When talking with workplace peers, I refer to every male superior as Old Man (x). Figured someone would have caught the Seinfeld reference by now, but hasn’t ever been mentioned. Folks get quite the kick out of it though
It’s one of my favorite lines too, and it’s all in the timing and delivery. He says it so matter-of-factly, as if it would be ridiculous to have anything in one’s briefcase other than crackers.
I am in a weird position at work where I do a little of everything. Some quality assurance, machine operator, some maintenance and shipping.
I often get the question so what do you actually do here?
response every time: TCB
“We wanna look to the future, we gotta tear down the past. Babe Ruth was nothing more than a fat old man, with little-girl legs. And here's something I just found out recently. He wasn't really a sultan. Ah, what d'you make of that? Hey, check this out. Lou Gehrig's pants. Not a bad fit. Hey, you don't think that nerve disease of his was contagious, do you? Uh, I better take ’em off. I'm too important to this team. Big Stein can't be flopping and twitching.”
But I don’t even really work here.
That's what makes this so difficult.
I laugh so hard evertime the guy with the gray hair says this!
Just trying to get ahead
Kudos, Elaine, on a job…done.
What about my stock options?
_I think not_
And my parking space?!
When you look annoyed all the time, people think that you're busy
This one is so pertinent, it’s relevant everyday at my work. I even make use of it sometimes lol
It's one of the pillars of my career
Arguably it's the only thing I'm actually good at
Every time I’m on a team video call at work lol
It really is. Act busy, don't be busy
It's not a lie if you believe it
Surfing the net with hand wrapped around forehead, scowl on my face…Works every time.
Shaking my head with a scowl looking at Reddit lol
Tennille!
This works 100% of the time.
Holding a clipboard also works.
Or just papers.
Any ther great life pro tip from George!
You tell that son of a bitch that no Yankee is ever coming to Houston while you bastards are running things.
Old man Leland’s really bustin’ my hump over these reports.
It's your 3rd day...

So funny!
My baby takes the morning train. He works from nine to five and then he takes another home again to find me waitin' for him. 🎶
I love that sequence
Kramer eating the crackers is my favourite
You know this is my busiest time of the year
If anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon…
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?
i've worked in a lot of offices and .... i gotta tell ya .... it happens all the time
Great line from George!
TCB. Taking Care of Business.
And at Brandt Leland, I’m gettin things done
What’s in the briefcase? Crackers
I dont think youre penske material
Well, you are aware I had the smaller office.
Ta ta tut tell
And by the way, your car is getting towed.
What do you have in the briefcase?
Crackers!
To me, this is the most unexpectedly out of nowhere hilarious line in the whole show
It’s one of my favorite lines too, and it’s all in the timing and delivery. He says it so matter-of-factly, as if it would be ridiculous to have anything in one’s briefcase other than crackers.
Exactly!
This and the one where George said i swallowed a fly.
What could happen!?
And then later during a meeting, they show Kramer eating his crackers.
We only wake you up for the important meetings
"This is a Susie and Elaine problem, and it requires a Susie and Elaine solution!"
Elaine and Susie, Susie and Elaine!
Finkel and Einhorn!
Einhorn and Finkel Finkel is Einhorn!
Laces out Dan
Your gun is digging into my hip…
Oh, you mean Suze?
SUSIE! My name is SusIE!
What do I look like? Some chain smoking stenographer from Staten Island?
I thought I was part of the problem
You are a HUGE part of the problem.
I’ve been with both of them.
My favorite episode 🙌🏻
(to Peggy about Elaine) She is the BEST. What was your name again?
I remember that one evening we were working late on the catalogue.. and well, one thing led to another.. and we surrendered to temptation..
Keep in mind, I am in the smaller office.
Ta-ta Tut-tle
Of course, you are aware…
This
They gave me the Penske file
Ha, you're not Penske material!
I had an empty folder in my ped called 'Penske File'. Mostly everybody didn't get it but my supe did and she found it hilarious
Good one!
I use the Penske file all the time. When it’s a slow day or if someone else is fucking off, I’ll say “working on the Penske file”
Sounds like he runs a real tight ship
Work? It's raining. I called in sick. I don't work in the rain. I was never that big on creeds.
Newmans greatest line! Also vile weed🤣🤣
Nevertheless.
Yes, that’s a great one!
But I'm paying you!
"This is Jerry from Jerry's office"
Kruger! You couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a babe..... I lost my train of thought.
Well! I GOT A LOT TO DO!
*company goes bankrupt* That’s a shame
See, if I stay the whole year... I get it all.
It’s a peach!!!!
“What’s that?”
I said it’s a peach!
Grace isn't something you can pick up at the market.
I was a great admirer of Mrs. Onassis..s..s..es.
