George is probly just the pure evil part of Larry, Jerry could therefore represent everything else.
I just fucking love George to bits. Jason Alexander has done a wonderful job of making such a spiteful hated little man into someone you can't take your eyes off watching.
Here's my list of favourite George moments:
Leaving his car parked in the Yankee stadium, to give the illusion to his superiors that he's working all hours.
His 'vertical leap' boast
his 'reverse parking' boast
his 'great parking space' boast, in the hospital visiting the new born babies parents "are you sure the baby wouldn't like to see the parking spot?"
pretending to be handicapped
Slipping the mickey into his bosses drink
cheating on his iq test by slipping his paper out the window to elaine
cheating on his latvian orthodox test, writing notes on his arm
again by writing crib notes on his arm, learning the 'move'
his answering machine, the whole episode George is avoiding his girlfriend because he thinks she wants to split up with him, he wants to take her to a works ball. his theory, if she can't find him, she can't break up with him.
eating the half eaten chocolate eclair out the bin.
taking his shirt off when he goes to the bathroom
When George and Susan are shopping for wedding invitations, the shop assistant brings out a huge catalogue and states "the more expensive ones are at the front". George grabs the catalogue and immediately flings it open from the back.
That whole Susan dieing episode, at the end. crazy
leaving a tape recording the Foundation meeting, due to paranoia that they're accusing him of killing Susan
The worlds collide episode, George losing it about Elaine wanting to be friends with Susan. Elaine rings up and George is reluctant to hand the phone over to Susan.
George persistantly trying to prevent the couple from stealing his idea about calling a child 'Seven', even to the point of badgering the mother when she's in labour. "I'm a friend of the mother, I'm having sex with her cousin"
Buying Elaine the damaged jumper, with the red dot on, because it was cheap
Walking out on a high note. George realises that once he's made a huge funny in his office meetings he just ends up saying something dumb soon after. So he develops a habit of just getting up and leaving after delivering a good joke. Particular funny when he performs this routine in Jerry's apartment.
pretending to look angry to create the illusion he's busy at work
reluctantly giving his debit card code out to save a mans life.
Georges 'man love' for Jerry.
Georges 'man crush' for Elaines 'cool' rush-junkie boyfriend.
wanting to appear to be the funniest member of the group for his new girlfriend, making jerry act depressed.
when he taunts the shackled prisoner guy in the magazine shop, "maybe I'll read it in the park tomorrow, it's supposed to be a beautiful day!"
His 'fire escape' involving knocking down old ladies and children to get out first. and then his amazing reasoning to everyone afterwards. Jerry's reaction in the coffee shop later "perhaps she'll see things differently once she's released from the burns unit".
The whole marriage thing, regretting it immediately and spending episode after episode trying to postpone it. "When are you getting married?", Susan: "June", George: "Late June"
When Jerry asks him to pretend he doesn't know him in The Race episode, they chat like they've just met after five years and George goes into lie overload. Ends up almost walking away without getting to the point of why they're lieing in the first place.
In the car dealer shop, George refuses to trust any of the salesmen and OMG it's just so fucking funny.
Jerry: "It's a perfect plan. So inspired. So devious. Yet so simple."
George: "This is what I do"

Yeah, that last one is pure George gold, how they plan to do "the switch", right? That whole planning scene is brilliant.
Other George highlights:
"The sea was angry that day my friends... like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli" from The Marine Biologist.
"A simple joke, from a simple man," he tells Jerry in The Abstinence, in which he's turning into a genius because he's 'not getting any', and ponders the idea that maybe he should just never have sex again, 'maybe I can serve the world better this way'.
But the most brilliant, mindblowing George episode for me is The Opposite, when he finds his 'religion' in ignoring everything his instinct ever told him, and to do the opposite. "Hi... my name is George, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents."
Oh and Dr. Carl Sagan completely OTM, it keeps me going as well, I cannot get enough.
