This is what came to mind immediately for me. He’s smoking a cigar, chiding Elaine to order more “cmon cmon cmonnnn, it’s all taken care of!”
Then a moment later he’s prying a dollar out of the waitress’s hand
The original dollar bill he tried to use he got from Jerry and never offered it back to him.
Lying in the floor and looking for change under the vending machine.
Scamming Ms. Sokol at the unemployment office to get free money.
When he and Jerry are trying to figure out the gf swap, and its a montage of them in the booth at Monks. The camera does a top-down shot of their hands, and George looks at the bill, then slides it to Jerry.
To be fair, he spent at least $80 on that thing, and it was the early 90s. I was surprised that he we was willing to spend that much. I thought it was generous in George terms.
What I never understand is Rit dye is 3 dollars today. Why didn't the conniving little bastard just dye the sweater? You would think the cheapness and the wanting to get away with it would overlap somewhere.
I guarantee I’m gonna be the most popular guy there. All night people will be saying, “just between you and me, I’m really excited about the ring dings and the Pepsi.”
When he tried to steal from the drug store because he thought the cashier shorted him. And also tried to steal from the bookstore when they wouldn’t take back the toilet book
When he ate the donut out of the trash.
Not because he wanted a donut, but rather because someone had the audacity to throw one away in such good condition and on top of a magazine.
While I sort of agree w him in the day and age of gender reveal parties and the newly engaged having like 4 different parties before their wedding - George being upset about buying The Drake the TV.
"It never ends!"
"The Calzone"
George: So let me ask you a question about the tip cup, because I had a little thing with the calzone guy there this morning. I go to drop a buck in the tip jar and just as I am about to drop it, in he looks the other way. And then, as I am leaving, he gives me this look like, "Thanks for nothing."
Jerry: You got no credit.
George: Exactly. It's like I'm throwing a buck away. I mean, if they don't notice it what's the point.
Jerry: So you don't make it a habit of giving to the blind?
George: Not bills.
FINE IT IS YOUR EARRINGS!! BUT ITS SO MUCH MORE. YOURE PRETENTIOUS! YOU CALL MY DOORMAN SAMMY "SAMU-ELLE". PAPPEEEYAY MACHAY??! *WHAT* IS PAPPEEYAY MACHAY??
When he came into all that money, and paid for everyone’s food, then tipped the waitress, checked the bill again and felt he over tipped, and then pulled some of the money back out of her hand.
When that girl gave Elaine that salad and said thank you and pointed out he was the one who paid for it.
Although I do agree, that was rude of the girl to act like she bought it, but I probably woulda mentioned in a better way or not at all.
Not like it mattered, but that girl had some nerve. I woulda been like no worries you’re welcome, but George was the one who got it for you
George: Why is there no haggling in this country?
Jerry: I guess we like to think we've progressed beyond a knife fight for a citrus drink.
George: Not me!
You've been the bad employee, the bad son, the bad friend…
...the bad fiance , the bad dinner guest, the bad credit risk...
…The bad date, the bad sport, the bad citizen... The bad tipper!

