George Costanza Gets Grossed Out (Seinfeld)

George Costanza (Jason Alexander) opens his mouth in shock and then covers it after a woman he was dating put his peach pit in her mouth during an episode of Seinfeld.

While sitting down at a diner, he recoils with a disgusted look, mouth open and then covers his mouth with a napkin. His exaggerated expression makes this GIF perfect for reacting to something unpleasant, awkward, or uncomfortable. It’s often used to show secondhand embarrassment or visceral rejection.

The combination of George’s physical comedy and Seinfeld’s lasting popularity makes this a widely shared reaction GIF.
