Seinfeld - The Deal

[@celticbird2398]

"I have to tell ya, I'm very impressed with the first one."

[@Connief1990]

😂😂

[@andydelsanto13]

Funniest moment in the the land of TV.

[@andyderksen8455]

"Ah! You got greedy."

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Jason Alexander never winning an Emmy is a travesty of TV justice.

[@Kruppt808]

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.

[@youknowwhoiam2771]

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

[@Tashie777]

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.

[@andyderksen8455]

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

[@Boldamore]

"where are you living, are you here are you on this planet?" love that line

[@splodge9]

I really think this is the greatest sitcom scene ever made. It's technically beautiful. Acting, writing, pacing, everything.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

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

[@Deleralia]

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

[@goldengun9970]

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

[@davidmorrison2069]

@@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.

[@ivanpb1983]

This is a masterclass in dialogue writing.

[@rr8299]

RonHoward why?-

[@themagictheatre2965]

@@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.

[@Alex_1729]

Yeah, it's pretty good

[@ou-gee]

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

[@BoqPrecision]

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

[@mcbc4]

the best part of this whole scene, is george's "get in the mood" speech

[@iluvinternalcombustion]

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

[@kevinhooks1]

mcbc4 personally I like the thousand of years part

[@havingteawiththedevil]

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.

[@DG-wf2tc]

Pure Gold

[@michaelwainscott2633]

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.

[@angbaac]

This and the "menage à trois" plan for the roommate switch was some of the best dialogue from Seinfeld.

[@Kruppt808]

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.

[@BDUBZ49]

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

[@reginaldperiwinkle]

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

[@MyBrainExploding]

"I know less about women....... Than anyone in the world" lool

[@MattySadler]

Gets me every time

[@felipemaldonado8028]

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

[@supervegito8513]

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

[@ShonenFreakTV]

that sure improved lol

[@m.e.d.7997]

But he actually knew everything about women!

[@necroplastful]

As an adult, I can safely say, that George is actually 100% right on this one.

[@jeffreese8694]

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.

[@respectdawildo_danjones508]

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

[@chunksloth]

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

[@NH-tb2sm]

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.

[@jamespaul2587]

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

[@dmarti47]

Best sitcom in the history of sitcoms.

[@sait_k]

IT Crowd is better

[@ssppeellll]

I like how George stands up in the middle of a restaurant and starts shouting ... and no one else in the restaurant takes notice or seems the least bit annoyed or even distracted.

[@SightForMemories]

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

[@RatelHBadger]

Nah that's just New York

[@crimsondynamo615]

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

[@JPLooney]

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!!

[@mcbailey9]

You’re like a pathetic gambler.

[@RickUmali]

"Well, YOU GET IN THE MOOD!" My favorite line of the whole series, probably!

[@rhey81]

One of the great speeches of all time..

[@ecdjcl7642]

It's amazing how George's sandwich kept changing.

[@lomez969]

Nice catch!

[@harlemroots7019]

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

[@GeorgeUK84]

Edwin Dwyer You've ruined the scene for me.

[@Alex_1729]

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

[@Theo0x89]

This is a very good detail.

[@eins2001]

The older I get, the more I relate to George.

[@chunksloth]

Yup. He's literally a modern Socrates.

[@henrybierman8431]

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

[@lepetitchat123]

I relate to him all my life

[@richardgillette5759]

No woman can resist Jerry’s mullet, tight jeans & stylish tucked in shirts

[@iluvinternalcombustion]

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

[@bojames3677]

George turns out to be right in the end lol

[@OfficialAnarchyz]

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

[@LovingTinha]

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

[@Peace1dy]

Yep pot on. It’s not possible.

[@Pimping9167]

Rarely ever wrong lol

[@setheldridge329]

Hearing Jerry describe to George how he and Elaines love making was passionate, little does he know season 5 episode 1 will turn his whole world upside down.

George is the best character.

Now you listen to me...

[@brockb6942]

3:46 this is one of the best delivered lines I’ve ever heard

[@TheHadeerHameed]

jason needs an emmy based on this scene only

[@ambalavanant]

Exactly. It's a shame he never got one

[@erisbrigedon1157]

I love George's line "Nahhw, that's where you got greedy" in that thick NY accent. The writing and delivery was so funny!!

[@KidstaSam]

Jason as George Costanza deserved an Emmy. But an award can't belittle his genius work as this good for nothing, struggling character. The fact that we are still talking to this day about him means he has outshined other illustrious cast members along with Michael Richard's Kosmo Kramer. Two of the funniest characters in television history. Chandler Bing comes the distant third.

[@BDUBZ49]

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

[@henrybierman8431]

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

[@zapkvr]

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

[@thenaturalmidsouth9536]

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

[@AndrewWesthoff]

Best show of all time.

[@StamfordBridge]

[@richardbelliveau8881]

Jason Alexander, the best comedic character actor ever..no one delivered comedic lines and stories like he did. He deserved so many awards for this show. Ashame. To this day....these stories are stil funny. This show doesn't age, except for the pay phones lol.

[@Kruppt808]

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.

[@tennisrox4444]

"where do you get the ego?" is an amazing question

"Now you listen to me..." ;D The man means business.

[@rodluvan1976]

one of the best dialogues in Seinfeld history

[@hippiecheezburger5457]