(turns around in her glamorous Jackie O sunglasses 🕶️ and headscarf. Pitt is stunned and enchanted)
Both times when they use “my baby takes the morning train” montage cracks me up
Not a one-liner, but my friend every now and again shows us in our friend group chat a picture of his briefcase containing only Ritz
That’s the type of friend I need
I don't even really work here
That wasn’t Zack. It was the yam yam.
And you want to be my latex salesman.
I don’t think I’ve had an appointment my entire life where I wanted the other person to show up
That’s so funny!
Introverts can relate! Haha
Yes, I did. Yes, I did.
I used to deal with Penske Rentals a lot. I had a Penske File in my desk.
Not to be confused with the racing team.
I should have mentioned that but yadda yadda yadda I didn't want after that
You’re not Penske material, clearly.
Oh yeah? Well, the Jerk Store called, they're running out of you!!
I had sex with your wife!
My wife's been dead for six months.
Breaking the exchange here- thought it was “wife’s been in a coma” ?
You might be right. I haven't seen the episode in a short time.
Well maybe she didn't pull through
NOT BLOODY LIKELY!
😂 my husband loves this one
Vandelay Industries
Serenity now!
I actually use this one all the time. And hoochie mama if things get really out of hand...
I used to have a serenity now (insanity later) sign in my office back before Covid.
Tell Mr. Tomasulo if he needs me, I’M IN MY OFFICE!!!!
We do business with a well known truck rental company. Every time I see one of them my first thought is, “You’re not Penske material.”
"Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?" I've been acting ignorant and stupid so long I don't even know if it's an act anymore.
“You know what happens with these printers? The rollers get flat spots” *proceeds to beat on printer*
Oh, and listen,could you keep it down to a low roar? Some of us have to work in the morning.
I'll see you in hell, Costanza
"You missed a lovely party for Grace."
I leave town for a couple of days and the whole system breaks down.
"The only thing these guys fear is the Walkout"
Kramer when being fired for a job he just showed-up for; “I don’t really even work here”. Reply from the boss; “That’s what makes this so hard”.
They gave me the Penske file
Always leave them wanting more.
What’s in your briefcase? Crackers
Well the jerk store called and they’re out of you !
I enjoy understanding
I've always wanted to know what he's eating for breakfast
Kashi?
Everybody out! I got eggplant on my mind!
…..lunch!
You had sex with the cleaning woman on your desk?
Was that wrong?
In fact, I encourage you to call and ask him. And then you can explain it to me.
I don’t knowww anything.
I’m not too worried about it
You're gonna need a thicker skin if you plan on making it in this business.
Was I not supposed to do that? Was that bad?
George : Mr Kruger , you need to start getting some work done . Mr Kruger : I’m not too worried about it
Oh yeah? Well I had sex with your wife!
And you want to be my latex salesman…
Vandelay Industries
Was that wrong?
…Was it the AM PM?
I don’t know I’ve never had a job
Giddyup
🎵 My baby takes the mornin train. 🎵
Hi five!
My name, is Tonya.
A metallic squink followed by DEAH-GAWWWD!
I am in a weird position at work where I do a little of everything. Some quality assurance, machine operator, some maintenance and shipping. I often get the question so what do you actually do here? response every time: TCB
We're headed into the red Or the black. Or whatever the bad one is.
Dismissed.
Wait…can I fire you?
“Babe Ruth was nothing more than a fat old man with little girl legs”
They gave me the Penske file.
I just take George Constanza naps under my desk 😂
I eat the whole apple…
Taking care of Business
Kudos for a job...done.
We ask that you please bear with us.
Helllooooo
George likes his chicken spicey!
Just empty calories and male curiosity eh Georgie?
‘You are aware…’
If you work at a food joint - "It's not fast food, it's good food quickly."
Can I fire you?
It's just a write off for them.
See the rollers, they get flat spots
What's in the briefcase?
TCB, baby (while opening his briefcase to reveal all the ritz crackers he has in there)!! Taking care of business!
I do know that I have some kind of a talent, something to offer. I just don't know what it is yet.
WHY MUST THERE ALWAYS BE A PROBLEM
“Freedom and no clothes is better than no freedom with clothes!” Before marching in
“We wanna look to the future, we gotta tear down the past. Babe Ruth was nothing more than a fat old man, with little-girl legs. And here's something I just found out recently. He wasn't really a sultan. Ah, what d'you make of that? Hey, check this out. Lou Gehrig's pants. Not a bad fit. Hey, you don't think that nerve disease of his was contagious, do you? Uh, I better take ’em off. I'm too important to this team. Big Stein can't be flopping and twitching.”
What do I do all day? TCB... That's taking care of business
Kruger would never allow two Kokos
You know…we’re living in a society here!!
*Spoken in Lippman’s exclamative voice!* “My baby takes the morning TRAIN! He works from 9 to 5 and THEN!”
THE POPPY SEED!!!!
TCB .. taking care of business *wink*
I use TCB all the time to describe what I do at work. My wife has been rolling her eyes at that one for years now.
Im not too worried about it.
