"My name is George, I am unemployed and live at home with my parents" The greatest pickup line of all time.
i tried it once, got laughed at
it is now because of seinfeld, in the real world they look for a cop.
curt chrisensen. you'd be less of a threat with a library card than a badge.
It'd never work, they want the $$$
Curt Christensen as long as you don’t have any overdue books. Don’t want Bookman coming after you
Jason Alexander was the only one of the main four characters never awarded an Emmy. Ironically, he was probably the most talented actor among the four.
One of the best roles I've ever seen him in was the 1981 slasher horror movie the Burning. He has a full head of hair and the movie is pretty cheesey but got good centerpiece kills.
Bill Oakley ..... That's a travesty !!!
He's a bit smarmy and over acty like .... can't remember her name but we all hate her..
Not probably. He was.
The nominators were biased against Jason Alexander in this case because they didn't find George as likable as the other characters and they thought of George as playing "himself." But they failed to recognize that playing such a character and making him funny is actually more demanding than the roles of the others and Alexander was almost always funny and rarely too pathetic in his "loser" persona.
"If every instinct that you have is wrong, then the opposite must be right" is one of the greatest Seinfeld quotes 😂😂
@@alfa-psi Your mother was a mudder
It's a philosophy I can embrace
I admire George's willingness to change.
It's the Summer of George!
But what did have to lose?
@@04dram04 that doesn't make sense
i've tried this line and it works. but it's awkward later when they find out my name isn't George.
:-D Ha,ha, a good one!
Well-played, indeed.
Why not just use the line with your real name?
🤣🤣🤣
@@emmaray6215 because he has been burned and is now in Miami trying to find the people who did this to him.
George dates so many good looking women.
MetalmaT that plain jane who died from licking envelopes was no catch.
+Alex 10,000 That's why the producers thought she was "wife material"
Victoria had to be in the top 3.
Susan was a babe.
Remember Christine Miller. He dated her. Then she went on to the Drew Carey Show. I don't remember her character name.
I've tried doing "the opposite" many times. It's hard to stick to, but it's fun while it lasts.
So what were the results? :)
I was at a dance club in the 80's & this real hotie blonde was dancing around next to the rail of a hall way. I was gonna ask her to dance. Which is my normal. I was a athletic skinny balding guy in his early 20's. She saw me walking her way & I was probably 15 feet from her & she locked on to my eyes & started shaking her head no!!! I thought fast & kept walking by her into the mens bathroom. When I came out she smirked at me & said you were gonna ask me to dance (then a little laugh came out) I said what are you talking about I had to use the bathroom hence that is why I am just walking out of the bathroom. Why would I want to ask you to dance. I started to walk off. She ran in front of me & said you want to dance with me. At this point I figured she was testing me. So I said nah I have a beer waiting for me & walked to where my beer was. Well after a few minutes she came over & said how dare I. I said dare I what? Can you just leave me alone. Well a slow song came on & she grabbed my hand & pulled me out to the dance floor wrapping her arms around me & pressing two glorious globes into my chest. I banged her for about a year until she moved across the country.
BBBYpsi. Somehow, I doubt that story
Women are weird that way so it is more than likely true
BBBYpsi Wow that's some hard banging to move her that far! 😜
30 years later and still a fantastic show
30 years?! Damn man. Damn.
This show is timeless.
@@scathexz Absolutely
The turn from George at the end is comedy gold. He just looks away like “Wtf this shit actually works? The hell is going on?” And then the transition from that just cracks me up every time
He just tested, with positive results, an amazing idea.
One of many reasons why George is one of the greatest sitcom characters of all time.
Yes, and still J.A. never got an Emmy.
They should cancel the whole award.
#Emmysohairy...
leafyutube amen. I heard Jason Alexander is in a wheelchair. Yeah, he broke his back carrying Seinfeld for years.
leafyutube Larry.. George is based on Larry.
absolutely agree
This was a monumental moment in the show, the paradigm shift if you could call it that, the first time George didn’t lie to a woman, George does the opposite of everything he would normally do, it’s like he opened up the portal to an alternate universe.
Love how he chewed Steinbrenner out and his reaction of "HIRE THIS MAN!" Makes me laugh every time
That’s my favorite moment in the series.
Victoria gets George his job with the NY Yankees. I love when George tells the "opposite" to Steinbrenner (voiced by Larry David). "Hire this man!"
BigBadBrad My favorite scene.
Holy shite... thank you for blessing this fact upon me
And sadly, Victoria, appears in a couple of other scenes and is never seen again.
@@iknowyou393 because she probably fucking killed herself
George Steinbrenner... What a character. Larry David is a freaking genius
"My name is George... I'm unemployed and I live with my parents."
"I'm Victoria. Hi" ^_^ lol
Hilarious
And it led to a job with Yankees.
