One of The ALL TIME spoken lines from Frank....." Jerry, It's Frank Constanza...Mr. Steinbrenner is here...George is Dead...call me back." LOLOLOL Never Gets Old!
I love that if you focus on Frank from 2:43-2:56 you think he's in distress over George's apparent death but he's just really filling with rage having to sit in front of Mr. Steinbrenner and wanting to vent his frustrations over an unfavorable trade.
This is and always will be my favorite Seinfeld scene. The delivery of Frank yelling at Steinbrenner combined with the premise that his son is dead but he’s upset about Buhner for Phelps is amazing.
@@beani24329 They R all Great. All the characters and side characters somehow gelled perfectly. In the words of Ace Ventura, like a glove. A truly special show that's a lightning in a bottle.
And the fact that you can see the anger just boiling up inside him before he finally explodes with rage about a trade that took place 8 years before lol
The way he looks leading up to it. He looks so distraught over his son’s death and then the comment reveals his anger over the trade was boiling over lol
When Estelle is genuinely confused when Steinbrenner talks about all the long hours George had been working and that "he's a human dynamo!" "Are you sure you're talking about GEORGE?"
It's a recurring gag that once steinbrenner starts ranting george just leaves the office without him even noticing, dropping the crutches was a nice addition to it, george is so confident steinbrenner isn't taking notice of him any more he doesn't have to keep up the pretence.
Having been a super busy mom and gram the past 38 years, I missed out on so many funny hit shows, including Seinfeld. Last week I hurt my back and have been bingewatching. I've laughed out loud more times than I can count.
@@plunger8343 Thank God, I recovered after spending 8 days on my back. Heating pads and prayer got me through the pain, and the "toasta cheeses" and dishes of vanilla bean ice cream, the only foods which appealed to me, left me ten pounds lighter. I'm now back at the gym nightly with husband. Thanks for asking.
You could tell Mr. Costanza was warming up to berate Steinbrenner for trading Jay Buhner. Like he had been saving it and was waiting to use it, obviously no matter the occasion.
2:59 I wonder if that guy in the audience ever realiced how much he elevated the scene, that maniacal laught fits perfectly with Frank's insane reaction.
What a setup. Steinbrenner tells the Costanzas their son is dead, they're on the couch distraught. Finally, an emotionally overwrought Frank Costanza lays into Steinbrenner for trading Jay Buhner. LOL
They really made Steinbrenner look good through most of this episode. Not only was he genuinely concerned for George, he personally went to inform his parents. What other mega rich boss would do that for one of their low level employees?
This reminds me. Just yesterday at work this woman walked by wearing only a bathing suit, with a fishnet dress thing over it and a sunhat. This was a grocery store at 8am. Confused me and the manager mid conversation lol...
This is one of my favourite Seinfeld scenes of all. Frank is sitting there getting so worked up and is more concerned about why the Yankees traded away their best player rather then that his own son had just died! Brilliant!
1:31 - despite all the calamity, I think this is the most unsettling part of the situation for me. Jerry isn’t wearing sneakers, but boots/dockers. It doesn’t feel right.
So funny! Somehow that boss sitting in that chair/armchair reminded me of James Bond and those movies. He looked a bit "undercover". 😁😎🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🌌🌌🌌🌟🌟🌟 It was really funny when Goerge just walked away and left the boss's office. He just walked away and protested!! 😂😂😂 That was so funny!! 🤣🤣🤣

😁👍
Who is this?
@@-James-A Brahahahaha
😭😭😭😭😭😭
“Jerry it’s Frank Costanza Mr. Steinbrenner’s here George is dead call me back!” gold
4:00 are ya gonna tell your parents you're still alive
NOOO they could use a break"
HILARIOUS
"Aren't you gonna tell your parents you're still alive"
"Ahh they could use the break!"
Frank giving it to Steinbrenner over a trade after being told George is dead...that is the greatest thing ever.
Whats even more funny is Stienbrenner giving him an explanation.
@@inutero10 "Ken Phelps! Ken Phelps!"
Priorities.
"Are you sure you're talking about George?" Makes me crack up every time!
