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.

Tappin' hours

[Revelator]

Richard Lewis is looking awful.

Yeah that is unfortunate

[Jorge]

I wonder if they will address Funkhauser at all. Probably not, right?

They really should.

[Biff Pocoroba]

I didn't watch it live but have it on dvr for tonight. I'm encouraged by all your enthusiasm.
I would think they would address Bob Einstein's passing before the end of the season but I could be wrong.

Leon owned that episode.

If we can get rid of these fucking patients, I'm gonna watch this shortly.

he said in an interview they do mention him this season

these both are great, not sure if either were posted here i forget

this was done in the morning (can't get youtube link to work)

https://youtu.be/y8kRxhS_-nU

looks like the evening 92Y interview was taken off youtube, unfortunately. but it was great. was just larry being interviewed by michael kay.

[wease]

think the #MeToo thing will turn into a season-long arc?

Yes. With it not having any kind of resolution in the episode, I definitely think so.

Great episode. Probably better than the whole last season. The whole thing with the MAGA hat was brilliant.

Lewis looks terrible. Did any of you see his hands? They're all mangled up from arthritis. As my dad keeps reminding me, it sucks to get old.

I actually hope Cheryl gets back together with Larry. That talcum powder bit was hilarious.

Leon owned that episode.

Yeah. A fantastic Leon episode.

"Larry may be one or two of those things, but he's definitely not all three."

[doug rr]

yeah, good stuff
fun fact: my wife and i eat lunch a lot at the place he wore his maga hat..cafe lunetta in santa monica..it near my wife's office

Leon owned that episode.

Yeah. A fantastic Leon episode.

"Larry may be one or two of those things, but he's definitely not all three."

"You sell danishes?"
"No"
"You're fuckin' up."

From The Ringer:

Shooting began for Season 10 of Curb in late 2018. By that point, Einstein was extremely sick and reportedly unable to film. While few details about this season have emerged beyond the trailer, it seems as though Einstein won’t appear in any episodes. That means it’s more than likely that Marty’s last words to Larry were “What are you, a fucking lunatic?” in the Season 9 finale. Feels appropriate.

Let's talk about the seeming randomness of a cameo from the star of Somebody Feed Phil.

Leon owned that episode.

Yeah. A fantastic Leon episode.

"Larry may be one or two of those things, but he's definitely not all three."

"You sell danishes?"
"No"
"You're fuckin' up."

I was crying, I laughed so hard at that.

Classic episode. Good start to the season.

They will address Funkhauser, according to this interview:

How will you address the passing of longtime co-star Bob Einstein (who played Marty Funkhouser)?

The passing of Bob will definitely be addressed. It was a real shock to us. We were obviously all so sad to lose one of the funniest human beings on the planet. We thought that there was actually a chance that we were going to get him back. He had been on the upswing and we thought we were going to get him back after Christmas, but obviously that didn’t happen. We had saved a lot of scenes because we wanted him in the show as much as possible. We had written stories specifically for him and then we had a lot of sad narrative gymnastics to re-figure out a few things on the fly. It was doing a thing you didn’t want to do for a terrible reason. But he’s definitely addressed and certainly missed.

Man, I hope they have a funeral for him.
