What a great episode. It shows the high level of creativity of the Seinfeld team. These could have been three separate great episodes. The voice, the assistant and the job would be great storylines on their own.
Are you implying that one isn't supposed to see the undershirt through the unbuttoned top of the dress shirt? Because I thought the whole idea of the undershirt was to be there to prevent a healthy tuft of chest hair from emerging.
@@danthemankhan Darrin's shirt is buttoned all the way up and he's wearing a necktie. But his shirt is too big and/or he didn't get the proper neck size so the undershirt is still exposed. Also, i thought the purpose of an undershirt was to prevent sweat stains, or to provide some opaqueness if your dress shirt is white and perhaps a bit sheer. If one's chest hair is that unruly, they should do some grooming to accommodate their wardrobe.
This actually happened at our old school. Our principal couldn't fire us so she made our year miserable so that we'd quit and she can hire younger "malleable" teachers. The main victims were those who were either placed by the district, people she felt were competition to the male teachers she liked, or those who had different ideas than hers. That involved yelling at us during meetings, ripping our posters down, and denying PTOs. I created a cute welcome poster for the kids and I saw it in my mailbox the next morning crushed. She was fired last year after finally being caught of abusing teachers and other illegal stuff.
I understand this may have been a long time ago, but to those in a similar position, look into "constructive discharge" or "resignation under duress." With enough proof, especially testimony, you can sue for wrongful termination and or hostile work environment.
It was starting to run on fumes in the back half of S9 I think but it never got bad aside from the finale, there's plenty to like in S8 and S9. Jerry Seinfeld was right to turn down a tenth season.
I always questioned why they had to honor the contract when George clearly was in violation of it given he was faking being handicapped. Hilarious episode either way.
He never told them that he was handicapped. He had a genuine injury that they mistook for a permanent disability. He only starts faking it after he is hired and he realizes why they are so nice to him. He did not request any of the perks. If he shows up to the office and does the work they assign him, then he is not in violation of his contract. They want to get rid of him because of private behaviour that does not affect his work performance. He is actually the victim of constructive dismissal because they deliberately are worsening his working conditions to get him to quit. We want to side with the company because we know that George is a bad person but from a legal and ethical point of view they are the bad guys in this scenario.
I've been in this exact situation with my first job after graduating from my masters degree. Squeezed every penny possible out of them before I accepted to leave on mutual terms.

This such a testament to Seinfeld’s greatness. Pretty much every episode had multiple fantastic storylines like the ones featured in this clip.
And somehow they connect at the end.
It's actually kinda insane how practically every episode is famous in it's own right.