I love that if you focus on Frank from 2:43-2:56 you think he's in distress over George's apparent death but he's just really filling with rage having to sit in front of Mr. Steinbrenner and wanting to vent his frustrations over an unfavorable trade.
That was a REALLY bad trade though...
@@anadraham2995my baseball people kept saying Ken Phelps Ken Phelps!
And that trade happened about 6-8 years prior to this episode. Lmao
@@PocoMelons Jesus, that makes it even funnier. Frank ain't let it go.
I didn’t appreciate how genius Jerry Stiller was on this show when it was on the air. OMG, that guy is hilarious in an entirely original way.
Frank yelling at Steinbrenner itself sums up Seinfeld. He doesn't even care if his son is dead 😂 Dark humour made this a great comedy show.
Just awesome those people. 😂👍
Well, in fairness to Frank, how many chances is he going to get to let Steinbrenner know what he thought about those trades?
3:08 love Mrs. Costanza face during yelling match
The native New Yorker's sense of self importance is the over riding central theme of the show.
@@edgregory1 thats a great observation! Helps me understand the humor of the show better since Im not from the US
This is and always will be my favorite Seinfeld scene. The delivery of Frank yelling at Steinbrenner combined with the premise that his son is dead but he’s upset about Buhner for Phelps is amazing.
"We can't grieve forever!''...Literally 25 seconds later. Loll
I just heard Estelle Harris who played George's mom passed away at 93. My condolences to the family. She really gave the world a lot, thank you!
…and Liz Sheridan who played Jerry’s mother passed away 3 weeks after Estelle Harris.
@@Jotinko Yes, big hugs to their families :)
@@busylivingnotdying George’s parents were far better though. You see how George is the way he is.
@@beani24329 They R all Great. All the characters and side characters somehow gelled perfectly. In the words of Ace Ventura, like a glove. A truly special show that's a lightning in a bottle.
Jews
IMO, Frank's comment at 2:58 is the funniest moment in sitcom history. The sheer ridiculousness of the situation, and that's what he says...
And the fact that you can see the anger just boiling up inside him before he finally explodes with rage about a trade that took place 8 years before lol
You think that he's riddled with grief but he was really stewing. lol!
The way he looks leading up to it. He looks so distraught over his son’s death and then the comment reveals his anger over the trade was boiling over lol
Also thought it was funny that Steinbrenner had an explanation at the ready too lol
When Estelle is genuinely confused when Steinbrenner talks about all the long hours George had been working and that "he's a human dynamo!" "Are you sure you're talking about GEORGE?"
Even if George Costanza had died, Art Vandelay would live for all eternity
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Vandelay Industries is a fine business today
There would probably still be a bunch of little Georges pretending to be an architect.
@@BigBadJerryRogers Yah, but at Kramerica Industries they solved a world crisis by putting ketchup and mustard in the same bottle.
Right. But if George really was dead, who would run The Human Fund?
It’s hilarious how Steinbrenner didn’t even notice George taking off his bandage on his head and started walking away 😂
It's a recurring gag that once steinbrenner starts ranting george just leaves the office without him even noticing, dropping the crutches was a nice addition to it, george is so confident steinbrenner isn't taking notice of him any more he doesn't have to keep up the pretence.
Jerry Stiller: That slow burn until he explodes at Steinbrenner. Pure comedic genius.
1:42 How about a “good morning” lol
2:53 "Are you sure you're talking about George?"
Having been a super busy mom and gram the past 38 years, I missed out on so many funny hit shows, including Seinfeld. Last week I hurt my back and have been bingewatching. I've laughed out loud more times than I can count.
Hope all is well with you now

Silver Lining : You found Seinfeld 😅❤
You deserve a laugh.. good on you 🎉
@@PP-gy8gg Thank you. Back healed well. Laughter is the best medicine.
I love it when Steinbrenner always keeps on talking when the other person already left his office! 😂
GREAT show!😂👍
You could tell Mr. Costanza was warming up to berate Steinbrenner for trading Jay Buhner. Like he had been saving it and was waiting to use it, obviously no matter the occasion.
Frank has been waiting for that moment and he wasn't going to pass it up.
