The title was pretty clever. For a sec, I thought this was a self-help video about people who won't stop going insane-o style.

The double hand wave Joel does at the end really seals the deal on this one.

It's a show…about… the thing:
"So what do we have so far?"
"I say I have the problem, you say …I do the thing"
"Wait, what? That's all we got? You know I can't do that…"
"What do you mean you can't do that? You DO have the problem too right?
"Of course I have the problem…but you know…can I do the thing?"
"Yeah..well you do have a point there…I mean, I have the problem too but…when YOU have the problem, the problem becomes..can YOU do the thing?"
"Yeah yeah see THAT'S what I mean! People, they go out into the world, they have the problem….and see THEY can do the thing! But if I'M the one who has the problem, can I DO the thing? Do you think I CAN do the thing?"
"Can he do the thing? Can HE…do the thing? "
"OF COURSE I CAN'T DO THE THING! ALL I SEE ARE PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS BUT NO, IF I HAVE THE PROBLEM I CANNOT DO THE THING"
"He CANNOT…do. the. thing."
Door bursts open…."So, what seems to be the problem here boys…"
"Ah no, NOOOOOOO….isn't it clear? HE CAN'T DO THE THING…"
"I can't do the thing…"
"He CANNOT do the thing!"
Later that day
"So I saw my parents…and they know about the problem…"
"No, NO, they know about the problem? You told them about the problem? Who told you to tell them about the problem? Ah, no, this isn't good….this is not good…"
"I don't know…I had to….I had to tell them about the problem. Cause you see if I DON'T tell them about the problem, then I've got NO CHANCE to do the thing."
"But I thought we established..I'M the one who does the thing….YOU'RE the one with the problem, but I'M the one who does the thing…"
"Yeah, well…try telling THAT to my parents"
" But see now, don't you SEE..now I'm going to have to tell MY PARENTS about the problem…and then I'll have to tell them about the thing..and then my parents will tell your parents…No no, this..this isn't good…this is worlds colliding here….problems, things…"

As someone who works with an overly rabid fan of curb your enthusiasm I just want to say this video needs more views

Goerge Constanza was written by Larry David to be like him. Larry David in Curb, is supposed to be like him and Goerge, so even more like himself.

I had a buddy back in middle school, did the thing, never heard from him again. I think he did the thing too much, or not enough, either way great film. Your films are amazing Jim.
