Larry did a smart move to seize the word selfish before she could.
He is in the right
This isn't kindergarten, you don't "seize" words and lock them out. If Cheryl could use selfish right after that, it wouldn't look weird at all. But despite all that I've said, Larry's 100% in the right.
@@TillTheLightTakesUs you misunderstand, he seized it as in utilizing the word and it’s meaning to serve his purpose. Now if the wife wants to use the word she’ll have to be put on the defensive to justify why she’s not selfish, then explain why Larry is acting selfish
She should have suggested Larry leave, wonder if boot was on other foot?
@@uncleterry1703 He’s *always* in the right!
That’s what makes this show so great (speaking as someone with Asperger’s who gets irritated by pointless social customs).
I love how Wanda initially only tries to tell Cheryl 😂
"hopefully, I could, at some point, get back some semblance of a life...". I died. Too funny.
How the hell did he keep a straight face?no way that scene was 1 take!
odorico leal Hahahaha,best ,ever
🤣
Lol! It would have taken him a day and a half to get back his semblance.
@@wungabunga During the interview, he said this was all improvised and he could not help laughing.
no idea how Cheryl kept a straight face. Every line Larry said was perfect
Nick Chin They shoot scenes separately
Anything is possible with enough botox.
Cheryl is a great straight man in the old bud abbott tradition
Larry said they had to do a lot of takes bc he couldn’t stop laughing.
And the whole scene was 100% ad libbed on the spot.
"at least..one of us would survive." He said that with a sincere straight face.
That's how I would think too, if my folks barely survived the Holocaust, and many of their loved ones had to be sacrificed so that a few could survive and carry on the race. Especially if the USA is just a place he's at to stay away from the people who want to kill him. And he's more interested in the afterlife than the current here and the now. Yeah, I would talk like that too. It's the prudent course of action when your very survival is a warzone, and nothing can be taken for granted, anti-Semitism is a real treat, and losing a wife because she'd rather stay behind at a charity function she started even though someone went out of her way to break a legally binding silence to warn them of a 90% probability of a terrorist attack in that city. If I were him, I wouldn't even be negotiating like that. No way. And I might just flee the country for a little bit.
@@zhouwu are you serious? Lighten up! You sound deranged.
@@sandragrant8271 No, I'm joking. I've just got a very dark sense of humour.
@@zhouwu you have a Larry David kind of humor. I like it.
@@sandragrant8271 Seriously? Now that's not the response I expected!
the way he says "selfish" is maybe the funniest delivery that word has ever seen in the history of humanity. ditto for "perish"
Well, it got a fast laugh out of me too, but when I actually thought about it, Larry is right. Sure, he's being selfish by leaving LA and leaving his wife alone in a possible terrorist attack. What's more selfish is too risk the death of both just so you can do some Public Image benefit. Short term gain.
This scene really just encapsulates what makes Larry so much of a unique character. Whereas most people take the obvious truths too seriously, Larry rejects it. And he's willing to argue just for the sake of it. He's the ultimate Devil's Advocate. He's a Jester.
Calm down dude. Its not that good
You took the words out of my mouth. Genius.
The way Wanda goes..."IF??!?!....huh!" is hilarious!
It’s 100% selfish for Cheryl to want them to die together. It’s basically a suicide pact
Precisely.
Ollyoxenfree practically what marriage is lol
Kinda selfish of the fbi not warning people lol
Lol! If Larry and Cheryl had been on the Titanic, with one seat left on the lifeboat, he’d have taken it.
porridge57 he would have been in the lifeboats before they even got filled up
i love the use of the word 'perish'
LD is the most subtle savage person on the planet. Love it.
I love it how Cheryl makes her wanting to be next to a terrorist attack to not loose social points, into a passive agressive attack against Larry for not wanting to die with her 😂.
Absolute comedy gold from Larry and Cheryl! The whole scene is so beautifully paced. She is such a great foil for Larry. Trying to get him to stay with her when a terror attack is 90% sure while assuming the moral high ground and making him squirm is genius!
