MiniEpisode about the story of George in the Episode The Marine Biologist.
Kramer has acquired a stash of 2,000 Titleist golf balls from a driving range and decides to practice his driving skills by hitting them into the ocean rather than a driving range. Jerry meets a female friend from college (Rosalind Allen), and claims that George is a marine biologist. George, who now is expecting a call from her, is upset because he prefers to lie about being an architect. Kramer returns home in humiliation, having missed every ball except one, and becomes obsessed with getting sand out of his clothing. At the beach, George keeps lying about his job when he is called upon to use his nonexistent marine biology skills to save a beached whale. The episode ends with George's dramatic retelling of his struggle with the whale in coffee shop, ultimately revealing that the whale's blowhole had been lodged with Kramer's Titleist golf ball. Kramer responds meekly that it was a "hole in one." George also told his girlfriend about not really being a marine biologist, and was summarily dumped.
Ending Scene:
George: The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to return soup at a deli! .......... I got about fifty-feet out and then suddenly the great beast appeared before me. I tell ya he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence he gave out a big bellow. I said, "Easy big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling I realized something was obstructing his breathing. From where I was standing, I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!
Jerry: Mammal.
George: Whatever.
Kramer: Well, what did you do next?
George: Then from out of nowhere a huge title wave lifted, tossed like a cork and I found myself on top of him face to face with the blow-hole. I could barely see from all of the waves crashing down on top of me but I knew something was there so I reached my hand and pulled out the obstruction! (George pulls out of the inside pocket a golf ball)
Kramer: What is that a Titleist? A hole in one eh.
Seinfeld l "Jerome "Jerry" Seinfeld is the main protagonist of the American television sitcom Seinfeld (1989--1998). The straight man among his group of friends, this semi-fictionalized version of comedian Jerry Seinfeld was named after, co-created by, based on, and played by Seinfeld himself. The series revolves around Jerry's misadventures with his best friend George Costanza, neighbor Cosmo Kramer, and ex-girlfriend Elaine Benes. He is usually the voice of reason amidst his friends' antics and the focal point of the foursome's relationship." - Komedie

Lol
This is THE perfect example where the “A” plot and “B” plot meet up to form a perfect climax to an episode.
LD is a master of that, he always brings it back around
Yes, I loved how all the Seinfeld episodes tied up at the end.
Must have seen the DVD commentary huh
I guess
I just saw Jerry say that they wrote George's speech the night before shooting and handed the new script to Jason and said "learn this now". Jerry's shocked reaction in the scene is not acting, he said, but his amazement that George was nailing the speech in one take
Larry David yelling... “Is anyone a marine biologist?”
Nice job picking that up. I like how he had some off-camera lines (including Steinbrenner) throughout the seasons and a cameo or two (when Kramer gets arrested for being a serial killer)
Ahhh.....funny! I had to listen! Nice work noticing that! :)
and a man in Cape...Frank's attorney
Oh man the likes are at a perfect number
Haha, I was going to point that out but came looking for that comment. Back then, we didn't know his voice yet. It's so obvious now.
Alternate ending, George pulls out the golfball, and it goes straight to the Curb Your Enthusiasm music.
To this day, I am still convinced that George was on that day a marine biologist.
It’s not a lie if you believe it’s true.
Good thing he stopped being a latex salesman
Me, too. He channeled Jacques Cousteau.
Not quite...but legend has it that he DID stay at a Holiday Inn express the night before.

“Directly into the eye of the great fish”
“Mammal.”
“Whatever.”
Although informal, experts do refer to them as fish. For example the gray whale is termed the "devil fish" because its speed and erratic behavior make it hard to catch.
Put a Period at the End of Fish! I get why you didn’t though, so never mind.
My favorite is the zeal with which he says, 'I tell ya he was ten stories tall if he was a foot!'
@@ivanabcdefg9375 yeah, it's kinda like how petrolheads will often call the engine the "motor;" they know everything about it (including the huge difference between an engine and a motor) but it's basically a colloquialism for the engine.
