Fans discuss a memorable George line from The Van Buren Boys where he claims a gang sign was valid when he was "bangin'," with appreciation for the comedic timing and absurdity of the moment.

In the episode with Kramer and the Van Buron boys, when George is in the street at night with all the goons and they say "If you're one of us flash us the sign." Then George does some goofy sign and the guys says "Thats not the sign" Then George says "WAS WHEN I WAS BANGIN!!!"

actually, not to be an ass but I like things as they really are: it's pool, not water.

ahh, my mistake. I'm pretty sure it's "deli", not "delicatessen" as well....

"A George divided against himself cannot stand!" I'll have to get that whole speech from Newsguy's site. What was the episode name? I love it, because at the time I first saw it, I was dating a very Susan-esque woman and I have more than a few of George's qualities. When I saw it, it was all I could do to stand up in our living room and shout, "That's us!" I think it was in another episode where George says that going to her apartment was like going to a prison cell. Brother, did I know exactly what he was talking about. Can you tell why George is my favorite character?

Paul Atreides offered the following:

'The Pool Guy'. My favourite speech too in probably my favourite episode.

Actually, I believe Jerry and co. didn't find this line funny, they had alternatives which were, IMO, much funnier. Alas, I don't remember them. I think Jerry's was the funniest. That's what I remember. What were the lines already?

"pinkish hue"

I believe "rosy glow" was also used.

Who cares about eyebrows? That's on of the funniest lines ever. He cares about EVREYthing. If he can get his hand out of her hair if he 'pets' her, etc. But then, Who cares about eyebrows? I must've laughed for a couple minutes non-stop.
