Did George Steinbrenner ever laugh at himself at Larry David playing him on Seinfeld?

I was watching Seinfeld last night and it was the episode where George was sleeping under his desk and didn’t want anybody to know about it. Steinbrenner waited in his office and his grandkids and dog came in and George called Jerry from under his desk. George tells Jerry to call in a bomb threat to get them out of there. When the lady tells Steinbrenner that there is a bomb threat, he yells to get under the desk where George was hiding. I laugh at that every time and always wondered what Steinbrenner thought of Larry David playing him.

Steinbrenner thought it was funny and enjoyed it, and said his grandchildren loved it. He didn’t enjoy the voice (Larry David) that much but as a whole, he found it humorous.

At least that’s what he said in interviews and the people close to him confirmed.

Larry David just did the voice, Lee Bear was the individual.

That sounds like an anti-joke about what a fricking a-hole he is

"What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for? He had 30 home runs and over 100 RBIs last year. He's got a rocket for an arm. You don't know what the hell you're doing."

Uh huh, I understand what you're saying George and I know what it's like to be financially strapped. When I was a young man in Cleveland, I used to hitchhike to work. One time, I got picked up by a bakery truck. You think that stuff smells good? Try being cooped up in the back of one of those babies.I couldn't look at a donut for the next two years. Well, not that I was ever one for the sweets. Sure, I like a cup cake every now and then, like everybody else. You know, I like it when they have a little cream on the inside, it's a surprise. That's good. Plus, the chocolate ones are good too. Sometimes, I just can't even make up my mind. A lot of times, I'll mix the two together, make a vanilla fudge.
