*CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM* (1 Viewer)

That was a fantastic episode, beginning to end. These last two, IMO, have been the best since the season finale with Larry & The Blacks.

 
Susie Essman really knows how to swear.

I've always thought Joe Pesci was the gold standard, but she's in the picture.

The f-bombs drop from her mouth so easily yet they have an anger and an intensity.

I have never gotten into this show, but I watched these first two episodes and am wondering why I haven't stopped by this party before. Hilarious show. "lol Jeff, lol."
 
Larry's on the cover of Rolling Stone this month, and the interview/article is worth reading if you're a fan.

 
Is "Super Dave Osborne" an obscure reference to the actor playing Funkhouser?

That is how I always refer to him, and I'm surprised how few people have heard of him--not just younger people, but people in their late 30's, early 40's.

I loved his show as a kid. I couldn't wait to see what new way he would get demolished (my favorite was by the steamroller).

Super Dave on the Letterman show was some of the best comedy out there. :thumbup:
 
I thought the first episode of the season was literally one of the best episodes ever made. Second episode was strong but now seems to be tanking. They should have had larry, funkhauser and leon all move in with each other.

I'd agree with this for the most part. Really looking forward to seeing LD in NYC. He better take Leon b/c he hasn't been featured like he should be.

4th episode could have had everything covered in about 15 mins. Not my favorite, but I'm grateful for new stuff anytime.

 
Richard Lewis sitting alone at the restaurant at the end had me rolling. The last you saw him was about the middle of the episode with the "I need a confirmation". I had forgotten about Larry's guarantee until the end.

Larry catching the women in a chat 'n cut.

"First of all, congratulations on a great attempt at a chat 'n cut, really good! 99 times out of a 100, that's gonna work, unfortunately, I happen to be in the line."

"I respect your skills really. Excellent"

Larry getting accused of a chat 'n cut.

"It's a total chat 'n cut"

"No no no no no.. Please, please, don't insult me okay, I invented the chat 'n cut. This is amateur hour. If I was gonna do it, you wouldn't even notice."

"It's not a chat 'n cut!" :lmao:

 
Larry's inquisitive mind wondering how a vet's income stacks up against a medical doctors', so he asks the wife. Of course she is amazed at his bold and personal questioning. So he tells her she can ask him anything, "go ahead, ask."

Her question? "When is the last time you ****** off?"

Larry, "This morning."

Chat 'n cut
 
I wonder if Gervais improvised the line about Seinfeld being "broad comedy" and David left it in.

I have watched the scene twice, and the way Larry flinched and his mouth opened but he didn't have a comeback seemed unscripted. He looked genuinely surprised by that line.

He's heard all sorts of insults about his personality, his baldness, his outlook on life, but I would bet he has not heard any snide remarks about Seinfeld, and that's maybe why he was caught off guard.

"I like the laugh track on your show... it lets you know when to laugh." :lol:
 
Very solid episode. One faux paus though. Why would Larry buy Gervais a bottle of wine when Jeff is trying to land him in his agent represented actor stable? Jeff should have picked up the wine. Gervais did screw him on the $200 ticket though, first he said "I'll get you a couple tickets" when they established Larry would be flying solo he said, "you can get your ticket at the box office".

Loving this season, previews shows Leon is back next week.
