George Shares His Secret to Looking Busy at Work on Seinfeld

FanReviews

A perfectly cynical workplace truth comes out at the diner on Seinfeld when George explains how he always looks productive on the job — without actually doing anything. Sitting with Jerry and Elaine, George confidently reveals his foolproof method: just look annoyed. Jason Alexander delivers the line with peak George energy, while Jerry Seinfeld and Julia Louis-Dreyfus take it all in. It’s classic Seinfeld logic that feels just as painfully true today.  #Seinfeld #GeorgeCostanza #ClassicTV #90sSitcom
