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
George went from being unemployed and living with his parents to working for the most famous baseball team on Earth and eating lunch with the owner. The kid's a human dynamo.
@idoj654123 That reminds me of the episode of curb when the weatherman predicted rain just so that he could have the golf course to himself the next day.
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.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU TRADE JAY BUHNER FOR!!?? HE HAD 30 HOME RUNS, OVER 100 RBI'S LAST YEAR! HE'S GOT A ROCKET FOR AN ARM! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE DOING!!!" LOLOLOLOL!
"I have an idea for Steinbrenner's character. I'll write these crazy absurd lines and we'll dub my voice in while only showing the back of an actors head" Larry David is a comic genius.
LD fucking KILLS this voice over role for Steinbrenner! 😂 Just imagining the facial expressions he was probably making off screen makes it even better....
Larry needs to bring Steinbrenner back to life in a new series... you never get to see his face, just him walking around on the street, driving his car etc... just Steinbrenner being himself informing others of his opinions on things and just generally causing trouble! (hilarious)
“So! I thought tomorrow we’d try a little corn beef! 😄” “Corn beef... Eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh iiiii don’t think so, it’s a little fatty don’t ya think?” “How about Chinese?” “Chinese? NOPE! Too many container, big mess, big mess very sloppy” 😂😂
“I’m very concerned about George Costanza.” “How about a ‘good morning’?” “…good morning, sir.” Everything he says is funny no matter how insignificant
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. I also love how Frank flips out about the baseball team (like a George did when first got hired) after being told his son is dead instead of about his son's death
Just when I thought I love Seinfeld morning in the world I love Larry David more than anybody in the world I'm hooked on his curb your enthusiasm I love every episode!!
First thing I heard when I heard Bernie Sanders speak. He's MR STEINBRENNER ! I was waiting for Bernie to demand that he be brought some delicious calzones for lunch tomorrow..
What the hell did trade jay buiner for? He had 30 home runs last year,over 100 rbi last year,he’s got a rocket for an arm,YOU DONT WHAT THE HELL YOUR DOING
11:20 Well wait a minute, Steinbrenner was actually *happy* when he thought George was a communist, because that meant the Yankees could have access to Cuban baseball talent - he even sent George down there to speak to Castro (who turned out to be a Cuban version of Steinbrenner), so why is he saying he had a problem with George being a communist?
I've got a whole new perspective about this character after watching "Curb Your Enthusiasm", how I love Larry David! It reminds me of his freak out moments, especially when he thinks everyone eating Oscar at a beach wedding ("You're eating a dooooog!!!!!")
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.
At the trial too ... "How can you spend 12 million on Hideki Irabu?!l
dudley magnet you could redo this scene today only instead of Steinbrenner you could feature James Dolan with the Knicks. He’s a moron.
Frank is/was legend
My people wanted Ken Phelps bad

He's got eggplant on his mind.😂

Lol.
Don't forget being a hen supervisor in a top flight bird operation.
Started from the bottom now he’s here I guess! Lol
And almost a bra salesman
You sure you're talking about George?
I love the way how George walks away when Steinbrenner goes off on a tangent

The way he throws himself out the door is a great manic touch 😂
Best side character in the entire series. Larry David was the genius and main brain behind the show. I am blown away. Bloowwwowowowown
J peterman is superiour
Why don't we ever see Steinbrenner?
It wasn't "Larry David", it was Steinbrenner.
Good to see my favorite metal channel have good tastes elsewhere too.
@@jordanabeaulieu2530 because he's ugly
The whole bit about George working for the Yankees and Steinbrenner’s character were brilliant. This show is a timeless work of art.
My favorite period of time in this series. His jobs after the Yankees just didn't hold up in terms of comedic writing to me
"Hire this man"
"It's just empty calories and male curiosity, eh Georgie?". What a line hahaha.
When you realize that Larry David provided the voice for Steinbrenner the whole thing becomes 100x funnier lol
It actually stays just as funny
Yo it was Larry David?????
Never knew this
Haha I just found out now, December 2018
It ruined it for me

