Let me bump this thread.

GREAT season premiere. I'm so happy this show is back.

[Bay Ridge Tim]

Let me bump this thread.

GREAT season premiere. I'm so happy this show is back.

This show totally snuck up on me. I had no idea it was back on already. I knew it was coming back, but I saw zero promotions for it.

That episode was pretty, pretty good. I'm glad it's backed. The best part was when Funkhouser asked Larry, "Why'd you take the balls home?"

[JimBeam]

Yes this was a fantastic episode !!

There were several occasions were I laughed out loud prompting my wife to wake up and ask me what I was laughing about.

It was completely filled w/ all of the normal awkwradness you'd expect from Larry's character.

By the way was Richard's g/f played by Tia Carrere ?

[ChrisTheCop]

ATTN CURB FANS!!!!!!!

The season actually begins (again) TONIGHT at 9!!!!

Click HERE (http://www.hbo.com/apps/schedule/ScheduleServlet?CHANNEL=All+Channels&ACTION_SEARCH=SEARCH&KEY=TITLE&VALUE=curb+your+enthusiasm) for info.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Good Start...

Love the Super Dave. His Character Rocks

:king:

[Doogie]

That would be like my last name being Jew

Ohhh God. I love when Larry just brings that total awkward moment. And as for the showning up at a party a day later, I have actually done that in my life cause I felt bad I missed the party.

[underdog]

By the way was Richard's g/f played by Tia Carrere ?

I thought so, but I imdb'ed her, and it didn't show up under her credits.

[JimBeam]

Looks like it was her :

[The Silencer]

gotta love Curb!

[underdog]

Holy shit. That might have been the best Curb episode yet.

Jeff Garlin could possibly be the funniest person alive right now. He killed on RnF and "I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With" looks amazing.

"Come on over and whack off! Have a good time."

[KnoxHarrington]

"You spilled your semen in our friend's house?"

Yeah, great episode.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Gotta Love Susie Green

and just so you Know

Im Anonymus, I donated the New Wing

:king:

[The Silencer]

Larry David is a fucking genius lol...I was ok with the opening episode but gotta see how the season goes! :smoke:

[Slumbag]

When Susie was talking to Larry about "Masterbatory Revenge", I almost
shit myself. I am TOTALLY gonna start using that term.

[Kevin]

Gotta Love Susie Green

and just so you Know

Im Anonymus, I donated the New Wing

:king:

You are such a great person.. And just selfless.. But so you know.. With your track record.. That wing will prob be bombed or that hospital will go bankrupt in less than a year..:sleep:

[BoondockSaint]

I bring the ruckus to the ladies.

[KnoxHarrington]

The problem I have with the show now is that it's getting too sit-commish. That is, the situations are getting really contrived. Larry steals flowers from a roadside memorial because he can't use a $50 bill? Doesn't he have a credit or debit card? That's what I'd have done, and I didn't co-create Seinfeld.

Earlier, sometimes the situations Larry got into weren't his fault, and you could kind of side with him. Increasingly, though, he's going from being just kind of a jerk into a damn-near psychopath.

[underdog]

I had this same thought last night. He's sort of gone from weird, quirky, asshole to basically a sociopath.

I thought the same thing watching it last night.

Also, what I'd like to see is if they could grow Cheryl more as a character, for example, when Larry screwed up with the woman from the school in the ice cream place he needed to go and apologize to her. He told Cheryl he'd fix it and she just went and assumed he would.

Based on what? He has an entire history of not fixing and only making matters worse, while it's funny how many times can he do the same thing? I would have rather seen her say, no we'll fix it together knowing you, and then it's the two of them in the situation. He would have still fucked it up somehow but at least it would have been more creative than the same thing again and again.

[ChimneyFish]

I bring the ruckus to the ladies.

That line had me howling.

[ChrisTheCop]

Vivica A. Fox
Charles Napier
Tia Carerre?

Looks like the cast of a Lifetime crime drama.

