--------------------------------------------
JERRY: She broke up with you?
GEORGE: No, but I can tell she's going to. I can sense it. We had this terrible phone conversation. I was so nervous before I called I made up this whole list of things to talk about.
JERRY: What was on the list?
GEORGE: Let's see, How I'm very good at going in reverse in my car, why isn't Postum a more popular drink,
JERRY: Yeah, Postum is under-ratted,
GEORGE: Anyway there was all this tension. I asked her if she wanted to go out to dinner and she said "no, maybe we could get together for lunch." You know what that means.
JERRY: What's wrong with lunch?
GEORGE: Lunch is fine at the beginning then you move on to dinner. you don't move back to lunch. It's like being demoted. I'll never do another crossword puzzle with her again. I know it.
KRAMER: I like the Jumble You ever do the Jumble?
GEORGE: I have no power Do you understand? I need hand. I have no hand.
KRAMER: Break up with her
GEORGE: What?
KRAMER: You break up with her. You reverse everything that way.
JERRY: A preemptive breakup.
GEORGE: A preemptive breakup. This is an incredible idea. I got nothing to lose. We either break up which she would do anyway but at least I go out with some Dignity. Completely turn the tables. It's absolutely brilliant.
[MONKS]
GEORGE: So, I am have to going to break up with you.
NOEL: You're breaking up with me?
GEORGE: I, ... am breaking up with, ... you.
NOEL: Wow.
GEORGE: Shocked?
NOEL: I really am.
GEORGE: Never expected this did you?
NOEL: I thought everything was fine.
GEORGE: Well, live and learn.
NOEL: I don't understand. You're breaking up with me. Didn't we have fun doing the crossword puzzles?
GEORGE: Kind of.
NOEL: I'm very confused.
GEORGE: Well, I didn't mean to hurt you kid.
NOEL: I thought,...
GEORGE: Now, stop it ...
NOEL: What do you want, I can make you happy.
GEORGE: When you're playing the piano do you think about me?
NOEL: I don't know.
GEORGE: This is what I'm talking about.
NOEL: OK, I'll think about you.
GEORGE: All the time.
NOEL: All the time? ... OK, All the time.
GEORGE: I can't hear you.
NOEL: All the time. ALL THE TIME.
GEORGE: See, It's not so hard. - Розваги
"Never expected this, din't you?" his enthusiasm kills me everytime
1:40 his face when he says 'live and learn' like he's so proud of himself lol
The best part 😂
Jaja I just got done telling a friend that while we watched the video, how he was relishing in the whole thing lol
I have tried it it works 😂😂😂
Lunch is indeed the most platonic of meals. Dinner is more of a date meal. And breakfast... well, if you're having breakfast together, then... congratulations, my friend.
Richard Thompson .....dinner at the Y is always fulfilling ......
This whole comment is very Seinfeld-ian.
This is possibly the most brillant thing i have ever heard
I know right, free breakfast!
Lol I have had breakfast with many girls...trust me congratulations are not on order.
Didn't mean to hurt ya kid
"Oh come on, stop it now!"
Lmao
Watching it again
One of his best lines 😂😂😂
And Again
Notice how Jerry is interested about the list. It is because he wants to use some of it in his stand up routine. See how he gets his material? Brilliant
Romulus C , So true, Jerry actually took the list out of George’s hand, and kept it.
This makes no sense
I never realized that! Hahahaha he folds it up and puts it away.
hope you`re trying to joke
The original premise of the show was explaining where Jerry's jokes came from. You would watch the episode and at the end see the jokes he picked up during the episode used in the outro stand-up routine.
I GO ONE BETTER.
Instead of a preemptive break-up, I don't date at all.
Ha! That'll show em!
That's what I'm doing. I got so much hand you won't believe it.
Prof. Farnsworth: "Fry, if you and that monkey don't learn to get along, I'll have you both neutered!"
Fry: "Ha ha, that'll show 'im!"
Perfect strategy, Dr. I stick to escorts and cute girls working at massage parlors. They got hands. Hands covered in lotion.
Why not date but just not exclusively? If you can go more than a week without pussy you need to check your test levels dude
HAHAHAHAA
damn george is ruthless
xProdigy1994
George is a classic narcissist.
A lot of narcissists actually are. They build themselves up to cover for the fact that they're in fact hollow men/women.
yeah FeelsBadMan
you know... as a marcissist myself you idiots kind of piss me off to be honest. EVERY God damn person on this planet is narcissistic to some extent. Lack of narcissism means you don't love yourself, and if you don't love yourself you don't have confidence in yourself, and if you don't have confidence in yourself you're disappointed with yourself, and if you're disappointed with yourself you start hating yourself, and when you start hating yourself.... well, you get the idea... hopefully....
