I once went into a job interview and pulled out my wallet to verify my Social insurance number (I didn't know it by heart) and the hiring manager burst out laughing hysterically which, at first, had me kind of confused, he then apologized and told me that my wallet reminded him of George Costanza's wallet from 'Seinfeld'. I had shit in there ranging from pepper packets, McDonald's coffee stamps, long expired grocery store coupons, and a small funny shaped rock lol
lol. He keeps trying and trying, FIGHTING for a normal life. And every single time, he keeps failing. Always manages to keep it together, but always fails at everything else. One of the greatest shows of all time, lol.
Joao Martins wish Larry had just said "do it as me" from the beginning...watching all the reruns lately, no doubt it was tamer at the beginning, the show as a whole, then it exploded, then it kind of whimpered a bit as it came to close without David for the most part..I know that's the conventional wisdom, but I think it's true here...I wonder if people had to vote for the early years vs. the late years which they would take?
My friend's dad's wallet is so huge he has to unravel two thick large rubber bands just to get into it. He takes forever to pay a check at a restaurant.
I just started watching this show for the first time a few months ago, even though I first saw this clip over a decade ago. Can’t wait to get to it for real!
+UnbelievablyGauche I wonder if they had to try out a bunch of different "poof" sounds til they found the perfect one. Which they did. It makes me laugh every time.
Well to be fair, George likely didn't have a lot of cash in his wallet. Other than that Irish money, it was probably mostly full of receipts, the Exxon Tiger poster card, Sweet n' Lows and even some hard candy 😂
@@vampurile that's not irony. A wallet is more likely to rupture if trying to hold items like hard candy and sweet n low packets; not paper bills, which it's made for. That's the opposite of irony.
George: I needed it! My back is...a little tweaked. Jerry: Because of your giant wallet, just get rid of it! George: Never! It is a part of me. I will just return the chair and it will be easy because the receipt is in my good friend. Jerry: Your good friend is morbidly obese.
That wallet really did give him back pain. The sound of his wallet exploding was the sound of an air gun. Every once in a while, whenever someone has a big wallet, someone calls it a George costanza wallet.
2:49 - Just by chance one night I was bored and randomly channel surfing and I stumbled across this particular scene, many years after the show ended. I'm not an easy laugh and the wallet exploding (sounds like the "seed pods" popping in the greenhouse scene in the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", 1956) took me completely by surprise and cracked me up. I was hooked. I had been been a stubborn, resolute, and determined Seinfeld series hater all throughout its original run in the 90's. But thanks to 'whatever', from that moment on I stopped being stupid.
I'm in tears 😂 A few years back, I started having issues with my back. For 5 days a week. On average, I would spend about 3 hours per day driving. As a contractor, I would do a lot of shopping. I would hold on to every receipt, proof check, business card, etc. There were times I would even put my supplements in my wallet. My wallet looked very much like his. The damn thing would get jammed in my pocket whenever I'd try pulling it out. This really hit home.
lol my wallet is on its way to becoming like George's, had it since 2009 and its quiet stuffed, might take a few more years to end up like George's though
I've never ever understood the people who put their wallet in their back pocket then SIT on it. Like... wtf my man? Put that joker in your side pocket or take it out of your pants. Dad had back pain for years from that, until he started just putting his wallet in center console when driving.
My dad always carried his wallet in his back pocket even though it was average size. Then his hips started hurting, got them replaced and the wallet went to the front pocket. And the console, lol.
@@pinkfreud62 It kind of makes sense ya know. Even a 1 inch thick wallet is sitting your whole hips out of level quite a bit. Just try sitting like that for extended periods and you'll feel it. Haha def. the way to go!
Pfft, my company's sales director's wallet makes George's look *empty.* It's so big, he has to remove three thick rubber bands just to get into it; it won't stay closed on it's own. It takes him forever to pay for anything!
My friend's wallet can make your dad's look empty. His is so big he has to remove two large rubber bands that keep it closed; it won't stay closed on it's own. It takes him forever to pay for something.
GreenGretel there's a lot of bad edits in the Seinfeld clips on YT..I've only uploaded a few things and am far from an expert, so I just kind of let it go...kind of funny in its own way
There was a guy in my ice skating class with a wallet like that. One night during our lessons he fell backwards right on his butt (and wallet) onto the ice. A week later at the class he told me the wallet gave him a huge square bruise right on his right ass cheek.
right now have iphone 3gs with otter box defender case on it. i still have wallet and phone in front left pocket with clip outside holding it up. keys and change in front right pocket. still don't have a use for back.

