I think it’s often laugh out loud funny. The chemistry among the cast is so good. It just makes me happy.

Loved Leon’s conversation with Jerry. Cracked me up.

Excellent ending.

I’d try for Chicago if I didn’t think the audience wouldn’t feel entitled and think the dumb shit they yell is part of the show.

The Benadryl Brownie is such a good ep

Larry: Scrabble?
Jeff: I'd love to play Scrabble.
Larry: I said it and I kinda got in the mood.
Jeff: Let's get it.
Larry: Really? You wanna play?
Jeff: I'm all over it, let's go.
Larry: Absolutely! Okay!
Larry to Cheryl: You don't need to play - it's better with two.
Jeff to Cheryl: Do you have any milk?
Cheryl: ...

The penultimate scene where
Spoiler: show
Jerry rescues Larry from prison, should have been Jeff and not Jerry. Curb was about Larry and Jeff, not Larry and Jerry.

It was a commentary on how they should’ve ended Seinfeld, though

I know and the finale was about Larry saying he’s learned nothing and him playing up the idea that he’s too stubborn to change his ways. Both endings were bad compared to what came before them in each series. Larry and Jeff at least would have made more sense for Curb.
