    Hilarious episode. hide show

    One of the best installments of Curb Your Enthusiasm's 4th season. So many classic moments and sub-plots from urinating sitting down to the golf tip, which would appear in future episodes.

    I think the main reason this episode worked is because it focused on Larry battling an arrogant guest star in the weatherman. Whenever Larry has a problem with somebody whether it's Jason Alexander, Ben Stiller or Ted Danson, the scenes are nothing short of hilarious. Curb is all about awkward, car wreck-like scenes and this episode was full of them down to the signature angry mob shouting at Larry when he refused to stand up because of his back.

    Plus, a Stu Braudy appearance at the end. Funny, funny stuff.

    In this episode Larry and Jeff want to go golfing but the weatherman says that it is going to rain. So they cancel their game. When Larry gets up in the morning he sees no rain and comes to the conclusion that the weatherman is a liar. hide show

    I think that this episode was really funny. First, Larry wants to go play golf with Jeff but the weatherman says that it's going to rain. So they both cancel their game. Then Larry wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom and falls in the toilet because Sheryl had left the seat up. When Larry wakes up in the morning, he sees that its a beautiful day outside. He comes up with the idea that the weatherman lies about the weather to have the golf course all to himself. So then he goes and makes fun of the weatherman and criticizes his job. It is one of the funniest episodes.