See how it works? Narcissism (love of your own self) is NEEDED for humans to live happily, and you're saying "you're narcissist" with such hate and arrogance that you're the pitiful ones, actually.
I love how he leaps from just trying to retain some dignity to instantly being an insufferable narcissist. =D I love George.
😆😆😆😆
I do love George but man, for a 5’5”, slow-witted, balding neurotic, he sure has more luck with ladies than damn near all of us.
It's a scripted show
@@janetsminten8196 Woooooosh
Møtíf It's fiction. Irl George would be a perfect incel profile. Especially when he was living with his parents.
@@janetsminten8196 we know that janet..cause we're not fucking idioits.
@ledzeppelin711 calm down it's just a typo, had a couple of drinks, you dont need to get a big dick over it.
"But you can't break up with me! I have hand!"
"And you're gonna need it."
the writing......fan-fcking-tastic
6 years ago, and i assume u need 666 likes
And he does.
@@oanaeva2874
666 isn't a magic number, you superstitious dipshit.
"I've got so much hand I'm coming out of my gloves." Genius episode.
When I was younger I always thought George was such a loser. It’s only when I got older where I realize George is more successful than me
RIP we are all George Costanza
cause like most young people, you were judging him against the person you assumed you would become. that's why young people are rarely to be taken seriously.
@Joe King Yeah, it’s best to beat all delusions of hope out of them early.
Jesus loves you
Feel the same
The girl playing George’s girlfriend gives a great performance. The support casts were always top notch on this show.
This shows that nothing about relationships has changed after 2 decades
yes it has none of the hipsters would have the cahones to do it the guys nowadays have become the women
KillEveryoneKillPhil yeah earth is 6000 years old, humans came at 2000 when Jesus freed the homo sapiens
The top 20% of guys still bangs 80% of the girls
Social media has ruined relationships theres a huge difference now
Feminism has taught women that if there are no problems, create problems.
Always strike first.
okrajoe I like to sit back and watch you play yourself first, then afterward confront you like "you know you done fucked up right son"?
okrajoe
9/11 never forget.
Unless it's a parent?
Cobra kai
Strike hard.
His tone and delivery and then the body language as he anticipates her reaction is ridiculous. He was like a little kid hoping to surprise.
These girls / actresses get so little screen times sometimes few minutes or few seconds, but they definitely make sure to nail the shots. Super duper...
I love when Kramer is brilliant
LMAO Kramer is never brilliant. All of his ideas backfire.
@@jackgrimaldi8685 you should read Kramer's book "Astonishing tales of sea" 😁
@St. Chase totally true
"I love the jumble." LOL!!
@@jackgrimaldi8685 he was on Regis and Kathy Lee. That doesn't exactly qualify as a "backfire." Heh heh....
I tried that once, and she said "oh good, I was going to tell you I'm dating your best friend. This makes it easier."
onjoFilms
Same thing happened to me! .........wait it Wasn’t LISA was it.....WAS IT!
F
Hold up. Are u guys talking about Lisa Goldman?Oh Fuck!!!
Guys, guess what.
@@JacobSmith-zp1kq You know Lisa Goldman was actually a dude right?...
The characters are so well developed. One of the greatest shows of all time.
The actress on this occasion sucks. What a horrible acting, she can't act to save her life.
@@joshua50101 not at all, but nice try there jimmy
Are you a two-face?
Brilliant. The devious, cynical genius of Larry David...and his alter-ego, Jason Alexander.
I'll do anything, ill make you happy. and the first thought he has is a piano :|
I think after his first thought, pianist was just the nearest rhyme 8====D♪♫♬
Ahmed
Context is everything, Ahmed. We watching the clip have the advantage of having seen the whole episode. It's about obsession. Obsessive devotion and commitment is the key to all the rest -- the stuff you're thinking about.
Well,this is the guy who was eating pastrami during sex and got busted lol
kmsharley75
He wanted the trifecta.
I love when he adds in the TV, the sandwich wasn't enough. sex+pastrami sandwich + tv lmao
I've done the pre-emptive breakup before thanks to Seinfeld. Really works.
I’ve never done that, but I’ve blocked someone before I could tell she was going to block me. I’m glad I did.