John Van Hof ... Deedee Pfeiffer. Michelle's cuter sister.
@@JW...-oj5iw yeah I thought that was her. Does a great job also as a fast food waitress in Falling Down
I have used this to pick up chicks it's funny
Because of this George was hired with the Yankees. They quickly became a dynasty.
Yankee fans should eat chicken salad for every meal.
"Yankee fans should eat chicken salad for every meal" --> *and a cup of TEA, heheh!*
I do.... LOL
"Elaine, bald men, with no jobs, and no money, who live with their parents, don't approach strange women"
@ColoredSpaces
Jason Robinhood since when?
But they eat out everyday? Lol
Haha
It worked!!! Love it.
@@Jgm-gm9wi It looks umemployment benefits are quite good in US . In Estonia it is 189 euros in month ( ca 200 dollars ). Person can hardly pay for electricity and heating and eat the cheapest home cooked meals for that money . But usually people find occasional unofficial work and pay ,about which unemplyoment office does not know . Eating out in diner ( or pub) is quite expensive .Nice stake with potatos + dessert + coffee cost al least 12 euros, if you want a beer too it could be 20 euros . But we dont have to pay enormous tips like in US, usually we tip 10 % of the bill . Some customers dont tip even that and noone is offended .
His slow head turn towards his friends at the end....pinnacle of genius.
Jack Benny (sp?) callback.
It’s almost like he found the most powerful cheat code ever.
it's because he was blunt and straight to the point. he didn't try to hide the fact he has faults. as a woman i would be intrigued by this honesty, i want know more. go on
You officially have won the Internet with your comment.
Victoria was played by Dedee Pfeiffer, Michelle's sister.
i knew i had seen that family resemblance somewhere.
Nice.
I thought she looked familiar, I mainly remember her from playboy
she played in the legendary fastfood scene in falling down.
Huh !
If every instinct you've ever had is wrong then the opposite would have to be right. lol
Good for the tuna
A quote that Andy could use as well
A legendary scene in a legendary episode on the best show ever.This scene also has the smartest lines ever written for any show.
Agreed...they caught lightening in a bottle for sure...
Glen Benton 9
TheJimmy It helped me so much to learn how to speak up. I first saw it when I was 10 and it first aired on TV. It helped me accept myself and speak my truth instead of hiding it away. The first episode I had seen was the shrinkage one but this one made me a fan till the end.
Totally agree!
This and Frasier are my favorites, they're not just for pure laughs, they're witty and insightful funny
The funny thing is, George being upfront about being unemployed and living with his parents is not a bad idea. Owning who you are and being honest makes you a lot more attractive.
That amount of courage is enticing. It can show such confidence a woman had to see more. Obviously he will need to find work, but with that much blunt honesty and lack of fear… go.
Elaine being supportive is so adorable..
Love the look on George's face when he looks around at the end, clearly thinking, "I can't believe that worked" :-)
The way George looks back - *LOL!*
One of my favorite scenes in the the whole series. George was by far my favorite character.
This is only second to his telling off Steinbrenner and getting a position. “Hire this man!”
That look of 'How the hell can this line work with ANY woman?'
Twilight Zone moment...
Gerty
It's because she sees they have similar taste in food by ordering the same lunch, and then intrigued by his confidence...
The Power of Confidence...
Because it’s a fictional show. It’s a common thing in many shows where the plain or ugly guy can somehow date or marry beautiful women.
The reason usually being 1) eye candy 2) if you are gonna hire an actress why not a pretty one?
@@Rushinator1 yeah, like she's out of my league
It's fantasy, and it sells
Rushinator1 you ever watch girls? Or any Amy Schumer movie? It’s the same thing. I think it’s actors want to secretly get to be with a hot person and not get called a creep or shallow!
George Costanza : one of the greatest comic characters ever created. Can’t imagine anyone but Jason Alexander in that role. Iconic.
well considering the character is based on Larry David...
@@awakeinsdand you can watch how Larry Davis is acting as George in Curb your enthusiasm
This is comedy on expert level
This may be the best episode in all of Seinfeld. Certainly the most philosophical!
The kenny rogers episode is up there too!
This episode is even better than The Contest.
The Outing is the best. They make of political correctness
It is my favorite episode.
My favorite for sure.
"If every instinct you have is wrong then the opposite would have to be right" 🖤
Love how Jerry always plays along. This opposite thing is actually his idea lol.
Luckily for George she was also doing the opposite thing.
Hahaha, you said it.
Well the female equivalent would be that she was really 50 years old, overweight and toothless, just pretending to be a smokin hot blonde.
😂
@ And that's what she went with.
Yeah, normally he's not her type, but she overheard that entire conversation and decided to play along.
George Constanza is probably one of the best characters ever created.
