Fans discuss and quote George's memorable line about inventing the "it's not you, it's me" breakup phrase, with appreciation for his comedic delivery and comparisons to classic TV comedy.
One of george's greatest lines is the "It's not you, it's me" one (did Seinfeld--meaing the Show, not Jerry personally--really coin this like all the other catch phrases of theirs?)
George: "You're giving me the 'its not you, it's me routine?' I invented 'it's not you, it's me.' Nobody tells me it's them, not me. If it's anyone, it's me"
George's Girlfriend: "Alright, George, it's you!!!"
George: "You're damn right it is!!!!!!"
Oh my GOD! Do you know that line from memory? Wow...impressive. Do you remember the line about Jerry always being "even steven"? What did he say about himself?? I always try to catch that episode but have missed it so far.

How about the line:
George: You had to get the B I G..... S A L A D while he is waving his arms
This scene is reminiscent of Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) in his Honeymooners skits - 'George' did it very well!
My favorite George moment ever would have to be when he came out of his fiance's bathroom with his shirt off in the middle of the big party, looks at Jerry, and says, "I have my shirt off, don't I?"
Jerry nods.
George nods like, "It could only happen to me"
In one episode, George leaves this message on Jerry's answering machine:
"It's George...I got nothin' to say."