Half of NY would have said the same thing at the time
He tried 🤣 even when he heard his only son is dead
This episode is great. Jerry scolding George for helping him do dumb stuff. And the delivery of Frank's "call me back" line gets me everytime.
2:59
I wonder if that guy in the audience ever realiced how much he elevated the scene, that maniacal laught fits perfectly with Frank's insane reaction.
What a setup. Steinbrenner tells the Costanzas their son is dead, they're on the couch distraught. Finally, an emotionally overwrought Frank Costanza lays into Steinbrenner for trading Jay Buhner. LOL
"Jerry, it's Frank Costanza. Steinbrenner's here. George is dead. Call me back!" That's gold Jerry, gold!
They really made Steinbrenner look good through most of this episode. Not only was he genuinely concerned for George, he personally went to inform his parents. What other mega rich boss would do that for one of their low level employees?
Reminds me how yesterday’s fiction is today’s fake news 😂
What do you mean low level emplyees? He was assistant to the general manager. Lol
@@josephsmith5110 good point. I knew it was something like that. Lol. Either way best show ever!!!!
BACK TO BUSINESS!!
Well, George did introduced him to The delicious Eggplant Calzone.
I love how George ditches the crutches when he realizes isn't getting promotion
2:59 that laugh lol
In fairness to Mr Costanza, Buhner for Phelps is one of the most lopsided trades in the history of baseball. Lol
If you think that was bad look what he paid Hideki Irabu
The Yankees wanted Ken Phelps bad.
@@dspsblyuth AKA, "The fat toad".
I could name five trades the Yankees made in the 80s that were worse than Buhner for Phelps.
@@dspsblyuthDidn't Frank Costanza bring that up to George Steinbrenner during the courtroom hearing in The Finale?
Frank’s frantic whirlwind of a voicemail never fails to make me laugh 🤣
Are you sure you're talking about George?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's the funniest line don't you want to tell your parents you're still alive no they can use the break!!
"Mr. Steinbrenner, I've very concerning news!" Steinbrenner "How about Good Morning!" LOL
"They could use the break !"
It's funny how Frank cares more about George Steinbrenner's decisions about the players instead of his son's well-being.
Frank has accepted the kind of man his son is and is at peace with whatever fate George is dealt with. Lol
Until the 1996 season, all of Steinbrenner's decisions deserved scrutiny. Frank had his chance to express his feelings, and he didn't waste it.
@@steverogers7601 so true. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
It's consistent with the Seinfeld Ethos.
Frank going off on Steinbrenner is something only Seinfeld could think of or pull off.
That’s also how George got the job
2:58 is my favorite frank clip on the show.
Not a single ounce of concern for his son. Lol!
"How could you give twelve million dollars to Hideki Irabu?!"
Hilarious 😆
Steinbrenner voice is one of those rare characterizations that needs no face. 🤣😆🤣🤦🏻♂️
If only all death notifications were this hysterical!
This reminds me. Just yesterday at work this woman walked by wearing only a bathing suit, with a fishnet dress thing over it and a sunhat. This was a grocery store at 8am. Confused me and the manager mid conversation lol...
This is one of my favourite Seinfeld scenes of all. Frank is sitting there getting so worked up and is more concerned about why the Yankees traded away their best player rather then that his own son had just died! Brilliant!
Frank's message is up there with "She said curse word, I hang up."
George is dead. Call me back. - This has to be the funniest line in any tv series. 😂.
Frank arguing with GS is classic George lol
Steinbrenner doesn't bat an eye when George ditches the crutches and bandage right in front of him.
That accident was 100% Seinfeld fault, the last thing you want to do is distract Kramer while he's driving 😂😂
Taking Kramer along in the first place was the biggest mistake LOL
“Easy big Stein, get it together”
2:58 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:31 - despite all the calamity, I think this is the most unsettling part of the situation for me. Jerry isn’t wearing sneakers, but boots/dockers. It doesn’t feel right.
Steinbrenner doesn’t even care that George walks out uninjured.
Ikr. So funny. 😆
"R u sure you are talking about George?" 😄😁😄
Best Frank Costanza scene without a doubt.
Shoutout to the guy in the audience who lost it when frank started yelling
Of all the funny scenes in Seinfeld over the years, and there are more than one can count, this is my favorite.
