Fans share their favorite George Costanza quotes, with particular praise for his deadpan delivery and absurdist humor throughout the series.
What is everyone's favorite George quote here is mine:
Towards the very end of the "Bubble Boy" when George arrives at the cabin with Susan, and Jerry
Susan : Oh no my fathers cabin
George : I just realized you never gave me back the change from the tolls
HILARIOUS

Definitely! Or this one: "Finally my stupidity pays off!" or "You know, they always remember the first time. I don't want to be remembered. I wanna be forgotten." Both from The Virgin. Well anyways, George is great, especially the way he talks is so funny!
"A George divided cannot stand", I don't know the episode name but it was hilarious. "Mailman" wrote in message news:[email]...
Yeah thats the one - when hes being dragged out the pictures at the end!

My favorite is when he and Jerry are waiting for Elaine with her Dad so they can go to dinner. They're scared of this grouchy old man and try to figure out how they can escape. George says, "We'll say we're frightened and we have to go home!" I LOVE that line. Lee
That day, Sat, 17 Nov 2001 19:14:36 GMT dawned fine and sunny in alt.tv.seinfeld, and Lee says to me...
"Funny guy huh? We had a funny guy with us in Korea..."
Oh yeah, that is one of his best quotes. But i prefer "You're killing independent George" :)
I kinda' like George in a panic. For example: "Tippytoe! Tippytoe!"
Or: "Vandelay! Say Vandelay! Vandelay Industries!"
But my favorite was George holding his eyes open so he wouldn't wink, and growling: "GET IT BACK!"

That is when he is worlds funnier than Jerry, when he's feaking out. My fav George freakout is when he is moving cars for Sid and he screams out the window and of course he adds the famous line, "these pretzels are making me thirsty"

I have got one where Georgy Boy kisses on Susan's chick in front of NBC guys, where he wants to break up with Susan. In next scene, after hearing on phone that NBC guys have fired Susan. He walks away from phone in very gloomy mood/fashion and finally bursts into joy telling "Finally my stupidity paid off..."

How about this classic: George takes the Rosses to his fake house in the Hamptons:
"Wanna get nuts? LET'S GET NUTS!"
The names of his horses, Snoopy and Prickley Pete...very funny!

"How come you didn't send me a Christmas card?" The look on his face after Elaine gives him his own personal 'Christmas card'.
"... and then it came to me, the pick. I was in up to my elbow."
That exchange with Timmy is great. Even though Timmy had a point, it was the way he treated George with the first sneer when he was introduced just made it seem like Timmy was begging for this fight with George.
I think in the pick, he says "up to my wrist". Even though they didn't show it, I can picture Susan's reaction to it sort of like when George was pretending to be a smoker in front of her. "I can't *cough* quit now!"

There are so many, but the one that comes to mind at the moment is when Jerry tells George he had sex with Elaine. George asks for details, and Jerry says he isn't in the mood. The speech that follows by George to tell him to get in the mood is wonderful. From memory of course, "You ask me to come down here. You said you had sex with Elaine and you're not in the mood. I have no job.....you get in the mood!". Anyone have the exact scene available to post?

In an episode somebody says, "what's good for the goose is good for the gander". George goes, "what is the gander anyways?" -Tom

I rarely read and post on newsgroups but this topic caught my attention. My favorite George quote would have to be from the episode "The Wink".
Jerry: Pulp can't cross the table George: Pulp can move baby
"Are you trying to sat that I went out of my way to tell her that even though you handed her the salad, I actually paid for it." -Bob
Pulp can move, baby.
Are you using my babies?
The sea was angry that day, my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli.
If relationship George walks through that door, he will kill independent George.
Finally, my stupidity pays off.
My name is George, I'm unemployed, and I live with my parents.
Salsa or Seltzer?
Remember, it's not a lie, .... if you believe it.
George is getting very upset.
You know I've always wanted to pretend to be an architect.
She tried to use the "it's not you, it's me" line.
And my all time fave:
Shut your traps and stop kicking the seats! We're trying to watch the movie! And if I have to tell you again, we're gonna take it outside and I'm gonna show you what it's like! You understand me? Now, shut your mouths or I'll shut'em for ya, and if you think I'm kidding, just try me. Try me. Because I would love it!

Without the use of quotation marks, that George line sound like something someone would say to a drug smuggler (herioin in the diaper) or a question posed to Kathie Lee outside a sweat shop. ; )
^^^^^^ "Art is often hailed as the grandest expression of human spirit, but we know now ... that the grandest expression of human spirit is whatever it takes for a man or woman to rush back into a burning building to save more people."
What's interesting about that scene, is that it is Susan who is pounding on the Bubbleboy that starts his spacesuit thing to leak, but George is the one who gets all the blame.
The attitude of the Bubbleboy is great. Who played him?