I love the Cha Cha character, I have had so many of her in my life, though not as hot.
And the lefty "what are you wearing" call had me laughing out loud.

It's not the strongest season so far, but I'm glad he's back.
Good stuff.

[BoondockSaint]

I need a freak book.

[KnoxHarrington]

Wow, what a terrible episode. I'd mock "Two and a Half Men" for plotlines that improbable and contrived.

[drjoek]

Plus they have already done the limo driver gimmick AND the cemetery plot line before. i was disappointed except for John McEnroes cursing. One other thing what ever happened to continuity i know its a sit com but the plot line was day or night then afternoon then evening


overall: jumping the shark big time

Awww horseshit, I still laughed my ass off

[MikeB]

One other thing what ever happened to continuity i know its a sit com but the plot line was day or night then afternoon then evening

And why do the David's seem to move every year? And what happened to the restaurant? Why does Larry need an office? How did Jeff's dog get all the way to the beach?
This show has always had this sort of stuff. Maybe because Larry hates writing.

I did laugh my ass off when they were talking about the graves and Larry improved something like "I would know, I came back from the dead." And the week before when there was a Producers poster with Larry and Schweimer.

[underdog]

This week's episode was fucking brilliant. Best episode of the season so far.

[BMoses]

You got long balls. Long Balls Larry

[BoondockSaint]

You got long balls. Long Balls Larry

Leon is fucking hysterical.

[DolaMight]

Leon is fucking hysterical.

Yeah I love the whole orphaned family now that Cheryl is gone, they're the only ones that chose Larry, they're the only family's he's got left. And Leon with the long balls doctor visit just floored me. Who is that actor? I'm sure I've seen him doin standup somewhere.

[joethebartender]

"we're going with Cheryl...sorry, Larry.":tongue:

[BoondockSaint]

Who is that actor? I'm sure I've seen him doin standup somewhere.


His name is J.B. Smoove. I know I've seen him do standup, too, but I don't remember him being funny.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

His name is J.B. Smoove. I know I've seen him do standup, too, but I don't remember him being funny.

nope, Mr Smoove needs LD to come up with some Damn funny lines and scenerios.

btw I also Choose Cheryl

:king:

[FANDICK]

"Hey...I got long balls"

:thumbup:

[Doogie]

I caught the last few episodes tonight on OnDemand. When he was out with Lucy Lawless I knew he was gonna do something awkward talking about his testicles. I laughed and cringed at his plight. Goddamn. This is the best show on tv now. Californication is second for me, but Curb is first.

[TheGameHHH]

I've never seen this show before and tonight i decided i'd start watching via OnDemand. I'm 3 episodes in so far with this season and i like the show. i'm certainly not crazy about it like a lot of people are, but it's def. enjoyable. I also caught one on HBO tonight with David Schwimmer where him and Larry open up The Producers and that's hands down the best out of the 4 episodes ive seen so far.

Three words for you crazy eyes killa

[drjoek]

My Enthusiam is sadly being Curbed for this show. I am on board since the first episode and I don't laugh as much or at all anymore. Larry David is hilarious and all but the show is way too predictable now.
Plus the racism it displays is beyond over the top

[angrymissy]

I was disappointed with this season until last weeks episode. I think the whole Cheryl leaves Larry situation is going to save it.

[drjoek]

Yeah but that came completely out of no where I know hes having marital issues in real life but 2 minutes into a episode he breaks up
Meh:huh:

i like that everyone is chosing Cheryl

[epo]

I was disappointed with this season until last weeks episode. I think the whole Cheryl leaves Larry situation is going to save it.

Going into this season I got the feeling that Larry wasn't too interested in continuing the series too much longer. Something like this...could keep him interested in doing the show for awhile.

More Curb = More gooder.

[BMoses]

Plus the racism it displays is beyond over the top

And yet you hang out here

[Doogie]

I just caught the replay of tonights episode. Probably the most brilliant take on racial problems and how conext and timing causes people to go into a tizzy. And the issues of being bald a pretext for racial undertones. Wow.

