- From 'Seinfeld' S02E07 - "The Revenge" - George quits his jobs in a fit of rage without another job lined up. Jerry and George discuss what George can do for his next job.
“Well that’s really not fair” never fails to make me bust out in laughter.
Same! Me and my brother always quote this
I love how George is sitting on the floor like a little kid.
I know! For that reason I kinda find him cute in this scene. Not attractive, cute like a kid. The way he talks quietly, casually suggests outrageous jobs based on his interests, and just has this soft look on his face also helps
@@sylph8005I find him attractive. ❤️
@@DebNKY90s Jason Alexander was handsome!
I love how patient Jerry is throughout this whole exchange
yes. this was the much calmer, sane version of Jerry. The more I watch the older episodes, the more I appreciate them.
he does a great straight man. probably the sign of a good comedian.
Ha, right! He played such a great balance of trying to be sincere/gentle in his reality checks on George, but also delivering veiled snark as George floats his goofy ideas. :-)
But why do you love Jerry being patient? He's not patient in this scene, he's just advising George on what it takes to have the jobs George is listing. It's not like George quitting his job will psychologically change Jerry and ruin their friendship.
This whole exchange is just Jerry humoring George a little so that he can continue to make jabs at him.
I laughed at this scene when I was like 17, but after being George, sitting in front of my dad like this at 22, and still not knowing exactly what I want to do, it is now sad
@james Nas He managed to get 2000 yards rushing in an NFL season though so seems like he did ok.
Try 31
What u up to now cuz?
I too came to the realization that I am george.
Try 24.
Out of all the sitcoms ever made I think Seinfeld may be the only one to actually convey an accurate sense of reality and how people really act.
that's cuz larry david is a genius
Terry Richard you might be surprised at some of the bizarre things ‘real’ people have and do experience. By the way George didn’t kill Susan, it was the toxic envelopes remember :-) People have died in some freakish accidents/occurrences on this earth....
I totally agree with you and disagree with Terry Richard. The show is very realistic. Many of the storylines are based on real events and some that happened to Larry David or Seinfeld. Taking daily cab rides in New York is not unusual.
i hate the sitcom friends...and hate that people compare it to seinfeld
@@jso19801980 friends is a load of garbage
In 2020 Geroge would just start a podcast.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
jery get ipad
True!!
a podcast about nothing
He somehow joins an out there type of podcast like Chapo Trap House but has no idea what theyre talking about
This is how I feel as a recent graduate
Haha! Welcome 2 the real world
Haha damn it's true :(
Koolgit This is how I feel as a not so recent graduate.
That's why you should major in useful subjects and take internship in college
Wu Liwei fuck your unpaid internships. That's modern slavery
And three seasons later, George does get a job in sports.
Opposite george!
@M R “….in six games” 😏
Assistant to the Traveling Secretary! 😁
May be where the idea came from
And Kramer became a talk show host. It's weird.
jason's acting makes this entire scene. he walks a fine line of genuine introspection and humor which gives credibility to a dialog that easily could have turned into a ridiculous discussion. as well written as seinfeld was, it was the superior acting that made this show legendary.
wonderfully expressed and very accurate. please post more of your thoughts on seinfeld.
+mahlstadt no u
I see this exact comment on many seinfeld videos. Stop reposting.
I love how Jerry was being a supportive friend but also giving him a little tiny doses of reality 😂
It was never a show about nothing. It was a show about everything human.
His tone is incredibly funny in this scene
Early George before he started yelling instead of speaking.
GeorgeUK84. You know he not only yelled but entered a furious rant towards his boss in the same episode?
When he says “well that’s really not fair” I lose it everytime
This has been my life for the last 11 months.
tell me about. its all politics and those damn unions
Make that 19 months now :D
What do you wanna do. that you'd think others would pay to see.
Make that 25 months now :S
Billy Johnson 29 months now?
I think my favourite part is the moment when George gets so excited at the idea of being a projectionist then two seconds later completely deflates when he realises he lacks the necessary skills to achieve such a job
You Know Who I Am lol and the only skill is running a projector
And the idea of learning HOW to run a projector doesn't even occur to him.
I think if Tyler Durden can do it, George can do it.
