She was like 14!! I understand if she was 4 and sung so terribly off key!! but she isnt!! At 14 you needed to practice this until its almost perfect!! If she was singing competitively in a karaoke bar she would have boo'd right off the stage!!
Larry says what everyone else is thinking but are too socially polite to say. If the daughter went on American Idol during the Simon era with that, he would have ended it sooner than Larry did.
Despite her gruff attitude toward almost everybody else, Susie is a good mother. However it seems like she overpraises her daughter to an extent that Sammy believes she is better than she actually is.
nothing to do with thinking kids are perfect which none of them are, rather to encourage them to be more than experts on moving their finger on a small screen.
So true to life scene! I knew a family where the parents were so proud of their daughter and want people to hear her sing in every gathering or party. It is so awkward because the daughter cannot really sing. Maybe out of kindness, I have yet to see anyone doing what Larry did here.
This reminds me of a retirement party I attended where a guest's son performed one of his songs as his "gift" to the retiree. The thing is, he couldn't sing and play the piano at the same time, so he would stop playing every so often to awkwardly sing a couple verses. When he was done, he told everyone he would be selling autographed copies of his CD in the back.
You ever see a god ugly baby and mom just thinks the kid is so beautiful, and nobody wants to be the one to start the argument. And folks are acting like they can't see the ugly. Uhh.
Larry did the world a favor by stopping her. Her singing would only be good for those contestants who go on American Idol to make a fool of themselves purposely. Man she was was terrible!
Im a massage therapist and today i massaged Ashly Holloway's (the girl who plays Sammi Greene) bf today. He told me some show's she's been in and my curiosity led me to look for a recent pic or vid of her and here i am. funny thing is that her bf has NEVER seen her act or seen anything she's been in. She's shy and hates the way she acts. So modest.
Ole Boy Blue well of course, HBO clearly gives more leeway for more lewd subject matter, not that that was the case in this instance.. you cant have subject matter on NBC like the huge vagina episode or larry getting a hard on after the 5 second rule with auntie ray etc.. come on think. seinfeld was absolutely gold for the network it was on. curb is seinfeld but on steroids
I don't understand why people always mock "toasters and blenders" as bad gifts. They're probably the best gifts ever, because some blenders are kick-ass and a new one is always welcomed to replace the dirty scratched old ones. And as Larry so thoroughly proved in Season six, many toasters suck, so maybe someone will finally get us a good one as a present! There could be a lot worse gifts!
Totally agree, especially if I was in their income bracket. We've managed to help many a needy family with 2nd hand kitchen equipment among other things from wealthy people who go through stuff often. The song is nice, but an amazing toaster would help a lot more.
I crack up whenever I think of this scene, cos I have witnessed these types of situations before - it's the perfect storm of "funny and uncomfortable." Heaven help you if you happen to make eye contact with someone else in the room who is desperately trying to repress a similar smirk & giggle.
It's like he was so uncomfortable that he just had to stop the crazy mess! I understand completely. Sometimes you get embarrassed for someone else and just have to stop the pain!
I witnessed high school grads in Beijing doing something similar during a long-winded speech by some telecom official. They started spontaneously applauding well before he was done.

Larry's right that's a really terrible gift.
She was like 14!! I understand if she was 4 and sung so terribly off key!! but she isnt!! At 14 you needed to practice this until its almost perfect!! If she was singing competitively in a karaoke bar she would have boo'd right off the stage!!
LD is mostly right, clearly right here.
@@ericday4505 i would have gone with the toaster. Everyone has one but they brrak and u need a new one so why not lol
Ted to Mary: I would rather have gotten a toaster.
@@jakep1979 Even if she was 4, it's not a gift.
The social assassin strikes again.
He bungled the hit!
black guy at the end nodding in approval cracks me up!
Yeah I caught that too...he's got that look like Man that guy is my F'n Hero!!!!!
@@jakep1979 😂😂🤣
i thought that was Wayne Brady
The waitress behind too
A black man is never just a man. Sad.
