(the wife deserves like a Thalberg or something)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 18 January 2004 06:17 (twenty-two years ago)

we need a thread about people who pop into our minds when we are doing that one thing.

Other wives popping in = classic

A brilliant stroke is having Ben Stiller play himself as a sort of flip side to Larry David - both characters are jerks, but Ben knows what the rules are (the "no gifts" thing, being polite about the bedazzled sports sweatshirts, etc.). The second episode of this season had me cringing the entire time...how does Larry have *any* friends?

Favorite moments:
Larry commenting inappropriately on Mary in the Nativity scene.
Cheri Oteri singing the Looney Tunes song and mentioning that her suitcase doesn't have wheels.
The restaurant swear-fest. (this was a lot funnier than it probably should have been)
Larry's confused look, watching club soda and salt being applied to his wife's blouse.

Very good show.

― Star Hustler, Monday, 19 January 2004 05:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Great article, maura.

i too enjoyed the article

The first season just came out on DVD - we watched them all yesterday and the day before. I was falling over laughing - now of course I wish the rest of it was on DVD, but no, I guess we have to wait a year for the 2nd season... We don't have the premium cable channels, so we do this with Sopranos and Six Feet Under as well - a feast for a few days, and then a whole year to wait for more (and avoid spoilers if we can).

wow! i didn't know larry david really had a movie called "prognosis negative" or worked as a bra salesman - two choice seinfeld show moments.

Taking a woman in a burqa to Canter's was unbelievable.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 5 February 2004 04:22 (twenty-two years ago)

So CLASSIC.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 5 February 2004 04:22 (twenty-two years ago)

"the dog bit my PENIS!!!!!"

The Doll is awesome.

― Nick H (Nick H), Thursday, 5 February 2004 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Of course it's brilliant. Comedy is redeemed as a high art.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and the scene this week where they pretend to be WASP-like to get into the country club - with just a few key gestures. I was laughing my ass off.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Thursday, 5 February 2004 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Man oh man. I just rented the first season on DVD (well, only half, actually, cuz the video store only rents it one disc at a time) -- hifuckinlarious.

The whole "bi-racial" doll thing was fantastic.

This show is way better than Seinfeld.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 19:01 (twenty-two years ago)

First series DVD is now on my list of "Official Reccomendations for Everyone on Earth"

I have all three series on DVD and I think series 3 is the best, although I'm only halfway through watching it. "Club Soda & Salt" is fantastic.

― Nick H (Nick H), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I've never identified with any film/tv/literary character more than I do with Larry David. My whole life is now totally WWLDD?

"he's a survivor"

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I pulled an LD last night at a bar, and was so proud of myself. This smelly guy at the bar tried to shake my hand, and I shook his arm instead.

― Chuck Tatum (Chuck Tatum), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

god that last episode was so fucking good

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

the survivor episode? the reflection from the glass eye had me rollin.

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

gina gershon as a sexy hasid... uh, rowr.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:35 (twenty-two years ago)

"uh the first one"

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:10 (twenty-two years ago)

This last episode was only meh (but still a 9.5/10 on the panTV scale).

I find that Curb Your Enthusiasm has somehow made me love L.A. even more! Adam, you should really move down here. We'll meet for lunch, drive around in a Prius, and yell at each other.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

My friend LeRoy is Larry David's personal chef. I keep hoping he shows up in an episode. But I don't have cable, so I'd miss it anyway.

― Maria D., Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

"uh the first one"

best line ever. one of the blessings of improv?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:17 (twenty-two years ago)

"does anyone have a sponge?"

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 00:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I might actually buy an iPod if only to have the theme song play as I drive/walk around L.A.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes! I am downloading that right now.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

There MUST be a Curb Your Enthusiasm celly ringtone!!! Looking now!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 13 March 2004 01:06 (twenty-two years ago)

CLASSIC so classic.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 13 March 2004 01:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I rewatched the pilot last night, having previously thought it inferior to the series. It isn't.

"I find that I always nod to black people."

― Nick H (Nick H), Saturday, 13 March 2004 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I think one of my favourite bits is in the third series where Larry and Cheryl are sitting out on their porch, and Larry says;

"You hear the birds?"
"Yeah, it's nice."
"You know, I sometimes wonder what it would be like without them, if the nosie wasn't there. (big pause) It's not so bad."

― Nick H (Nick H), Saturday, 13 March 2004 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the episode when one of Larry's old friends comes for a visit and she brings him to one of her group meetings. The meeting was about incest.

The end was my favorite part.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 13 March 2004 17:57 (twenty-two years ago)

FYI Larry David's real wife is profiled in American Elle (or Vogue) this month...

― Chuck Tatum (Chuck Tatum), Saturday, 13 March 2004 18:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Larry's (tv) wife doesnt really love him, does she?

