I love how awkwardly tense George's interactions with the Busboy are. It felt so real and it's funny - where George starts nervously laughing over getting him fired, man Jason Alexander is a legend.
You can just see how early in the show this is seeing how George feels terrible and wants to help where towards the later seasons he wouldn’t have cared less about ruining a persons life, or even ending it for that matter.
Actually was it not this same George who felt bad for the security guard that was made to stand all day long at the clothing store? Didn't George get him a chair? That episode was in the later seasons, season seven to be exact.
@@waryaawariiri1812 True, but not because of something he personally did. He seemed to care far more about the physical comfort of people (see also: cotton baseball uniforms) than the effects of his actions.
That's so realistic for me and it adds such comedy, he doesn't speak untill his cat is gone 😂😂😂😂to me this is very real, there r people like him so believable
I love how obvious it is that not one of the three of them is actually concerned about the bus boy losing his job. Elaine and George immediately wondering if they were the one who got him fired. Jerry doesn’t care since he didn’t say anything so he knows it’s not his fault. George only goes to talk to him because he’s scared the guy may try to kill or injure him because he got him fired. It’s a bit like Sopranos at times where they remind you that these are not good people and we shouldn’t be emulating their behavior even though we like the characters.
The modern version of this today would be people who say Thoughts and Prayers on a facebook post then go right back to commenting on another attacking about political views.
How would the busboy know who George is and where he lives? Going and apologizing would be the worst thing to do if George was afraid of the busboy. If he hadn’t, how would the busboy find him in a city of millions?
I don’t know why, but George & Kramer visiting the busboy is, to me, the funniest moment in the show’s history; George’s nervousness, Kramer’s making the situation more awkward, the missing cat, etc 😂😂😂😂
Even though it's an early episode, it is also one of my favorites. There are a couple of unique things about "The Busboy". First of all. Jerry has no storyline in the episode. Secondly this was the very first episode in which two storylines converged and connected when the busboy and Elaine's friend get in to an altercation. This episode triggered the concept of each character's story intersect with other characters' stories which resulted in the uniqueness and genius of the show. So even though in contrast it's a relatively primitive example of the show it's a groundbreaking episode.
I remember from the DVD commentary how Jason Alexander mockingly commented on the actor who played the busboy and said "this guy was gonna be the next Brando".
All things considered, showing up to the busboy’s apartment was genuinely a good thing George did. Him and his friends were responsible for unintentionally getting someone fired from their job, and George feeling guilty and bad about it, made an effort to: 1. Own up to his friend’s mistakes 2. Apologize for it when he didn’t need to 3. Offer to help in any way
@@nikiyen6 I like how no one is putting blame where it needs to be.. The busboy caused a fire. It is his fault. It is not Georges fault and I doubt that was the only issue the owner had with the busboy (if this was real).
George shouldn't have mentioned the busboy starting the fire and the manager shouldn't have pointed at George but the busboy is completely at fault. Not only was he careless it seemed if the busboy had kept a cooler head with the manager he wouldn't have been fired.
Busboy should have closed the door, that's standard practice when someone enters your home. The guy is in shambles, he deserves everything that's happened to him.
One of my favorite Jerry quotes from another episode:
"The food is atrocious, but the busboys are the best in the city".
"If she splits the atom, I'll let it slide!"
@@fromthehaven94 Are you sensing anything right now?
@@chairmanmeow3693*Kramer Karate episode*
“I don’t want you here, here, or heeeere”
Such a lame thing to say
I like how George is dressed like Kevin from Home Alone when visiting the busboy.
I love how awkwardly tense George's interactions with the Busboy are. It felt so real and it's funny - where George starts nervously laughing over getting him fired, man Jason Alexander is a legend.
I'm surprised George didn't knock over tables and old ladies to escape the fire.
it was probably the same size
I loved the busboy actor's performance in this! Over the top but just right for Seinfeld. The casting director _and_ David Labiosa were spot-on!
That guy is so funny! Would have loved to see a lot more of him!
'Who.................left ..........the door......OPEN" ! ?
Scarface
Yeah, that stance by the busboy. So proud; chest out, shoulders square, shirt tucked in and no belt. 😂
0:57 Jerry is my whole mood just mind my business 🤣🤣🤣

