Larry at his loudest and most impassioned still just destroys me... everything on the golf course was killing me Mustard if you want a girl Motherfuckers gonna come out with a mustache and bad credit Susie and Jeff's marriage still totally incredible
That episode was ridiculous. Jeff laughing at the dicks killed me. and I have no idea why but Fish Stuck gets me every time now.
Pretty solid episode with the whole fiddler on the roof dreams/nightmare thing. three episodes left, I don't think there's any chance that Larry doesn't go to prison at the end after losing his trial in Georgia, as a homage to the end of Seinfeld ...
There are certain throwaway lines that stick with me and make me lose it. Last night was he and Leon going “same back seat” when talking about his aunt/uncle. Idk why but it just slayed me.
Seeing Essence Atkins in a curb episode blew my mind. I had a massive crush on her as a kid when she was on Smart Guy. I can't believe she's in her 50s and still fine as hell.
Massage Therapist was fantastic. I had someone like her one time many years ago who spent the entire time insulting me. When my wife came to pick me up, the therapist said she so pretty, she too good for you. I just brought it up to my wife yesterday, before the episode aired. Good episode, Curious to see how they finish it off ...
Best episode of the season. Many literal lol moments. So many little things that just killed me - will discuss them after more people have watched. One that got me good was when Larry posed a hypothetical of dating the bearded lady in the circus. The other guy asks how big a beard are we talking here? Rabbinical? Larry nods and confirms yes rabbinical. That just killed me. Small moment, big laugh along with many others ...
Larry responded pretty much the exact way i would've expected ;) And nice to see Richard Lewis in here, too
Of course, David is not alone in his ability to offend. But his propensity to do so emerges from a profound humanism—an egalitarian humanism inherent in the best Jewish comedy. For David, every person, from the pauper to the king, is fallen and thus open to mockery. This includes Holocaust survivors, hurricane and natural-catastrophe victims, the working class, and, of course, Jews. David’s work is premised on the notion that all people can be—just as he is—weak-willed, striving, awkward, prone to vanity, and frightened. Life is awful, and so, David insists, why not have a good laugh about it?
In the mid-1970s, David, who had remained in New York City during his stint in the military, started performing as a stand-up comedian. By all accounts, he wasn’t especially successful. A Daily News article that addressed this period in David’s life was titled “In Larry David’s Stand-Up Days, Few Predicted Success for the Combative Comic.” Indeed, he embraced an explicitly antagonistic relationship with his audience. In a recent episode of the podcast The History of Curb Your Enthusiasm, for instance, David’s costars and fellow comedians Jeff Garlin and Susie Essman recounted times in the 1980s when they saw him go onstage, look at the audience and say, “Not tonight” or “Eh, I don’t think so,” and simply walk off.
