Mods - can I get an assist to correct the title spelling? Thanks.
Gotta love auto correct.
RIP Mr Stiller
Let's not lose sight of the real unresolved issue here:
Is it a Bro or a Manzier?
I'm fairly certain it's a Titsling.
Back in 8th grade, a classmate of mine called it the, "over-the-shoulder boulder holder."
I remember. And a jock strap was an "under butt nut hut."
I first heard that line on Who's The Boss?
I heard it on Punky Brewster. No joke.
They should put this episode into the rerun mix this week, a classic. The best is watching the outtakes from the "you wanna piece of me" scene. Julia-Louis Dreyfus can't do it because she's laughing so hard.
we'll always have, "Del Boca Vista"
It's manzier! Also it's moops...
Seinfeld and King of Queens. My favorites. R.I.P.
He was good on Seinfeld, but GREAT on King of Queens. Arthur Spooner is iconic character on one of the most underrated shows of all time.
It’s on tv all the time on a couple stations. In fact the lifetime channel is playing it all day.
Obviously all opinion, but I would flip your placement of good and great.
He's funny on King of Queens, but he's an absolute star on Seinfeld. There's not a single time he's on camera that I'm not cracking up.

Frank Costanza was the BEST. A favorite bit was Frank and his attorney. Larry David in a cape.
LEMON ICES!!!!
Serenity now, my friend.
Serenity now.
Can we get one last Camp Hope, "Hi, Hi, Hiya!!"?
Now, its time to meet your new owner and operator.
A word of advice: Never let anyone sign your checks!!
Entrepreneur, a motivator, and a new friend! May I introduce...
His line delivery was classic.
You want a Divorce? YOU GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!
For as long as Festivus endures, Jerry Stiller will live on....
Stop crying and fight your father!
But will Jerry still be dead at 93?
The comedy act of "Stiller and Meara" is still one of the funniest I have ever heard. When I was growing up, WJR would broadcast their recorded bits and they would leave me on the floor laughing. Their sense of comedic timing was impeccable.
Wow. He looks a lot like Ben in the old picture.
Jerry, it's Frank Constanza. Mr. Steinbrenner's here. George is dead, call me back.
I think you are hard-pressed to find a single better line in sitcom comedy history.
“What the hell you trade Jay Buhner for ...You’re ruining the Yankees!”
frank costanza one of the all time greats.
"you dont need glasses, youre just weak!"
My personal favorite:
Braun, I’ve got good news and bad news. And they’re both the same. You’re fired.
Stop short and grab is my move...
This one was my favorite..."You want a piece of me!"
I loved this man
ARE YOU TRYING TO KEEP US OUT OF DEL BOCA VISTA?!
Would you believe when I was 18, I had a sssssilver dollar collection?
I didn't even know he was sick.
He wasn't. He was 92.
Natural causes.
He stopped short, that’s my move!
Noooo...I was praying it was really Jerry StilleD.
Jerry Stiller was to me....Man, I can't even attempt to put it into words the amount of delight and adoration I had for his characters' appearances on the screen.
His comedic voice inflection and line delivery skills were top notch. Absolute Genius!
Thanks for the memories, Arthur Spooner, Frank Constanza, and various other iconic father-role characters like Doc from The Heartbreak Kid.
"It's well-known that Richard Nixon is the Rolls Royce of president-shaped potato chips!"
Truly a sad day. First, thoughts and prayers go to his family. Jerry Stiller had an immeasurable influence on a generation in his role as Frank Costanza. I'll never forget his rivalry with the Seinfelds but "stopping short" will forever be my favorite move. What would Festivus be without Frank? I'll be watching some Seinfeld this week.
“I have a fffffoot odor problem!”
l Loved it when he thought he saw a mouse. THATS IT WERE MOVING. Always wondered why they didnt spin him and the wife off, she was great also. One of the best, sorry for his friends and family.
I am glad they did not do that. He's not a major character for a reason; he is perfect with the amount of time he had. You can't overdo him.
