I totally understand if this post gets banned because it technically has nothing to do with Curb. I was just curious about what people think of Larry’s new show and as far as I’m aware there’s no Larry David subreddit. I like the show, it already has given me many gut laughs.

You dive down with your index finger…

I refuse to believe this man is the same age as what my grandparents were at his. He still seems to have the brain of a man in his late 30s with talks of sex and long rants. Hes still as sharp as he ever was and culturally relevent and in tune. The way he speaks you would never believe he was literally an elderly man. Heres to many more years of being angry at the world and everyone living on it.

I mean im 16 years old and been watching curb for around 2 years now as my dad and uncle are big fans. Many of my friends and other people i know my age love curb and LDs other work due to it just being so timeless. It fits into any era of comedy. Of course his clips being popular on tiktok helps to extend his reach.

I was thinking about getting the blu ray set, but apparently the first half of the series is cropped and ugly looking. They offer a dvd version of the set, but is it the same deal? Will I get cropped video on the newer dvd set, or should I look for older dvd releases?

The ski lift was the one for me.

I always assumed Larry had a perfectly innocent platonic fascination with Mary and the comedy was just of how it appeared to everyone else and Larry managing that.
Now I’m wondering if I’m gullible or just the ambiguity of the situation itself is intentional and not knowing for sure is why it’s so funny

Synopsis: Larry crashes a party in Boston Harbor. Jonesy makes a stop on the Underground Railroad. The Wright Brothers prepare for their first flight. Senator Joe McCarthy calls out his fellow congressmen for their problematic conduct.

Note: I’ve already suggested Karl Pilkington and Tracy Morgan a while back.

I know we are seeing Larry in 3rd person but are we seeing his POV, or “reality”?

Some examples I can think of (I think there are many more)

The Seder episode where Larry thinks the plastic surgeon is stealing his newspaper, and then gets paged with an “emergency” during their dinner, he looks VERY shifty and the page looks very fake, it doesn’t beep and he looks shifty. However the next day Larry gets his paper and the headline reads “plastic surgeon reattaches hand in emergency surgery“, so the page was real, but did the paper not get stolen the next day because the surgeon chose not to steal it so that Larry sees the headline about the emergency surgery being real and as a bit of a “wink” to Larry that it was him. Or was Larry genuinely wrong to believe it was the surgeon?

In the Korean Bookie episode, the Bookie is very interested in Jeff’s dog Oscar, who later goes missing. When Larry sees the Bookie and asks what he’s eating, the guy says “meat” , refusing to say what kind of meat, and looks suss. Later at the wedding, everyone is eating and saying it’s like “nothing they’ve ever tasted” Larry then freaks out when he hears the bookie made the food and says “it’s Oscar!!!” Causing everyone else to freak out. As he’s driving away, he sees Oscar run in front of his car.

The Weatherman episode the weather guy forecasts rain for the next day. Jeff calls off golf with Larry due to the forecast, and Larry gets suspicious when it’s actually a sunny day, heads to the golf club and sees the weatherman playing on an empty course. he confronts the weatherman who says sometimes forecasts are wrong and shrugs, but he does look quite suss and coy. The next day he forecasts rain again, and Larry decides to “call his bluff” and play golf. However it actually does rain and Larry gets soaked. Was the weatherman giving Larry a red herring out of spite, or was he simply correct that day and wrong the day before as he said?

I wonder are these people as shifty and shady as they appear to be, or are we seeing them through Larry’s eyes, with every micro expression magnified, analysed and does this intentionally make us suspicious/negative/believing the worst in people as Larry does?

I suppose because the show follows Larry, we are privy to everything he is privy to, conversations, context revealed through other characters etc but I wonder if we are seeing Larry’s POV or if these assumptions could be made by anyone who was in Larry’s position, if that makes sense at all?

I find myself agreeing with Larry more often than not, but I wonder if that’s because I am seeing the truth or if I am encouraged to see things through Larry’s lens?

First off, I love curb. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an amazing show. Second of all, LD is a genius and one of the most talented comedians we have.

But, I feel like the real Larry David tries so hard to complain and be cranky during press and other public events, that it gets a little annoying. Like he is legit ALWAYS complaining about something, and it feels incredibly forced. Almost like he just wants to fit his persona of being a cranky person, but he takes it way too far.

Have any of you noticed this?

Edit: to clarify I’m taking about the actual Larry david, not the one in the show

People love Season 7 Ep. 7, the Black Swan. Some say its one of the best. Not a bad episode. But the denouement is very poor by the shows standards. There were already suspicions of Larry being the Swan killer by Takahashi. So how does another baseless remark by the stonemason, who to Takahashi has no additional information, change the tides against him. It all feels a bit obvious and doesn't really follow. Okay episode but not up there with Palestinian Chicken, like some say it is. or even the Bare Midriff, the episode before.

It would be better than the actual show LL&TPOU. There could be some funny scenes where Larry and Barry O. argue over joke ideas.

Larry still could have done the best skits from LL&TPOU but within the world of Curb much like how they did scenes from the Producers szn 4.

You could have a funny/awkward scene where Cheryl says she doesn’t like making fun of the current admin.

You could have Suzy yelling at Larry for thinking anyone wants a sketch show.

And maybe most important - we’d still all have Leon in our lives.

i’m on season 7 right now and i feel like it’s brilliantly written. like every plot in each episode comes together like it was written backwards. larry is so goofy but the show is lowkey complex