Best episode of this season!!!

[MikeB]

Yea, I can't think of another example on TV where the topic of race was done so well.

[Doogie]

"Im mugging you!!!"

Awesome epsiode. I loved that Leon was like "yo Larry, someone has to get fucked up. Ill break your glasses your teeth or something. I m not just gonna roll over like a bitch."

[underdog]

Hilarious season finale.

[Doogie]

Goddamn...that final two minutes sumemd up the whole season. Goddamn did that kick ass!! I caught the ending on the W channel. Fucking great!!! I loved when Suzy was cursing Larry out and Vivica Fox jumped in her face "You arent cursing in my mans face. Are you bitch?!?" And slammed the door in her face. Even better was when they were in the movies and all of them were uproarious. Goddamn, fucking Larry David is genius...

[RoseBlood]

That was the season finale? I was wondering why it ran a little over 30min. It seems like the seasons are getting shorter and shorter but the actors paychecks are getting bigger and bigger. Anyway, yeah the last scene was funny.. Happy Holidays from Larry David and The Blacks!

[GreatAmericanZero]

yeah, that was my favorite part too. i loved the episode. i hope its not 2 years before they come back

Here's the last two minutes of the finale, in all its glory. Just hilarious.

[KnoxHarrington]

yeah, that was my favorite part too. i loved the episode. i hope its not 2 years before they come back

Really, that felt like a series finale to me more than a season finale, especially because it seemed like it was dealing with events taking place over weeks or months, not just a few days. Though I have heard elsewhere that Larry David does want to bring the show back.

[Kevin]

I was laughing my fucking ass off at that... holy shit was that funny

Hysterical! Maybe the funniest thing ever on the show.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

great season, those final 2 minutes were great

Susie Green was put in her place


If they do comeback for another season, i think Larry will either be in a coma or it was all a dream

:king:

[Doogie]

Usually adding new characters kills a show...I have to say I LOVE the Leon character. He has been on fire all fucking season, every episode he was in. Vivica Fox was good, but the dude playing Leon is what causes her character to come out a little better.

Best line of the season from Leon: "Yo Larry, I have to break something. Your glasses your teeth, something. Im not just gonna let you stop me taking her purse like a little bitch."

[GreatAmericanZero]

Richard Lewis is on the daily show and jon just said "hes going to start filming new episodes of "curb" in december"

til this moment, i haven't heard anything about them getting another season

YAY! more "Curb"!

[ChimneyFish]

I loved "the Blacks" last season.
Hilarious.

[biozombie]

I loved "the Blacks" last season.
Hilarious.

"That’s like if my last name was Jew!"

[Doogie]

"That’s like if my last name was Jew!"

Even better than that line is the look that the mother gives Larry after dropping this line.

[Slumbag]

It's gonna be a tough season to write after the last season finale (which was hilarious).

I was reading USA Today. There's this show on FOX with the brother from Raymond. It's fucking terrible. They have JB Smoove, the black dude from Curb on it. And NOW, they're adding Vivica Fox to play his sister. What a load of crap.

"Til Death" is an awful show that i enjoy watching as mindless entertainment. Its a bag of Doritos meal to the "medium rare new york strip steak and garlic mashed potatoes" that is "Curb your Enthusiasm". But i didn't know they were adding Vivica A. Fox to that show

Whatever anyone does..i'll always have faith in Larry David in putting together a great next season!

[TheGameHHH]

i've been watching a TON of old episodes OnDemand and you know who i've grown quite fond of? Funkhauser. The guy is so dry it's hilarious.

the scene where larry steals the flowers from funkhauser's mother's memorial and marty comes to the house and tells larry he didn't expect his best friend to do something like that and larry comes back with "best friend? you aren't my best friend." still cracks me up.

[chubbyknuckles]

Best comedy on TV and the new season with him being in the Black family should make for enormously funny shit, can't wait!

