One of the funniest episodes of Curb!

10

By TallCrowe, Jan 16, 2013

This was a brilliant episode. The subject in question - related to you in the episode title - causes grief, relief, and hilarity for Larry and his circle of friends, and even for some strangers. We even get a return character from Season 1 as part of the arc of the story. The scene in Dr. Karen Trundle's office is one of the funniest Larry David moments ever. Larry's just completely over the top, and it's hilarious to see. I love how the title of this episode plays out in different and interesting ways, resulting in various and always-funny outcomes. A truly fine example of Larry David's and the entire cast's brilliance and talents.moreless

Another fun episode.

Another strong episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm tonight. One thing instantly apparent was how unique the opening scene was in relation to the previous 61 episodes of this series. Never before would they have Larry chopping at a box for a good 75 seconds, but this just shows how Curb is venturing out and incorporating more physical comedy into its improvised world.

The awkwardness was there, but I hope you put the children to sleep before this as the content was very mature, even by HBO standards. With people freaking out over an f-bomb on SNL, you heard about 30 tonight on Curb Your Enthusiasm and a certain inappropriate act mentioned about 12 times as well.

While that "raunchy" humor may have been the selling point for some fans, I really enjoyed how all the storylines came together. Larry could not open the seal in the beginning, and in the end, after buying something to open seals, couldn't get that seal open. That's good writing.moreless

This episode has one of the best opening scenes in the show's history. I could not stop laughing as Larry flew into a rage trying to open the plastic packaging. The laughs don't stop there. From the brilliant dialogue to the hysterical restaurant scene, the viewer will be laughing all the way to the end. Larry and Jeff always have great one on one dialogues. This episode is no exception. Their discussion in the restaurant is brilliant. Everything works in this episode. Even the title is hysterical! The seventh season has gotten off to a great start. An excellent episode.moreless

At a dinner, Larry offends yet another of Richard Lewis' girlfriends, this time after finding out she blew Richard in the car on the ride over. Larry hopes to get a doctor to recommend to Loretta that she break up with him. This was really funny, the whole episode had me in stitches right from the off with Larry's struggle to open a case (those things are annoying), then the whole take a sip scene after that I knew that this episode was going to be one of the best and we were only halfway through. Larry getting beat up by the Doctor was unexpected and well FUNNY and the blacks driving off in the car but Leon staying. the whole eisode made me cry of laughter and I was glad to see Leon stick around.moreless

Compared to Funkhouser's Crazy Sister, this episode was excellent. The episode starts off with Larry fighting to open up a vacuum sealed package and somehow works its way into Larry figuring out a way to break up with Loretta without hurting her feelings. And the way they get to that moment? Through a series of events that represents one of the best Curb scripts in years.

It all starts when Jeff tells Larry that Richard got.. well, look at the episode name and you'll know what he got. This leads to a dinner where Larry repeatedly snubs Richard's girlfriend since he doesn't want to kiss the same mouth that she just.. umm, view episode name again..

This episode combined some hilarious vignettes involving people mistakingly believing other people were giving vehicular fellatio. At the same time, we get to see multiple storylines tied up, all by the simple act of Richard Lewis and his girlfriend.. oh, and the ending is superb too. Seeing Jeff and Susie offroad and Larry excited that the exacto knife he bought could work in this case is amazing, and is proof that Curb still has it.moreless

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- At one point, Larry says, "When I get a feeling, I get a feeling" in a vaguely Irish accent, mimicking Jane Darwell in the 1941 movie, All Through The Night. That was her signature line in the movie, and many in the cast were saying it as the movie ended.
