Larry felt a personal obligation to help someone he wronged, why is this hard to understand?

Larry would also expect and demand that treatment if someone spilled on himself. Doing this in the extreme to a terrible person allows him to point to this later when someone wrongs him.

Suzie agreed to do it so that she could sabotage it. Larry did it because taking social obligations to an extreme end is his whole deal. Larry even kind of realizes that he's being stupid at the cleaners when the guy calls him out about why he's so afraid of pissing off the "nice" klansman.

Brilliant. This part killed me, too. Not just that he was eating, but how he was doing it with the cheesy pasta up high.

How many episodes of Curb/Seinfeld have revolved around lost/forgotten/borrowed items of clothing?

Freddy asking for Larry to give up his favorite shirt as penance made me laugh out loud. Was a bit disappointed Larry's favorite shirt survived through the end of the episode without being similarly ruined.

mobby_6kl posted:I don't mean this as nitpicking but imo the jokes don't work when it's not just unrelatable but also don't match the established characters or even internal logic. Larry is often illogical and obsessive about weird stuff. He's a loving weirdo. I think it helps if you know somebody like him in real life. Most people just aren't consistent, especially people who are well known weirdos.

I like the season so far, but if feels like every episode has stuff recycled from past seasons. Larry trying to force a studio to cast Cheryl on the Seinfeld reunion, the Japanese chefs calling him Chicken Teriyaki Boy, he and Ted Danson fighting over shirts, someone announcing to everyone at an anniversary that LD isn't there. Jeff even said a line from Seinfeld.

Loved seeing Larry eat poo poo this episode after the last one where he bent over backwards to help the bigot, but his friend he's like bare minimum effort. I was with him for the heart-attack and funeral. Funerals suck so can't fault anyone for not going, I didn't wanna go to any funeral I've been at and wish I'd rather not. And yeah, tf you supposed to do when someone's having a heart attack, paramedics already on way? Also just golden rule, if I had a heart attack I wouldn't want everyone to stop and gawk at me in an embarrassing moment of failure.

While it wasn’t a funeral, I have turned around and not gone to events because gently caress LA traffic and getting over the hill. My husband mentioned again that I am Larry David and it worries him.

I think with the bigot he's initially willing to put in the same level of effort (take it to the dry cleaners vs calling the company that makes the shirt to try and get a replacement) but when that doesn't fix the issue he's willing to just shrug and say he tried, it's just that he's scared of the bigot so he ultimately can't bail on the effort the same way he does to Freddie

Jeff even said a line from Seinfeld. Curb steals from itself a lot, but I think that's part of the charm. It's the same set of awful people with the same dumb problems forever. It's probably the most predictable show on the air and that doesn't impact its quality at all.

I'm going to go ahead and guess that Young Larry doesn't happen because old Larry takes some principled but stupid stand on something, resulting in the show getting shut down.

I think that was the worst episode in a while, though I did like the argument with Seth Rogen.

Probably the weakest episode of the season imo, was disappointed when the theme kicked in at the end and nothing had really been tied together

I liked the quaint feel, no huge plot just Larry being a prick vs a bunch of mild inconveniences. Felt like an older season besides the guy falling through the roof. I didn't care for the phone support call either. Pimento, the same poo poo that comes out of a lady after she have a baby. There’s no point in showing me tiles, I have no interest in tiles.

The thing that's bugging me more about this season (and later seasons in general) than older ones is that Larry is very obviously in the wrong much more often than in the past.

I think my favorite ones are the ones where Larry is technically in the right but it's ultimately such a minor slight or transgression that it's not worth dying on that hill and/or he's such an rear end in a top hat about being right that he's still completely unsympathetic. They're all pretty funny though.

I tend to believe Larry is fully right about half the time, "he's right but he shouldn't say it" about 25% and totally wrong about 25%, but now it feels reversed.

The reaction shots of Leon and Larry hearing the roof creaking and Freddy telling Larry not to take the Perrier, "that's an act of water" were the highlights of the episode for me Didn't really care for the tiny chauffeur angle or the call support gag Disappointed Seth Rogen's part didn't amount to more and left me lukewarm

mobby_6kl posted:Haven't seen the latest one yet but I have to agree about the Klansman issue. Larry's behavior just doesn't seem to be justified within the show. Didn't he get mad at someone for wearing a maga hat last season? And now KKK is cool? It could've made sense if Larry hadn't realized who he was because of his messed up eyes, and then was terrified that he had to keep his promise. But nope he seemed to be aware the whole time. No idea why Susie would do it either. A favor doesn't mean having to do literally anything. I get what you are saying.....but in the Larry David world.....irrational behavior is commonplace.