Funny how age and disappointment make us bitter lol
George was still like that, in later seasons
@@waryaawariiri1812 True, but not because of something he personally did. He seemed to care far more about the physical comfort of people (see also: cotton baseball uniforms) than the effects of his actions.
The same with Two an half men Alan
JERRY: Everybody's moving to Seattle.
GEORGE: It's the pesto of cities.
He was more upset about losing his cat than his job.
I would too
Eh, I thought it was about equal
sounds right to me
That's so realistic for me and it adds such comedy, he doesn't speak untill his cat is gone 😂😂😂😂to me this is very real, there r people like him so believable
You can have a bad job but not a bad cat.
Jerry conscious all in the clear "I didn't say nothing" 😂
2:28 The way the busboy is standing is HILARIOUS
Kramer left the door open. And in a way it is smart, in case of things going wrong, they can escape quicker or yell out.
I take it you did prison time.
@@vanessapierce231 Nah, he's just following one of the Zombieland rules. 'Keep an exit free.' You never know when you'll need to make a quick getaway.
Love how they never fail to carelessly frustrate the lives of whomever they are near.

You are very analytical.

No, George genuinely feels bad here, he had a different interpretation of the character in the early episodes.
How would the busboy know who George is and where he lives? Going and apologizing would be the worst thing to do if George was afraid of the busboy. If he hadn’t, how would the busboy find him in a city of millions?

This was back when Kramer was more like a normal stoner.
La puerta esta abierta😆😆!!
Classic line
3:09 genius how Kramer breaks this ackwardly tense moment asking how to say waterbed in Spanish 😂😂😂😂
"Deeply, deeply sorry I am about everything. The job, the cat.. (A lamp breaks) the lamp."
😆
Would love to see the busboy takes care of Cedric and Bob.
Pretty sure the busboy and bob are related
@@Spabsa I hope not!
Wasn't the bus boy at the ribbon walk and was siding with Cedric and Bob. I could be wrong
@@hancowman7622 going off memory, I’m 99% sure he isn’t. But thanks for bringing that episode up. I’m gonna watch it again.
Lol street tuffs
Kramer left the door open!
Usually George runs out the door and runs over the kids when he even sniffs fire.
4:44 I love how Kramer looks at George like it’s his fault.
It was actually Kramer! Kramer left the door open, not George.
Kramer was the last one through the door. So it was Kramer who left the door open.
One of my favorites. The bus boy

I preferred George’s reaction to the fire in his girlfriend’s unit
" A lot of ex cons become busboys." That's the spirit of Jerry Seinfeld talking.
A lot of ex-cons gravitate toward being busboys.
Fellow Jew here.
You meant that's Jerry Seinfeld talking. Easy mistake.
La puerta está abierta.
¡¡¡LA PUERTA ESTÁ ABIERTA!!!
Who left the door open?
WHO….left…. the DOOR…. OPEN?
Come on! Come on! Help me look!
Cama de aqua.
La puerta esta abierta.
LA PUERTA ESTA ABIERTA!!!
First semester Spanish recitation. Oh, memories!
I remember from the DVD commentary how Jason Alexander mockingly commented on the actor who played the busboy and said "this guy was gonna be the next Brando".
It's true though. ..like some Erik Estrada/Marlon Branco combination. =D Julia would make fun of Michael's Spanish pronunciations too... "aaagua".
I mean.. he was clearly going for Brando's "Streetcar Named Desire" character so it was a pretty appropriate wry joke on Jason's part

George could've just said the menu caught fire. He didn't have to mention the busboy.
And bring KRAMER to ( deja la puerta abierta ) And lose pepita 👍🏻🤣🤣🤣😂