[whorehay]

Larry David on the Seinfeld cast reunion on Curb Your Enthusiasm this Fall.
http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/07/larry-david-talks-seinfeld-reunion-on-curb.html

"I would say, 'No, there's no reunion, we would never do that, it's a lame idea' ... but it might be really funny to do that on 'Curb' ... and I kept thinking of how we could pull this off, and Jerry was game ... so we're doing a 'Seinfeld' reunion show. ... We'll see the read-through, parts of rehearsals, the show being filmed ... you won't see the entire [mock 'Seinfeld' episode] ... you'll get an idea of what happened 11 years later [for the characters]."

Asked whether the show will acknowledge Michael Richards' comedy club scandal, David said, "It's possible."

<a href="http://xs.to"><img src="http://xs942.xs.to/xs942/09316/6a00d83451d69069e201157159a38e970c-320wi-1331.jpg" title=></a>

[JimBeam]

I actually saw an episode On Demand last night that I hadn't seen.

The one where Larry gets the massage and almost gets a happy ending.

Then he gets in trouble for trying to bring the restaurant's fork and napkin out to the limo driver.

Classic stuff because it all snowballs.

[ANC]

September 20th the new season premiers... It's HBO's B'day present to me. :clap:

Oh, I knew he was familiar for some reason. Yeah, that guy is pretty funny.

So pumped for the new season, I think I'm just going to go back and watch all the old ones.

[TooLowBrow]

It's Not A Reunion Show but It's the Closest You'll Get

:smile:

[Willmore]

The first episode's story arc war ripped from Earl's memoirs.

[Dirtybird12]

brilliant stuff

[King Hippos Bandaid]

another gr8 episode.... F**k me Fatboy

[BrentfromTN1]

Larry doing an "Earl Freebreeze Faint" had me laughing so hard!

[KnoxHarrington]

It's still a good show, but it's starting to feel a little contrived to me. Like that whole scene where the doctor goes into Larry's fridge and gets a lemonade. That almost seemed to be sticking in an excuse for Larry to get in an argument.

Still funny, true, but it does seem like the shows are constructed now to come up with as many ways to get Larry into an argument as possible now.

OK, I posted this int he middle of watching, and I just got to the "Fuck me fatboy!" scene. Fucking gold.

But weren't the shows always constructed that way?

It might seem obvious now, after 15 seasons of Seinfeld and Curb combined, but it's always the same formula. Almost none of the situations are natural, they are specifically constructed and timed for comic effect and Larry has mastered it.

and the doctor has to add 'only liquids', then there is the one second shot of larry grabbing lunch meat.
i like when larrys troubles are less cut and dry. moral outrage is less effective when you know the person is wrong.



i think that in the coming episodes, jeff will push for the seinfeld reunion, because the big names will save his tarnished name. and larry will go along with it, to get away from the blacks and closer to cheryl.
i thought the scenes of larry and cheryl were very romantic and a big difference from where they left things a few years ago. i wonder how that relates to larry davids real life.

[Slumbag]

.

I didn't even think about Jeff.
I just figured Larry is gonna do it to get Cheryl, because she wants him to act more like he did in the "Seinfeld Days".

[TooLowBrow]

I didn't even think about Jeff.
I just figured Larry is gonna do it to get Cheryl, because she wants him to act more like he did in the "Seinfeld Days".

the way i see it is jeff is his agent

and hbo execs like entourage, and that has a wheeling-dealing agent

so, thats whats gonna suck about curb

[Kublakhan61]

I thought the premiere was very strong. My chest hurt from laughing -that hasn't happened since last season of Curb.
"I'd rather have thieves then neighbors. Neighbors want your time, thieves just want stuff. I'd rather give up stuff." I couldn't agree more.

I can't imagine being a person who approaches things from the point of view of "I plan to be disappointed". I don't think this season is going to suck.

[yojimbo7248]

I'll watch it because I love the show but I didn't enjoy first episode as much as a I had hoped. It felt a little forced and stale to me. Same formula - Larry breaks or is offended someone else breaks social rule then they yell at each other. I still like it but found it a little tiresome.

