Exactly. George invokes society when he sees somebody getting away with something and thinks, "Dammit! I know I couldn't get away with that!"

George: "I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable."

"The Chicken Roaster," and it's when he leaves the room in order to make his dates remember his name.

"Elaine just laughed at me and Kramer's only interested in Canadian football"

That's just like Kramer. He probably likes the rouge. Loves it.

"The Label Maker" is such a fantastic episode. The Risk game, the menage a tois callback, the "Draped in velvet" line mentioned earlier and the line Jerry delivers about Watley

"I think he re-gifted then de-gifted and now is using an upstairs invite as a springboard to Super Bowl sex romp!"

The best part about that line is George's little arm/fist pump thing. Unfortunately, I cannot find a video clip.

The funneist thing I've been thinking about recently is george offering the susan ross scholarship to a young aspiring architect with a solid 2.0 GPA. George chooses him instantly when he tries lying about being a chess player.

GEORGE: so, uh, Steven.. I see you're president of the chess club.

STEVEN: State champs.

GEORGE: Who's your favorite chess player?

STEVEN: (Hesitating, he mumbles) Nastercoff?

GEORGE: Right. (Mumbles) Nastercoff.. What country is he from, again?

STEVEN: (Sighs) I don't know.. I made it up. (Gets up to leave) I'm never gonna get this thing.

GEORGE: (Gets up, stopping him) Woah, woah, woah! What are you telling me for? You really had me going, there! C'mon, sit down. (They both sit back down)

And doesn't George's protege end up having lied about being such a loser in the first place, as he's actually some hardass member of a street gang whose gangsign Kramer knows but George doesn't?

As I recall, the other members of the Foundation convince the kid he doesn't want to be an architect, then the kid and the rest of them start making fun of architects, so George takes away the scholarship and he joins the gang.

Living on past glories
I was watching Mad Men and one of the lines made me think about an exchange in "The Statue"

quote:

RAY: Well, that's because I'm registered under my full legal name, Raymond Thomas Wochinski. Ray Thomas is my professional name.

GEORGE: You mean alias.

RAY: You are starting to make me angry.

GEORGE: Well, that was bound to happen!

I had to pause the show because of my giggling.

It makes me wonder how someone like Jerry could stand to be longtime friends with someone like George.

George is the type of person who you'd be sort of friends with as a kid because you liked the same comic books, but eventually you'd want to disassociate yourself from him in order to avoid social alienation.

I think it's really important to keep in mind that Jerry Seinfeld is a horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible person and George is a real kindred spirit. He also makes Jerry look a hell of a lot better by comparison. Jerry gets away with a lot of poo poo because George is right there next to him being worse. It's like putting Mussolini next to Hitler, nobody really focuses on Mussolini's bad points when Hitler is right there.

Because Jerry is hosed up too. George's misery is entertainment; George is like a TV Jerry can have coffee with.

Edit:

I'm watching "The Dinner Party", which is an episode that puts me off for some reason, but I love this:

George: "I really cannot comprehend how stupid people can be sometimes. Can you comprehend it?"
Kramer: "No, I can't comprehend it."
George: "I mean, we can put a man on the moon but we're still basically very stupid. The guy who's car this is, he could be one of the guys that built the rocket. You see what I'm saying?"
Kramer: "Well, yeah, he can build the rocket, but he's still stupid for double-parking and blocking somebody in."
George: "So you really understand my point about building the rocket and double-parking?"
Kramer: "On the one hand he's smart with rockets... and on the other hand he's dumb with parking."