@@doct0rnic The first rule of Projectionist Club is that you don't feel qualified to be in Projectionist Club.
@@KingoftheJuice18 It doesn't matter. He wouldn't even get his foot in the door. You know, "those unions."
"Do they pay people to watch movies?" George was ahead of the curve, people have YT channels specifically for reactions to movies
The fact that he’s sitting cross-legged on the floor is priceless.
Well that's really not fair.
Fantastic delivery. George is usually so frantic, mellow George is rare but hilarious.
"The general manager of a baseball team."
"Yeah...that can be tough to get"
There may be an opportunity with his former team pretty soon.
This might be my favourite all-time Seinfeld scene. George is in that fog of trying to decide what to do with his life and realizing that he's thoroughly unqualified for just about everything. I think about this scene pretty much every time I'm looking for work. I love that he's sitting on the floor. He literally can't get much lower.
He doesn’t even qualify for anything lower.
"This might be my favourite all-time Seinfeld scene."
Wow, are you sure? That's saying a lot, considering the multitude of hilarious scenes in the Seinfeld catalogue.
Yeah as someone who has frequently changed careers and struggled to find my calling in life I can really relate to this scene.
George never went to college, and this was relatable to non-college-grads in the 90s. Now it's 2020 and it's relatable to college grads. How times change
Yes he did. It’s alluded to several times. He went to college with Jerry.
He’s a college graduate
My mistake, sorry.
In all fairness a college grad can do just about anything a non-college grad can, but the converse isn’t true.
George went to Queens College
I love when George just goes back to the workplace like he never quit.
"Is that Costanza over there?"
"You thought I was serious?!"
Larry David actually did this at SNL.
@@tschmath Lmaooooooo seriously that’s awesome lol
Every day I want to quit my stupid job, and stopped by this scene
Thats everyone lol
I would totally watch talk show hosted by George.
Kramer briefly had one.
"And todays Topic, How to shave a twenty dollar tip, down to two."
What about an architect? Or an importer/exporter?
Better to just focus on the imports
Or...a marine biologist?
He could work in latex
He could work for Penske. Of the Penske file.
@@stellarwind1946 He’s definitely not Penske material
I love how gentle Jerry is with George in this scene. It's just brilliant.
Y'know, I used to laugh at George's suggestion of getting paid to watch movies... and here we are, in 2016, with RUclips inundated with Reaction videos....
Mayuresh Iyer Lol, I know right? At the same time however: Film Critics have been around for a while and George pretty much described their whole job.
George and Kramer would make a killing out of today's opportunity's
Now it’s 24
Yeah but you need to be a young woman to go pro watching 80s movies for a living
Well eventually he at least does end up working for the Yankees
DarkerMS law of attraction my friend
Yes, but as George will do, he gets cocky and screws that up.
And he got the job without any relevant experience regarding sports?
By being the opposite of what he was before.
The Opposite got him that job with the Yanks
“that’s really not fair” is one of my favourite lines ever
One of the best scenes in the show. So relatable. Underrated episode and scene even among Sein fans
I uploaded this video in 2009 when I freshly lost my job and was in same state as George. I noticed no one had this video online (at the time) so I uploaded this -- didn't think to upload the 2nd part. I just ripped the clip from a Seinfeld torrent.
How are you doing these days?
How's your career journey?
@@saimcheeda93 I forgot I uploaded this. After a year of unemployment and a few months working another job, I got a much better job in my original industry. I'll be 11 years with the same company this December. So, doing well, thanks for asking!
@@EastVanJ great work man! Congrats on those solid 11 yrs. May u always be successful in life.
Recently quit my job, been watching the NFL draft the past 2 days and dead on with some picks. Was legitimately questioning how I get in the GM position of an NFL team. I'm glad Jerry is here to talk some sense into my Costanza ass.
I feel like George deciding what I want to do at college.
Just buy the fish
How did it go?
Early 1990s: "You can't just walk into a building and say, 'I want to be a talk show host.'" Fast forward to 2021: half the planet has a podcast.
I 100% relate to George right here. I don’t have any talents/passions but I’ve always wanted to be a baseball GM, talk show host and get paid to watch movies. Gotta be in the right place at the right time for those kinds of gigs. Maybe I should do everything the opposite. It worked for George!