Maybe its because I don't watch TV (I dl'd the ep so I wouldn't have to wait for the DVD like I do with anything I watch) that I'm not burnt out on it's offerings? Or maybe the fact that I was so excited about the show's return that I actually went out of my way to DL it, that made me enjoy it so much.

I guess what I'm saying is, I'm genuinely surprised that we aren't unanimously heralding the return of Larry David.

Cancel your TV subscriptions. You'll enjoy TV more.

[Doogie]

Goddamn...I was laughing my ass off at two scenes in tonights episode. The first was where Larry broke that dude's glasses and they are arguing about it and one of Larry's best comebacks is "Your a moron..." I dont know why, it just made me laugh. I guess because I have seen old neighbors of mine and just wanted to blurt that out amongst our glad handing each other.

The other part was the ending with Leon, and how he thought Leon would leave with the family. "Well I guess this means..." "...I am eating my chinese food upstairs. In my mother fucking room."

Can't wait to see the Seinfeld reunion next week. Looks fantastic.

[KnoxHarrington]

The first was where Larry broke that dude's glasses and they are arguing about it and one of Larry's best comebacks is "Your a moron..." I dont know why, it just made me laugh. I guess because I have seen old neighbors of mine and just wanted to blurt that out amongst our glad handing each other.

The other part was the ending with Leon, and how he thought Leon would leave with the family. "Well I guess this means..." "...I am eating my chinese food upstairs. In my mother fucking room."

Can't wait to see the Seinfeld reunion next week. Looks fantastic.

I liked this episode a lot more than the first one. It seemed more organic than the first one, much less designed around a series of things to piss Larry off.

Plus, I fucking hate those packages you can't open with anything either.

[paulisded]

I didn't hate the first episode as much as some of you, but it was clearly just a set up for this season. You had the introduction of Larry being sick of the Black family, his desire to reunite with Cheryl, and the first mention of a Seinfeld reunion. Maybe the fridge section was a bit forced, but it was still a pretty good episode.

Last night's broadcast, though, was stellar. Who hasn't fought with packaging? The glasses thing and the dinner debacle were vintage Larry, and the bj storyline was hilarious. That it all ended up back with the packaging issue had me laughing harder than I have in quite some time.

[Chimee]

The last scene with the knife in the packaging was hilarious.

[Jujubees2]

The last scene with the knife in the packaging was hilarious.

True, but when the opener was on, wasn't it a little bit weird? I mean, who doesn't know how to open a clam-shell package? Get a knife or a pair of scissors ... or knissors and just cut.

[foodcourtdruide]

Watching ep. 2 now. Omg, hilarious.

I loved how they set up running themes and balanced them out perfectly throughout the show -- the whole thing about impossible-to-open packaging and road head coming back up several times during the show, and then meeting at the end. Just brilliant.

[JimBeam]

The ending was very funny.

I should've seen it coming but didn't.

[August_West]

My ONLY gripe and a small one is when he gets into arguements and uses the"seinfeldisms" to argue. Just argue don't call everything a "the XXX". Like the close hug etc.

[epo]

I'm giggling thinking about the prospects of Leon doing a scene with Michael Richards. The possibilities are endless...

[KnoxHarrington]

I suspect Leon is hanging around because while Larry David wanted to get the Black Family plotline out of the way, he wants someone around for when Michael Richards shows up.

I'm guessing all four of them will be in next week's episode -- we only saw Jerry and Jason Alexander in the preview.

[JohnCharles]

The preview also showed Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards.

This actually seems like a very, very clever way to "rehab" the image of Michael Richards and yet still have fun doing it.

From what I've read, the four only appear together in a two or three of the six episodes revolving around the reunion.

The short portion of the scene they showed between Larry and Michael Richards seemed like it was gonna be funny.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

the episode was pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty good










seeing the behind the scenes 20 minute show about the seinfeld reunion gets my cock a lil hard, not gonna lie

Him harassing the waiter was amazing.

