By all accounts, Jason Alexander sounds like a delightful man who is hopefully quite content on this, his 55th birthday. George Costanza, his alter ego through nine seasons on Seinfeld (a few guest spots on Curb Your Enthusiasm and one odd episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,) always seemed like the exact opposite of delightful and content.
Temperamental, rude, self-absorbed, and self-hating, we should have despised George but despite his failings the character was and still is beloved because the writers were able to use him, more than any other character on the show, to confront their own (and our own) irritations with modern life and our fellow man.
The Jerk Store’s all-time bestseller, George rarely took on the outside world with style, grace, and wit. Instead, the constantly put upon Costanza howled with vigor at those who dared offend or annoy him. Don’t get me wrong, there were moments of joy for George Costanza and those were celebrated with a more positive kind of exuberance, but George was his most George like and the champion of the perturbed masses when he was blowing his top. So with that in mind, here are 10 of George Costanza’s best outbursts, presented in no particular order.
