hugolafhugolaf , having to play one of the creators of the show, while he watches and critiques you..... on the other hand he got typecast as Constanza and never really got another show/movie after this.

Kruppt808 because he was too damn good as George to break out of his excellent performance as this role

hugolafhugolaf exactly what I was thinking watching this!

While this bit is excellent, it's not representative of his overall performance in the show. Most of the time I feel like he's stuck in the whiny loser stereotype.

@Peter Ferenczy: Oh, dude, say what you want, Jason Alexander was - and there's no better term for it - _"gold, Jerry, gold!"_

😂😂

Funniest moment in the the land of TV.

"Ah! You got greedy."

Same thing I say to the wife

Ye Stars that is kind of the joke!

I know it, that was such a douche move on Jerry's part I totally agree with George

mcbc4 personally I like the thousand of years part

You can’t just invite your best friend out to lunch, tell them you slept with their other best friend, and expect not to get details! You’d be mad too lmao.

Pure Gold

This was early when George (Jason Alexander) tried to do his Woody Allen schtick. He found his own personality in later seasons. Never liked this version/voice of George's. It wasn't his, it was Woody Allen's.

RonHoward why?-

@@rr8299 Because it is a scene with nothing but dialog, no action whatsoever. The actors barely move. Yet the scene is engrossing and keeps your interest piqued, while also being very funny. Yet if you think about it, all this scene is, is one character delivery plot details to another character. Plot details that the audience already knows, because they literally just watched the details play out in the previous scene. Those kinds of scene tend to be really tedious for the audience and this could easily have gone that way but it didn't, which comes down solely to the writing and the performances.

Yeah, it's pretty good

Well the whole series are based on that actually:). Larry David is a genius.

What makes it a masterclass? Dialogue should resemble natural conversation but you can't get that in a sitcom

At the risk of TMI, I can say every time I’ve tried it, things have gone awry. I’m not so great with the ladies, but it’s tough to pull off.

@@jeffreese8694 I only got my pants on to have a cigarette once and the look I got said everything… he’s right

George is literally always right. The older and wiser you get the more you realize he was right all along.

Not true at all. I have a terrific friend who I dated, we slept together and continued to sleep together even after we stopped dating and years later we're still the best of friends. I was even his woman of honor at his wedding.

Not at all, friends with benefits are quite common and it works well for many people

Gets me every time

@ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn actually it is "it's not a lie, if you believe it"

Best line is: Adios, muchacho said by the soup nazi

that sure improved lol

But he actually knew everything about women!

The Marine Biologist ending scene is a notch above I think.

@@hugolafhugolaf yea this is the correct answer. That scene was so good

@@hugolafhugolaf yes i was going to write that... 'at that moment.. I was a marine bioloigist'

@@hugolafhugolaf You are so clueless, the Marine Biologist ending scene is so sophomoric, so juvenile and just not funny at all unless of course you have the sense of humor of 13 year old in middle school. This scene here in The Deal is flawless and nearly perfect if not perfect. Seinfeld in the first 3 seasons was and still is one of the funniest most original and unique TV shows ever. Then starting in season 4 it slowly went down hill and became a typical stupid exaggerated TV sitcom with inane episodes like The Marine Biologist.

This should be a show, What You know this, just talking. Yah right No I mean it, a show about nothing! Everybody doing something , We'll do nothing.

My favorite is George's regret about "not going up for coffee"

I was just noticing that some of the dialogue is similar in the two scenes.

you know, they were probably paid!... "by the government?"

Nah that's just New York

Pretty common occurrence. I ain’t letting my coffee get cold because of some shouting guy.

Normal people like to ignore Crazy in the hopes that if they pretend not to notice, it will go away... try it... just shout out in the middle of a restaurant... people will go through great lengths to ignore you!!

You’re like a pathetic gambler.

Yup. He's literally a modern Socrates.

That's not good. George literally killed his fiance and after hearing from the doctor, he pauses with no expression in his face for like five seconds, then shrugs and says "Who's hungry for Chinese" and leaves with Jerry, Kramer and Elaine

I relate to him all my life

Nice catch!

