George Louis Costanza, aka Georgie, is one of the main characters on Seinfeld. Even though he's best friends with Jerry, there isn't an iota of similarity between the two characters. George is neurotic, greedy, selfish, insecure, and miserly. Ironically these are the qualities that make fans love George's character.
After Cosmo Kramer, George is the silliest character on the show. Some of his antics include claiming he's an architect and a marine biologist, wearing a punchable Gore-Tex jacket, and throwing away a lifetime of guilt-free sex! You have to show George some respect, for he is Costanza, Lord of the idiots! Here are 10 memes in support of the statement.
The First Photobomb
Ah, pop culture's first photobomb! George Costanza is credited with inventing the photobomb. He bombs this family-photo, vindictively eyeing the members in the background. It was in 1997 in "The Slicer" that George's boombox incident was described. The story dates back to the summer of '89 and George is at the beach.
A family with two kids set up next to George. George goes in to surf, later to discover his belongings are gone. A furious George screams at these kids, demanding his stuff back. And then finally he loses it. He grabs their boombox to throw it into the ocean. Turns out the man in the family photo is George's current boss, Daniel Kruger. George breaks into Kruger's office and steals the photograph to airbrush himself out it.
Dress Like Costanza
It's the 90s! This meme suggests Geoge Costanza is the biggest style inspiration in terms of clothing.
The fashion trends of the 90s are back in 2020. Bomber jackets, belt digesting animals (fanny packs), puffer jackets -- George has worn it all. History fashion repeats itself. Only this time it comes with an extra dash of George Costanza. One could raid his wardrobe for some stylish clothes. Who would have thought Costanza would become the style icon of 2020!
Rageholic Anonymous And McDonald's
How on point is this meme! George's "I'm losin' it" sounds similar to McDonald's slogan -- I'm lovin' it. Besides being a miser, George was a rageholic, too. The man could lose his cool over the tiniest of instances. George was far from being like his calm and composed friend, Jerry Seinfeld.
Given that George's parents were neurotic, it's only natural he too would inherit such a trait. George howled and raged like no other. He screamed at people everywhere, on the streets, in restaurants, gym showers. In "The Apology", George is invited to an anger management class by Jason Hanke's sponsor. An unaware George is there for revenge, not rage.
The Summer Of George
George Costanza seems in tune with the Corona pandemic of 2020! A homebody who ate all day long was the definition of a loser in the world before COVID-19. But now, staying home is the new cool. If one stays home, they stay safe.
George Costanza would indeed be TIME person of the year, for this reason. 2020 must be proclaimed -- THE SUMMER OF GEORGE!
A Driver Like George
Indeed, nobody does. And nobody can beat George Costanza in the act of self-praise. In "The Parking Space", George and Elaine are driving in Jerry's car. The car makes a clanking noise because of Elaine. She moved the front mirror to check her sunglasses, throwing off George's equilibrium.
Elaine blames the mishap on George's bad driving. Rageholic George says nobody drives like him. This meme is reflective of the self-praising driver. The one who beats estimates and thinks he drives like no other.
The Sea Waves
This quote comes from "The Marine Biologist." In this episode, Jerry meets Diane DeConn from Queen's College who inquires about the goof-off, George. Jerry lies about George's thriving career in marine biology and his specialization in whales.
Because of this, George gets a date at the beach with Diane. Now, George must save a dying beached whale because he's a marine biologist. Which he does, by the way. Later at Monk's, he narrates the story to his pals: "The sea was angry that day, my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli."
Gore-Tex
Well when you wear Gore-Tex, you can survive the polar vortex! This meme serves a useful reminder, besides being incredibly funny.
George wore a Gore-Tex jacket in "The Dinner Party." It was really cold outside, the scary kind of cold -- the kind cold that kills people in North America. But not anymore! Get yourself a punchable Gore-Tex and ta-da!
Online Dating
This meme summarises girl issues like no other. It is also a summary of what online dating is like. Why couldn't George act with the ones he liked the same way he did with the ones he didn't like?
Maybe he really did need someone who didn't speak English. Maybe he needed a mute. The question then arises is, where does one meet a mute? The answer is simple, online.
The Soup Nazi
This iconic George Costanza quote comes from an equally iconic episode, "The Soup Nazi." Soups are a healthy addition to the winter menu. In fact, they are one of the key comfort foods one can enjoy during the winter season.
This meme suggests as soon as the weather changes, your dietary pattern should follow. People should then focus and shift into soup mode! Which soup to make and what ingredients to add is a huge exercise for people -- just like ordering soup from the Soup Nazi.
Totally Relatable
It's April 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 has changed the world order. The news is dominated by distasteful and woeful stories of the Coronavirus pandemic. And so is the meme world. Amidst all of this, funny lockdown and pandemic memes keep hitting the internet.
George Costanza's iconic "Why must there always be a problem?" finds itself at the center of it! 2020 hasn't been a good year so far and it's only April. But here's to hope. Godspeed, world!
