HBO: Curb Your Enthusiasm

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Jonah Hill and Sean Penn were great in this episode

That about says it all, their scenes were before the opening theme. Thought it was a bit of a weak finale.

Yeah, the payoff of the season-long stories seemed to just kinda conclude without much effect

Latte Larry's and Mocha Joe's burn down and then Mocha Joe moves in next door to Larry's house. I'd say that ties things up pretty neatly.

All done in by a Funkhauser's huge penis.

The biracial baby storyline felt shoehorned in

the moment they walked into the house you knew exactly how that was going to go down.

loved the episode, favorite part was larry in the daybed

[daft twat]

Season 10 in the discussion for best ever overall, but the finale was weak. No Richard Lewis? Gtfo!

"Horsecock Wingams"

Once again, Leon has the best line in the episode.

[evenslow]

"a little light for a kwame."

[evenslow]

"I knew that big penis was nothing but trouble."

[wease]

I didn't realize that was Chaz Bono playing Funkhouser.

So I thought they were going to address Dave Osborne’s death via Marty Funkhausee? Did I miss something?

oh yeah you're right, they did say in the Hollywood Reporter (or maybe Variety?) that this would be addressed. There was like a casual mention of him being in China maybe? But I don't think anything beyond that.

Yeah, that was all I noticed.

A Ringer writer's four year old loves "Larry":

But in hindsight, it makes sense that Curb Your Enthusiasm might appeal to the preschool demographic, even if I could definitely do a better job with some of my prescreening. The music is chipper and vivid. Larry David, with his glasses and his curly-white-haired semi-baldness, strikes a visually compelling figure; his face is as expressive as any dedicated children’s performer. When he’s happy, he is nodding and cackling and pointing; when he’s skeptical, his eyes narrow to comical slits as evocative Wild West music plays. Sometimes he is being chased, with that high-kneed gait of his, and always, reliably, he is being yelled at. The level of repetition of the word “Larry” over and over would make a Sesame Street producer proud.

Top man Larry David.

[evenslow]

Protect him at all costs.

[oneway23]

National treasure, that Larry David, and absolutely phenomenal season, but weaksauce finale....pretentious celeb cameos, very little of main cast, no Lewis...absolute letdown after the all-time status of the past few weeks.