This is peak Seinfeld here
I remember at the time this episode had people going nuts. So many college kids and people in their early 20s who would normally be going out on Thursday eve were staying in for Seinfeld.
Peak comedy tbh
It was the only show on TV for white folks, it was funny because there was nothing better.
Seinfeld peaked every episode
Ah. I miss you, 1994.
Jerry himself says this was his favourite episode. He was blown away that George delivered the entire monologue story in ONE TAKE with such perfection.
If that wasn't enough....the pure innocent look on Kramers face as the others turn to look at him with shame is one of the shows greatest moments.
Not only that. It was created on the spot when the episode didn’t land. George learned it in 10 minutes and then they did the take.
That was an incredible delivery. 🔥🔥🔥
@@jonathancmclane Jason Alexander learned it, Jason Alexander delivered it. George isn't real.
@@LordTalax It's a good thing you corrected that.
@@jonathancmclane czcams.com/video/uZPSO4yte8k/video.html that's crazy!!
"She told me to go to hell and I took the bus home."
Best anti-climactic story ending of any American Sitcom, ever.
Except for the actual sitcom’s ending itself
THis was the most un funny story in the show also the Bosco one sucked when he admitted his password was Bosco. I dont get why people like this one
@@worsethanhitlerpt.2539 the plot may be stupid but it was worth it for the payoff of this scene at the end. if you dont get it then I dont know how you can call yourself a fan of the show. all the plots were stupid and absurd. thats what made them funny.
@@RedroomStudios Its really not funny Kramer hits a golf ball into a Whales snout? Fuckin stupid. A 5 y.o. kid would prob. not laugh at that.
Georges dramatic story makes it even more unfunny
"The sea was angry that day, my friends-- like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli."
Underrated line 😂
I Said,easy there big fellow!!!
No waves for you!
"You know I always wanted to pretend that I was an architect."
thats what he said yes
Art Vandelay.... his pretend architect name. Lol
He designs "railroads" lol!
@@AwakenTheDawn2004 I thought that was his name for pretending to import and export?
The best line in the show
Jason Alexander should be awarded an honorary membership of the US Association for Marine Biology or something, for that performance.
“Is anyone here a marine biologist?!” Gets me everytime
yep! like what are the chances... and then the realization is that George is going to have to step forward!
Pure Genius!
Obviously it is George's scene, but Kramer's delivery on "Is that a Titleist?" kills me every time.
a hole in one
God this story is so unfunny Kramer hit a ball into a Whales snout? Fuckin retarded
I don't know what's more impressive, that they wrote this monologue rapidly, right there on the set, or that Alexander performed it perfectly in 1 take
Nobody can tell a story like Jason Alexander.
It's in the little details like the facial expression while holding the ball towards Kramer.
Man you forgot about the Kramer's bus story
@@linkesh8129 "you kept making all the stops?" "Well they kept ringing the bell!"
@@vsaminat 🤣🤣🤣 man kramer is a born genius...in fact I believe he just born just to play kramer....
like gaston
Jason Alexander got robbed of Emmy's!! His performances as George Costanza were brilliant!!
“I tell you he was 10 stories high if he was a foot!” 😂
I don't get that saying :)
It’s a way of phrasing and idea as done in films of the 1950’s-60’s, an “over embellishment” of the story for dramatic effect - usually used in the crime/drama genre. So funny to see it used here.
@@tennisee10 and AmyT - thats how old maritime stories (such as Moby Dick) were told, with lots of exaggeration to increase the drama and sense of wonder. the opening line "the sea was angry that day my friends" is another example of the same style.
Afoot* in other words, he'd be 10 stories high if he was standing
The best sitcom moment in the history. Period.
George telling the story is one the best scenes ever.
It is THE best scene ever
@@goldengun9970 can't argue with that lol
The laugh at 3:43 just gets me EVERY time as George shows the golf ball to the others.
"The sea was angry that day, my friends." Hilarious.
