What I’ve come to assume happened in between ‘The Opposite’ and the following episode is this: George continues to do the opposite of what he thinks he should, so long until it finally becomes his nature. The second flaw, which shows up time and time again, is that he takes everything a step too far, whether it be quitting his job then getting revenge on his boss for a perceived injustice, converting to Latvian Orthodox to date a girl, or not admitting to countless lies until the truth comes out invariably, blowing up in his face. The first, as he points out in ‘The Opposite,’ is that every instinct he has is wrong. The Reddit user explains, “George as a character has two really big flaws.

A Reddit user has posted a fan theory that George Costanza actually started doing the opposite of his natural instincts for everything following the episode “The Opposite” where he decided to do just that, but because of his tendency to take things one step too far, he still kept failing, because the step too far reverted his behavior back to classic George. This is a timeless quote, applicable to everyday situations. “My life is the complete opposite of everything I want it to be.” Here are the 10 greatest George Costanza quotes of all time.

Ricky Gervais has described him as “arguably the greatest sitcom character of all time.” George was based on his co-creator Larry David, but Jerry Seinfeld named the character after his friend Mike Costanza, who later sued the network for having his name associated with “the lord of the idiots.” But who could be upset about being associated with such a brilliant character, no matter how idiotic? George is a timeless and iconic legend whose words ring true, even after twenty years.
GEORGE COSTANZA MASTER OF MY DOMAIN TV
So many publications have listed George among the best characters in TV history and the best sidekicks in the history of fiction. Despite having few likable qualities, the – in the immortal words of Elaine Benes – “short, stocky, slow-witted, bald man” won the hearts of audiences everywhere. He’s a curmudgeon, he protests against every social convention that we wish we had the guts to protest against, he’s constantly down on his luck, nothing ever goes right for him, his friends are all more successful than he is, he’s lost his hair, and he’s never happy with anything. George Costanza is one of the funniest and most painfully relatable characters in the history of television.
