Fans discuss George's candy bar lineup scene from The Dealership, with mixed reactions ranging from praise for classic George to criticism of the bit as unfunny and poorly executed.

The classic George that, to my mind, may be equalled (independant George, Summer of George, George's answer phone) but cannot be surpassed:

"Wouldn't you agree he would have no problem picking one out from a candy lineup" "A candy lineup?" "I've spent the last hour preparing 10 candy bars, with no wrappers or identification of any kind for him to select from" "Took you an hour?" "I give you, the candy lineup" "And you, how many twix does that make for you today?, like 8 twix?" "Now give me one, give me a twix"

I never understood why George didn't just eat some of these Twix that he bought if he was so extremely hungry. We never found out where he bought these from. Obviously not in the vending machine because George didn't have any money right? That is why he had to borrow a dollar from Jerry for the first Twix that got stuck.

Yeah, that's why The Dealership is one of my least favorite episodes. As I've mentioned before, it starts out so promising with George's problems with the vending machine and Kramer's test drive, but then it ends so poorly with the candy bar lineup problems you pointed out, not to mention Kramer's salesman unexpectedly going nutty.

I like the tone of the manager when George introduces him to the candy lineup. The disbelief, mixed with a little sarcasm, rolls off his tongue so well.

"took you an hour?"

See, here's what I've always thought :

As hungry as George is, it's more important to him to prove he's right - hence using the candy bars as "proof" rather than food.

It's not bad.

But (as we learned "The Secret Code) George is weak, spineless and a man of temptations... But what tempts him? It's not the salty snacks he craves... His is a sweet tooth! He will always submit to his dark master, the cocoa bean.

So I conclude that there is no way that this man, George, would not have immeidiately scarfed down any and all twix bars that fell into his possession.

True, but if George had access to other candy bars and the money to pay for it, it just makes the entire plotline useless and pointless.

What would have stopped him from buying an extra candy bar for himself? Obviously, he couldn't have been THAT hungry, and it gives me less reason to sympathize, or for that matter care.

I agree, this is one of my least favorite episodes too. It's as if the writers just gave up halfway through it.

Thats George at his worst I'm afraid - any by worst I mean unfunny and lame.

Paladyr25Joe3000

lame.

I have to admit though, I lauged my ass off when George yelled to the salesman "Hold it, one more step and we're walking" just because he said "May I help you".

I disagree Joe. George displays all that is best about his paranoia and obsessive behaviour in this act.
