This is honestly my favorite piece of television of all time. Years and years of Larry being vilified only to be vindicated by the Fatwa investigator is genius writing.
@@josephscarborough8888 What? What do you know about _fatwa_ or Islam or Muslims for that matter? You think it is all about Ayatullah issuing a fatwa three decades ago?
@@waryaawariiri1812 for fucks sake, No. I gave the barebones, technical meaning of what a fatwa is. If you mean I'm technically incorrect, then by all means, explain what it is.
You should have simply googled before speaking out of your behind of what you have no knowledge of. Here is the very first sentence of the google result: *Fatwa, in Islam, a formal ruling or interpretation on a point of Islamic law given by a qualified legal scholar (known as a mufti). Fatwas are usually issued in response to questions from individuals or Islamic courts.*
nickys34 pretty sure it’s about being misunderstood and how peoples perspectives and emotional involvement in a situation cloud their judgement and an impartial party would usually see things the way they are.. Larry doesn’t give into societies preconceived notions of what is proper etiquette in social situations but he is usually in the right because societies norms usually contain at least some bullsht and people just do not question it. It comes down to comfort most people aren’t going against society and what’s considered normal because it’s uncomfortable to do so.but this guy doesn’t have the preconceived corrupt American value system to alter his judgement on sed social situations. So when he sees Larry was usually a victim of misunderstandings and societies need to fit everyone into a box that he won’t fit into. It makes people uncomfortable to question things most people accept as normal. The one who questions these norms will usually catch the brunt of societies backlash.
@@anydaynow im sure you are trolling hoping the guy gets offended but you probably don't even know that Muslims Jesus was a good man of God, just not the son of God.
Yeah, Iranian accent is awesome. Great for acting. he could easily play the role of a secret agent or a street vendor selling roasted peanuts in New York City.
Green Mills yeah. Sean connery actually started balding very early, especially for the time period in which he was born. He started balding before or around the age of 20.
Took me until just now to get that idk why. I thought he was smiling because he finally got one piece of evidence against Larry rather than admiring him for doing it lmao
The soulful exhale at 2:42 after Fox admits to shaking the soda, years after the release of the episode in question. It's like we as the audience are finally taking a breath of relief after holding in frustration on Larry's behalf for so long. The perfect touch after a string of satisfying confessions regarding times Larry was previously wronged.
Love how Michael Fox has such a pained expression on his face when he finally admits to shaking the can on purpose, as though he has been hiding this dark secret for many years and can find release when he can admit the truth to someone. Great acting by MF.
Most of these characters are all memorable and appeared in only 1 ep. That's the genius of both Seinfeld and Curb, where you got roles like The Soup Nazi or Greg The Famboyant Kid that you'd see a few minutes but you'll never forget
It's what Larry said to him when they met, in response to 'you're my n*gga' but as a reversal. Crazy Eyes was confused at the time but I'm glad to see he remembered!
The investigator is truth serum personified, he's so calm and authoritative, they all just admit what Larry accused them of. Brilliant acting all around.
This is just the best. This sequence rewards loyal followers of the show and actually gave a definitive answer to a previously vague situation with Michael J Fox. So great!
The guy looks so sophisticated. He is better dressed than almost anyone on the show. His eyes scream intrigue and experience. How did they get such good CASTING! every character is SO WELL CASTED!!!!
Us Curb fans waited 6 years for this season and to say it was worth the wait is an understatement. Larry David is his own league when it comes to quality
Perspective is not everything nor should it ever be. It's important to remember that there is _a lot_ of black and white out there in the world. On most of these occasions, Larry was in the right and the other party was in the wrong.
This is such a brilliant idea. They did a great job. The actor was on point. Sad the series is coming to an end. Larry David is the man- he’s had such a huge impact on everything that goes into a good show. Always revisit Curb Your Enthusiasm. So relatable.
A perfect story of how rejecting irrational religious edicts, prioritizing facts above feelings, & generally calling out bullsh*t can, in certain situations at least, save your bacon. I also love how Michael J. Fox takes on the persona of the busted villain at the end of an episode of Columbo.
Especially the ski lift thing! It wasn't Larry's fault the lift broke so why would he have to abide by someone else's law? That's the equivalent of a Muslim telling me I can't eat during their Ramadan? That would be absurd even to a Muslim.
I don't even get that. A can won't behave the same way as a bottle. If you shake the can it will only overflow a lil bit. You might get your hands wet, that's all. You can tap the can on the side to get rid of that.
@@mclera8566 According to ~some~ sciencists, the tapping thing doesn't work that way edition.cnn.com/2019/12/12/world/beer-can-tapping-frothing-intl-scli-scn/index.html but obviously there is much more research to be done on that topic
@@Isleofskye I MJF had offered a refreshment to Larry in the past and due to MJF's condition it exploded all over the place and MJF thinks the guy is saying no to the refreshment bc he is afraid the same thing will happen
This was supposed to be the Curb series finale, hence all the past cameos from even season 1. But LD changed his mind and wanted to continue and now Curb has surpassed Seinfeld in longevity and popularity
Not popularity though right? Wasn't Seinfeld the top show for audience figures some years? And Curb is on HBO that not everyone has? I'm not American so don't fully understand the TV landscape there, but curious about how they compare.
Wish they hadn’t done the Seinfeld thing again in the finale, in a weird way this whole fatwa plotline with Larry bizarrely coming off as the good guy here would have been a perfect way to end it. Plus I preferred these cameos to the ones from S12

He's of Iranian descent. His name is Navid Negahban and he played the shadow king's role...
He feels like someone straight out of Seinfeld, and I don't mean that as an insult.
Yeah, Iranian accent is awesome. Great for acting. he could easily play the role of a secret agent or a street vendor selling roasted peanuts in New York City.
He's great in Legion
This actor totally nailed this scene. What a gorgeous voice.
He could make a career out of that persona like Philip Baker Hall does as a hard boiled detective.
Love this guy. Clicked half for the title half for him
I feel like it was his destiny to be an Iranian James Bond.
@@ValensBellator I remember thinking this guy looks like an Iranian Timothy Dalton when I watched this episode.

And to return for this scene ❤
Been saying it for years, the world sees Larry insane, but he's the most sane person in the room at any given time lol
The world of curb your enthusiasm sees him insane I think everyone on the outside sides with larry.