I did pay some attention and that was a pretty catch. Bet you good with the flaky ladies.

Edwin Dwyer You've ruined the scene for me.

+Edwin Dwyer After watching for 100th time I would notice it too :D

This is a very good detail.

"WHAT TH-- Oh, it's just him again. Anyway what were you saying about vegetables?"

"Yup, it's that table again"

They have to be quiet on set

They’re in New York. I’m pretty sure it’s common for this kind of crazy.

Honestly in the upper west side nobody cares as long as you're not bothering them. The one thing I love about NYC

It is kinda amazing he got with so many beautiful women. But if I was writing my own show, my character would too

never really considered that a mullet. lol

What mullet?

Where's the mullet

Mullet? Think again Mojambo

One of the great speeches of all time..

"well you better get in the mood !!!"

IT Crowd is better

Yeah but at the moment of his prophecy, I think he's being quite a bit jealous, too

Every man wants the dream, but he knows it's just a dream ( in George voice)

Yep pot on. It’s not possible.

Rarely ever wrong lol

Exactly. It's a shame he never got one

I'd put at least a couple dozen ahead of Chandler.

I would say thatere are a lot of characters funnier than Chandler bing, Gilligan, Hogan from Hogan's heroes, Barney Fife, Joe, Murray, sal, and Q from impractical jokers, Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, Garfield, Fred Flintstone, the fonze, the main doctor in mash, Optimus prime, Andy dufraine, Rocky, George Bush, Martin Luther King Jr., Aaron Rodgers, weird Al, my accountant, grover Cleveland, FDR, Gru, bing Crosby, bill Cosby, OJ Simpson, Yoda, Bo and Luke Duke, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Obama, Jimmy Kimmel, and of course, Jerry Seinfeld

Matthew Perry stinks. The fact he hasn't worked since Friends proves it

Friends wasn't even in the same league with Seinfeld. Friends was Class D Summer League. Seinfeld was the Majors-the Show.

Frasier might also be up your alley... although it can be very snooty.

Pay phone, limo, home phones, answering machines, definitely the prices of everything, video rental stores, movie phone, fax machines, Taxi, car services, tape recorder, pre blackberry devices aka the wizard, newspapers, vhs tapes Also I have been watching since the 90s, watched it live, reruns, vhs, dvd, now streaming on Netflix. And no I've never seen the traffic episode , I'm looking forward to it since I've only heard about it.

Well the internet was around at that time... (Y’know using dial up With America Online)

Correction: Wait until the internet gets more advanced!

It's a totally different animal nowadays

The internet was invented by DARPA in 1969

It's not copying, it's just a sitcom "cliche" beacuse it's similar to real life.

I proclaim Jerry gets it the same way George does, but with slightly different annotations.

+kallemattilaofficial, How was it a terrible plan when Jerry could've slept with both girls? Jerry is an idiot so he didn't actually do it though.

The sea was angry that day my friends.

AlrightThen15 It's mold...scene took 100 takes

EVERYBODY stole from this show. Everybody. But yeah, Friends is the most popular culprit

If you're gonna steal. Steal from the best.

it’s everyone!!

Like what? This show is to realistic. Friends is like this dreamy show about dreamy cute people. Steinfield - is about a bunch of losers and creeps

Seinfeld absolutely acted as a major influence in changing how TV was written.

Kramer was Batman when he saved Corky's pinky toe.

Jerry mentioned Geen Lantern once- Elaine said she didn't like jewelry on men. And Marvel..they had a debate on whether Iron Man was naked under his suit. And George once referenced Human Torch "FLAME ON!".

Just had gone without a while probably. Better to recycle an old boyfriend than deal with someone new to get laid.

@@AnnaLVajda I agree

"The deal" (or the offer or the fantasy of it) is as real as American pie, men have tried it for centuries, but it has never worked and it never will, so men stop fulling yourselves if you have sex with a woman on several ocassions you have crossed the no-friends line forever on the women's mind.

It works really well for same-gender sexual flings. No complications.
