I was born in 1996, 2 years before Seinfeld’s final episode. The show about nothing, which has lived well beyond its time, introduced us to some of the most ridiculous and greatest characters in television history. Being incredibly relatable, it’s hard for any Seinfeld fan to make it through a day without experiencing a similar scene or two from the show, most likely involving George Costanza. Why George? He’s the most sympathetic character on the show, and…well, I’ll let the 30 GIFs below explain how he’s secretly your spirit animal:
1 You make the best out of every boring situation
2. You look out for yourself, because at the end of the day the universe revolves around you, and only you
3. The gym isn’t the place for you….bad things happen there
4. You say what is on your mind and feel no shame about it
5. Again, no shame
6. When shit hits the fan, you knows how to react
7. Honesty is a virtue, even when it hurts
8. You don’t care if anybody doesn’t like your style choices, you’re living your life on your own terms
9. Sometimes you do let social standards get to you
10. But fuck social standards…
11. Competition is always fierce, whether it’s an intramural basketball game or a high speed shopping cart race
12. Or on the diamond…you don’t let anybody get in your way
13. ICE CREAMMMM
14. You also understand that sometimes a great Friday night consists of your butt on the couch watching TV with chips all over your shirt
15. You are always down for a good time
16. Life’s passions are simple for you
17. But sometimes there are things that get in the way of those passions like ketchup in glass bottles. YOU HATE KETCHUP IN GLASS BOTTLES….IT…NEVER…COMES…OUT….EVER
18. Then on the rare occasion the two passions intersect
19. Work? Forget about it
20. You embrace your inner sexiness, even if others disapprove
21. And that inner sexiness has allowed you to swing with the best of them
22. Good guys finish last and you know better than anybody else, because you are the good guy
23. Although you are trying this whole bad boy thing, and it’s working out pretty well…
24. Your parents are crazy
25. And a part of you blames them for the countless idiotic moves you’ve made throughout your life
26. You aren’t afraid to throw out an insult or two
27. You love your friends
28. Even though they may not love you
29. Sometimes life takes its toll
30. But that doesn’t mean you aren’t enjoying it