0:47 - the batshit look on Suzie's face as she is mouthing the lyrics has me rolling on the floor in laughter every single time 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for pointing that one out hahaha
That had me laughing my ass off, and as you said every single time, this show was so funny it was criminal. Susie with those crazy eyes.
The black gentleman at 1:33 kills me every time. That smirk - he knew exactly what Larry was doing, and he agrees.
Larry is the only voice of reason in a culture of ridiculous social norms.
Indeed he is
New Age Retro Hippie facts
Hes the Social Assassin
yep
Found the brainwashed imbecile.
His face when he says ''eh ..Talented kid'' Lmao
Larry is the only normal person in this series, the truth is with him.
Peeach brother, preach!!
Larry is a douche half the time that's part of the whole character, stop idolizing him hah
Larry says what everyone else is thinking but are too socially polite to say. If the daughter went on American Idol during the Simon era with that, he would have ended it sooner than Larry did.
@@Bob-gd4uu You're a douche all of the time. Stop telling people how to think, you control freak.
@@ARedMotorcycle hah loser
im sure everyone was happy he did that except for susie
Exactly!
Despite her gruff attitude toward almost everybody else, Susie is a good mother. However it seems like she overpraises her daughter to an extent that Sammy believes she is better than she actually is.
the black guy at the end knows larry did the right thing
Racist
@@texasdrz9515 How is that racism
@@texasdrz9515 shut up
☺️😂😂😂 yup
TexasDrz no one cares about what you say or think
YOU SQUASHED THE SPIRIT OF A TALENTED YOUNG GIRL LARRY!!!!!
huhuhwuhwueheuheue
Get out!!
That scene is even funnier -- MOM!!! I was singing and Larry told me to STFU !!!!
Wuewuewuewue
Well, Sammy caused our ears to bleed
This scene is one of the funniest things I've ever seen on television.
You might have missed in Season 8 the reason Jeff and Susie go to New York is Sammy got "accepted to Julliard."
gibberconfirm Didn't miss it.
gibberconfirm Maybe rich jew Jeff gave Juliard big bucks.
Beloved “aunt”
TechMetalRules I'm going to be on television 💊💊
That look Suzie gives him as he gets everyone to applaud.
Surprised she didn't call him a 4-eyed fuck.
That was her best death stare as she wishes Larry would just drop dead on the spot.
@W SMYTHE BATES jesus relax, its just a comedy
You can tell the actress playing Sammy actually knows how to sing and has to screw it up for the scene
I believe that
Exactly - she sounds like she knows how to sing but is trying to be a bad singer. She pulled it off well enough for this scene.
I think she started some sort of musical career fairly recently
th-cam.com/video/RxqRuQfzQpM/w-d-xo.html
Ashly Holloway - she hasn't been on the past few seasons
I like how this and Seinfeld are basically Larry acting out his antisocial fantasies.
Right on Larry to standing up to those overbearing parents who think their kids are perfect in everything.
nothing to do with thinking kids are perfect which none of them are, rather to encourage them to be more than experts on moving their finger on a small screen.
I don't think it's about being perfect, it's about encouragement.
They all ''thought'' it... larry ''did'' it
Thats the beauty of LD... he actually does , without hesitation , what others only have the Nerve to think about doing ..
She's totally about to crack up while singing at the 38 second mark
She catches a look of her supportive "parents". Gotta love the extra effort too of screwing up the verse progression.
I fucking love Susie mouthing the lyrics to her as she sings.
So true to life scene! I knew a family where the parents were so proud of their daughter and want people to hear her sing in every gathering or party. It is so awkward because the daughter cannot really sing. Maybe out of kindness, I have yet to see anyone doing what Larry did here.

Autographed copies😂😂😂
Did anybody buy one?
If that story is true, then that kid is deluded…
🤣
That Is not true, it's funny as he'll so it can't be true.