@@colyhope6467 .... 🤔 butttttttttttt, it was worth every well performed moment 🤣😂🤣.....
Kramer's inability to close doors lead to Jerry getting robbed and the busboy losing his cat.
I’m not fond of pesto either so George is in good company.
Used in the right places though, it is amazing. Like on a thin crust pizza.
Pesto is crack idk what you're on about
Pesto is amazing
This is one of my favorite Seinfeld scenes. The busboy was hilarious. The actor played it really well.
How did George and Kramer find out where the busboy lives. Ah, the dark side of the script never reveals its secrets.
Elaine found the address. She said she used her charm.
Why does the busboy actor look like Fez's father?
Probably a similar ethnicity
Both of them have bulges for days.
I too thought of Fez when I saw the busboy. 🤗
The one guy who can say his experience with this friend group worked out positively
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐the best episode of Seinfeld ever.
George whispering at 4:54 lol
That busboy is packing some heat. 😳
He is kinda cute 😳
@@ryukomatoi592 Agreed!!
@@michaelbeaudoin1518 i have a weakness for Hispanic men
I'd tap that.
It's like watching a young Erik Estrada trying to channel a young Marlon Brando.
I can see that. Dos mujeres un camino.
Jason Alexander can act the HECC out of anxiety.
Why is nobody talking about Jerry apparently eating a giant plate of ham slices?
No way they could have found a better actor for the role of Antonio! Spectacular performance 💯
0:56
I've always hated that jump cut where Jerry's holding the spoon and the next frame he's breaking bread. It just looks like a bad continuity cut.
finally some stuff from the 1st two years.
The bus boy reminds me of boxer Hector Camacho! Lol
I have to leave. If I don’t feed Pequita by 7 she goes everywhere.
Hahahahahahaha.
Me: who did leave the door open? rewind to see who leaves the door open........
"Who left the door open...."
Jerry gaslighting George’s mind is the best thing ever 😂😂😂
Whoever first wrote the sentence, “He stuck out his chest”, must have got it from el hombre here.
No surprise Kramer left the door open.
What was George thinking bringing him along? 🤦
When I was a wee, I crushed on the busboy.
Elaine was such a beauty
Ladies and gentlemen, the beginning of George Costanza’s demise.
How is this George fault? If he had ignore the fire the busboy still would be fired
Pesto is awesome!
Jimmy Pesto is better
Dat barrel chest though
I lost it when the Busboy said Who left the door Open died when Kramer and George looked at each Other
Paquitaaaa!
These Seinfeld clips are way too addicting
La puelta (puerta) esta abielta (abierta)puertorican spanish jeje
La Puerta esta Abierta
the busboy left the puerta abierta
Elaine got the busboy fired. Kramer left the door open.
¡LA PUERTA ESTA ABIERTA!
The way he says it with such gusto has me dead!
Oh man this busboy and George´s story with him is so funny! LOL
I consider it Seinfeld's best episode.
I love how Kramer is wearing a Harley-Davidson shirt
Amsterdam Ave uptown was an unrenovated tenement area in 1992, people forget.
I love how Jerry exploits George's insecurities and cowardness
4:00 - 4:06 WHAT THE HECK DID HE SAID?!
They took away his job, his cat, and dirty his glasses. Didn't ask anything in return
Kramer also broke his lamp.
Kramer left the door open! 😂😂😂😂😂
Who else? 🤨
4:35 “Who let the dogs out?”
LA PUELTA ESTÁ ABIELTA!!
Funny reaction of all when they see the busboy is in trouble 🤣
It's interesting how pesto has popularity in waves, about 4 years it was all the rage everywhere
¿donde esta mi gato?
So dang funny 🤣👍❤️
The bus boy died twice 😂
La puerta…esta… ABIERTA!
WHO LEFT THE DOOR OPEN?? 4:40 4:41
What’s the busboy saying in Spanish? 4:01
I forgot about this episode
It's your apartment, Pedro.
@2:34 and @4:17 am I the only one that caught the "package" on the busboy? Those jeans are tight and can certainly see everything!
You are not alone. Such a gifted actor. 😉
La extra Rico suave touch.
🤣🤣. I played it back a couple of times.
@@maxinef6654 😜
What a depressing apt
I’m eating pesto right now it’s pretty good 😂 🍝
Dann I'm jelly
Same, pesto is awesome
Jimmy Pesto is better
I like it on grilled chicken with fresh mozzarella
this scene is how i first became interested in the spanish language . i never forget como se dece, or la puerta esta abierta
A lady in the audience has the loudest laugh 😂
LA PUERTA ESTA ABIERTA
Cómo se dice “waterbed”?.
This is really funny because “la puerta esta abierta “ rhymes in Spanish and you don’t hear it often but when Yu do Yu can’t help Lough
Where was pesto ten years ago...... Italy probably
The pacing on these early seasons just feels…off. They hit their stride by S3-4.
Agreed. I still like season 2 though lol.
Busboy should have closed the door, that's standard practice when someone enters your home. The guy is in shambles, he deserves everything that's happened to him.
