"Beloved Aunt" is definitely the best episode of the first season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Very well written and hysterical dialouge make this episode a delight from start to finish. The typo in the obituary was something I did not see coming and it was rip roaring hysterical. "Beloved Aunt" is just a great episode of a great show.

If you are showing an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm to someone for the first time, this would be the one i choose. The devoted sister beloved c*nt line had me screaming with laughter for so long i had to pause the episode on dvd and control myself before i missed too much more.

If anything this episode needs watching just for that.

Larry's incompetence with gifts and gift wrapping is also hilarity. It would fit in a seinfeld episode easily.moreless