Indeed! I I just posted something similar. This is one of the best comedy scenes ever filmed IMO! Understated genius!
Cheryl It just seems like if we're gonna go we should go together" LD "Not Necessarily" LOL....LD=comedic genius
So funny
gotta agree with larry.
think cheryl is still obsessing on the "for all eternity" concept!
I would go with Cheryl anywhere anytime!
"I never thought I'd say this but Larry's right!" 🤣 Also Cheryl is being nuts here.
Cheryl: “I’ll see you when you get back. “ Wanda:”If you’re still here. “
I love how its her decision to place them both at risk, but somehow the result is that Larry is on the spot. If he leaves, he's a jerk whether there's an attack or not.
@gene If the women you know would rather you die than live without them then maybe they shouldn’t be in your life...
yunggoth no woman is worth dying for. NONE. Life is too precious.
Jesus, its the role of both partners to stand by each other. Especially a man leaving a womans side during a time where there might be danger, spineless cowardice and it shows his true colors.
Bo Horn you're a fucking idiot..if they were in a hold up and he ran out on her and left her there,or they were in a hurricane and he bailed without her,that would be different..but she's KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY putting there lives at risk,just so she doesn't look bad to her snobby friends! Two totally separate things? Larry is right.
@@superstarreviews9937 I'm with you on this. The woman is irrational in this occasion.
wow these two act great together.
I'm with Larry on this one.
I like how she tries to guilt trip him when she has the very same choice to leave.
it's a very busy weekend though in their social calendar
...."talkin bout a damn benefit...."
“It almost seems a little “selfish” to want both of us to perish.” Lol
Larry is right! Larry is right! Larry is right! Larry is usually right but just most of the time no one can see it.
I've been watching a lot of this lately and trying to figure him out. I think it's because his brutal honestly and lack of social filter is really what would happen if we were just completely truthful about every situation in our lives makes it so awesome. In just about every situation on this show.
Josh Peterson no you don’t
Lizzie Martin lmfao he’s not usually right, the whole point is he has zero social filters good or bad and has the money to not care about anything
Lizzie Martin he was always right. That’s the genius of the show.
I think if he and Cheryl were on the Titanic, and there was only one space left on the lifeboat, Larry would take it. Lol!
It is bonkers that Cheryl is implying simply wanting to continue existing is the same as “being fine if I died”
Sadly, not an unusual move 😄
Truly one of the great comedy scenes of all time. Such absolutely brilliant restraint. They fed masterfully off of each other. Pure gold.
How cheryl kept a straight face when larry said "perish" is a miracle...........
It does look like she wants to crack at one point.
“Maybe golfing to Pebble Beach”
Larry David is a genius
“Anthrax, a bomb, I don’t know, it could be something crazy” 😂😂
Larry's facial expression as he says "what?" from 1:22-1:27 is hilarious!!!
😭😭😂😂😂
Comedic genius
At least one of us would survive
Hotchie Motchie
This has long been my favorite scene from this show. The timing it amazing.
1:35 I thought I’d never say this, but Larry is right
his delivery of the word "perish" is pure gold
Larry’s awesome, I’m on a Larry binge watching few days b4 Christmas 2018
"I thought I'd never say this but Larry's right" ! Love it !
the way his lip smacks when he say "a little selfish" always cracked me up
Oh goodness this one is the best so far, I was eating and almost choked.
Amazing that a lot of the scrip is improvised 😂😄👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Curb is the best antidepressant
truly one of the best curb scenes
The whispering at the end is just so funny
I LOVE Larry and Leon😂
This entire scene is just so perfect right down to the birds chirping in the background.
I don't Blame Wanda I will leave town too. Larry wife must be crazy to stay around for benefits
Well ,social climbing is a serious sport🤣
Larry saying “Selfish” was perfect.
This same conversation happened between the owner of the WTC and his buddies that had dentist appointments.