.....I still say that line today, when on the beach and taking my time to go into the water..."today the sea is angry my friends".......
Accept no substitutes, my friends. There will never be another Jason Alexander/ George Costanza. 😂
This is probably the most incredible and extraordinary ending of any sitcom episode ever. The writing, acting, sense of irony, and atmosphere are perfectly timed and brilliant. This will stand the test of time for decades to come...
I can’t tell you how many times this line is used by my mates , when it’s been a extremely tough day on the golf course , “ The sea was angry that day , my friends .....”
No rehearsal, one take, Extraordinary.
The sheepish acting from Michael Richards is superb
Jason Alexander spoke most part of the clip. For almost 3 minutes.
Just with 1 dialogue, Michael almost stole the whole scene. Seinfeld is all about overachiever artists outperforming each other.
@@ecomwebspacedotcom until you realize that Jason Alexander learned this whole monologue in 10 min and preformed it on the first try. That’s significantly more impressive than a voice crack
@@mrfahrenheit677 - As I said in my earlier post. I think both are amazing overachievers. It would be blasphemous to Rate them in my opinion. But, if you think one is better than other.... 👍
@@ecomwebspacedotcom i mean im not talking in general. in this scene tho
@@mrfahrenheit677 Ok 👍
The way george walks to the ocean is hilarious.
For me the most funny thing in this entire scene, is the facial expression of Kramer when he sees the golf ball.
Can we just appreciate the fact that George Constanza saved a whale's life?
mmm.... no. thats not the point at all.
That’s what makes Seinfeld characters so great. Sometimes they do legendary things. Mostly nothing is legendary.
Larry David wrote the ending monologue in front of the audience. They needed something to really strike the audience. Alexander learned the lines on the spot andwhat we saw was the first take. It's also the longest laugh the show had.
Where did you hear that
@@kd17Burger Jason Alexander
I would argue that the ending to The Velvet Fog scene with Kramer and the saxaphone artist with Elaine are damn close, though.
@@tickeroo correct. It was discussed more extensively in the supplemental material from the original DVDs.
@@kd17Burger yeah Jason Alexander says it in an interview. CZcams him in an interview... I'm not sure which
One of the best moments in TV sitcom history.
I like watching Elaine in these situations... you can see her trying to hold it together... 🤔😂
The moment when he pulls out the Titleist, I am so overjoyed and thrilled and amused. Such a beautifully put and written part! That soliloquy at the end is brilliant! Only Larry David can write it and only George Constanza can deliver it.
Story has it that it was both written and then memorized by Jason in a span of an hour at the very end of the day's shoot. Only one take. The original ending was very different.
@@hd-xc2lz I know what you're saying but you have one part wrong. Larry David wrote it at the last minute and Jason had maybe 10mins to remember it and do the take. They did in very few takes or maybe just one and that was it
@@hd-xc2lz What was the original ending?
@@sylph8005 George walking to the sea
@@azkanand5832 Yeah, that's lame
How did Michael Richards make that face? How do you just make yourself look so stunned and guilty on command? I can’t stop watching it. And for the timing of his lines he waits for the crowd to stop laughing and it makes it that much funnier.
I said "EASY, BIG FELLA!" That one always slays me.
The sea was angry that day my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.
Perfect writing and acting right there.
The actors have said that the audience laughter at the end of the monologue was the loudest and most hilarious in the history of the show. It was the biggest and epic laugh I had of all the "Seinfeld" episodes (and there are a lot of funny moments).
The yelp scream at 3:42 is what does it for me. LOL
I heard that the audience roaring laughter in the episode where Elaine is walking out and says her mother "Laid out her panties for her" was epic too. LOL
After such an epic story and twist in the end. Alexanders delivery of “she told me to go to hell and I took the bus home.” Is the quintessential Seinfeld brilliance. On to the next episode.....
I had totally forgotten that extra little piece at the end. and I have gone back to watch this scene many times over the years.
I can’t remember if Jason Alexander won an Emmy for this performance, but he definitely earned one with that monologue. Absolutely brilliant!
