Curb Your Enthusiasm TV Show • Page 53

Larry himself is just very....loud. Like lots of shouting and yelling, which I really noticed because I've been marathoning the old seasons because a lot of them I never really watched. Definitely a lot more yelling haha.

 

It's night and day compared to the early seasons for sure.

 

lol the finale's gonna be Larry on trial

 

One of the biggest differences is that in the early seasons Larry was usually either innocent or misunderstood and the over-the-top responses of other people is what the show was mocking and criticizing, while over time Larry's behavior has been the outlandish part.

It is interesting you bring up late Seinfeld because the thing that made that show drop off so dramatically was David's absence the last two seasons.

 

Haha yeah I thought about that, pretty ironic.

 

Has there ever been a comedy show that became less broad over time?

 

Larry is doubling down on the Seinfeld finale at this rate haha

 

LD is on the newest Conan podcast.

 

the show ending with Larry going to jail for doing something good/the right thing inadvertently seems pretty perfect tbh

 

This new episode was a lot of fun.

 

Lost it at the statue dripping

 

louie?

 

Finally started the season and agree that the first episode wasn't great but the second was an improvement. I hope the trial/Maria Sofia stuff doesn't take up too much time in the final season though

Really happy to see Richard Lewis in the preview for next week

 

Still think the first ep was pretty bad even on a second viewing with friends, the 2nd episode had me dying, much better build up and payoff classic curb feel

 

Him leaning it to look at and then suddenly going "Guilianni!" had me dying

 

my terminally online politics brain clocked the resemblance immediately. was very happy to see it acknowledged by Larry lol

 

lmao despite how political the first two episodes had been, I completely did not connect JEff and the statue dripping with Rudy until Larry said it. Definitely got a big guffaw out of me.

 

I can't believe they set that joke up in the first episode, too lol

 

Yeah somehow my mom saw that coming and I forgot that even happened with Rudy so it hit me outta nowhere, esp the way he delivered the line, “Guiliani.. that asshole !” with excitement

 

Suzie’s fashion sense remains intact, I see

 

As soon as they were putting shoe polish on the jockey I knew we were getting a Guliani joke.

Just wish it had involved him marrying and making love to his cousin.

 

never watched curb.

tried watching the first episode of the newest season and had to turn it off when Larry was flipping out in the car. shit was mad annoying

 

Start from the beginning

 

I shall

 

Early seasons are more Larry reacting to the insaneness and stupidity of the people around him, and being really monotone and calmly "what the fuck?" about it all, versus now, where he's just outwardly a cynical and sarcastic asshole who just shouts and blatently and obviously calls out the stupidity of people in a loud and "angry old man" kinda way.

Think the season 1 episode with the wire and Dean. Larry just being pissed off at the whole situation with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, just a pissed off Larry without the yelling and franticness.

Versus now where everything's just chaotic.

That being said, the new episode was fucking great. The golf ball, Leon's balls, the "free golf lessons" and Larry trying to pat the puppy. All gold.