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.
The scene w Jerry Stiller & Larry David is iconic. Two of the funniest people in television history.
I love the way the voice obviously doesn't sync up with the actor playing Steinbrenner. Somehow that makes it even funnier.
Larry David's Steinbrenner is unforgettable. Still fresh after 20 years
By far the funniest character in the series.. everytime I hear someone say "calzone" I think of Steinbrenner from Seinfeld! (hahahahahha)
Murat Harman Everytime I hear someone say "calzone", I think of the pizza guy saying "hey, what the hell do I know about cooking a shirt, huh?"
I had my first "Seinfeld" Calzone in a pizza Cafe in Thailand of all places
(yes it was wood fired good)
The genius Larry David.
He is an actual genius

No lie, Steinbrenner’s office is gorgeous looking. All that wood, even the door is the same color as the walls!
Clearly he respects wood!
Why would George steal from the yankees?
"Come in, come in. George, the word around the office is that you're a communist."
and sends him to Cuba to negotiate with Fidel Castro for Cuban baseball players to come play for the Yankees.
@@TheFanboy19 And Castro is Steinbrenner with a Cuban accent

awful but classic
I love it when George just walks away while Steinbrenner keeps on ranting.
Steinbrenner- " From 1973 to 1982, I ate the exact same lunch every day."
3:46 - “We must find George” LD’s delivery kills me every time 🤣🤣🤣
Just wanted to point out that "He could be bleeding to death in the bullpen" may be the greatest quote of all time.
George taking a nap under his desk at work is hilarious!!
Heartbreaker! Love taker... Shoemaker, won't you shine my shoes for FREE
Empty calories and male curiositaay, ey Georgaaay xD
8:54 "Ahhh. Just empty calories and male curiosity, aye, Georgie?"
2:20 Incomplete bit, but what's funny is that the Yankees actually fired Buck Showalter IRL soon after this episode! LMFAO! :D

GET BETTER GEORGE, GET BETTER
CHAOS DOESNT WORK FOR THE NEW YORK YANKEES!! NOT AS LONG AS IM RUNNING THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!! LOL
“Hmm...just empty calories and male curiosity, eh George-y.” LOL
I love how clearly you can tell Steinbrenner or the dude playing him is not actually talking and it’s a voice over
It's Larry David's voice, dumbass.
Steinbrenner is like a GTA-V character: he moves a lot, but his speech is hardly syncing😜😝😂 Larry did a fantastic job.
" I smell a pennant ".
" The kid was a human dynamo ".
Larry needs to bring Steinbrenner back to life in a new series... you never get to see his face, just him walking around on the street, driving his car etc... just Steinbrenner being himself informing others of his opinions on things and just generally causing trouble! (hilarious)
Hard to do. Steinbrenner has been dead for 9 years.

Steinbrenner is literally me when someone starts me off on talking about something I have a big interest in.
My brother-in-law was in there for a couple weeks. He was obsessed with lactating women. The cured him although he still eats a lot of cheese. XD
Thats just empty calories and male curiousity ehhh Georgie?
I almost died the first time I saw that scene!
"Are you sure you're talking about George?"
You can put that fancy mustard on a shoe and it would taste pretty good to me.

Lol the way George just mosey’s out of Steinbrenner’s office.
My current boss is just like him. At a certain point you just have to start walking away 😂😂😂
Billy Martin. . .😂
That “February” joke 😂
i am blown. Blown away! blown george. bloowooowooowooowoon!
I remember i was gasping for air the first time i heard that.
Larry David did a great job playing Steinbrenner. He was always funny every time.
The bits with Steinbrenner are my favorite scenes from this show.
the many quotes of Steinbrenner are basically my beliefs spoken at a high speed
Always funny when George steinbrenner would talk and go on and on. George Costanza would nod and slowly exit the room classic and funny.
“How about a good morning?” lololol
One of my favorites
Your job will be waiting for you when'll be back

Remarkable characterization by Larry David, extraordinary!!
Every work place has a George Costanza.
“Wait, What’s that thing straight ahead? Is that anything? IS THAT MOTHRA!?!”
GET BETTER GEORGE! GET BETTERRRRR!

You knew something wild was but Jerry Stiller still managed to hit a home run out of nowhere with that line. That scene is pure gold.
"pilfering the equipment" lol
I love how George just moves his arms when he's walking away. He knows he can't say anything else to Mr. Steinbrenner.
