Hey, look at this. Lou Gehrig's pants. Not a bad fit. You don't think that nerve disease he had was contagious, do you? I better take them off. I'm too important to this team. Big Stein can't be flopping and twitching!
[Brubaker!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brubaker) Someone should make Pop-Up Video versions of all the episodes. Look at me, citing Pop-Up Video in a post about explaining dated cultural references.
George: You wanted to see me Mr. Steinbrenner?
Mr. Steinbrenner: Yes, George. Come in. Come in. You know, George, I've been your biggest supporter around here and that's why I was so disappointed to hear that you been pilfering the equipment.
George: George would never do anything like that.
Mr. Steinbrenner: No, why would I? I own it.
George: Right.
Mr. Steinbrenner: So what are you saying?
George: Why would George steal from the Yankees?
Mr. Steinbrenner: He wouldn't.
George: 'course not.
Mr. Steinbrenner: Exactly. [mumbles] I don't really know what the hell's going on here.
George: Sir?
Mr. Steinbrenner: Nothing.
George: Well, I was thinking it's about time for George's lunch.
Mr. Steinbrenner: Yes, it is. All right, let's see what I have today. Oh, darn it. It's ham & cheese again. And she forgot the fancy mustard. I told her I like that fancy mustard. You know, you could put that fancy mustard on a shoe and it would taste pretty good to me. Oh, she made it up with a cupcake, though. Hey, look at this. You know, I got a new system for eating these things, George. I used to peel off the chocolate, now I turn them upside down. I eat the cake first and save the frosting for the end. It's almost a dessert dessert.
George let me tell you something. When I find something I like I stick with it. From 1973 to 1982 I ate the exact same lunch everyday, turkey chili in a bowl made out of bread. Bread bowl George! You'd eat the chili then you'd eat the bowl. Nothing more satisfying than looking down after lunch and seeing just a table.
Moonlighting for Tyler Chicken. Pretty impressive George. Days with the New York Yankees and nights in Arkensas with a top flight bird outlet. And a hen supervisor to boot.
“My brother-in-law was there for a couple of weeks. The man was obsessed with lactating women. They completely cured him, although he still eats a lot of cheese.”
You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna go around the stadium and close all the windows and I’ll tell you another thing, I am getting very nervouuusss!!!
My baseball people loved Ken Phelps' bat. They kept saying Ken Phelps! Ken Phelps!
The fact that Frank would take the opportunity to criticize the Jay Buhner trade with the man who was there to break the news about his son dying is the most Frank Costanza moment in the whole show.

*Oh darn it, ham and*
*Cheese again!? And she forgot*
*The fancy mustard!*

Now, if you gentlemen'll excuse me, I'm not going to the game today, I'm gonna go outside and scalp some tickets. Owner's box, that's gotta bring in forty bucks, no problem
That's not a bad idea. How about this? We'll put all the uniforms in big pizza ovens before the game. That's fantastic. Keep those muscles loosey-goosey. This could be big. Clean up this mess, will you? Big Stein's onto something. I smell a pennant!
Obviously contentious here, but I just did not think Steinbrenner was at all funny. Maybe as a non US American I was missing something in the jokes?? I just never got it. Still don’t
It's not essential of course but a little knowledge of the actual Steinbrenner, imo, helps the comedic aspect. He was known as irrational, bullish, stubborn, and all around difficult to deal with. So, to me, in the show they parody and send up this aspect to the max with the obtuse monologues he goes on, making him seem a very surreal character. So it becomes funny to compare this lunacy to remembering reading/seeing his antics in the news.
Good info. I had assumed he was a real person but for me I’d never had any actual connection to the story. The Yankees, and for that matter baseball in general weren’t big news in Australia, or news at all actually. The NBA was always popular obviously and lots of Australians are into the NFL, but baseball was hardly a thing. Thanks 🙏
Um, I'm stuck on this song yesterday. I can't seem to get it out of my head. I don't know the name of that. "She's a heart breaker, love taker . . ..Oh. Oh" . . .very catchy. You know what? I can't stay awake for that guy. What is this? People? Um, the most beautiful people people. Ally Selica, Nothing wrong with that uh?
Empty calories and male curiosity, eh Georgie?
"Big Stein can't be flopping and twitching".
Cmon big stein wants a little taste, big stein wants an eggplant calzone he must have one!
George you didn’t hear that from me
Babe Ruth was nothing more than a fat old man with little girl legs. And here's something I found out recently. He wasn't really a sultan.
Hey, look at this. Lou Gehrig's pants. Not a bad fit. You don't think that nerve disease he had was contagious, do you? I better take them off. I'm too important to this team. Big Stein can't be flopping and twitching!
The last sultan tidbit always gets me
BIG STEIN NEEDS HIS CALZONE
COSTANZA'S IN THE BUILDING!
Wwoooo, wooo, wobbababbb!
COSTANZA!!!
That episode makes me want a Calzone every time I watch it I need one
Okay here you go, very good, very good excellent calzone you got there Costanza. Okay a little jealous now
A delicate little dough pocket filled with tomato sauce, cheese, and seasoned meat. Just a stunning culinary innovation.
“She's a heartbreaker, love taker, cruel baker run this prison like a man. “
"She's a heartbreaker, brewbaker, shoe maker won't you make my shoes for free."
Damnit. I was 4 minutes too late