For some stupid reason, his performance wasn't even submitted.
@@alexolds9840 that’s bullshit right there. He memorized this whole monologue after one viewing.
@@smoothALOE Yeah, I definitely agree. Can you believe he never actually won at all? Fuck the Emmys to oblivion for that. He was great in The Hamptons, but when you compare that performance to this one, the submission choice really makes no sense.
@@alexolds9840 he had lots of great performances that season. I’d say the finale was right up there, too: The Opposite… but that monologue is one of the all-time greats in the history of sitcoms. He deserved more credit for making it come to life.
The sheer utter mastery of this scene is beyond Oscar worthy.
I love that Jerry’s always about to bust out laughing. I watch Seinfeld when feeling down..best medicine
Elaine too!
@@ezekielbrockmann114 oh. She wasn't able to keep a straight face even in this scene
all 3 of the others were close to laughter in this scene!
"Is that a Titelist?" I've seen it over and over, and the comic energy is still there undiminished ... this is the hallmark of great comedy writing ... this is the signature of the Fawlty Towers!
wrong show
@@lynnturman8157 what do you mean, "wrong show"?
"You know I always wanted to pretend I was an architect." 🤣🤣🤣
*You got me in the Galapagos island living with the turtles!*
*I donno where the hell I am!*
Finally George got his moment
Costanza: This sand-it’s EVERYWHERE!!!!
Lucas [Mind BLOWN]: So inspiring; I’ve found the perfect dialogue for a LOVE SCENE!!!
The scene where george walks into the sea deserves an emmy
Always enjoy hearing Larry David yelling from off camera.
"Is anyone here a marine biologist"- That sounded like Larry David's voice
It was larry david
No, it was Big Stein.
You’re both wrong. It was Wayne Knight.
‘Twas.
*BINGO!*
One of my top Seinfeld moments was the scene at Monks when Jerry tells George "Now...I should tell you, that at this point....she's under the impression that you're a uhhh Marine Biologist." The entire dialogue was hilarious. The puzzled look of bewilderment and confusion on George's face was priceless. Lmao!!!
But I'm not a marine biologist
@@conephompany "Yes I know that." LOL!!
Is anyone here a marine biologist? I crack every time 😆😆😆😁😁😁😁
THE GREATEST ending to a sitcom episode EVER!!
I am shocked that Julia did not break character. That is such a funny speech.
she was struggling. all 3 of them were.
"why did you make me an architect? You know I always wanted to PRETEND I was an architect!" That's one of my favorite lines ever.
Jason Alexander talks about this scene in his Archive of American Television interview. Apparently, George walking into the ocean was supposed to be the end of the show, but the scene didn't get the laughs they wanted so they came up with this last coffee shop scene on the fly. Nailed it
One of the best all-time sitcom scenes right here.
This is one of the few times where george wins and boy what a victory
and yet in the end he loses the woman because he opens his mouth.
not really... he still lost the girl and that is the real point.
Seinfield was killing it these episodes.. best ever
At the 3:10 point you can see Julia Louise Dryfus trying to hold back laughing.
3:43-4:17 One of the best laughs of the entire series, is awesome to hear the credits music with the laughs. Everyone burst out laughing, the production crew, the Studio audience, as well as hearing people applausing and whistling
One would think this is a story you tell about Bob Sacamano but this is a story you tell Bob Sacamano about George Costanza!
Went in for a hernia operation!
Legends say, he is still out there saving whales while pretending to be a marine biologist.
Underrated comment 🤣
Fun fact: The producers weren't happy with the original ending, so Larry David wrote the monologue on the spot, using the golf ball to connect Kramer and George, and Jason Alexander had to learn it within minutes. It got a full minute of laughter from the audience.
Jason Alexander never rehearsed that speech. This was the first time he did it, and it was in front of an audience.
I just spent two years living by the sea in Italy in a very windy place, and I said, "The sea was angry that day, my friends" out loud at least once per week!
Haha. Did anyone ever get the reference?
