He looked so young in the earlier seasons. Still was an old(ish) bald gently caress of course, but some of the flashbacks gave me whiplash from doing double-takes. https://i.imgur.com/ZJDmfFx.mp4

Really enjoyed that. Biggest laugh was aunty Rae saying the fake name wrong every time she said it. and Larry asking Lewis if he was going to adopt a 40 year-old. Nice to get some Larry and Jerry banter too.

Either everyone is overanalyzing or I am underanalyzing, but the title of the episode is literally "No Lesson Learned" and I thought it was not just about Larry in the show but also the real Larry. People were very mixed on the end of Seinfeld, as you all know, and I think this was him just toying with the audience. I thought it was actually great to be doing basically the same thing just to thumb his nose at us while having his own personal good time. What a ride no matter how you interpret the last episode!

Could've done without Larry exclaiming "we should've ended the finale like this" or whatever, it was obvious and better without it. Also, wasting time in the finale on the Lewis girlfriend plotline that didn't go anywhere stands out in this season full of wasted plot lines. I did enjoy the callback to the first joke in the show, just like in the Seinfeld prison scene. kiminewt fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Apr 8, 2024 |

Yeah pretty sure "I never learn my lesson" is explicitly lampshaded by the fact that he was redoing the same plot as the Seinfeld finale. This one was better I think, still kinda weird because they did this same thing during the Fatwa arc, except the twist is they always take Larry's side. I thought that was clever. Oh well. I'll miss this show.

Mocha Joe looked and acted eerily like a young Robert deNiro. I mean, just slap a mole on the jaw and Scorcese could have saved a ton on the de-aging special FX for "The Irishman"

Big Curb fan but this season sucked imo. A few good laughs here and there amongst the yelling, but overall it felt like a caricature of itself.

He was great from the beginning. He was able to spend his remaining time with people he loved and doing what he loved. We should all that lucky.

Henchman of Santa posted:He could just be hospitalized! Shot in the kidney. "Lewis needs a kidney" is from 2005. Cheryl Hines did such a good job of being the unlikeable and accusatory "voice of reason" over the last couple of seasons, that when she got up to say something, I immediately thought "Oh, just sit down and shut up, Cheryl. Don't make this about you!" Well, finding out a while back she's married to RFK jr. didn't help, but it was the Cheryl character, mostly. mcbexx fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Apr 8, 2024 |

Fast Luck posted:lol that would be the one way to make the ending as hated as the seinfeld ending just having him literally get murdered by lewis's ex, stakes totally out of balance with anything else that's ever happened on here I'm starting to wonder if that was the plan for if he was 100% sure that he never wanted to do any more, then he changed his mind. Would have been a crazy way to close it.

I was really expecting the Leon subplot to factor more into it. All season they've been hinting at the Seinfeld finale, then Leon (who never actually watched the show) decides to start watching it for the first time, so I thought where it was leading was that he was going to come up with a way out of the situation that the Seinfeld writers couldn't come up with. something perhaps to do with the fact that he was a mid-series addition. instead it just winds up being a joke about how many women Jerry gets with in the show. not exactly a new observation. idk the whole season's felt disjointed in that way. as though most of the episodes were just rewritten and reshot at some point.

grahm posted:Big Curb fan but this season sucked imo. A few good laughs here and there amongst the yelling, but overall it felt like a caricature of itself. I mean, the last few seasons have definitely been the weakest of the whole lot. It's such a strong show though that even a 'mediocre' season of curb still has high-highs that are hilarious and put it above most comedy shows. This season was no different. There were a few very funny episodes (I think 2, 3, and the finale were the strongest 3) and at least one great scene or big payoff in every episode.

Just Larry looking up and it cuts to black LMAO Actually some sort of race to mention as many bad/cliche TV show endings as possible would have been great Larry, the last one to leave the courthouse, lingers in the doorframe and takes one more longing look before slowly turning around and leaving. But suddenly he finds himself in a church, and all his friends are there! Cut to him waking up in bed in a cold sweat, with Cheryl assuring him he just had a bad dream. The camera zooms out to reveal they've been in a snowglobe the entire time. The child admiring the snow globe suddenly looks up and sees a giant meteor about to hit the earth

The first episode I watched was the final episode of the Producers season, the one with the Jerry in the crowd GIF and Stephen Colbert. What a great show. I don't care that this season wasn't one of the better ones, I still loved watching it. RIP Richard Lewis.

fwiw I liked season 10 (the mocha joe season) but 11 and 12 largely stunk. there are intermittent high points but what larry wants to gripe about is so tersely strung together and dated that it detracts from the riffing you mention (which definitely was also prevalent prior to these past seasons, so having more room for it just highlights how lacking the overall plot is). examples off the top of my head, there was an extended siri riff, the wordle spoiler argument, jeff referencing the will smith slap, and the rudy hair dye if comedians had more room to riff with larry then it’s a shame that ike barinholtz, conan, matt berry, bill hader in season 11, et al’s parts were underwhelming and underdeveloped not to say that curb is awful. concepts like dream scheming and the gettysburg piss are funny. its that there isn’t as much connective tissue between scenes in contrast to prior seasons. even after larry trips on a long coat and pisses himself at ted danson’s play he’s driving home with unsoiled pants immediately afterward my takeaway from this season is that larry really hates cleaning staff he perceives as lazy

I thought S9 and S10 were as good as the earlier seasons though

Larry clearly having MSNBC blasting in his house 24/7 since the election definitely means the last two seasons won't have the timeless quality of the other ten.
