[@AWSVids]

[@mikec3382]

He was only using the chair to boost his own self image because Susan and her father who owned the store didn’t think the security guard needed one. Which they don’t for obvious reasons so he created a problem that he had the solution for and he can be the “hero”. No fucks were given about the guard only proving he’s a better person was his main goal. Alas he is truly a master manipulator.

Then I could comfortably push that cart around the store doing absolutely nothing, occasionally straighten some random thing on a shelf, look back and forth like I'm searching for something, for nearly a whole shift. It was very rare for anyone to ever question what I was doing, and when they did, I just gestured to my cart of empty boxes and said, "what does it look like I'm doing?" They wanted to promote me, but I couldn't stand anymore of that awful music.

[@sifatshams1113]

Here's the true genius of Seinfeld the show. Today, we have all these really brilliant, creative, edgy, cynical, insightful comedy shows like Always Sunny, Rick and Morty, Barry, Succession, Bojack Horseman, South Park, etc. These are all shows that pushed the envelope so far that watching a show like Seinfeld today, the casual viewer would probably find it more similar to stuff like Friends or HIMYM. But there was always a very real and deeply entrenched darkness to that show and those characters, it was just very well-hidden. Seinfeld never had to have episodes involving hitmen, prostitutes, drugs, abortion, etc. in order to score 'edgelord' points. It was just a show about how pathetically and fundamentally greedy, spiteful, narcissistic, and petty people are. The fact that somehow, throughout its entire run, millions of people couldn't see that because they were so distracted by the whacky situations and catchphrases and goofy nonsense is what truly makes it so unique and ahead of its time.

[@humans_do_stuff]

This happens because, like the characters, we all have insecurities and subconsciously try to protect our egos. It's a behavior so ingrained in human nature that the show can seem casual, with many situations appearing completely justified and unquestionable. However, if you pay close attention, you'll notice that the characters are constantly struggling with how others perceive them and what they can do to improve their status quo, even at the expense of others. The show's narrative can feel so natural and subtle because we're almost conditioned to maintain or improve our status quo, making us see nothing unusual in it, it simply feels natural to us.

[@viscountrainbows2857]

People say IASIP is "Seinfeld on crack", which is truly spot-on. People don't _need_ hard drugs to be terrible; plenty will do worse on nothing but a coffee, and seem quaint in the public eye because their habit is more socially acceptable.

Boy… this is brutal.

It’s eerie to see it so plainly stated. I’m gonna need to do some soul-searching.

[@radioactiverat8751]

When you say, “why does socializing have to be such a production” what do you specifically point to?

[@cobaingrohlnovo]

Yeah you’re just like George lmfao

[@jessiejamesferruolo]

​@radioactiverat8751 Could be because of a high focus on their insecurities. Speaking from experience, when you are insecure for any reason and you have to socialize, you wind up over focusing on your behavior and it becomes extremely mentally draining.

I think a major part of what makes George George is he hates his life and finds an opportunity in every new girl he meets to completely reinvent it. Like maybe if this one works I can live the rest of my life as an antiques collector or a bad boy and no one will ever have to know who I really was.

[@licmir3663]

George is the only narcissist who is fun to watch. This video is perfect. It really shows why George, being a narcissist, sabotages himself every single time. Narcissists often have one element in their lives that is constant. Most of them are in debt, can’t stay in any job and so on, but you’ll find once and while one who actually is quite capable professionally, but everything else in his life is a nightmare. In the case of George, his friends are the only constant in his life, and only because they enjoy making fun of him. I love Seinfeld. What an amazing show. The finale was perfect. They deserved it.

[@jakek1735]

It's funny how, as narcissistic as he is, you get the sense that they really are his only true friends, and maybe the only people that he does actually see as fellow humans, rather than obstacles or means to an end. Because they're the only ones who truly know him, who fully understand the depths of his misanthropy, and... well, I dunno if I'd say they ACCEPT him 😆, but they're kinda just like "eh, it is what it is", which is the closest he'll ever get to acceptance. In a weird, fucked-up way, it's kind of heartwarming. They're the only people he's ever found who won't abandon him after staring into the abyss that is his soul.

one of my favorite George coztanza moments is when he gets promoted to be the ceo/president of the Susan foundation. He didn’t want to do it because that means he loses free time, he’d be reminded of Susan nonstop (he did technically kill her aha), and he loses potential dates. Actually I suspect Susan’s parent deliberately asked him, knowing he wouldn’t say no, because they hated him so much. :) When George coztanza gets a protege who shockingly gets the foundation’s scholarship, George gets so angry at this betrayal because his protege wanted to be a city planner, not an architect, that he refuses to give the money-only to be threatened by the peotoge’s van buren gang :)

Also worth bringing up on the subject of dating: we can't forget the time George was going out with a woman who genuinely liked him and he went on a double-date with Jerry and his girlfriend only to find out afterwards that Jerry's girlfriend didn't like him. Her dislike of him causes him to become attracted to her and even obsessed with her because he's so self-loathing that a woman hating him is a turn on to him. It reaches the point where he ends up pushing his own girlfriend who genuinely likes him away and ends up with nothing in the end. Another girlfriend of his that comes to mind was when he was dating the woman who he suspected had an eating disorder and that she was going to the bathroom after meals to throw up. But his concern was not coming from a place of compassion where he was worried for her health or wellbeing. No, instead he was worried about the money he would be theoretically "wasting" if she was just regurgitating all the meals he had been buying for her.

Amazing analysis of George C for sure

I WAS IN THE POOL!

[@Enjemnsnens]

My ex once proudly told me he related to George and I wish I had seen Seinfeld at the time because I probably would have saved myself some pain 🤡🤡🤡

[@bradhorowitz2765]

Did he make it a habit of looking annoyed so you wouldn’t give him work?

[@Nephew2077]

Weird question. Madison, WI?

[@MittensOnly]

Are we going to discuss the fact that George is just Larry David's self insert?

[@nathanielwestermann]

Exactly. I want to hear what the uploader has to say about that.

[@yajy4501]

We have to admit, there’s a little George in all of our personalities haha

[@nebulous6660]

“George has no care or consideration for anyone” that’s actually not entirely true. It bothers him that a security guard doesn’t have a chair to sit in & goes out of his way to make the guy’s job more comfortable. He feels terrible about breaking up a couple by joking that the wife could do better & fights through Jerry & Elaine to save their marriage. He also is aware of his shortcomings and often criticizes himself as being less than the man he knows he should be. He doesn’t try to manipulate everyone & there’s even an episode where he makes a conscious effort to be brutally honest with others & do the opposite of his initial instincts which ends up benefiting him.
