Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season Seven

What are his recent troubles, his rant at a comedy club was aout three years ago, is this still considered recent.

Anyway "Denise Wheelchair" was great.
All the lines Leon said he would do to Denise were a riot.

could be a top 5 Curb.

I wa replying to a post that used the word recent. Have a problem, go the source.

Garrett there is no reason to be snippy like that.
Were in my post did I say I had a problem with anything.

"I'd fuckin' break that ass in two, LD."

Ummm...Cheryl was on the radio yesterday and said Leon improved that whole bit and was cracking Larry up.  Damn, his rants are hilarious.

 Curb Your Enthusiasm is the most hilariously laugh out loud show on TV.  There is no other show that even comes close to the fits of laughter per show that CYE elicits.

And Tony, it was actually Denise Handicapped and Wendy Wheelchair.  I only point this out because that little detail (different surnames for each woman) made me laugh my ass off.

I almost had an aneurysm when Larry ran up the stairs to get away from the wheelchair ladies.  Talk about cowardly!

It cracks me up that Ted Danson always gets enraged at Larry every episode and then shows up the next episode with nothing but smiles -- only to be pushed to the brink of rage again.

Anyone notice that the husband who was throwing the private concert plays the lisping Kripke on BBT?

^.
yep when Wendy Wheelchair popped up on his phone I just couldn't believe he did that again, but then I realized, Oh it's Larry David.

Leon might be one of my favorite characters in TV history. Every time he is on the show I'm practically in tears from laughing so hard. Whoever is responsible for casting him on this show deserves a gold star. 

I think some people may find it too broad but I thought that episode was absolutely hysterical. From Larry and Jerry not moving in for Lewis to the urine tears to the 1960's flashback (complete with bloodshed) to Larry grabbing the girl's bare midriff at the end, I was in stitches.

Can someone remind me of some of the names Leon programs in his phone for girls names?  Those were hilarious.

Last night's episode was great too. 

I wasn't all that crazy about the episode last night (WTF with the napkins and the police crackdown? or the very end with Larry grabbing onto the muffin-top flesh for dear life?).

One of the funniest episodes of television I've seen in a long time. It was out there on so many levels.

very strange episode, it felt.....off

It was pretty over the top...even for Larry.  But, still hilarious.

I just love watching Jerry and Larry argue.  Man, it's just like watching Jerry and George in the cafe.  No wonder that show was so good.  It's just how they riff.

Apparently LD has gone and offended some people with his last ep. That means he's doing his job...

Those scenes were so silly that it's hard to believe that anyone could take it seriously enough to be offended. Of course, I suspect it's less that they were offended and more that they have a desire to see their own names and organizations in the paper. I hope Larry sends them thank you notes for helping to publicize the show (because that's the only thing that they achieved).

 I don't know why people still listen to Bill Donohue.  He's a media whore who runs "The Catholic League", which has no official affiliation with the Catholic church.  He runs around complaining and whining and generally being offended over anything and everything just as long as he's quoted in the news.

Thought the bare midriff episode was hilarious, but didn't much care for the black swan. That was probably the weakest episode of the season IMHO. It's probably because I can't stand that guy that plays Larry's cousin. I think his name is Richard something....he just annoys the living hell out of me.

Richard Kind.
He speaks highly of you.

I must disagree. I thought The Black Swan was great. I've been going around saying "You kill Swan!? all week. Also, I love Cousin Andy

The episode this season that fell flat for me was "The Hot Towel".  I didn't find the calling the doctor very funny and Larry telling the people to stop singing, including Jeff's daughter, was simply the most abhorrent thing I've seen this character do.  I just didn't find it humorous, it was just uncomfortable.  Usually Larry teeters between uncomfortableness and the absurdity of a situation whereas that episode he just seemed like a d-bag.

As far as "The Black Swan," I had to stop the DVR when he swung the golf club and there was a flurry of black feathers because I was laughing so hard I couldn't continue!  The facial expressions of "shock" Larry sometimes exhibits are so funny.  Plus, this was the first episode in a long time where he did a "stare down" with someone.

What does it say about me that I've wanted to do that exact same thing to people? Granted, I'm not nutty or rude enough to actually do it but there's been times when I've thought that the person was just embarassing themselves and someone desperately needed to tell them that they couldn't sing so they would stop humiliating themselves in public.

 I thought Larry's behavior in The Black Swan was much more reprehensible and unjustified than The Hot Towel.  Larry was full on sociopathic the last episode.  There wasn't a shred of empathy.

That said, I still laughed my ass off.  When the owner was interrogating the foursome in his office, I lost it.

I thought Richard Kind (Cousin Andy) was in great form during The Black Swan episode. I agree with Brian's comments about how funny the black swan attack sequence was, and then the discussion afterward. Subsequent to that, there was a brilliant and hysterical scene where the criminal gang (Larry, Andy, Marty and Jeff) are watching the drama unfold out the window as they sit in the country club dining room, jittery and making accusations at one another. I've watched both of these scenes multiple times and I laugh at them each and every time! Great stuff.

Just watched the latest episode about Larry and his pants from Banana Republic. As Larry was leaving during the fire drill, for a split second, they show a cameo with Ben Affleck (with a beard) who never returns during the episode. I saw it in real time and thought, "Was that Ben Affleck??" and sure enough it was. Funky.

They need more Leon on the show. These last few episodes have just been OK in my opinion.  

Oh, it was Affleck? I saw that guy and just thought that it was a guy who looked alot like him.

Larry in panties is a sight that will haunt me forever.

Oh, it was really him? I thought he looked like him, but you could hardly see him so I didn't think it was Affleck. It was another great episode, though. Absolutely hysterical. I've watched a couple of episodes from the first seasons (it was never broadcast here on a regular basis) but Curb Your Enthusiasm isn't really about the continuing storylines, so it's easy to pick up. And with the Seinfeld reunion coming I was very interested to follow it again. It doesn't disappoint, it's as great as ever.

One thing that took me right back to Seinfeld was seeing Jerry's smirk when Larry was trying to talk himself out of a hole during the casting scene.

The casting director that Jerry and Larry were working with was the real casting director for Seinfeld. And I think former Seinfeld writer Carol Leifer played the lemonade stand mom.

It was Affleck alright.  My wife spotted him immediately so I rewound to make sure.  I was waiting for him to reappear at the end.  I assumed he took Larry's pants, but he never came back.

 




You're welcome.

"Call the police"  - what a closing line.