@@Vometbomb They did not, but not very many people spoke English there either.
They were all angry Maestros...
"Easy big fella"--Elaine tries not to burst out laughing!
"at that moment!!! I was a Marine biologist!" Such a great line. I use it any time I tell a story about a time when I did something really good. "I tell you at that moment!!!! I was a _________(fill in the blank)!!!!!"
Seinfeld's favourite line of the whole series. "IS THAT A TITLEIST?"
"So I reached my hand in,felt around and......pulled out the obstruction!!" CLASSIC 🤣 😂 😅
We are blessed. Today in 2022 we have Big Brother season 46, So You Think You Can Dance season 97 and Rachel Meadows to tell us how our opinions should be. Man I mis the 90's.
Truly the best of the best comedy moments in TV history. It is ironic that Seinfeld as a series barely survived in ratings during its first four seasons only reaching rating success after being moved to fill the Thur night spot vacated when Cheers ended! I don't think in today's social media swamp of how people connect we will ever see the likes of the comedic genius and acting experienced in Sienfeld or Cheers again. And that is a pity!
George s Speech itself woth an EMMY
For those who don't yet know the story of this scene, it was added at the last minute. Jason's last scene was supposed to be George walking out into the surf to save the whale. But Larry and the other writers weren't satisfied with the audience reaction. So they quickly huddled together, came up with the golf ball idea and handed a new script to the cast. They literally had MINUTES to memorize their new lines, do a quick run-through (temporarily hidden from the audience), then emerged to do the scene. Jason says it was the longest sustained audience laughter of the entire series.
Pinnacle of comedic storytelling. God Bless Seinfeld.
This was one of the funniest episodes ever.
"Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli" 😂
The sea was angry that day like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli 😂😂😂😂
There's only two final sitcom scenes that have left me on the floor, weeping from laughing uncontrollably at a pay-off, this is one of them. The other is from Arrested's third season, with GOB's tiny model town, Tobias' mole costume and George Michael swooping in on his jetpack. Both are a perfect culmination of various separate plots, and though they tie them together differently (George's quiet cafe monologue versus AD's big, farcical Gozilla parody), they inhabit the same part of my brain.
This episode was a slam-dunk of hilarity. Watching every scene, I’m helpless with laughter.
Jason Alexander is one hell of a actor.
I still remember watching this for the first time with that second of anticipation wondering what was in George’s hand, then just howling with laughter at “Is it a Titleist?”
This line “the sea was angry that day my friends” will be as classic a sitcom line as “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly “
Of all the great Seinfeld sequences this is one of the absolute best in my book. Easily in the top 5 at least if not at #1 or #2.
My favorite episode. Everytime I go into the ocean I quote this episode. Everytime I find a golf ball I say "Is that a Titleist?"
Gold, pure gold! 💛💛💛
A perfect coelescence of writing and acting.
The writing in this episode is beyond funny. The show had some really funny seasons once it found itself. This episode, the Opposite, the Hamptons, the Pilot, etc...hysterical.
The pinky toe, fantasy baseball
... Bette Midler
How Jason Alexander didn't win an emmy for this episode I will never know.
You see Michael Richards is fighting bursting out laughing. It makes the scene even funnier that he is barely holding it together. It reminds me of Tim Conway cracking everyone up on the Carol Burnett Show.
Kramer's face when George shows the ball lmao
Seinfeld helps my depression so much
At 3:46...The look on Kramer's face when George showed the golf ball was absolutely priceless!
2:49 You can tell Elaine is trying not to laugh lol 😆
I loved seeing the blood drain from Kramer's face.
3:42 Realest live audience laugh ever lmao
Kudos to the others for not laughing during the scene
The greatest scene and lead up of all time , love Jason Alexander.
Who’s here after Jerry’s interview on the Rich Eisen Show?
This is the first Seinfeld clip I've ever watched. Cool show
Kramer should have won an Emmy for his facial acting.. now that is acting.
This is one of the great moments in comedy history