Ok miguel sanchez
Let me guess, you didn't get the job.
@@orlandodavidgw I did get it lol
Yep. That’s Costanza’s wallet alright.
You carry rocks in your wallet?
Even the sound of the wallet popping is funny.
+Blayne Staley hilarious lol
Es muy chistoso el sonido jajajaja
BBOOOOOFFFFF
You commented 5 years ago. How are you now?
3:10
"I have been lying for you for three days and now you are all screwing me" You just have to love George.
lol. He keeps trying and trying, FIGHTING for a normal life. And every single time, he keeps failing. Always manages to keep it together, but always fails at everything else. One of the greatest shows of all time, lol.
George became much funnier when he left the Woody Allen impression behind and became a smoldering, raging, paranoid loon
Agreed. :D
Zach Haywood He himself based the character on woody's in the beginning, but afterwards Larry David was the "muse", haha
Joao Martins wish Larry had just said "do it as me" from the beginning...watching all the reruns lately, no doubt it was tamer at the beginning, the show as a whole, then it exploded, then it kind of whimpered a bit as it came to close without David for the most part..I know that's the conventional wisdom, but I think it's true here...I wonder if people had to vote for the early years vs. the late years which they would take?
I Agree
+Dak Lamerbusch "I've been lying to you for three days, and now you're all screwin' me!" (flying hands) 2:12
3:08 that sound the wallet makes followed by George going ape shit fucking kills me every time 😂
"my tiger poster!!!"
He was actually concerned about the tiger poster lol
who wouldnt
Well tigers are awesome. Who wouldn’t want a poster of one?
Hahahaha love the sound of the wallet exploding.
"My receipts...the chair...my tiger poster!"
greatest show ever hahaha
Bloated wallets in the 90s, and then a multitude of tabs open in a browser in 2010's-some things never change; only take different form :D
"I might go there" I love it. Not only has he never been to Ireland, he keeps it on the off chance he has to go without time to prepare.
Even if its only one 5 pound bill (i think)
2:39 George "Well at least I'm not carrying a PURSE"! Jerry " *It's not a purse, it's EUROPEAN*" ! Epic exchange between them, God I miss Seinfeld.
it was the best show on TV, along with the Great Married with childern, good days man...
Cannot agree more. The sitcoms of today got nothing on the sitcoms from the 90s and earlier.
Virtually everyone knows what a George Costanza wallet is. That and "shrinkage" are two classic episodes.
I came here because everyone keeps telling me I have a Constaza sized wallet
There’s shrikage ?
“I think women know about shrinkage”-- “how do women know about shrinkage”? Lmao 🤣
Of course they don’t hopefully this educated some of them haha
"Your good friend is morbidly obese." and the sound of George's wallet exploding do it for me every time.
My friend's dad's wallet is so huge he has to unravel two thick large rubber bands just to get into it. He takes forever to pay a check at a restaurant.
That sounds like my old wallet. I've since dumped it and started using this instead: www.wagwallet.com/ *Far* more convenient than any typical wallet.
@@MichaelD8393 do you keep the big bills on the outside?
@@tastethejace No, the smaller ones: nothing larger than a $10. I like to be stealthy about it 😂
Is your friends dad, Larry David?
Can only happen to george
This was the best. I was hanging out with my dad and he mentioned needing to clean out his wallet. Perfect timing and context! 😆
I've been lying to you for three days and now you're all screwing me!
+Mark Robinson Only 3 days???...I can go months with a lie.
smasila But the key is....are you getting screwed during those 3 months like George did?? Anyone can lie without repercussions :-p
its not a lie if u believe it
I want my free SAVE THE TIGER poster. Which Orlando area service station do I go to? Anybody know?
Lol
Lynn Turman Good question.
Lynn Turman Exxon
I just started watching this show for the first time a few months ago, even though I first saw this clip over a decade ago. Can’t wait to get to it for real!
That poof sound is perfect ^^
+UnbelievablyGauche it was hilarious lol
+Jennie Joyz Indeed it was:D
+UnbelievablyGauche I wonder if they had to try out a bunch of different "poof" sounds til they found the perfect one. Which they did. It makes me laugh every time.
It's such an exaggerated sound lol.
It's really amazing how many different topics this show covers lol
That 'pop' when the wallet explodes gets me every time :)
Seinfeld is so good that when I watch these clips, I'm sad when they cut out other parts : (
they didn't cut them on my local CW station.
@@cutemimi25 think he meant the UA-cam clips
@@wolfman100hits Oh...
Yep, makes you want to watch the entire episode.
The funniest thought is for all it’s bulk George’s wallet would contain no actual money.
OmG too funny. No show will ever come close in comparison!
"My tiger poster!" Wonderful.
Every person on this planet, no matter how perfect they think they are, has some George in them lol.
You know what would be very interesting? If the exploding wallet is featured on Mythbusters.
+sparkshark789 haha
it's hilarious how a cheapskate like george would have an exploding wallet
Well to be fair, George likely didn't have a lot of cash in his wallet. Other than that Irish money, it was probably mostly full of receipts, the Exxon Tiger poster card, Sweet n' Lows and even some hard candy 😂
lol yeah it's ironic, explodes from a bunch of useless crap he's hoarded instead of actual money.
vampurile Indeed.
@@Am56789-b Yup.

