Favorite George Constanza Moments
Edited on Tue Nov-08-05 08:56 PM by DanCa
I love the scene where he's being chased in a electric scooter, and the one where he doesn't where a shirt when in the bath room to free himself up.

1. So many to chose from
Having sex with the cleaning lady in his cubicle.
Having a sleeping area built in his desk at Yankee Stadium; he uses a clock to wake him but someone thinks the ticking is a bomb.

14. I was gonna suggest the Hand Modeling episode
until I remembered Opposite George.

"My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents."

And it led to his job with the Yankees...

Mr. Cushman : Why don't you tell me about some of your previous job experiences?
George : Alrighty. Ah ... my last job was in publishing ... I got fired for having sex in my office with the cleaning woman.
Mr. Cushman : Go on.
George : Alright, before that, I was in real estate. I quit, because the boss wouldn't let me use his private bathroom. That was it.
Mr. Cushman : Do you talk to everybody like this?
George : Of course.
Mr. Cushman : My niece told me you were different.
George : I am different, yeah.
Mr. Cushman : I gotta tell you, you are the complete opposite of every applicant we've seen. Ah, Mr. Steinbrenner, sir. There's someone here I'd like you to meet. This is Mr. Costanza. He's one of the applicants.
Mr. Steinbrenner : Nice to meet you.
George : Well, I wish I could say the same, but I must say, with all due respect, I find it very hard to see the logic behind some of the moves you have made with this fine organization. In the past twenty years you have caused myself, and the city of New York, a good deal of distress, as we have watched you take our beloved Yankees and reduced them to a laughing stock, all for the glorification of your massive ego!
Mr. Steinbrenner : Hire this man!

16. Then when he got reprimanded for having sex with the cleaning lady:
"Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time."

3. Gotta be the episode where he tries to get fired from the Yankees
I especially love the ending where he's dragging one of their world series trophies around the parking lot behind his car and he's shouting obscenities at Steinbrenner.

As a Yankee hater, I had to watch that scene over and over...

8. (Reluctantly): "It moved."
Not my favourite character--in fact, I found him pretty loathsome--but that bit cracked me up.

12. Mine neither.
But, he did have his moments. And I loved his parents. When his mom walked in on him in a personal moment? Hilarious!

18. Just about any George Costanza moment really
The scenes you mentioned are classic, but my favorite is probably...

...


...


Relationship George vs. Independent George

Jerry: I like that George
George: Me TOO! BUT HE's DYING JERRY!! A George divided against itself CANNOT stand


--- the greatest monologue in television history.

19. Oh, and George is easily
Edited on Tue Nov-08-05 10:39 PM by Raiden
the best written character on Seinfeld. Everyone on that show is great, but George Costanza is just so nuanced and cleverly written




George: The correct answer is the "Moops"
Bubble Boy: It was the Moors you moron
George: I'm sorry, the card says "Moops"
Bubble Boy: Let me see that; it's a misprint, the answer is Moors
George: "Moops"
Bubble Boy: Moors
George: "Moops"
Bubble Boy: Moors


Classic stuff