[Reephdweller]

Absolutely loved it. Probably my favorite episode in a while. As much as I love this show, some of them can be hit or miss, this definitely was one of the best and I really like the angel and direction this is going in.

[KnoxHarrington]

I gotta say, the Seinfeld cast member that made me laugh the hardest of them all was Michael Richards, in that scene where he's distracted as hell looking at the nude pix on the wall of that restaurant. That might have been my single favorite scene in the whole show.

[Nothing Sound]

I really like the angel ....

What angel? I don't recall an angel.

You should really start from the beginning. I don't know how anyone can understand the characters if they just start with season 7.

[TheMojoPin]

Oh, definitely. I'm not begrudging the guy for doing it since he clearly did it for his daughters...it's just the last place I'd expect Larry David to show up.

[TheMojoPin]

You should really start from the beginning. I don't know how anyone can understand the characters if they just start with season 7.

See, I'd argue that one of the strengths of the show (until this season) is you could basically pick any epsiode from any season and go with it. Nothing really carried over of significance that you had to know of ahead of time. It's only with this season that they've finally changed that with storylines like Larry's seperation and the Blacks that you'd have to have seen season 6 to know what had happened.

[Willmore]

Did anyone else feel odd when Larry David just lifted a scene from Seinfeld? The whole unhooking the bra with the wrong hand thing was straight from Seinfeld, it was a bit bizarre.

That's happened a few times over the course of the series, and it's always struck me as odd, like the time he was grilling Jeff for not reading anything on the plane. It basically Elaine yelling at Puddy for the same thing.

For the most part, no. Not unless you're going to or from a workout or running, etc. or you're going to be outside most of the day on a hot day. Have some dignity and put on a pair of pants. I see a grown man unecessarily wearing shorts and I figure he's still jazzed that can eat cookies for dinner, too.

I think it's OK in the summer if you don't leave your immediate premises. Like at a BBQ at your place or in your neighborhood. Beyond that, go with pants.

So wear some nice pants.

Yeah, a couple feet of fabric covering your shins is going to make all the difference as to whether or not you're hot or comfortable.

I swear, soon those be-shorted savages will be wearing belly shirts, too. Burkas are used backwards: men are fucking disgusting and as much of them should be covered at all times.

[JimBeam]

... be-shorted savages ...

While I disagree w/ the sentiment I laughed out loud at that phrase.

Did anybody feel that the awkwardness/tension in this weeks episode seemed forced ?

Larry interrupting the singing ?

Larry going up to them at dinner and then making up his excuse as to why he didn't like singing ?

His ex giving her b/f Larry's phine# and address ?

Him running from his own house, w/ doors that can belooked, to go running around the neighborhood ?

I thought it was very lame and while I did laugh at a few parts I thought it was one of the worst episodes.

But I will agree w/ Larry that Sammy's singing was awful.

How could anybody consider that a gift even if she was a good singer ?

It absolutely makes a huge difference. Just like 3 inches of collar and a tie feels drastically different than a polo shirt with the top button open, which feels drastically different than a tshirt.

Pants aren't cool at all, thats just nonsense. When I get home from work in the summer I dont just lounge around in my dockers all night.

I am pretty sure this show already started( as I am sure you realized by now). This has basically a Seinfeld reunion which in my opinion is amazing. I am considering buying HBO just to catch the Seinfeld epsiodes because I am that big of a Seinfeld fan.

[TheMojoPin]

A buttoned collar and a tie don't feel like the lower half of a pair of pants unless you're wearing skintight emo-boy pants. Is that what you're doing, emo-boy?!?

I dunno, when it's hot it's all about the upper part being cool. A t-shirt and jeans or pants is basically the same for me in the summer as a t-shirt and shorts.

Pants aren't cool at all, thats just nonsense. When I get home from work in the summer I dont just lounge around in my dockers all night.