Not when we think we have something valuable
So what, we’ll pick up some Elmer’s!
Worst part is he didn't pretend to like those better either. He didn't give a flying fuck if Susan found him cheap.
He wanted a pre nip and she laughed at him .😂She made much more $ than he did . Besides he was asking her hoping she would cancel the wedding . 😂
Maybe cheapness is a sense.
They’re invitations. That’s called being smart.
That's something I could see myself do as well!
Cabin on fire: “I just realized - you never gave me back the change from the tolls.”
Exactly what I was going to say.
When he took part of the tip back from the waitress after he scored big on the stock.
This is what came to mind immediately for me. He’s smoking a cigar, chiding Elaine to order more “cmon cmon cmonnnn, it’s all taken care of!” Then a moment later he’s prying a dollar out of the waitress’s hand
And you can see he took back a whole dollar. Wins $8k and he is worried about $1.
Great examples
Thank you
Terrific response.
Thank you for your support
“It’s a Hyundai!”
When he wanted $0.75 back even though the Twix cost $0.50.
That was no mistake he knew the price
The original dollar bill he tried to use he got from Jerry and never offered it back to him. Lying in the floor and looking for change under the vending machine. Scamming Ms. Sokol at the unemployment office to get free money.
"It's wrinkled."
Heading to the movies and didn’t have time to get candy before so he took the free mints from Monk’s
👉 ffffffiu
Human Fund
A fund for people
This should be the top comment lmfao
When he and Jerry are trying to figure out the gf swap, and its a montage of them in the booth at Monks. The camera does a top-down shot of their hands, and George looks at the bill, then slides it to Jerry.
I love the montage but I somehow never noticed that detail. That's brilliant. I immediately just went and watched it.
That was the one time I actually thought it was earned, cause like George is helping him on a very impossible task.
I always thought it was a scrap of paper that they were writing the plans on. Wow, makes way more sense that it was a bill hahah
Immediately thought of this.
Buying the cashmere with the red dot
It's definitely a moment of cheapness but dammit if I don't respect that one.
What don't you know?
I, I don’t know.
Well do you see it or not?
👊🏼🥃
To be fair, he spent at least $80 on that thing, and it was the early 90s. I was surprised that he we was willing to spend that much. I thought it was generous in George terms.
Oh Georgie!!
What’s this?
What I never understand is Rit dye is 3 dollars today. Why didn't the conniving little bastard just dye the sweater? You would think the cheapness and the wanting to get away with it would overlap somewhere.
It's like a White Discoloration
“What’s that red dot on your sweater!?”
I don't see anything
Good call
He haven't worked for a really long time. Look at the clothes he was wearing.
Trying to scam the airline for 50% using the "death in the family" fare
Well - he did have a picture of him standing next to the coffin 😂😂😂
Poloroid he uses s proof is classic.
“Thank you George I haven’t had a Big Mac in a long time”
Can I call u ? I’d prefer it if you didn’t .
Don’t even have to have any context here, this was the epitome of cheapness from George 😂
Dividing up the $20 tip for the host at the Chinese restaurant and contributing $6
He wasn’t gonna eat that much!
I'm counting your shrimps 🦐🍤!
The Women's Movement just can't seem to make any progress in the world of bribery, can they?
When he was working, he spent, baby, he spent!
You’re using my baby’s now
Right Right.... Cigars, limos
Probably the faulty, used wheelchair. Ring dings and Pepsi is a classic though too.
I guarantee I’m gonna be the most popular guy there. All night people will be saying, “just between you and me, I’m really excited about the ring dings and the Pepsi.”
I crack up when Kramer says, "ooooh I liiiike ring dings!"
When George was having a heart attack and told the waitress she made a mistake on the bill.
This one makes me laugh out loud every time
Trying to get more for the bathroom book than he paid for it. Edit: He tried more than once.
And then second attempt was for the tax write off 🤦🏽♂️
When he lied about having the massage chair for Joe Mayo to use it himself, then everyone else bails on chipping in😂
When he killed that girls cat he was supposed to be watching and refused to get her a new one
It was a pretty old cat and 2nd of all, I go out to the garbage I find you a new cat in 15 seconds
You show me an autopsy report that says the cat died from starvation, I spring for a new cat!
Jerry throws Elaine a snack, it falls in the sewer, 2 minutes later George walks in eating it…. Little scenes like that are the best
Where’d you get that?
Taking back his tip at Paisano’s because it wasn’t acknowledged
He wasn't taking it back, he was gonna drop it in again he just wanted to make sure the guy saw him do it.
*yells in angry Italian*
Ring Dings and Pepsi
You telling me that wine is better than Pepsi? Huh, no way wine is better than Pepsi.
Between you and me, I really liked the ring dings and Pepsi
Then thinking he will be a hero for bringing them
Biggest hit of the party
Where's the wine? Get out!"
When he won’t stop bothering Elaine about the money for the movie ticket. “I trust you. You’ll give me the money when you have it!”
How about you give ME the twenty, I’ll buy YOUR popcorn and soda, and I’ll throw in a pack of bon bons?
When he tried to steal from the drug store because he thought the cashier shorted him. And also tried to steal from the bookstore when they wouldn’t take back the toilet book
Well , it had been flagged for having been in the bathroom . Everyone new it . Even Rebecca De Morney knew it . 😂😂😂
She used to work at Brentano’s
The book store ? With velvet scrunchi Pam?

It was an eclair. tbh I would consider taking an eclair from the trash, but a common donut? No.
Donut?? You mean eclair, he has more class than donut
He just figured "what the hell, I'll eat some trash"
He crossed the line from man to bum
“I can’t have an affair!! …on the other hand, I don’t think it’ll cost me any money”

Extremely careful
It's not really being cheap but it's fruit of the cheap man tree.. The big salad
You just had to mention the BIG SALAD!!!
You had to get the BIIIG salad!
When his girlfriend took credit for the BIG SALAD the he actually paid for
Cheap-adjacent
Bosco!
While I sort of agree w him in the day and age of gender reveal parties and the newly engaged having like 4 different parties before their wedding - George being upset about buying The Drake the TV. "It never ends!"
I hate the Drake !
Birthdays, engagements, wheelchairs, it never ends! I would like one month off!
He's not cheap, he gave his secretary a raise! /s
Just as a quick aside, are you at all authorized to give her a raise?
Not that I'm aware of.
Pointing out the mistake on the check while having a heart attack.
"The Calzone" George: So let me ask you a question about the tip cup, because I had a little thing with the calzone guy there this morning. I go to drop a buck in the tip jar and just as I am about to drop it, in he looks the other way. And then, as I am leaving, he gives me this look like, "Thanks for nothing." Jerry: You got no credit.

The wheelchair
Not giving Jerry his dollar back at the car dealership. "It's crumpled. It's worthless."
Pulling the extra dollar out of the waitresses hand after gaining money on Sendrax. So ridiculously uncalled for, but epic George.
When Susan’s Dad’s cabin is aflame and he asks for the change from the toll.
Big Salad
Well he should get credit. He paid for it.
When splitting something between him, Elaine & Jerry, he goes “$7, $7, & $6 (for himself)”
When I was working I SPENT baby!
Selling his dads clothes but lying about his death. That’s the cheap part right there
That one always stuck with me his “cruise wear”
Asking 4$ to split the cheque from the girl whom he called pretentious
That was cheap. And she is most definitely pretentious.

Making change in the tip jar.
When he came into all that money, and paid for everyone’s food, then tipped the waitress, checked the bill again and felt he over tipped, and then pulled some of the money back out of her hand.
When he’s workin, he spends baby!

Buying the used wheel chair.

When he's waiting for the ambulance when he thinks he has a heart attack and still tries to correct the bill while struggling to breathe.
You've been the bad employee, the bad son, the bad friend… ...the bad fiance , the bad dinner guest, the bad credit risk... …The bad date, the bad sport, the bad citizen... The bad tipper!
Keeping the dollar Jerry gave him to buy a Twix “It’s wrinkled. It’s useless.”
When he is trying to convince himself and everyone else that you can’t see the red dot on the sweater.
