooshing all over the place kkkkkkkkkkk i am dead
Nice quiet suit!
You can kind of tell approximately what season these clips are from by the relative chubbiness of George's cheeks.
George has the same pants I use to have to put on back in the early 1970's when my mother took me to the HUSKY department for boys- those Husky pants with the stupid designs. I always had to pray no one saw me in there buying chubby fat boy clothes. lol
Nice editing, Scorsese
