How To: Look like you're busy. The George Costanza way

[jukka4president]

its so true! i see no flaw in this theory. im a great proponent of it too! it also works to get people not to bother you

[sacolton]

I shuffle papers and look annoyed for 8 hours. Easy work!

[TheBackOfTheBoat]

that would work for everyone if everyone had george steinbrenner for a boss.

[PAVMATHIE]

I love George! this reminds me of some people at my work, now I know were they learned this

[TB4000]

This actually does work at my office because most of the supervisors are too fucking young to even recall what Seinfeld is. -_-

[fightthepower460]

Which episode is this from?

[EmceeWhiteNoise]

If you’re a Seinfeld fan, then check out “The Seinfeld Rap” that I made. I also made a music video/picture show to go along with it. I put a lot of work into it and if you’re a fan of the show, I think you will really like it. Check out my channel, it is my latest upload. Thank you for listening.

[rickyrn1984]

7 people are pretending to be busy

[KaiserVadin]

@rickyrn1984 7+ people are pretending to be 406+ people that like this video

[comprehensiveboy]

I'm looking annoyed right now. But its because these schmucks aren't funny.

[askjiir]

@comprehensiveboy

Seinfeld isn't for everyone.

[uateva]

Classic!

[MrRiggyRiggs]

Elaine is a light and dark lady, looks good sometimes, other times you want to smack her with an ugly stick, you dont know who you are getting.

[askjiir]

@MrRiggyRiggs

It's the make up, doughnut brains.

[sharpnova2]

a lot of people do this. it's fairly instinctive.

funny to point it out though.

[wogacelli]

I actually use this at my work as well! It works! George's advice = Win

[InfiniteRhombus]

I do that all the time, it actually does work.

[scottarick93]

George didn't pay.

[Indaheezay]

Acting annoyed to look busy...

This man is a genius.

[simonfrouws]

5 people dont know how to look bizzy

[Oberwoot]

@simonfrouws one person doesn't know how to spell 'busy'

[chambrau]

Perfect, I will practice this as a Pharmacist. :)

[TheJaden196]

It works u do it in history

[m33lad]

ppl in Toronto do a amazing job of what George is saying!! "the more you pretend you're busy? SOMEHOW THE BETTER You LIFE IS!!" so these morons think!

[TOSportsFan1990]

@m33lad haha that is so true, i go to school in toronto (george brown college) and i notice that all the time

[elmers06]

best thing that ever appeared on a screen.

[lovepeacebliss]

I truely use this so my job doesnt give me more work to do

[P0IS0N]

This is all the advice I ever needed for work.

[Lostio]

This is, amongst many others, one of the things Seinfeld was spot-on about. This really works, you do look busy.

[MikeAM78]

"Seinfeld" is in a league of it's own. There will never be another show like it, and everything that tries to copy it just fails miserably.

[calalilygirl]

@MikeAM78 Absolutely. Well said.

[stephanienyc1]

I do this at work sometimes!!!

[gullwing14]

I do this at school. Fools 'em every time.

[videopig07]

I know a guy just like this. He must have watched this clip.

[akisgr8101]

man!!!!!!!!!!!! there wont be anything like seinfeld on tv ever again

[nicci833]

@akisgr8101 true but something better is Curb Your Enthusiasm....starring Larry David, co-creator of Seinfeld :)

[57rfx]

@akisgr8101 I honestly think The Office is in the same vein. Still not at the level of Seinfeld, but I love the Office. It, too, is a show about nothing. haha

[punkmusicmetal]

LOL. So many people do this during finals. And sometimes I catch them watching youtube. Oh Seinfeld, you know too much about life.

[blackwizard00]

This shit is saving my ass at work every day. George, my hat is off to you.