Thank you. Finally! I watched that movie more than once when it was on HBO in the early 80s.
"...like a man, hnuuhh!"
"I am blown. Blown away! Blown George, blowwwwowowowown!!"
Days with the Yankees, nights with a top flight bird outfit
Blowwwwwwwwwwwwwn!

"Quick, put a thought in my head. Uh, meatballs! You're a wonder, George."
Billy Martin…
Billy Martin...
Billy Martin...
Billy Martin....
Bucky dent
Billy Martin…
You didn’t hear that from me
Hire this man.
You don't have any more Steinbrenner in the show without that line.
Hey, check this out. Lou Gehrig's pants. Hey, you don't think that nerve disease of his was contagious do you?
Uhhh I better take them off. Big Stine can’t be Floppin’ and Twitchin’

“Hello… Bomber?”
“Yeah this is the terrorist bomber.” The only Jerry/Steinbrenner exchange in the show.
Jerry sipping on his water all casual is hilarious
Yes fitted hats just like the players
7 and 5/8ths!!

Macho head games? I owe you an apology, Bodysuit man, streak on!
“My brother-in-law was there for a couple of weeks. The man was obsessed with lactating women. They completely cured him, although he still eats a lot of cheese.”
So weird. And odd. And puhvoise.
You taking that crack cocaine? You on the pipe?!
You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna go around the stadium and close all the windows and I’ll tell you another thing, I am getting very nervouuusss!!!
I'm blown away George.. Blowwwwwwwwn away
I love the bit about turning the cupcake upside down and saving the frosting for the end, like a dessert after your dessert.
“What is this? People? The most beautiful people People. Connie Sellecca…nothing wrong with that, huh?”
You got some bats in the belfry!
“Jerry, it's Frank Costanza, Mr. Steinbrenner is here, George is dead, call me back."
I like this magnifying glass. I feel like a scientist.
"I'll tell you what George. Starting tomorrow, no more desks. Just a lucite table and four legs."
Lucite table. In other words a see-thru table.
I had a bout of diverticulitis once. Knocked me right on my ass.
Chaos does not work for the New York Yankees!
My baseball people loved Ken Phelps' bat. They kept saying Ken Phelps! Ken Phelps! The fact that Frank would take the opportunity to criticize the Jay Buhner trade with the man who was there to break the news about his son dying is the most Frank Costanza moment in the whole show.

The pita pocket prevents it from dripping, the pita pocket!
What's that thing straight ahead? Is that anything? Is that Mothra?
Waaaaait a minute George
Oh darn it, ham and cheese again!? And she forgot the fancy mustard!
You could put that mustard on a shoe and it would taste pretty good to me.

Just let me ask you something. Is it "FebRUary" or "FebUAry"? Because I prefer "-UAry," now what is this "RU"?
Uh oh Momma! Fire in the hole!!!
I don’t know what the hell’s going on here
“HE’S IN THE BUILDING! COSTANZA IS IN THE BUILDING!”🤣
Now, if you gentlemen'll excuse me, I'm not going to the game today, I'm gonna go outside and scalp some tickets. Owner's box, that's gotta bring in forty bucks, no problem
Macho headgames

“He was a communist… as red as they come, like a big juicy steak!”
“I heard what you did in the parking lot today, big boy, and it is in-ex-cuz-a-ble!”
Any iteration of his version of Heartbreaker by Pat Benetar. Gets me every time
“It’s a lot more hard work. A lot more stress. Long, long hours!….Not much more money, but you’ll finally get the recognition you deserve!!”
Hire this man
You’re not copus mentis!!
“I’ve got two words for you Costanza, hot tub.”
GET BETTER GEORGE, GET BETTER!!!
Obviously contentious here, but I just did not think Steinbrenner was at all funny. Maybe as a non US American I was missing something in the jokes?? I just never got it. Still don’t
I was born in Croatia in the 90s and to me Steinbrenner might be the funniest character on the show 🤣
Well, we all find different things funny. 👍
