George Asks Jerry Not To Be Funny | The Visa | Seinfeld

[@khrushchev2724]

“no you can’t do that, it’s round and it makes an 8” that is actually fantastic logic

[@westingtyler1]

haha yeah that's the most Larry David line ever.

[@largecoke4087]

It's not an ideal setup but it still follows logic. Putting the tables closer brings them physically closer.

[@dharmallars]

When I was a host at a restaurant I would go so out of my way to avoid doing that because I hated how it looked. I’d drag a table from across the restaurant to avoid making an 8. It just looks silly! He’s so right.

[@daveross7731]

That's right George. Now you suddenly seem so immature.

“Emotional” shortcomings. He didn’t have cognitive issues.

[@Formula7Driver]

More that I think about it, the more I realize... She looks like she's Chinese (more likely Korean). In China, 8 is a luckiest number, so joining the tables together to form an 8 might actually be a good thing

“Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year has gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake, we know it's not to be, that for the rest of our sad, wretched, pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably; happy birthday? No such thing.”

Jerry's Happy Birthday speech is hilarious.

[@setheldridge329]

The fact that George is still wearing his red coat in the fantasy laughing scene is hilarious to me 😆

[@Xylarxcode]

Hey, at least they were trying to support George by toning down the funny when he asked them to. Didn't work ofcourse, but the fact that they tried means something.

[@bink]

He could've just tried to, y'know, not be so funny.

[@marcusaurelius6847]

"El clowno " 🤣

[@brandonallen3808]

My favorite part in this episode. "What do you do for work?" "I'm a comedian."

[@MrRazzio]

i watched this specifically to hear george say "IT'S FUNNY!" and you cut that part out? i will never recover from this.

[@Dan-zq5wt]

Although this show isn’t supposed to present any deep character studies, Jason Alexander really infused Costanza with all kinds of surprising depth, and in a genius move by Larry David and the writers, created George’s wildly funny parents that perfectly explained the origins of his neuroses. All in all, George Costanza might be TVs all time greatest comic creation (IMHO).

[@westingtyler1]

you might be right. He's like the Walter White of sitcoms.

[@JDAfrica]

In an interview with Alexander, he said “I could only basically play 2 characters in his acting range - Woody Allen and William Shatner” .... George is the perfect combination of both.

[@PP-gy8gg]

I like the cut of your jib..

[@danielgreenleaf]

That George Costanza 😂 what a hoot! 😂

[@jennafox8556]

George has nothing to worry about. He is by far the funniest Seinfeld character.

it was very nice of Jerry to be not funny for a friend, thats a true friend in time of need for ya

0:49 jerry teleports across the table

[@matthewh7085]

The moment said "el clowno", he was destined to fail with her.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

It was always something fun when the character of Jerry had to change his demeanor in some way, whether it was releasing emotions (the "Serenity Now" episode, featuring him yelling at and berating his girlfriend, his first time crying, telling George "I love you", and popping the question to Elaine) or here where he feigns a somber and maudlin personality in order to appease George's neurotic and insecure needs.

[@Zack29810]

also when he switches apartments with Kramer. that’s one of my favorites.

[@senororlando2]

In other words the show was better when it involved acting

Yes it's called editing. 2 different scenes, edited closer together for the sake of making a shorter KZbin video instead of uploading half the entire episode. :|

[@theJuulJournal]

That sad moment I realized Jerry’s impersonation of an unfunny guy is a normal conversation for me

[@adamkuc9440]

this scene alone is Emmy worth. amazing

[@strongenough6862]

Notice how Jerry is sitting next to George in the booth and the next cut scene he's on the opposite side sitting next to Elaine.

[@jotarokujo5132]

Yes, I just noticed that ; is the clip edited, or did they really mess that up ?

[@haihe324]

I did, but it can be simply explained away by saying Jerry switched seat. It's an outer-seats switch, not an inner-seats switch.