[silentghost23]

Hes right it does work, tried and proven

[snookerjam]

Seinfield....without doubt the best sit com ever prodused. The genius characters its absolutely perfect. So much rubbish today but we always got our guys (and girls)

[ubernate860]

Thumbs up if you noticed he left without paying ;) hehehe

[SK84ANGELDUST]

@ubernate860 he's such a cheap bastard!!!! lol

[thecheezycheez1996]

Oops sorry

[SweetChick10101]

This makes me laugh so much! Costanza philosophy....

[Chief70]

This works! One day I placed a few random binders around my desk and did the annoyed look, and then my manager came by and said "Man, you look really busy!"

[2010metsfan]

Brilliant idea by George...try it sometime!

[Kobobble]

I've tried that after seeing this. People believe it

[fluentinsilence]

I've done this exact thing many times at my previous workplace and high school. It works like a charm.

[lilsean616]

Elaine has shiksapeal.

[Robstailey]

i did that through the entirety of high school

[TripleB711]

i do it all the fucking time. but yeah, sometimes i really am annoyed.

[DaftJok3r]

More life-changing tips from Costanza: Lord of the Idiots.

[CamTroid]

this is what they should teach in business school.

[phillyeagles217]

This worked Monday @ work

LOLZ

[MightyChoctaw]

I've found this to be an important workplace skill. Possibly the most important of them all.

[TulipXX]

Gotta love George

[illisanantexico]

0:37  made my day... I've actually pulled that one.

[kutuluu]

Works great for me, but it helps that usually am already annoyed at work

[nickmordo]

The jerk store called...they're runnin out of you!!

[austix1997]

I'm gonna try this

[Breeslave]

I'm a lot like George Costanza and he is the real Gen X male

[yosoyelfercho]

george was the best!!

[AenemaToology]

"You tell that son of a bitch! No Yankee is ever coming to Houston! Not as long as you bastards are running things!"

[TheJulienChan]

genius

[chitch4155]

haha i do this when im walking to avoid people trying to hand out pamphlets and such

[gannable]

fat jealous woman

[magnum66]

"Is everything alright George?"

"Well, I'VE GOT A LOT TO DO!!!!"

[klwewf]

I do this a lot in MY life.

[rockman22]

LOL ME TOO!  XD

[klwewf]

You have got to be gay or a jealous fat ugly woman.

[roskildahphreak]

He is the king!

[thegov08]

elaine is so fucking hot

[syzrs]

tru dat

[quincee33]

@thegov08 i agree....always had a thing for her, very cute.

[MikeAM78]

@thegov08 Oh yeah, I love Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I had a major crush on her in the '90s. So HOT!

[NOUFGT]

@thegov08

She's still fucking hot. Aged like wine.

[calalilygirl]

@NOUFGT She was better looking in her youth IMO the first few years of this show. Still attractive.

[thegov08]

@LeeHitlerSaddamLaden cock?

[Takinub]

@thegov08 I want to facefuck her!

[XiaoPow]

@Takinub

Why the fuck would you want to do that? ; )

[Takinub]

@XiaoPow Because her face looks better than her ass frankly.

[baddog7676]

LOL! I do that all the time.

[elvee79]

I work with a guy who does this to look important. I sometimes wonder if he's going to give himself a heart attack or an ulcer from all of the fake pressure.

[slowdude]

Works for me

[Zamolxx]

Fucking genius Jason Alexander! only he can make it belivable!

[miamimagicians]

@Zamolxx Did you ever realize Jason Alexander was the main star of the entire show?

[Zamolxx]

Yep, the character itself was the baby of Larry David, he was the guy that everybody could relate to. ;)

[Isiah61]

@Zamolxx

Genius Larry David.

[Zamolxx]

Larry is the genius creator and Jason the genius actor.

[Isiah61]

@Zamolxx

He's acting like Larry David.

[calalilygirl]

@Zamolxx Jason made that show.

[iTsStEpHyyyy]

@Zamolxx i second that!

[SteChappelle]

... briiliant! Method officially incorporated!
