Curb Your Enthusiasm Appreciation Thread

[AdamH]

Ok, here goes.

There's no middle ground with this show. Some people don't find it funny, some laugh politely but think "meh". Some people detest Larry's Character and some, like me, hope to one day become Larry David.

I don't know that there's a formula but if so, I think it's one part dialog and one part delivery. Take the Crazy Eyes Killah episode. That whole freestyle is evidently improvised, as is Larry suggestion that there's one too many "fucks" and

"bitch" is a better fit. Or what about the episode where Larry visits the masseuse who asks "would you like me to finish you off?" and proceeds to give him a handjob. His terrified face, combined with "puh puh puh pots...pots...stop!".

Anyway if you're a fan you know what I'm talking about, and you're as excited as I am to know that they're filming a sixth season at the moment that airs in the new year. If you're not a fan you can go fuck yourself you sicko, four-eyed fuck.

Sincerely,

"Bald Asshole"

Curb Your Enthusiasm is awesome... been falling over lots of times watching... don't go out of my way to catch it, but am always happy that I do, when I do

nicely crafty comedy, easy to tell its from the same camp as the creators of Seinfeld

[MarcO]

funny I was just thinking about this show this morning as I was washing my balls. I noticed I hadn't seen it on for a while so it's great to know a new season is being made. It's hilarious, I love it!

The Crazy Eyes Killah episode is classic.

[Esau.]

Great show, I just deleted all the seasons of my computer a week ago.

[peipunk]

"Yo Delicious....DELICIOUS...get Larry a tissue."

"Are you my Caucasian?"

Its Seinfeld with more dark dirty realism. I still love this show.

[AdamH]

"The guy wanted 3 steps and I said nah fuck that, and I got 4 mahfuckin' steps in here"

The Crazy Eyes episode is in my top 3.

"I'd know that ass anywhere!"

[Davey Boy 2.0]

Larry: I am not obsessed with asses.

Wanda: Ok, assy. And what is all that shit all over your shirt? You been scrounging around, looking for ass?

[MarcO]

I like any scene where Jeff's wife gets mad, especially at Larry.

I'm in the latter category too. Although I don't know if it's hope or fear. All that money would be nice.

Just watched seasons 4 & 5 about a month ago and am happy to hear a 6th is in the offing. I thought the 5th season had some true classic episodes, like The Christ Nail and The Seder -- very edgy episode with sex offender humour.

Makes me wonder if Larry David has a different slant on the Michael Richards saga. Has he said anything about it? David sometimes walks the same fine line that Richards tripped over last week.

[phishtaper]

LARRY, YOU SICK FUÇK ... Larry's manager Jeff's wife Susie is the best part of the show.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

Krazee-Eyez Killa: So you think you gonna cross me and mess with my shit? Opening your fucking trap and flapping your lip. Don't fuck with me nigga or you gonna get dropped. I'll snap off your neck with a crackle and pop. If you say anything, you'll beg me to die, 'cause I'll make you suck my dick then I'll nut in your eye. I'll stomp on your world as if my name was Godzilla. I'm coming for you mother fucker, I'm your Krazee-Eyez Killa.

[ollie]

I found this clip of Larry David last night. It's from the sketch comedy show Fridays in 1980. Also has some Michael Richards footage.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

ah yes how could you not love Susie?

Larry: Nice house.

Susie: Yeah, come on. I'll give you a tour.

Larry: Naw, it's ok.

Susie: No, come on.

Larry: No, it's ok. I-I get it.

Susie: You get it?

Larry: Yeah, it's a house. It's new. I get it. It's nice.

Susie: You get it? Ok, you know what? Get the fuck out of my house, Larry.

[MarcO]

I think Larry's wife is absolutely gorgeous, btw.

[peipunk]

I read somewhere that Susie's mailman in real life won't give her her mail until she calls him a "FAT FUCK".

[Tenenbaum]

"no, you see, if this was your ticket, it would say 'fucking douchebag'"

-i think Larry's wife looks almost like a primate

I'm so obsessed with the show, I just got the book.

I hope Season 6 delivers; season 5 was starting to wear itself a bit thin.

[AdamH]

Tenenbaum you are a jew, and every Jew I know loves this show. I think being Jewish and watching this show is worth more Jew points than going to every high holiday service.

[MarcO]

"excuse me, but are you a Jew?"

"what, do you want me to take my pants off?"

[Booche]

This is the hardest I have laughed on the site all week. Stupid fucking love-parade huggin' wookies.

I wanna see Wanda interact with one.

[phishtaper]

Dear Susie,

My boyfriend wants to move in with me but he hates my 2 dogs. He'll walk the Rotweiler but never the poodle as he says he is too embarrassed to be seen with her. Should I kick him out? I don't want him to traumatize my poodle. What should I do?

Signed,

Dogger,

Get rid of the guy. I have a theory that you can tell what a man is like in bed by what kind of dog he likes. For example, if he likes terriers then chances are he's a premature ejaculator. If he likes Labs, then he's good for a make out but has follow through problems. These are facts. I've done the research. Most men with Rotweiler's are closet cases and overcompensating. The fact that he doesn't like your Poodle is a very bad sign indeed. If you can find a hetero guy with a Yorkie or a Shih Tzu or a Pomeranian then that guy is a keeper. If he's secure enough in his sexuality to be seen with a froo froo little dog like that, then there's a man who is good in the sack!

Susie

Ask Susie ... some priceless Q & A.

[AdamH]

Larry and his ongoing breast obsession...fantastic theme.

[mouse runs across the floor]

"Uh! Tit Mouse! Tit Mouse!"

Larry David: Have you ever played telephone before? You don't even know how to play telephone, do you?

Cheryl: I *do* know how to play telephone.

Larry David: Oh, do you?

Cheryl: Yeah, but I usually play the "G" version. It's usually something like, "Susie lives down the lane."

Larry David: The kid didn't say "Susie lives down the lane," he said "I love tits!"

[Davey Boy 2.0]

well so much much for doing any work today

[ersh]

Agreed! That show is pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty good. His stare down is priceless. And Jeff Garlin in hysterical. I was even able to watch 'Daddy Daycare' because he just cracks me up.
