They did get it right... abstinence will make you smarter, but the point is you can't obsess over it. The point of abstaining is freeing your mind from the distraction of constantly obsessing over it.
Jerry is low key Batman, he knows the strengths and weaknesses of all his teammates and he was the first person to realize that George is smart when he isn't occupied by chasing booty lol.
The "bit" with the head of Lettuce was Spot On Hilarious! Love how George used his intelligence one last time to calculate the odds of ever having sex with a Portuguese Waitress and realizing that mathematically he had to GO ALL IN....You wonder if Elaine had done this with Puddy, he might have been a Genius! LOLOLOL Cheers To The Seinfeld Universe
Fr. I tried going without (both masturbation and sex) for about 6 months before. There were several psychological changes, but nothing life changing. Took Adderall for the first time only a few months later. That 24 hours was more profound than any day I was in abstinence.
What is a base guitar? I have heard the bass guitar before, a favorite instrument of mine. Are you being funny, do you really think that it is a base guitar? Wow?
3:40 Fun fact, George is reading "Chaos and Fractals: New Frontiers of Science" and wanted something to tell out of this book. Also the comment "fascinating turn of events" is his different view on the world, because he read the book.
i've just started watching the series recently, and it's very strange to see these clips from later seasons; George was a fairly intelligent guy in the first/second seasons, now he comes off as an idiot basically. He was also slimmer, almost kinda handsome. Kramer also seems a bit different. But anyway, I absolutely love the series so far (will finish the second season soon), it's just interesting to catch glimpses of how the characters (d)evolved.
2:54 I never noticed that there were young kids in the walking shots of the Tom's Restaurant. Imagine growing up and seeing yourself on the most famous show ever! :D
“A simple joke from a simple man.”

Thanks for pointing it out. I never noticed that.
Hidden gem in the hidden gem is that “ensalada” is Spanish. The Portuguese word is “salada”.
Yeah and he just HAD to have that big salad!
Haha then he just walks out without eating or paying for it
@@n8archy121 I thought he was ordering for Alanine (she always got the big salad) not himself.

I thought salad was salada. He said uma “salala”. Idk what that is
worst portuguese pronunciation I've ever heard, which makes it even funnier

Biggest mystery is how George was able to attract this many attractive ladies in this show.
It was the 90s, women standards weren't that high.
He is more attractive than Jerry
He is actually quite good looking.
because George can be highly intelligent and charismatic at times
@@senister14 Exactly.
“Mathematically I had to do it” 😂😂
The greatest show ever. Will never be surpassed!
This is far and away my favorite episode. If only abstinence actually made you smarter…
Fr. I tried going without (both masturbation and sex) for about 6 months before. There were several psychological changes, but nothing life changing. Took Adderall for the first time only a few months later. That 24 hours was more profound than any day I was in abstinence.
Yep, I hve had "Involuntary Abstinence". Doesn't make you smarter. I could only really focus about 1 thing . . . 😞
Probably more focused than smarter. After a while, esp after the 6 week mark the sharp focus edge wears off significantly and it flatlines
In my experience it makes you more driven, i.e. focus on bettering one's career, fitness etc. Not at all smarter.
"Take me to your leader" lmao 🤣
“Simple joke, from a simple man”. Cracks me up 😂
Jerry's sudden realization is HILARIOUS hahaha!
"of course...absolute zero !"
Great episode !
I love that he’s just playing around with a microscope
When Jerry uses the head of iceberg lettuce to describe George's brain, we couldn't stop laughing.
One of my favorite episodes proving the later seasons could strike comedy gold! We all need a wingman like the mighty costanza!
2:49 Man that base guitar is Great
0 bass guitars were harmed in Seinfeld. It's actually a keyboard programmed to sound bass guitar-ish.
What is a base guitar? I have heard the bass guitar before, a favorite instrument of mine. Are you being funny, do you really think that it is a base guitar? Wow?
This is basically the plot of Limitless except no pill needed
it's one of the best ideas in the history of the show. just brilliant!
“It’s good to have you back…”
Priceless 🤣
"I don't wanna be one of those guys"
"What guys?"
"Like us"
"Yeah"
One of my favorite exchanges of the series.
🤣🤣🤣
Reminds me of when Kramer burned down the Ross' cabin.
George: We could build a cabin like (snaps) THAT!
Jerry: Well, maybe not us but two MEN could!
@@BDUBZ49 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"We're not men...."
"No, we are not!"
This is one of the best episode of the entires series.
You missed one of the best lines: "So, how long is this not going to be a problem for me?" 0:13
As a native Portuguese speaker, what George spoke was anything but portuguese. But the waitress spoke perfectly.
The accent? It sounded like Italian.
I'll translate for you, 2 coffees and a big salad. Again with the Big Salad!
He didn't study it.He picked it up that superior human.
Hartmann...that's Northern Portugal? Sim?
Well since George is such a phony, that isn't surprising is it?
2:14 One funny detail is that George orders a BIG SALAD in portuguese 😂
Hearing George say “Euclidean geometry” is something I never knew I needed
3:40 Fun fact, George is reading "Chaos and Fractals: New Frontiers of Science" and wanted something to tell out of this book. Also the comment "fascinating turn of events" is his different view on the world, because he read the book.

George learned more during that temporary sexless phase than the thirty something years up to that point.

This is true and inevitable for any long running series.
Yeah, he was woody allen at first.
Hey… you missed the part where George explains to Jeter and Bernie on how to hit a baseball using physics.
"hey we won the world series" "...in six games"
The "I hate you" after she breaks up with him was so perfect. It was just absolute art, damn this show was a medical miracle.
"There was a pretty good chance I was never gonna have sex again anyway..."
So real
I like George's proud lil head tilt when Jerry says he's pulled an astounding amount from such a small amount of brain power.
2:54 I never noticed that there were young kids in the walking shots of the Tom's Restaurant. Imagine growing up and seeing yourself on the most famous show ever! :D
“It’s good to have you back!” Jerry not being that comfortable with Intelligent George 😂
The George/Elaine opposite duality in this show is so perfect
George coming down just to tell Jerry about the Portuguese waitress gets me everytime
This was one of my favorite episodes. Very well done.
"Mathematically, I had to do it"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Hey kids, why do they call it homework? Youre not working on your home!" "BOOO"

It's good to have you back.😂
LOL I love how he referenced the big salad in Portuguese
He just did the opposite, instead of obsessing about sex he obsessed about science. Opposite George is best George
Another data point in favor of the theory that he should always do the opposite of his instincts.
Opposite + Bad Boy + Absient George would be ultimate George
The origin of the Thinktank from Voyager right here folks.
This is where he became an intergalactic clever person!
Jerry should've looked at George and said "What did you do!!!!" when he found out George lost his intellect, like humanity depended on it.

George ordering the big salad in portuguese and putting so much emphasis on BIG cracked me up more than it should. The man and his big salads I swear.
