How George Costanza Tried to Manipulate Everyone in Seinfeld

This video essay analyzes the manipulative strategies of George Costanza from Seinfeld (produced by NBC and created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld). George Costanza is a lazy, lying, manipulative narcissist... but luckily he is too stupid to pull over any of his manipulative psychological tactics. Let's examine how he at least tried to manipulate everyone in Seinfeld, whether it's at work or while dating, by lying, gaslighting, persuading or puppet mastering.