32 years old, unemployed, and this is pretty much how I've felt my entire life. Hated school so I never went to college (too poor for it anyway at the time), and nothing but low paying trashy retail jobs all around me. Hate my life. Ever since I was a teenager I've only ever wanted to dissolve away.
Hey, are you alright? Our times are tough m8, but don't give up. And yes, megaman is very cool.
you still alive?
This is the harsh reality of many of us...we are not working on the things we like to do because we need 1. Experience 2. Connections 3. Time 4. Money . In school, they would tell us "the sky is the limit" or "you can be whatever you want to be" ya right. Our reality as Adults is that we have to 1.Eat 2. Pay rent 3. Pay Bills 4. Spend Money on consumer products for temporary satisfaction 5. Provide for family. Too fulfill those needs, we have no choice but to Work, Work, Work like good little working bees in jobs we hate
+TheRbruin10 That's why you go to college and get a degree in something you like therefore you get the job that you like.
+tigertank06 I graduated from UCLA, a college degree these days is not enough. It's a combination of hustle, network, who you know, timing, and luck.
+joe jarden In school I use to think that getting into corporate America was the way to go, but after the economic crisis of September 2008, I realized that unregulated capitalism is the worst and corporate America has a lot of fault for the mess. Is say that Karl Marx and his ideas are something to definitely reference to in order to change the system
TheRbruin10 The who you know part I don't like. It smacks of corruption.
+TheRbruin10
I don't know, but you all have a very interesting way of talking. You should do a sitcom together.
George is the true "literally me" character
"Well thats really not fair..." lol
I lost my job when my employer went bankrupt due to Covid-19. I've been looking for jobs since last 8 months or so, and on a verge of being homeless this coming August.
Thanks to Seinfeld and Bill Burr for keeping my sanity in check.
Good luck with your search and everything.
Keep the FAITH, Mark!!
Jerry the comedian as the straight man is hilarious. His friends and neighbors are all crazy. every once in awhile though he is the crazy unreasonable one.
There's a whole season of ideas just from this clip.
Jerry's acting in this scene is so great too. It's such a weird mixture of patronizing and coddling but it comes across as so genuine, I love it.
Jerry is sometimes very patience and kind to george it’s nice
This was me right after college graduation
I finally found a job where they pay me to watch movies. It's called being a night receptionist at a hotel.
Jerry is a good friend
I honestly love my job, and in the rare times where I feel like quitting, this scene always discourages me.
"In what capacity?" 🤣🤣🤣
Latex industry is where it's at my friends.
***** what does he import? And what does he export?
***** lol and a damn good latex salesman. 😉
+Rob Miljus he is penske material but ...you are aware.....
MARCOS GUTIERREZ ***** I AM AWARE, I AM AWARE!! lol 'Can't stand ya' is too fuckin funny. Especially when it comes to him being tight with his money. And his lieing is what legends are made of. For he is Costanza, lord of the idiots!
***** lmao. Yeah man, Curb is pretty good too. I think the George character was mainly based on the life of Larry David, which is why 'Curb ' is also funny. Love that Susie character. "You bald 4-eyed fuck!!" 😂
This scene shows us for the first time in the show that what a genuis actor Jason is!
wish i knew what i wanted to do with my life too
...not to worry...the Rothschild's have already decided for you. Enjoy your life working for anyone but yourself. Moron.
Tell me about it....how can we be so ignorant to our enslavement. I tried to be my own boss at the start of this year but the Idea didn't take off. I've since enrolled to do an accounting degree..if you can't beat them, join them
***** Someone pays for sex somewhere. but is that a life worth persueing.
then the honest days work is that of prostitution. what then I ask.
Did you ever figure it out?
"But you gotta know how to work the projector!" lmfao
That’s the line that did it for me bc like they would obviously show you how to work it 😂
"He can't get much lower" great scene and a really good comment from you
i bet Jimmy Fallon became talk show host like that.
This is one of my favorite scenes in the entire series.
He did become the general manager of the baseball team!!
Not the general manager, but he did work in a lower capacity for the Yankees.
It is quite funny to see George putting his mind to something. He actually was sitting and thinking.
