You cut out the best parts: The moment George hoplessly throws himself on the couch. And Jerry's monologue: "I'm not an investor. People always tell me, you should have your money working for you. I've decided I'll do the work. I'm gonna let the money relax."
the quality of these clips is amazing! I love that they're in the original broadcast aspect ratio and not awkwardly forced into widescreen like some of the DVD releases
Yeah I think this was the last episode in which George had any kind of self-confidence. Must've been right before Jason Alexander realized George was Larry.

@@wvu05 Watch some of the Christopher Reeves Superman movies. He makes some puns and quips in those. I can't say they're particularly funny, but they're an attempt at humor at least.
Anybody can learn jokes and Superman is capable of learning anything at an expert level in virtually no time at all. He could be funnier than the funniest comedian in existence if he wanted to be.
3:21 I love those long, drawn out dinners with friends on Fridays or Saturdays. Everyone is still chatting and enjoying the company, some are still nibbling, some are enjoying their buzz. Then after you pay the bill, you have the option of moving the party to a bar/lounge, or taking it back to someone’s place, or just calling it a night and heading home because that long dinner was enough.
I had more smaller versions of those and they were alot more rare. They sound nice, when you have the spare money to actually do them, I was not one of those people😪
I love how George's character can change on a whim showing how fickle he is and that trait is perfectly portrayed by the brilliant acting. Another great example is the rock climber episode with the Tony character.
I know it's just a show, but I wonder if 'Simons' is a reference to jim Simon's, renaissance technologies, the winningest hedge fund year after year. They employ literal geniuses, and have a bunch of restrictions to even invest with them, if they let you.
...yet turned into an obnoxious douche Of course someone like George can't win with class. I wouldn't change a thing, though, because that's what made this show so great.
And George gets caught up in a NFT scheme losing money, and Kramer warns him not to. "George, those are just pixels! Just copy and save the image and be done! It's a trick. See. They want you to think that a cartoon of a monkey wearing different hats has value."
That waitress did NOT wanna let go of that bill, lol. Can't say I blame her. That's basically a tip and once a tip is given, taking it back is a dick move.
0:32 - "They got some new kind of technique for televising opera....some sort of electronic thingy." Wouldn't that technique be called a broadcast station, and wouldn't that electronic thingy be called a camera?
season 1, i remember the show struggling but this is pretty good, just 5 episodes in. "i'm a nervous wreck, i'm not cut-out for investing." i could feel that, it's how i am, i lost like half my money in 2008, i'm asking everyone, "where did it go?" nobody could tell me, the brokerage firm is like, "it's bundled, spread out everywhere." i'm like "specifically where? and what stocks"? stockbroker is like "idk, there's no way of knowing." it's a ponzi scheme, the whole thing is a ponzi scheme, politicians have literally made it legal (for them) to buy and sell based on insider trading. 80% of investors are in the top 10% financial bracket, it's nothing but a roulette table for the rich... and this is who the (capitalist) government lets run americas financial interests... who republikkklans and democrats alike hire to run the treasury dept. george carlin said it best, "it's a club, and YOU ain't in it."
Is it considered insider trading if you aren’t an insider associated with the company? The friend that told them could get in trouble but I’m not sure they would
@@dspsblyuth I think yes, because you're using information that hasn't been disclosed to the public. I think it depends on how/why the information was passed onto George.
Did George take into account the taxes he would pay on his short term investment. Since less than year its taxed at his normal income tax rate, lets say 35%. He owes $2,800 in tax on his trade come tax season.
Much like the pricing games on Price Is Right where, to reflect higher priced vehicles, what had four digits is now five. The "One Digit" game especially, it has had an extra "1" since the 90's.
Not only did George have $5K to his name..... it was actually a "spare" $5K he could afford to invest. The last time in the series he had any money.
He was going to go for 10k
At that time, he still had a stable job.
He later made money creating an app but lost it all with Madoff
@@22espec Never knew 🤔
He was a successful real estate broker.
George taking that dollar bill back was the beginning of the REAL George Costanza on this show!!!

Smug George is the worst but also the best lmfao
He's very punchable! 🤣
It's so unusual seeing George successful with money to spare...
One of the few times George wins.
He’s like Seinfeld’s version of Alan Harper
He buys the dip 🙃

😆
Watching George smoke cigar in restaurant and I’m shocked, but then I remembered you could do that back then!
I feel like these people are not even acting, that's when you know it's good
You can really see how George initially tried to play a Woody Allen type character.
The pretzels are making me thirsty!
You have to give George credit for sticking with his stock! 😂
And he's usually the one stressed out and crazy even over little things lol
I m going down with the ship.
They use to call him diamond hand george.
This was when George still liked the big brokerage houses. They hadn't hurt his father's feelings yet.
@@cisium1184 lol..George was so thirsty he just got robbed and still wanted to see her again🤣
Funny thing is George is suppose to owe a lot of taxes on those return gains since he sold immediately after.
So when you sell stocks you end owing more on taxes? Or is it when you buy and sell?

I love the part at the beginning of this episode where Jerry and George are talking about Superman having a sense of humor or not.
I've never heard him say anything funny.
He definitely did. You can't say a man who decides to tie up criminals putting a lace on it like a present isn't up to some practical joke.

The best long drawn out dinners are in your own kitchen. If you have things prepped right, you can cook, eat, drink, talk all evening.

Jerry: so big daddy at 3:41 lol
3:58 The air of superiority that George has when he made that profit :)
The early episodes are my fave.
same
It felt like a completely different show compared to seasons 7-9
The cigar 😂
It's like a baseball bat in his little hands 😅
"Have something!"
"I'm full"
"So don't finish it" lol
"Diamond Hands" Costanza

Wilkinson has millions invested with them
That green sweater George is wearing is so 90s.
One of the very few times George actually won
...yet turned into an obnoxious douche
Of course someone like George can't win with class.
I wouldn't change a thing, though, because that's what made this show so great.
Back then the Internet was the mesh inside your swimsuit.
2:05 some of my favorite acting from Jason
Love George's smug told you so reaction to his new found wealth .
Shark Tank: “I’m in… and for that reason I’m out.”
One of the few times when George wins at something.
Oh George. He rocks and hilarious!
What about my stock options?
I………………..think not.
1:05 Kramer looks SOOO HAPPY that Jerry's investment is sinking. Some friend. Glad you're entertained, Kramer - and fugg you!
Diamond hands George!
Only George would show off his new found wealth by treating his friends to an all-expense-paid meal at a crappy diner.
This is ALL TIME peak George
Reminds me of modern day crypto bros
I remember when I would have to wait for the morning paper to find out what my sticks were at
George is diamond hands!!
