i think he's running out of ideas. the first two seasons had premises that were plausibly realistic enough, but now the plots are getting progressively more "wacky." soon it'll just be a typical sitcom with foul language added for edginess (see episode where the hired chef has Tourettes for example)

season 3 and 4 are the best! so are 1 and 2!

foul language added for edginess

I don't think it has ever been used/screamed so sublimely. I mean, when Julia Louis-Dreyfus says "I have no f*ckin' idea" is one of my favorite moments from the entire show.

"LARRY YOU FOUR-EYED F*CK!"

Definitely want to get these DVDs at some point here.

Just picked up season 2 DVD last week. Have not yet commenced watching.

It makes you realize just how nasty and twisted the "standup comedian" mindset is.

-- Tracer Hand (tracerhan...), January 17th, 2005.

i just watched a French and Saunders Dvd and I thought the funniest thing on it was their imitation of a female American stand-up comedian. Just boring insults and the 'catchphrase' was doing the fingers. That sounds kind of prudish, it's not meant to though.

i love his "what?!" look

"GET ME THE HEAD!!!!!!!!"

"I'd fuck her with a Bush mask on!" (already mentioned earlier) is an all-time TV highlight. Jeff Garlin's timing and delivery is consistently outstanding.

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 19 February 2005 02:10 (nineteen years ago) link

and his stoned look in his eye and his "i dont give a fuck" smile

charleston charge (chaki), Saturday, 19 February 2005 02:53 (nineteen years ago) link

what episode is "i'd fuck her with a bush mask on" from?

jed_ (jed), Saturday, 19 February 2005 14:52 (nineteen years ago) link

i have NEVER seen this. If I hated Seinfeld, what odds does this have, out of curiosity?

Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Saturday, 19 February 2005 15:07 (nineteen years ago) link

jed: the last in series 4. SPOILER larry is about to have sex with his co-star when he sees she has a bush photo on her dresser, he relays this to geoff later. he reacts with that indignation.

I always enjoyed Seinfeld but I never actually tuned it in. I can't even remember what day of the week it was on vs. I buy Curb DVDs...

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 19 February 2005 21:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Just watched the Shaq episode (thank you, HBO On Demand!).

I'll have a vanilla... one of those vanilla bullshit things. You know, whatever you want, some vanilla bullshit latte cappa thing. Whatever you got.

I'd recognize that tush anywhere!

Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 7 March 2005 06:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 7 March 2005 06:16 (nineteen years ago) link

OMG the baptism episode! "You're a hero. When you said that you'd never seen a baptism before? Genius."

I downloaded that and markies bought my curb.

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 22:01 (eighteen years ago) link

this show is so much better than Seinfeld - it has all the funny pacing and delivery of Seinfeld, only even MORE wild and offensive than network TV would ever allow, and without any of the bullshit (slap bass, *cough* Kramer *cough*)

Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 11 May 2005 22:07 (eighteen years ago) link

booze shame of ilx shakey.

season 4!

-- cozen (skiplevel...) (webmail), May 11th, 2005 5:51 PM. (Cozen) (link)

I think this was meant to sound positive, and if so, I agree. The first two or three episodes of the season almost turned me off the show, because they were focused on plot points that were fucking stupid. Producers. Sleeping With Another Woman. All very forced. But then I guess everything on the show is somewhat forced, and maybe these were just the things that were the least funny.

But starting in episode 4 with "Fierce" and continuing on from there, it's very very funny. On-point. Don't miss.

"I guess getting into trouble is FUNNY."

there's this security guard guy at work who for some reason quite clearly hates me with a burning passion. i have to pass him on the way in every day, and when he's not engaged he likes to spend that awkward period staring at me with either a grimace or smirk, depending on his mood or maybe the level of my bedhead i guess. i think his main problem with me is either my very awkward frame, which seems to inspire bizarre passions in many, the fact that i've never really acknowledged him on my way in (though this seems par for the course) or that in the early going i had a habit of 'forgetting' to wear my id badge. "where's your id badge, man?" [i hastily/lazily put it on] "you gotta wear that thing!" etc. whatever, anyway a few days ago i leave my fucking desk to take a break and head down to the basement cafeteria. there's this vending machine, dunno how common they are, that's basically a multilevelled turntable with various compartments contained wherein are various frozen/cold sandwiches, softdrinks, etc. now i've seen one of these at a previous place of work where a coworker told me he'd managed to swipe 2 sandwiches for the price of one by (i gathered) reaching around one of the compartments and somehow slipping a sandwich thru. since no one's around i decide this would be a good time to give this a try. after checking the room for cameras (!) [the very same cameras the aforementioned guard may well be peering into] i put in my money, slide open a compartment, remove the sandwich, and start digging around with my hand when the sound of cart wheels come quickly gliding into the room and stop. i pop up from my compromising, slightly hunched over position and glance to my left to find guesswho turned about 60 degrees at a dead stop, glaring at me. our eyes meet for a long couple seconds when i awkwardly open and close the compartment one last time (?) and to my minor relief hear his cart being pushed on its way.

somehow, not that funny.