The end credits make this scene even better. Thanks for the clip!
The world needs more people like you my friend.
George: I needed it! My back is...a little tweaked.
Jerry: Because of your giant wallet, just get rid of it!
George: Never! It is a part of me. I will just return the chair and it will be easy because the receipt is in my good friend.

Every time I have to take my wallet off my pocket to be able to seat properly I remember George Costanza.
“Irish Money” LMAO

"I've been lying to your for three days, and now you're all screwing me!"
Irish money?
I might go there.
" I've been lying to you for 3 days and now you're all screwing me. "LOL
Friends use to refer to my wallet as a “constanza wallet” I replied with what George said, “a MAN carries a wallet”! Lol
watching this stresses me out
"And a wallet for your money" (shows huge wallet) Kills me everytime
omg I burst out laughing when the wallet literally exploded!!
At least he wasn't a fancy dandy boy!!! lol
Thanks for sharing man. I missed George.
lol my wallet is on its way to becoming like George's, had it since 2009 and its quiet stuffed, might take a few more years to end up like George's though
If a paper ad on a light pole tries to convince you to accept a free guitar lesson, just keep walking, it's not worth it.
Can I get an update on your wallet
Hahah, I retired that wallet a couple of years ago unfortunately! Use one of those phone wallet cases these days

Haha, my wallet regularly gets like this, then when it just gets too much, I put it through a diet and it starts all over again...
I think every person born before 1980 has a father with a George wallet with the obligatory 2 thick rubber bands.
“Important things go in a case. You gotta have a skull for your brain, a sleeve for your comb and a wallet for your money!”
Overnighting that chair would cost more than what George would be saving.
I've been lyin' to you for three days and now you're all screwin' me!!
I'm currently doing research to buy a new wallet and this documentary has been most helpful.
1:30 "You got a filing cabinet under half your ass!"
Can't.....Stop......Laughing...
its amazing how much goerge is like my granpa..
I loose it when the wallet explodes, "woof"
lol 5/5 ben looking for this vid for a long time, TNX, this is gonna be a big hit!!
Pure classic how that little tiny slip causes the explosion.
Big wallet is big.
Pfft, my company's sales director's wallet makes George's look *empty.* It's so big, he has to remove three thick rubber bands just to get into it; it won't stay closed on it's own. It takes him forever to pay for anything!
A Big ASS Wallet.
wallets like that can cause permanent BACK PROBLEMS IF NOT TREATED BY DOCTOR
This was the episode when I stopped carrying my wallet in my back pocket. Thanks Seinfeld🙏
My Dad has this exact same wallet!
My friend's wallet can make your dad's look empty. His is so big he has to remove two large rubber bands that keep it closed; it won't stay closed on it's own. It takes him forever to pay for something.
Do you know the brand and name?
real men real style brought me here!
you know...the youtube channel
Why on earth did the clip cut out just as we see Jerry strutting in that glorious fur coat?!
Right, soon as I saw that I started laughing and it ends :(
GreenGretel there's a lot of bad edits in the Seinfeld clips on YT..I've only uploaded a few things and am far from an expert, so I just kind of let it go...kind of funny in its own way

So many great Seinfeld jokes, some are bound to overlap in videos
I know. I wanted to see Fancy Boy!
Because Jerry is a dandy
MY TIGER POSTER!!!!

Its an organizer, a secretary, and a friend
The simple fact that you're against this makes me think I'm on to something
3:07 Funniest sound effect in television history?
This never gets old.

This video is so funny, thank you for posting it.
"it's not a purse, it's European!"

a friend to a chiropractor and a back specialist!
"This is an organizer, a secretary, (grunts) and a friend"

Now, keeping sweet and low in your wallet... THAT is wrong!

>not owning explosive wallets
I don't know why but every time my wallet gets fat I feel the urge to watch this lol 😆
That explosion is priceless!
thats how my wallet looks atm
George needs to get a Ridge Wallet that he could keep in his front pocket.
There was a guy in my ice skating class with a wallet like that. One night during our lessons he fell backwards right on his butt (and wallet) onto the ice. A week later at the class he told me the wallet gave him a huge square bruise right on his right ass cheek.
“Show this card at any participating Orlando area Exxon station to get you a free ‘Save the Tiger’ poster.”
Just saw this episode on telly today ; - )
"look at you, you're slanting"
My wallet is almost as packed as George's, it's not even fun.
Lol, I must admit, as sad as it may sound, I have a Costanza wallet. Lmao~ xD
Same
My wallet was getting like this, but it's doing better now. I got it into shape.
Like a tire popping lmao!!
The noise.... haha
Why wouldn’t he live some of that shit at home? 😄