― Pablo Cruise (chaki), Saturday, 13 March 2004 18:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I think she kind of looks like a mouse at times.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 13 March 2004 18:30 (twenty-two years ago)

i think Cheryl is hott

― Pablo Cruise (chaki), Saturday, 13 March 2004 18:37 (twenty-two years ago)

"My job is loving you, Larry"
(Said *very* deadpan)

― Nick H (Nick H), Saturday, 13 March 2004 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

kind of a weak season ending, I thought. too much of the Producers to pad out the hour, a weak resolution to the anniversary present, and whatever happened to richard lewis? is he off the show? I didn't notice it until this episode but he wasn't around all season.

pluses: the tipping thing, though cliched, was still funny; "this is the floor, it's for standing"; the fellatio teacher; ann bancroft is still beautiful.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 19:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I am in love with cheryl hines.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 19:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I loved the Producers stuff. It was almost heart-warming. Also, it sheds a whole new light on Mel Brooks' optimism towards Larry for the entire season.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 19:42 (twenty-two years ago)

no way! the finale was PERFECT, totally mirroring the film "The Producers" sooooo funny. PS I wouldn't fuck a Republican with someone else's dick, either

― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 4 April 2024 19:53 (two years ago)

Omg it's the happy ending one.

― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 4 April 2024 19:53 (two years ago)

all caught up for the finale tonight, these plotlines are getting increasingly contrived and I can't help but notice how much they resemble the King's Quest games. so you have to take the masseuse to meet Bruce Springsteen in order to get her to drop a sexual harrassment claim? alright, whatever

― frogbs, Sunday, 7 April 2024 16:44 (two years ago)

Matt Berry was hilarious though

― frogbs, Sunday, 7 April 2024 16:45 (two years ago)

also kinda feels like a bunch of this episode got cut out, weird they kept referencing the zipper thing with no real payoff, also the Ken/Kendra thing was pretty weird

― frogbs, Sunday, 7 April 2024 16:47 (two years ago)

Richard Lewis Mercedes scenes were hard to watch

― calstars, Sunday, 7 April 2024 17:45 (two years ago)

I don't watch many TV series, so it's wild to remember watching this for the first time so long ago. Missed S1, and now checking the dates on S2 am amazed it's Sept-Nov 2001, post-9/11.

― paisley got boring (Eazy), Monday, 8 April 2024 00:41 (two years ago)

Yeah I remember my mom and uncle geeking out over this and me thinking it was really boring lol

― frogbs, Monday, 8 April 2024 01:27 (two years ago)

well that was about what I expected, appreciated the little meta twist there

did think it was odd that the plotline with Richard Lewis's girlfriend was never resolved, seemed possible that she actually was gonna murder him

― frogbs, Monday, 8 April 2024 14:12 (two years ago)

yeah that would’ve been great. also missed opportunity for an extra seinfeld finale tie-in to have their plane nearly crash (would’ve been accidentally topical too with the boeing stuff in the news)

leon watching seinfeld was the funniest

wonder what larry will do next, if anything. maybe another movie?

― flopson, Monday, 8 April 2024 17:02 (two years ago)

I thought when it was revealed that Leon was watching Seinfeld that he would get all the way up to the finale, come up with some really dumb idea of how they could've gotten out of it, only to have it work in the Curb universe. or it would backfire tremdendously.

― frogbs, Monday, 8 April 2024 17:56 (two years ago)

Yeah, that makes a ton of sense, as a way to have that Leon-watching-Seinfeld work pay off in a plot way. The plots this season were so sloppy in that way (someone mentioned the zipper, too), but hey, still fun.

― paisley got boring (Eazy), Monday, 8 April 2024 18:48 (two years ago)

this was one of the best seasons in years imo. definitely went out on a high note

― flopson, Monday, 8 April 2024 18:50 (two years ago)

Ah good to hear. Been waiting til it’s all done to watch the least season.

― I Chet the Holmgren (Spottie), Monday, 8 April 2024 19:08 (two years ago)

lmao he really does act the same way irl as he does on the show

After 12 seasons, many viewers lament the passing of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Larry David’s sour, pseudo bio-series. I’m not a fan, because Larry truly is the self-righteous, snobby, self-loathing, narcissistic ass he portrays. That opinion is informed by an outdoor afternoon…

If Alan Dershowitz did not exist Larry David would have had to invent him

― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 9 April 2024 14:20 (two years ago)

What's the timeline on that Geraldo story -- didn't Larry also have a feud going with Dershowitz?

― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 9 April 2024 15:00 (two years ago)

I’m so ready to leave this series in the dust but in retrospect of Lewis’s passing the last scene was a +