Of course people wear shorts around the house. I'm saying if you're having people over or you're going out or to someone else's place you gotta put on some motherfucking pants.

I kinda feel the same way.

Sure there are some funny scenes now and again but the normal awkwardness that makes the show so relevant seems so much more forced this season.

Especially in the last 2 episodes ( completely in the previous one ).

Why would the ex-g/f give Larry's address to her b/f ?

Why would Larry leave his house, with locked doors, to run to other people's houses ?

And while Larry was totally right in the fact that Sammy's singing was awful it was dumb that he embarassed her like that.

I'm hoping the Seinfeld actors will help make this season better.

[Judge Smails]

I think I'm punching out on this show. There was too much unbelievable bullshit here to even begin to complain about.

For everyone who says that the term "Jumped The Shark" is played out - I submit to you a new term: "The napkins were stollen".

This Los Angeles must be some magical Shangri-La if the police have nothing better to do than chase down and arrest people who take more than two napkins from a pizza place.

Honestly, for me this was probably the best episode of Curb in a long while. I was hysterical with laughter at at least 4 points, and I usually barely smirk at comedy shows.

Yes. I laughed also. But they were funny in a Police Squad! or Airplane funny. The show always pushed the envelope but now everything is way over the top.

I find it funny that in the season opener Jason Alexander said that "this could make up for the finale" of Seinfeld. LD is going down the exact same path - like being arrested and convicted for not stopping a mugging and making fun of John Pinnette's weight. Maybe that's the point JD is trying to make.

[hammersavage]

Not a great episode. Like everyone said, just a little too over the top. But grabbing onto the fat was hilarious.

[metaregina]

Loved the most recent episode. The suicidal lady was brilliant. The look on her face when she first saw Larry and dropped the bags was fantastical. She just had the most hilarious facial expressions.I also really liked the bare midriff girl. Hope to see them both in future episodes. I also loved whatever Richard Lewis said to Larry when he saw the older woman in the car, can't remember exactly what it was but it was just so great. Just a great, great episode.

And guess what, Bill Donohue's all pissed off about the plotline about the picture of Jesus being pissed on.

. In a statement, titled “Urinating on Jesus,” Donohue says, “At one point in the show, David goes to the bathroom in a Catholic home and splatters urine on a picture of Jesus; he doesn’t clean it off. Then a Catholic woman goes to the bathroom, sees the picture and concludes that Jesus is crying. She then summons her equally stupid mother and the two of them fall to their knees in prayer. When David and Jerry Seinfeld (playing himself) are asked if they ever experienced a miracle, David answers, ‘every erection is a miracle.’ That’s what passes for creativity these days. Was Larry David always this crude? Would he think it comedic if someone urinated on a picture of his mother?”

Seriously, Bill, go fuck yourself.

You'd think that's what he did based on the reaction. It's so obvious that most of the people complaining never watched the show because they talk about like he was gleefully pissing all over a picture of Jesus. The whole thing was staged and written like the character had done a horrible thing just by accidentally splashing a drop of pee on the painting.

Hottub banned me today for posting a (flattering and i think thats important) pic of Jay Mohr's wife.

Outrage grants ill-controlled power.

People would rather react than act

I wish Larry David would pee on Hottub.

I wish Larry David would pee on Hottub.

Thats what I've been thinking!

After tonight I wouldnt mind seeing him get the Richard Lewis treatment.

And I'd get a signed bat!

[ozzie]

It's Larry David's right to be as "outrageous" as he wants to be.

It's someone's right to be offended, and say so, if he does push their buttons.

That's all I'm saying.

I can't believe people are shocked that a Christian would find that episode to be in poor taste.

Who is shocked?

Who is saying people can't be offended?

Someone pee on this redundant fool.

I would love to know how many of the "outraged" actually saw the episode, or even understood the context... and how many just read a FoxNews story that said that Larry David pissed on a picture of Jesus Christ on his show.

Has this been brought up on R&F yet?

Yes...today, in fact.