Best. Seinfeld. Episode. EVER. The genius here is next-level shit.
There were some good ones.
The Hand Model/low talker
The Roomate switch
The Second spitter/Keith Hernandez
@@jamesanthony5681 The Roomate switch
was 4D chess level shit
@@jamesanthony5681 the episodes' titles as follows:
The Puffy Shirt
The Switch
The Boyfriend
@@saulgoodman5494 Thanks.
My favorite show EVER!! This show helps me a lot with what I’ve been dealing with all depression and anxiety 👍
Omar Cano Leija *Potrillo* Hang in there bud! We’re all in this together
The way he just slowly looks back at his friends was magnificent
"My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents." BIG laugh. Comedy Gold.
"I'm Victoria. Hi!" BIGGER laugh. Out of the park.
You know it's funny when the extras can't hold their laughter
Who couldn't hold their laughter ? Who are you referring to ?
That’s just the laugh track
Kevin So, a live audience was present during the scenes that consisted of the actors being outside?
@@mohiabro Checkout the waitress with the boy cut after Victoria says hi. She couldn't stay in character and was laughing throughout the entire exchange.
@@themagnoliaproject864 maybe she was in character...wouldn't you laugh if you were a waitress and overheard that bit?
There used to be a little coffee shop near downtown that served "the Victoria."
It was chicken salad on rye with potato salad and hot tea.
That's gold!!! Do they sell roundtine? ;)
Cuomo and Deblasio probably put them out of business.
@@chewy98ta28 Or maybe, ya know, the pandemic?
@@DaveOJ pandemics dont take away ppls freedom. tyrants do, like trump and cuomo
A restaurant near me actually had a nicely framed print of George's "Timeless Art of Seduction" photo hanging in the Ladies room!
That's Dedee Pfeiffer, Michelle's sister.She was in the movie Falling Down.
Whammy Burger
Ahhh Falling Down. What a classic
Another commenter already mentioned this.
@@not-so-smartaleck8987
So it got mentioned again. So what.
Dave G I can see why Michelle is the famous one because that DeeDee is looking very basic
Is there a man on the planet that doesn't want to meet a Victoria at least one time in his life?
women are not loveable, they're leaveable. if you go up and do consistently the same to 100 women in a row, one or two will actually go for it
There’s Victoria and then there’s Vicky. BIG difference!
@@calviincalifornia4048 yes and then if you're the kind of guy that asks out 100 women in a row you complete your date by leaving their ravaged corpse in a dumpster
@@calviincalifornia4048 Wow, you seem like someone women are missing out on.
@@calviincalifornia4048 that happens quite often to men, and probably more often to women, who get jaded and just give up. I remember watching an advice show, lady was telling others you don't find a good husband, you make a good husband. The same could be said of a lot of woman, if they're willing and motivated.
I love that telling the truth is the opposite of what he’d normally do.
Man, this show never gets old.
LOVE LOVE this actress. (Dedee Pfeiffer, Michelle's younger sister) AND the slow "Jack Benny" turn at the end.
A lot of people forget that she worked at the Whammyburger in Falling Down 😄
Victoria is so beautiful. George had nothing to lose & he won! Just the opposite for most guys. Lol
this is one of my all time favorite scenes from Seinfeld
The look that Jason Alexander gives at the end is priceless, where you can almost read his thoughts: "What else might go right by doing the opposite of my inclinations?"
*We should come up with an "Opposite Day" every year, to do everything we never do*
ua-cam.com/video/ZcRYnmYJNHc/v-deo.html
That's a fantastic idea!
So I will have sex that day. So much sex.
It’s Sheila from Michael Douglas’s Falling Down! “I realize you stopped service breakfast Rick. Sheila here told me you stopped serving breakfast.” 😂
"Salmon swim against the current" LMAO 😂
Elaine's best hairstyle ever. Plus some side acting from Julia L. Dreyfuss. Watch how she drinks her coffee.
The look that George gives when she responds to his pickup line is just priceless - he has found an unknown treasure and the sacred knowledge of all times! Thank you, Jason Alexander, for another extraordinary performance!
We always give credit to the characters Jerry, George, and Elaine. However, shout out to the lady that is always at the cash register, and pretends to look busy every time. Does a great job every episode.
Jerry's been trolling George since they were teenagers and this is the only time it's paid off
"There's no telling what can happen from this" He literally gets a job with the Yankees because of that lunch order lmao
I have never been on George's side but whoever wrote this episode was a Genius.
"I'm unemployed and live with my parents"
Before 2020: funny and red flag
After 2020: Relatable to millions of both men and women after COVID
@Noah Levine Dummy.
That's how he landed the Yankee job.
So how did it go with gorgeous Victoria?
+Anur I. The same as it goes for George with all women (except Susan)--nowhere.
STEINBRENNER: Nice to meet you!