Thanks to Brenden Goetz for the subtitles!
It is all politics
I will say, there is a legit advantage at knowing what you want to do early on.
You don't appreciate it at young age, but the way skill compounds in early age into adulthood is truly insane. I want to thank the universe for this fortune now at 40 years of age.
This isn't supposed to be in the episode. This is Jason Alexander trying to find a career after Seinfeld
I always laugh when hes like "Well thats really not fair"
I just lost my job, this is exactly how I feel now 😂
I hear that Vandalay Industries is hiring
This is how I feel every day of my life
How are you today?
What are you doing now?
This is how I’m feeling right now.
Lets face it we have all been there pondering which direction to go! ...
LinkedIn Posting: This entry level job requires 1-3 years of experience
Me: Well that's really not fair
Recruiter: the company wants to know what year you graduated from college
Me: tells her the year
Recruiter: the company said they want someone who graduated a bit more recently
Me: that's really not fair 😭
Sad that I've had a very similar version of the conversation with my dad.
G: I like sports. I could do something in sports.
J: Uh uh. Uh huh... In what capacity?
🤣🤣🤣
Great episode
Funnily enough, Jerry is the most qualified and experienced to host a talk show as a comedian
Love it! Amazing video! Can't wait to watch what else you guys come out with.
May I add, " I like to wear ties and as a matter of fact, I'm always buying suits for upcoming interviews " ...😋
George sitting on the floor makes this scene
This was back when they weren't so mean to each other 😂😂😂
SUMMER OF GEORGE!!
If only they had podcasts in the 90s for Georgey Boy.
This scene was always hilarious when I was younger. Now it hits a little differently after realizing that I’VE become George. 😩
He can always be a latex salesman
Ironically he’ll go on to work for The Yankees and make a TV show...he’s an inverted icon of the American Dream
"Ponders about"? It's just ponders. The 'about' is inherent. From now on, just say 'ponders' and end it.
I used to say stuff like that every day for more than 40 years -- to reporters, as a newspaper copy editor. I'd suggest it as a career possibility for you, should you ever be in George's situation, but the pay is lousy, newspapers are dying and many don't even have copy editors anymore.
George is like a little kid and Jerry like a parent
Movies, I like movies.
If Jimmy Fallon can get a talk show... so can George.😋
I never understand why they used the background laugher or how you call it .... it's to much ^^
It's a live audience, they don't program in the laughs
I believe it's both. Live and canned laughter. Either way, it's to much... who laughs like that after every sentence cmon ^^
Darius von Lichtenstein Yeah i agree, it was a bit much
Jerry's a good friend
why cant they make a new serie that even comes close to Seinfeld? Im tired of watching Seinfeld over and over and over again there is just nothing new out there that even comes close...
esmifrado try Curb
Curb Your Enthusiasm is the closest thing to Seinfeld. It stars Larry David as....Larry David. He's the model figure FOR George Costanza. Replace George with Larry and it's the same character.
@@Sean12248 Larry is much more aggressive, self-confident, and successful than George is. There's some overlap, but I don't feel they are that similar.
My Name is Earl is a good show
This is me right now
"Maybe I could be an announcer, like a color man."
+Alex Thompson caller man
Color man.....The guy who analyzes the game.
Alex Thompson Color man is correct. He adds color to the game. Don't worry snowflakes, it has nothing to do with Colored Man. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Several years later George spent a year as the assistant to the traveling secretary of the Yankees.
2020 college graduates as a Seinfeld clip
this encompasses everyone except the insanely rich.
Work, work, work, work. Don't walk out! You have a job!
Capitalism.
George DID DO something in sports: He worked for the NY Yankees!
After insulting Steinbrenner to his face.
Jerry trying to be so supportive
That is a stressful situation to be in.
We're all trying to find our niche in society, both professionally and personally.
George could start a RUclips reaction channel
Me during finals week.
George has mad skillz.
Hello to my fellow unemployed brothers and sisters. It’s been a week today since I quit my job.
I envisioned myself treating the employment search like my new job, but it’s been a drag and I’m feeling like George. I don’t even really know what to search for, aside from more B.S. “administrative” dead end office jobs.
How did it go?
