Seinfeld | George Steinbrenner

[@narmstrong9539]

The scene where he's telling George's parents about his supposed death, and all Frank cares about is berating him for the way he runs the team, is comedic genius

That wasn't even the worst trade the Yankees made in the '80s.

[@ChewyThomson]

I love the way the voice obviously doesn't sync up with the actor playing Steinbrenner. Somehow that makes it even funnier.

[@baylaust]

Fun fact: the actual George Steinbrenner was a huge Seinfeld fan, and loved this portrayal of him in the show. In fact, he loved it so much that he got in touch with the producers and actually filmed a scene where he plays this version of Steinbrenner. The scene never aired and ended up being cut and relegated to a deleted scene, because... he just wasn't very funny (a quote from Seinfeld himself). Apparently Steinbrenner took that in stride, though, and there wasn't any bad feelings.

[@blakearius]

I read it was because he thought the show had done Susan character dirty by killing her off and refused to play a part in it.

I love how when George first meets Steinbrenner, he's bold as hell, but then when he starts working for him, he practically crawls in through the door with fear whenever he gets called into the office.