It's impossible to make another show this funny.
“My car is a little CRUMBLED!?!”😂
Crumpled
Omg; "are you sure you're talking about George?" Line 😂
Hey, yelling at the owner of your favorite team is less then a once of a lifetime chance...
this really is the funniest show to ever come out. only show we watched in my house during the week no tv but seinfeld
One episode a night for me since 2003.
The moment Frank opened his mouth is pure comedy gold!!!!! 😂
even before that, with him just stewing in anger on the couch
"Jerry, this is Frank Costanza Steinbrenner is here, George is dead. Call me back!"
“Mr Steinbrenner I am very concerned about George Costanza.”
“How about a Good Morning.” Keeps me in 😂😂😂😂
"They could use the break"
LMAO
It's funny because growing up my dad always wondered why they traded Buhner away
Because he was playing macho head games and stroking his own massive ego
The Yankees wanted Ken Phelps bad.
The days before the Steinbrenner suspension were wild!
Love how Jerry kicks the muffler under the car
“My car’s a little crumpled?!?!!?”
back to business! BACK TO BUSINESS!
It funny that Steinbrenner when to the parent without confirming the death
Classic Steinbrenner
I’m just sitting here thinking: “Man, imagine Bonds and Griffey with Jeter and co.”
Frank Costanza 😂
Haha when George walks out not using the crutches anymore, lol.
Love how their son is at least supposedly dead, but his mom questions his having that work ethic (wonder why,) and his dad gets upset about a trade.
Reminds me of when Susan tells her she loves George, and Mrs Costanza asks why! lol
@@joandante3106 pretty much the same concept.
That entire part shows why george is how he is
I feel like my mom would've reacted the same way.
3:18 gold
I'll tell you something: You know a trade when horribly wrong for your team when it gets referenced this way. Classic! :D
This might just be the best scene of the entire series
Id be upset if I traded the Bone too! He's a legend here. Still does commercials for a local Truck Dealership. 😎
I'm shocked that Jerry isn't wearing sneakers!
They're at Mom & Pops.😀
Kicking fender under car. Gold!
watching this on 144p just to get the original feeling of watching Seinfeld :))
Omg, you're right
How come Steinbrenner jumped to conclusions so easy?
He was always like that. He would jump to conclusions and fire people like it was a bodily function
Wilhelm implied he got into some horrible accident because of the state of the car and the fact he was missing.
Rip ESTELL gonna miss you😭😭 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love the way George just gives up the charade & leaves
0:26 ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT! I'LL DO IT! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think Steinbrenner’s hands are the same from that episode with a woman with big hands
That's a good pickup. Yes big hands opposite Frank
George's father doesn't GAF.
He’s like a Phoenix, rising from Arizona
How could you trade Jay Bruener he had 30 home runs and 100 RBIs you don't know what your doing😅😅😅
Jay Buhner, Ken Phelps, and their infamous trade will be forever immortalized by this episode.
"How about a good morning" 🤣🤣🤣
Pure priceless humor.
Bonds and Griffey on the same team...seems like a quick way to get to the World Series
Who’s going to pitch?
@@dspsblyuth You let Big Stein worry about that
when you get distracted during a video game online rank match at 1:09 lol
So funny! Somehow that boss sitting in that chair/armchair reminded me of James Bond and those movies. He looked a bit "undercover". 😁😎🛰️🛰️🛰️🛰️🌌🌌🌌🌟🌟🌟
It was really funny when Goerge just walked away and left the boss's office. He just walked away and protested!! 😂😂😂 That was so funny!! 🤣🤣🤣
Ikr 🤣👍
I always like Frank blasting Stienbrenner's trade.
Frank was in advanced denial, and focused only on the baseball.
In a complicated world ..........u have to set priorities.......
2:58 to 3:21 is the funniest thing in the history of the universe.
Steinbrenner imagining the taste of grubs and puddle water is an underrated joke in this scene
'Costanza's Dead!!!'
☮
R.I.P. Family Constanza!
George is still alive
3:09 Steinbrenner should have responded with the Tino Martinez Trade ...............
The first episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Moving Violations.