@@ericday4505reality is stranger than fiction
if you can't sing it's not really a gift
Just like soup isn't really a meal.
Daniel Lee why not?
Next time, just buy them a toaster.
@@daniellee1722 Soup's a meal, that's the dinner, you won't get any other dinners from me
@@kgarodiya Well I had a hotdog earlier...
I also hate when parents think they kids are so great when they are clearly not.
You ever see a god ugly baby and mom just thinks the kid is so beautiful, and nobody wants to be the one to start the argument. And folks are acting like they can't see the ugly. Uhh.
Or when bros say hey your mom is so hot and then another friend with the fat ugly mom jumps in ya my mom's pretty too like dude come on
lmao everyone applauding in approval
Susie at 0:46 I can't stop laughing!
she is an amazing actres.
🤣🤣
helveeta Susie is brilliant 😎
this is one of the most scenes that I really love "that's a gift? are you kidding 😂😂😂"
After the “oh my god”, you know a shitstorm caused by Larry is inevitably soon to follow. 😂“The oh my god” is like thunder in the distance.
And larry knows sami since the day she was born. 😂 But zero love zero empathy.
The look that Susie gives Larry at 1:30 😂
Larry at 0:40 dropping the "Oh my God" at the tragedy unfolding lmaoooooooo
Only in L.A. would people be so narcissistic that they think their daughter's bad singing is a gift. 😂
"That's a gift, are you kidding?" 🤣👍
Larry did the world a favor by stopping her. Her singing would only be good for those contestants who go on American Idol to make a fool of themselves purposely. Man she was was terrible!
Simon would have ended it long before Larry did. And replied: What in the bloody hell was that?
Talented kid
😂 Even at 00:48 Jeff is like "Fuck me....". What a stupid gift, Larry was right here.
I love how he says “Talented kid” after he had just clapped her off 😂😂😂😂😂
Talented kid 🤣
That’s a gift? Are you kidding ?😂😂😂😂😂😂
Im a massage therapist and today i massaged Ashly Holloway's (the girl who plays Sammi Greene) bf today.

When Larry speaks, we all listen because he's always right and doesn't give a flying f**k.
That’s such a sweet gift
Full voice: "That's a gift?" 🤣
the song was a gift to them, but stopping the song was a better gift for everyone
Susie mouthing the words always makes me cackle
That shot of Sammy singing and Cheryl next to her mouthing along lolololololol
You mean Susie
Kudos to the actress singing in a room full of people!
Props to the young actress, she was spot on on this scene.
Jeffs face is amazing
Larry could not stand that girl 😂😂
Talented kid!
You squashed the spirit of a talent young girl!!!
National anthem girl from pacers brought me here..Where were you larry? We needed you at that game
YOU SQUASHED THE SPIRIT OF A TALENTED YOUNG GIRL!
The actress singing is a genius. Watch her arms. She’s too good !bb
I've been in False / sucking up cringy situations like this.. and Larry is 100% correct.
I knew before Sammy started singing that she was going to be terrible. Larry is simply incapable of hypocrisy.
0:46 Susie, OMG! LMAO. Sammy's song sounds like shower time stuff.
Consider this Curb's equivalent to Elaine dancing.
See this is why Larry is king...anyone else would just suffer through that...Larry actually shuts it down.
I just wanna see the scene where Larry wakes up to sammy singing “you’re just too good to be true”
This is the show that Seinfeld wished it could be.
+Ole Boy Blue exactly! big networks like NBC don't always let the writers do what they want, even with shows as successful as seinfeld
well they mostly don't like bad words or sex references.
Ole Boy Blue well of course, HBO clearly gives more leeway for more lewd subject matter, not that that was the case in this instance.. you cant have subject matter on NBC like the huge vagina episode or larry getting a hard on after the 5 second rule with auntie ray etc.. come on think. seinfeld was absolutely gold for the network it was on. curb is seinfeld but on steroids
Josh Peterson What do you mean about nothing?