In what manner did it "work"? You ended a relationship for no good reason if you only did it because you thought the other person might do it first. As with George here. So you beat them to it. Grats. You do realise that the point of this sketch isn't to support pre-emptive breakups because it is silly to assume the worst. You'd only be creating the conditions that make a breakup inevitable. You talked yourself into it and now you're merely trying to retroactively justify it. If you feel you need to breakup with someone, do so. If you don't then don't. Don't create solutions to problems that don't exist. It's just too much work! Enjoy each other until it is not the case and move on. Trust me, that other person will survive your savage rebuff.
"oh, live and learn" hahahaaha
George is so proud of himself that he caught her off-guard with the breakup!
I love how mundane the “yeah, postum is underrated” line is from Jerry.
I honestly had to look up what that was
*Years ago before the introduction of decently brewed decaf coffee, Postum and Santa were always on restaurant menus.
(*Possibly the most boring comment about the least interesting hot beverages ever made.)
**Sanka
Postum honestly is underrated.
@@chasbodaniels1744 Santa? Like they killed Santa Claus, sliced up his meat, and put it on the menu next to Postum?
i spend mucho downtime watching seinfeld... never disappointed
Brian Zockoll lol well put
Thanks to George Costanza my life now makes complete sense to me.
One of George's more beautiful girlfriends lol
What? Not even close.
He dated much more beautiful women.
Anna was the hottest. But his cousin wasn't bad.
Marisa Tomei
see how they rank here:
kramersapartment.com/george/george-costanzas-girlfriends/
spoiler - middling 840 votes, average: 5.67 out of 10, rated
he blew it with that lovely chinese lawyer
George's notes could easily have been entire episodes of Seinfeld.
That's some beautiful girlfriend. Damn George
Kramer always has an Idea thats smart and stupid at the same time 😂😂😂
Watched this yesterday and tried it today, didn't exactly have the "reverse psychology" effect but it still feels better knowing I went out with my dignity mostly intact lol
Serious?!
Love how the have names and terms for every normal regular life situations...lol 😂
Its a Jewish style. They disect everything and make it fun.
This is definitely a Larry David idea (the preemptive breakup)
Very Larry David, complain about no women, get a woman , complain about the woman, break up with the woman , complain about no woman😂
Live and Learn- Classic George.
"Didnt mean to hurt ya, kid"
Such a Chad thing to say.
It takes superb acting chops to pull off a bit like this. I think people underestimate how great this gang was just in terms of acting mastery.
….??
In real life George would be found floating in the Hudson.
I’ve actually done a pre-emptive breakup, it’s a glorious thing to have hand.
"What do you want? I know I can make you happy" I don't know if George understood this🤣🤣
“But I got hand!”
“And you’re gonna need it”
seeing this scenario instantly fit my life like a glove yet again is why seinfeld is my religion
🍷AMEN! 😆😆
Remember that it was actually Elaine who ruined this relationship for him. George is often put in terrible positions by others and doesn't have the competency or confidence to overcome it. He really liked this girl and was treating her well and his insecurities once again screwed him. He is a lot more likeable when you dig deeper into who he is. Most of his dysfunction came from his psychotic parents. In the early seasons especially he really isn't a bad person
Elaine offered to apologize immediately (I think it would’ve been sincere and she’d understand) and George stopped it.
George's face at 2:02 LOL
"Didn't mean to hurt ya kid" 😆 😆
Every time I've dumped a girl she's tried to get back with me (even if she couldn't stop being a bitch to me right up until I pulled the plug). It's like they up your value ten times if you're willing to walk away from her.
its like walking away from a car salesman (or woman!)
Please don't lie. We all know that you've never had a girlfriend.
infernocanuck lol you crazy guy!
The psychology of this show what made me fall in love with it
@Spermwhale1000 Yessir
@Spermwhale1000 I agree fully👏
@Spermwhale1000 😂😂
I love the pride he has in doing so, like it actually worked.
I like how because it's a sitcom, the obvious sexual answer to "I'll do whatever you want" is something mundane like think of me...
George Costanza is the most devious character I've seen in all of TV.
One of yeah. They are all pretty awful I think he was the only one to get engaged though and he poisoned his fiance.
@@AnnaLVajda
You say that he poisoned his fiance, like he meant to do it, and we all know, that her death was an accident. I mean, George was a complete narcissistic a-hole, and there is a plethora of situations that George instigated and/or took part in that we can look at to define his character. Situations, that would turn even a seasoned criminal's stomachs, but, I don't believe that George was a cold blooded murderer.
Restrained Jubilation
"how i'm very good at going in reverse in my car" LOL
Gosh that entire episode is great
I love her face.
So I need to break up with my girl friend of 3 years to get " hand" thanks Seinfeld for all the great relationship advice, 😂
"Well live and learn" that killed me
this is amazing
this is brilliant .