GEORGE: Well, I wish I could say the same...
😂
@@not-so-smartaleck8987 How did it end, or do they mention this at all?
Sweet Jesus, Dedee Pfeiffer was incredibly hot back in the day.
Indeed
Not necessarily the 'opposite', but I've followed a similar program and it's making a massive difference.
This episode change the show so much...got George hired with the Yankees and will never think of Steinbrener the same way!
This ranks right up there with Saul Goodman getting lucky with a woman because he told her he was Kevin Costner.
Fun Fact: that actress is Deedee Pfeiffer, sister of Catwoman herself, Michelle Pfeiffer.
The mans laugh at the end is so priceless. And all the women in the scene smiling so goofily. Love it.
You are sooooo right. It just adds another level of funny!
Yep one of the few times the laugh track worked well
You know Elaine deserves a lot of credit for encouraging George to go up to her. She's always portrayed as disliking George but she often helps him out a lot.
That line works guys. No joke. I at one time was unemployed and lived with my parents an told a woman that. Yep went out with her.
@@Erixon55 to be fair, your dates weren't on her level
It was probably disarming. Doesn't work all the time though. I did see another guy at a bar once who tried a similar line and the girl turned around and started talking to the guy next to him without even missing a beat.
George my hero. I can so relate to him in certain situations.
That's Sheila. She used to work at Whammy Burgers. She served Michael Douglas once. :D
"Falling Down". I love that movie.
Oh yeah good job that's where I've seen her
JabberCT She's a hot MILF now!
Thank God for that.
That’s Dedee Pfeiffer, Michelle’s younger sister.
George is so relatable, holy fuck...
unemployed
lives with parents
low self esteem
short
I am basically him
I need to do the opposite of staying up all night heating junk food during the day and generally being unproductive with my time.
One of my favorite clips of all time.
"My name is George, I am unemployed and live at home with my parents"
2019: STRANGER DANGER!
I once used a very similar line on a girl at the beach in 2002. I was 35, unemployed, and lived in my mom's basement. It worked. We ended together for a couple years.
that blonde is gorgeous!!!
So that's what I've been doing wrong, all of my adult life. _"Hellooo, Victoria!"_
Should be mandatory viewing for all dating coaches.
"and a cuppa tea!.. hehe". Love it
i just love the bewildered look on George's face when it actually got a response from her lol
He found a major cheat code.
"Holy crap, it's working. Quick, keep going!"
"Salmon swims against the current and Tuna swims with it" This is what writing means. Only possible in Seinfeld
Absolute class. Great upload, thanks.
I am George. We are all George😂
With the possible exception of the Magic Loogie speech delivered by Jerry, this was by far the best bit in the entire Seinfeld series. It was also the best pick-up line of all time.
One of the greatest, most well-written scenes in television history.
That look on his face after she says" I'm Victoria, Hi" is priceless.
'Oh hi I am George and am unemployed ' lmfao. I could feel and relate oh so much to his hurt. I wonder if this is Larry David's pen or Seinfeld's cos neither one of them is a loser.
*George and Cosmo were the true stars of this show, hands down.*
Loved this show, I think its time to dig out the box set again. Breathtaking.
good for the tuna
Pretty accurate for most people. Our instincts usually guide us the path of safety but, as the saying goes, fortune favours the brave.
It's funny how subtle the show can be - Elaine is all dolled up in this clip, but ends up looking like George by the end, and Jerry is wearing virtually the same thing (even Steven)
This is Jason Alexander's best episode of the series IMO. Its also my favorite episode about George.
what about the summer of george?
@@arjunrk4573 that was good episode too. However, the Opposite is my favorite cuz things worked his way 4 the first time.
@@ghanasoul there's a video on UA-cam where Larry David tries to play george on set and Jason is teaching him how to do it.
Dedee Pfeiffer is gorgeous
Chairman Meow any relation to michelle?
The Swinging Door - yes, Michelle’s younger sister and extremely sweet. Met her on two occasions while I was a waiter, couldn’t be nicer.
alfa-psi when asking the question, I don't think i thought "wow I'm really curious, im just burning inside to know if they're related, man i really really need to know this"
gdoumerc1984 Wow thats pretty cool
Yeah. Her sister is reasonably not unattractive as well.
the look on his face is like , Is this really happening right now ? so funny !
This is hands down the best Seinfeld episode ever. So many twists and turns, and opposites. George actually gets a few victories. Win one for us "commoners".
He got a Victoria in this scene
The greatest scene Jason Alexander will ever do. Getting tossed off the roof of a 40 story building.
This might be the best episode of the whole damn series. And that's saying a lot because this show was bloody magnificent.
Tied with the marine biologist
the moment of self awareness is everything.
my name is George, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents. The delivery. I absolutely love George Costanza