Josh Peterson Agreed but maybe thats why its so great in a way
That scene made me watch the entire show
I don't understand why people always mock "toasters and blenders" as bad gifts. They're probably the best gifts ever, because some blenders are kick-ass and a new one is always welcomed to replace the dirty scratched old ones. And as Larry so thoroughly proved in Season six, many toasters suck, so maybe someone will finally get us a good one as a present! There could be a lot worse gifts!
I would be so thankful for a good blender. Kitchen technology is a almost always a great gift unless the one you wanna gift it to doesn't really cook.
Ted and Mary probably thought the same thing after receiving this gift.
deep fryer, a griddle, and dehydrator, also a cast iron pan !
@@EASFromTheWest And actually, I’ve been very impressed with these new air fryers.
Totally agree, especially if I was in their income bracket. We've managed to help many a needy family with 2nd hand kitchen equipment among other things from wealthy people who go through stuff often. The song is nice, but an amazing toaster would help a lot more.
A great way to save money instead of spending it on a birthday gift.
I like how Jeff doesn’t say a word
its even funnier because its the same song she woke larry up with when shes younger, he told her to stfu and susie kicked him out.
1:33 You can tell that Black guy is thanking Larry for putting an end to it.
Larry at 1:19 "The song's over". Hilarious
Thank u Larry for turning off that torture toy for ears.
I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 and Larry David is exactly like my dad 😂 he done this at a 50th birthday 😂 mind your he has never seen or heard of Larry David
We need more Larry’s in this world
Larry David is my spirit animal.
I wish Sammy was still in the show.
The speech at the end of The Dark Knight should be playing after what he did
Larry should be at every Nickelback concert..
Mark Lanigan the joke is that Nicklelsack is terrible.
And yes, I did spell their band name correctly, or at least how it should be spelled
Mark Lanigan yeah I did..
It’s nickelsack!
The Nickelback hate is tired and played out.
@@jjmanzano9 Much like the band so yeah get over it.
Thats messed up. And i like Nickelback.
Haha this is even more hilarious because in another episode Larry tells Sammy to stfu when she was singing and he was trying to sleep lol!
I crack up whenever I think of this scene, cos I have witnessed these types of situations before - it's the perfect storm of "funny and uncomfortable." Heaven help you if you happen to make eye contact with someone else in the room who is desperately trying to repress a similar smirk & giggle.
"What? Song's over." lol
'I thought the song was over' lmao
she starts to laugh at 0:38
Really saves money on gifts!😊
This is the best scene of the entire show. So real.
No it's not
Someone had to be the adult in the room.
I’m sure that couple would have rather got a toaster or a blender over that.
0:43 Susie 😂😂😂😂😂
not all heroes wear capes
So many guests were thankful that day.
It's like he was so uncomfortable that he just had to stop the crazy mess! I understand completely. Sometimes you get embarrassed for someone else and just have to stop the pain!
shoulda bought em a toaster
I witnessed high school grads in Beijing doing something similar during a long-winded speech by some telecom official. They started spontaneously applauding well before he was done.
Love the look she gave him at 1:29
Talented kid.
"Talented kid"
Hahahaha!
Classic!
That's a gift? Are you kidding? How is that a gift?
Larry is the mannnn🤣🤣🤣
I love how larry is talking about people being inconsiderate and ignoring unwritten rules then proceeds to rudely interrupt sammy and humiliate her
I just did this with my wife singing this morning.. worked like a charm
00:46 suzie 😂😂😂
I loved this bit so much.
People weaponise their children. Larry David called bullshit on it.
I think it was more that they weren't buying a gift, and that she couldn't sing.
In Germany we have a nice word for situations like this: "Notschlachten."
It means emergency slaughtering.
You germans... Ha ha
"Those Germans have a word for everything."
Homer Simpson
There is an English equivalent: "Nottakinthisshitnomo."
"That's a gift? are you kidding?"
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE! ..OMG...LOL...
