Your Favorite Line From a Curb Your Enthusiasm Show

That's one where just reading the description of the show had me in tears. Brilliant

 

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

Great thing about that line was that unlike all the other cursing, it was intended to offend and not part of the cook's tourettes gag. Love that Susie Green, calling Jeff a F/F.

 

The whole Krazee Eyes Killah rap at the beginning of that episode. Then he takes his shades off and I fall off my chair! "Larry, your a writer, ..... Check out what I wrote" Larry : I would take out the MF and replace it with b***h, Watched it last night.

 

"Do you know what you are? You're a self-loathing Jew!"
"I might hate myself, but it has nothing to do with being Jewish."

"I'll have the fish FRENZY." - Louis Nye

Leon's perverse idea that Parkinson's Disease might make you a better fighter - "That shaking might come in handy."

The stop-and-chat, and the chat-and-cut

And my favorite, "Someone get a sponge!" "Why don't YOU get a sponge?" I have used this story with two classes of undergraduate students who were student teaching in groups of four, to reinforce the notion that when you see something that needs doing, DO IT, don't tell the world that it needs doing (they probably already know). Some of my students started writing "Be The Sponge!" on the top of their assignments. Larry's wisdom is universal.

 

I'm sure it was inadvertent, but that's almost a dead lift from Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry.

@1:14

 

Great catch. I love that film - interesting that that never occurred to me. Here's the "Curb" clip (I didn't get the quote exactly right).

Another Woody "reference" here, as Alvy Singer complains about Wagner ("Wagner, Max!") in "Annie Hall".

 

"I **** where I ate, and now I will eat where I ****."

 

Susie to Jeff: "You fat four-eyed ****!"

When Cheryl's parents baked the nativity cookies, they got mad when Larry ate them, including the baby Jesus. Larry replied: "I thought it was a monkey!"

 

You're NOT an orphan!

 

The scene where Larry has Cheryl's car washed by the group of mentally challenged folks is pretty pretty pretty good.

 

Don't know the exact line, but when Ted Danson tells Larry to take his freak book and get outta here!

Yes, I'm a fan of the show.

 

Larry gives some chronic from Monena to his dad for the father's glaucoma. Later, the father sees Monena, and says: Oh my god. It's a hooker.

 

"She told me not to bother you"

Larry's Father's response as to why he didn't contact him to tell him his Mother had died.

 

"It's the shizmit!"

 

"I thought she was acting strangely" after Suzie rips Larry a new one for getting (accidentally) her 12(?) yr old daughter drunk.
Truly one of the great comedies ever.

"Is that the good Parkinsons or the bad?"

"Your last name is Black? That's would be like my last name being Jew."

 

I think you mean Hodgkin's.

 

You are correct sir! I knew Parkinsons wasn't right (but knew it was some bad disease).

 

"I thought he had the 'good' Hodgkins".

 

Damn, I miss this show. Howard Stern had J.B. Smoove on a year or so ago and asked him whether Larry would do any more shows, and JB said that he chides Larry all the time about it and desperately wishes they'd continue it for at least another year or so. Apparently, everybody associated with the show -- particularly HBO -- wishes Larry would do more shows except Larry.

David came on some months later and said that he was kind of burned out on the show, had (somewhat) run out of ideas, and wanted to pursue new things... like the Tony-nominated play he just finished on Broadway. Larry also said that he was kind of shocked by the hostility on the final episode of Seinfeld, and said whatever he did, there would never be a final episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm that wrapped up the series. He also admitted that he had enough money that he never needed to work again, but insisted that all the published estimates (like the widely-circulated "$400 million") were way, way too high. (A close friend of mine with Sony Pictures TV told me the President of the studio gave him that exact amount for both David and Seinfeld.)

 

Wow, Larry on Stern? I gotta see that!

"Are you ****ing nuts?"