Kramer nailed it, then George was well George 😂😂😂
I like how bad she burns George at then end of the episode. She breaks up with him in front of a full room and George says "but I got hand" she replies "and you're gonna need it"
Haha!
Kramer is always eating Jerry's food. Funny
I love how Jerry takes the list. He’s always curious about things. Probably why he’s such a great comedian.
Jerry at his next set: "And what's the deal with Postum?"
I thought everything was fine..
.. well, live and learn 😂😂😂😂
Great episode 👍
The premise, the writing, the acting of this -- freaking inspired. If it wasn't for that fucking Pez dispenser!
Does anyone notice how Kramer peels a banana and then proceeds to put it in a bowl and then eat out of it. Absolutely hilarious!!!!
m-m-m-must s-s-stop w-w-watching S-S-Seinfeld c-c-clips.......
resistance is fu-tile
legend says that he's still watching seinfeld clips
But he never did
" live and learn" is my new motto
honestly unforgettable 😂😂😂
George just dominated like a boss. LOve the breakup scene
Haha this having "hand" is so true
Sepand Ghanouni "I have no hand!"
@@ejones3507
Meh, that's a shame.
this is the best tvshow ever
“Well, live and learn” LMAO
George enlightment moments.🤣
LOL Kramer so crazy and left field but always on point 😁
Postum IS an underrated beverage.
Live and Learn. Classic 👍
“I like the jumble, you ever do the jumble?”
My mom loved doing the jumble, so this scene always brings a smile to my face, from having nice memories.
"All the time, I can't hear you," basically George's form of "Call me Daddy"
George was so unsmooth that he can't even try to be cool without revealing his move.
Absolutely brilliant lol
Reverse psychology at its finest. Actually it really works in real life too.
No it doesn't! ;)
@@AnnabellaRedwood it actually does
Depends on your partners' level of insecurity. I'm sure there'll be a lot of examples from people saying it either has worked for them or not. Truth is it varies from person to person, can't really state it really works unless you mean in your particular case.
It can. But don't forget this is a show. If you believe this was a smart move on George's part, you forget a few key points. One: she didn't want to break up at all, he just got insecure, leading to two: he díd have something to lose, a nice looking girlfriend. Not to mention it's a shitty move, and if she ever found out he did it júst to get out on top, she'd leave him after all. Who wants to be with someone that plays mind games like that.
In the real world, if you're a George, the best reaction you'd get is "ow wow that sucks, I'll guess I'll move on, I got ten guys waiting in line anyway". Or more likely: "Do you think you can do better, little troll?!"
@@jorgeeduardodussanvillanue46 It only works because you are actually willing to walk away. Meaning it's not a trick. If it were a trick and you tried breaking up and it actually worked, you would be incredibly sad. The idea for George is that he doesn't care anyway. He wants to leave the relationship he has no control in, unless he gains control in it. It's a win no matter how it works out. In this way, it always 'works'
"All the time?"
"Ya know..."
The pre-emptive break up. Brilliant
I always mention how I’m very good at going in reverse in my car. Makes you almost irresistible
Never listen to Kramer
Haha , not on this occasion!
in any occasions, especially the ones involving parking spots
Kramer was the only good person out of the 4.
Why? The strategy was brilliant, Elaine fucked it up.
@@Jose-se9pu Exactly what I was thinking. Kramer was the wisest of them all.
and you're gonna need it!
"These people have NAMES FOR THINGS, SITUATIONS AND PEOPLE!"~~Jackie Childs and ME
This is so funny! 🤣🤣🤣
This episode has the best ending punch line. ALmost as if they worked the episode backwards from the punch line
women in this series are just unreasonably attractive
They have such amazing hair, they look so grown up and glamorous. Similar on Frasier.
Savage power move.
True brilliance.
he says I am breaking up with you twice, but in this clip one of them is cut out, strange
+whiteshadow59 That's interesting! I can assure you it is not my cutting, but rather the TBS syndication that has caused this. I knew that they had cut some seconds of the end segment of some episodes, but did not know they had cut seconds in the middle like they have done here. Of course there is also the more notable change in aspect ratio, losing some information in the top/bottom, but getting a wider view, which is also exclusive to the TBS syndication.
it also makes the clip so much funnier when he repeats himself
He should have made her refer to him as “daddy”
If only I had watched this 3 weeks ago...!
Seinfeld show is one of the best relationship advice shows ever.
Didn't mean to hurt you kid
00:20 LOL
George always overplays his "hand".
wish this show still on tv
