Jerry Stiller 1927 - 2020

I stitched some clips together from the 'Inside Looks' on the DVDs as well as a few bloopers to showcase some of Jerry Stiller's work on the show from replacing another actor who originally played Frank, to his acting and line technique, to on set stories and outtakes from Season 4-9. Just a little tribute I made for the legend himself.

  • George’s parents are the greatest side characters on any sitcom ever

    Jerry Stiller not only made Seinfeld hilarious, he was the reason why King of Queens was a major success as well.
  • @diegomo1413
    The fact that Frank’s mannerisms we partly due to Jerry just trying to remember the lines makes it 10x funnier 😂
  • @tenkenroo
    The costanzas were the perfect triple act. They always bounced off each other perfectly
  • @andyinoregon
    I love how every conversation between Frank and Estelle Costanza reaches maximum decibel level within five seconds.
  • @BeeHash
    Kramer and Frank’s friendship was one of my favourite elements of Seinfeld.
  • I think the best part about the "You want a piece of me?" scene is that Frank isn't even in the episode until the very end, and yet he steals the show.
  • @keithwilson6060
    “So let him have bananas on the side!” is one of my favorite lines in the entire series. Flawlessly delivered by Jerry Stiller.
  • @Xorobabel
    There was an incredible chemistry between Michael Richards and Jerry Stiller on the set.
  • "SO LET HIM HAVE BANANAS ON THE SIDE!!!" is my favorite Frank line of all time, one of my favorite lines on the whole show.
  • @Yabuddy53
    Watching George’s parents argue was one of my favorite themes of the show it was always hilarious
  • @letsgochamp6190
    This man is absolutely hilarious. RIP. His roles in Seinfeld and the King of Queens specifically were brilliant. He'll never be forgotten, Seinfeld reruns will live on forever.
  • @MrNckissfan
    “DEEE-LI-VER IT TO HER!!!’” 😂🤣🤣🤣 Not only did I bust out laughing, but I immediately concluded that recasting the role with Jerry Stiller was a brilliant move.
  • @jesset4870
    He was perfectly cast for George’s dad every single scene he was in was hilarious
  • Imagine being so good that it made the most serious actor (Michael Richards) on set break character. RIP Jerry Stiller
  • @iambiglucas
    Estelle and Jerry's chemistry is unparalleled. We'll never get anything like it again and that hurts to realize.
  • @suesjoy
    I’ve been in AA for 6 years and whenever we say the Serenity Prayer, I think: “serenity now!”
  • @MrWolfTickets
    "SO LET HIM HAVE BANANAS ON THE SIDE" there's no caps big enough to convey how he read that line. RIP, and glad we can all see this stuff and share how happy it makes us!! I'm lucky I got to watch it in first run
  • What a sweet gentle genius of a man! He tears up at 7:50 when talking about the cast members love for him. Wonderful actor and person! R.I.P Jerry Stiller, you magnificent bastard!