He got me at" necessarily "
One of the best scenes in comedy.
The acting in this is so good
On my goodness.....this is so funny(on so many levels).😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I wonder how many times they broke filming this scene. I couldn't and I'm just watching it.
This is probably my most favorite Curb scene.
" I never thought I'd say this but Larry is right" hahhahahaha
"Not necessarily"....best line..best delivery.
I haven't seen the rest of this, but I felt sure they were gonna jump cut to a shot of Larry on the fairway at Pebble Beach.
This clip is funny as hell... Larry is fantastic :-)
Probably one of if not the most funny skits I have seen on CYE
This is one of the funniest 4 minutes in TV history! 🤣
This scene really captures a lot
That was so serious I wouldn't mind knowing how many takes that took to complete, hilarious.
The delivery by Larry is just hilarious
Thank you ♥♥♥♥ This is my favorite scene in the entire series, possibly second only to the bulgogi episode
Amazing and very interesting show..
Super like👌👌👌
Just fun to watch anytime
Do keep posting
The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨🏭
1:27 Wanda is just brilliant
joecasanovax shes a fucker
@samplexample bitch stfu lol
Such premium quality top shelf passive aggression going on between Larry and Cheryl.
That's some good acting Wanda "I'm going to Vegas with my boyfriend." 😂💦♀♀
I thought lary was gonna be the one arguing to stay
Larry's logic spot on
You've got to love Larry
Best curb scene ever
I really wouldn't take this silliness seriously.😂
It's crazy that the last scene is 100% improvised!
“I’m going to Vegas with my boyfriend” 😂
No not Necessarily lmao the look she gives him 😂😂
I was laughing so hard i had an asthma attack...
Yes Larry survival first cheryl is risking her own life no need to risk yours too
I love how Wanda has such disdain for Larry
it's because he's a bald ass man
Am I the only one that is in tears watching this? Its so overly dramatic and I don't know how Larry keeps a straight face. I'm dying...👊😄
I wonder how many takes this scene took cos you can see he wants to laugh lol
Wanda's not playing, she's out..🏃♀️
"MMM, WELL Y KNOW...MAYBE I CAN...GO" (with a subtle scratching on the pants in the background, and chewing gum) !
"If we're gonna go, we should go together." Yeah, because both people in a couple almost always die at the same time.
Wanda's the best 😂😂😂
“Idk..Pebble beach!?” Bahahaha 😂
Best deadpan ever. Total riot
What makes me plotz is the white noise in the background
I don’t know how people can enjoy new curb episodes when they see how AMAZiNG these older episodes were. No comparison.
He writes this in a way that the in-universe people say he out of line and selfish blah blah blah but the viewers clearly know he’s right 95% of the time. Great stuff.
Larry's escaping to Pebble Beach and get some golf in! He's the best!!
The funniest solemn moment on Curb.
I wonder if it took more than one takes. It's so hilarious, I know I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face.
His first thought when she says she can't leave town is to try to save himself. What a champ
Atlantis Morissette is going to be here. 😆 I felt that..great song's and music artist. Iamscyence
Golfing! Love Larry.
I love how quiet Larry got when he talked to Sheryl because he KNOWS this won't sound good for her, even though he doesn't agree with it. he just knows :D
I'll think about it.
Larry's one of the greats 😀😀😀🇬🇧🇬🇧
michael davis he is American. The Brits aren’t fun y
I love the tone of voice of the Larry-Cheryl conversation.
Such a great scene.
I’d leave I don’t care what the wife says I’m leaving she’s the one that wants to stay
No you wouldn’t. Get real. If you actually think you can do that, then your wife is probably cheating on you and getting banged by another man or men.
Pebble beach babeeee!
Fabulous!
Everyone has a brother whose best friend is with the CIA and heard it from the top but you MUSTN'T tell anyone.
That's exactly how it works.
Priceless, wonderful comedy.
nice!