Ron said he was a little offended even though he hasn't been a practicing Catholic for many years, and was surprised that Larry David went for such "low hanging fruit."

I couldn't agree more.

[PD]

was surprised that Larry David went for such "low hanging fruit."

.
this is where I disagree; he has often gone for those jokes.

MojoPin linked an article where he did that to Jews, and that is just one example of Larry David going for the absurd.

[TheMojoPin]

Plus it's only "low-hanging" if people think the joke was "DAT GUY PISSED ON DA PAINTING OF JEEBUS."

[ozzie]

Thanks. I'm an audible listener, so I guess I'll get to hear his side tonight or tomorrow.

Just curious if they got into any comparisons to the Imus incident, because that seemed to be where the FoxNews viewers/readers wanted this to go.

I've got no problem if Ron, or any other CYE viewer took offense to the scene, and would completely understand if CYE ratings drop as a result.

My problem is with those who only hear or read that "LD pissed on a picture of Jesus Christ", and starts campaigning against a show or network and soliciting other "like minded people" into boycotting sponsors (or in this case, cancelling HBO subscriptions) and campaigning to get a show cancelled that most probably don't watch anyway.

Those that were not offended or "outraged" should still have the freedom and the choice to continue to watch the show as long as HBO continues to air the episodes.

Let the ratings determine whether a show should air, and not pressure from "the moral majority" or other "outraged" organizations.

Where was the outrage for the "Christ Nail" episode... or LD eating the baby Jesus cookie... or fighting with the Nativity scene actors... or ..."beloved cunt"?

His interaction with our confusing, yet obviously intriguing, "Gentile" world is a recurring theme.

oh god Ron's going biblical on our asses

[GregoryJoseph]

I thought he was talking about Fez...

[Don Stugots]

i dont see a problem with the splashing of pee. what is more offending is Jerry Seinfeld's lack of trying to pull off playing himself.

[ozzie]

Here's something we can all be offended over together:

Wow, when did this come out... and more importantly, how the hell have I never seen this before???

Did they really "sample" Blondie's "Rapture"?

~~~!

[paulisded]

One thing that has not been noted in all of the press coverage of this non-controversy is that there are always repercussions of his actions. In every episode he offends somebody and it ends up creating problems for him. Except, of course, for the season finale, where everything (restaurant, Broadway play, the Blacks, etc.) ends up working out for him.

the recurring theme is there are no sacred cows

(cue Hindu outrage)

Imagine if someone pissed on a picture of Mohammed?

Suicide bombers would be lining up to head to Hollywood.

Don't be too upset about a Christian getting angry seeing his religious icon desecrated.

...very valid point, and most frustrating. I don't think the desicraition was the intended focal point. However , one cartoon of mohamed and the city is on fire.

Don't use one awful religion to justify the actions of another awful religion.

How very judgmental of you.

I bet that's what you hate about religious people...

I don't really hate religious people.

Mother of Larry, an asshole and a swan killer.

Derek Jeter is over rated.

Derek Jeter is over rated.

I would have flipped my shit too, fuck that silly Mason for being so misguided

[paulisded]

Watching it right now, and it's really a back to basics episode...loving it.

add retard to that grave stone. All Larry has to do is put his cell on vibrate. Simply solution.

[Willmore]

By that logic, he didn't have to pay a prostitute to sit in his car, so he can use the carpool lane. It's Larry fucking David.

[GregoryJoseph]

The show has been a lot less funny this season.

It's becoming a bit predictable, even hack.

[TheGameHHH]

I'm Larry David and I happen to enjoy wearing womens panties

[TroutSkin]

Jeff wasn't in a car accident.

[Enabler]

Anybody else catch Ben Affleck in the very beginning of the episode? Walking out of the Banana Republic behind Larry. I thought for sure they would come back to it. Like maybe Affleck stole Larry's pants.

[KnoxHarrington]

How much do you think that one kid loved yelling "Bald asshole!" at Larry?
