Artie is just the most wonderful character for this kind of show, completely ruthless and goal driven to the point of near insanity. His facial expressions are some of the funniest things I've ever seen, they don't and shouldn't match the situation but they so do. No matter how nuts Artie is, you know he's the guy who's going to get the job done.
I read that Garry Shandling told Rip Torn to conjure Artie as if Ruben Kincaid had an anger problem - nailed it!! One of the best characters and actors in TV history, no question.
Unbelievable as a 17 year old kid, I watched this show with my dad. This became one of mine favorite shows, but it was not due to Gary Shandling. No, the rough speaking and funny as hell Rip Torn. I'll miss you. Thank you for the memories.
That last bit blasting the sidekick was fucking epic. His quick wit, perfect timing and relaxed delivery were as smooth silk. Total pro, he was a comic genius. He will be missed greatly. Rip.. literally.
Greatest show I've ever seen. Tambor, Shandling and especially Rip Torn are stunning. The Hope Diamond, the Rolls Royce Corniche, the Mt. Everest of comedy/satire.
The Larry Sanders show was laser sharp and passed over the heads of the great unwashed, arguably the best tv comedy ever. Artie should run the United Nations.
Pure genius, and perhaps affirmation that you're never too far from the edge once you cross that line. The brilliance of this show was that it wasn't just brilliantly funny, it also evoked pathos and poignancy. That Tambor's performance eclipsed Shandling is impressive enough, but that Torn topped them both is amazing. Nothing on TV has come close since.
Stupid, I know, but one of my favorite moments in the entire run of this show is at 3:29, Larry pushing a 3 foot putt at least a foot wide. That kills me to this day.
Rip Torn! One of a kind. This role suited him soooo well, and he NAILED IT !! The Larry Sanders show was put together like nothing else, past, present, and more than likely...future. Of course toss in the amazing talent of Jeffery Tambor, as well as Gary Shandling. Gut busting laughs...GUT BUSTING I say! Thanks for the compilation. Very very funny!
Gutted. Just read the news. Had to happen sometime. Well this is a great reminder of one of the best comedy characters on television. I hope younger people discover this show. They're in for a treat, a very profanity laden treat. RIP Rip.
I remember this show and scenes from it but I dont remember watching it. Its weird. Great actor though. lol I like how he saved the best for last in this comp.
EPIC...should be viewing for all tv actors to realize they will never achieve this level of greatness...but try...always try! Truly the best written lines ever...EVER! Every Oscar winner must bow to Rip!
Did anyone happen to catch or see Rip Torn in a episode of the UNTOUCHABLES TV series? He was Philadelphia Phil, a hitman from Philadelphia. LOL , he was so young you won’t recognize him, at least I didn’t until the Intro.
Rip was very underrated as an actor in any of his roles. But I am sure I am not alone when viewers would see RIP on screen in any role a smile would instantly come to their face.
2:10 In the 90's Garry Shandling made fun of the idea of having karaoke on a talk show. and now in 2017 James Corden has made a career out of it. Either people have gotten stupider or Hank Kingsley was ahead of his time
"the complex with loaded with fellow divorce victims, so whenever you get the urge to piss all over your ex..everybody joins in" ROFL!!! That's gotta be one of the best forms of dialog I've heard in comedy ever!
CLASSIC now indeed !! 2020 ! This was the last of the good days , Rip was AWESOME as was the whole cast ! I am 57 in 65 days.....man it went by too fast ! Larry Sanders Show was one of HBO's BEST EVER !
it annoys me that this show is so underrated,tried to show it to mates of mine and they didn't even watch 5 minutes of it. probably the greatest TV show of all time with three of the greatest comedy performances ever and a special mention to Jeffrey Tambor, a fucking genius
I was thinking to myself the best Artie isn't even here. then 9:55 popped up. saved the best for last, did you buddy? kudos to the poster. and ARTIE IS KING ARTIE IS KING ARTIE IS KING.
Pitching locations to take the show on the road, obvious Larry isn't listening, Artie pulls out the line "Or we could try Somalia, or Jupiter, or up my ass?!" We all need an Artie in our lives.
R.I.P., Rip Torn. No one made cursing so goddamn poetic.
RIP Rip. He was a living legend and a true artist. A proper actor. Artie stands the test of time - never fails to make me roar with laughter.
The Larry Sanders Show is one of the greatest shows of all time and grossly underrated!
It was highly acclaimed by critics in the 90s and ran for six seasons. Try again.
The greatest character in the greatest comedy. This show will never be equalled. You brought endless joy along with Garry and Jeffrey. R.I.P. Sir
Artie is just the most wonderful character for this kind of show, completely ruthless and goal driven to the point of near insanity.

We look like nuts ta youu?!
And you can believe this’s how an old school Hollywood director would be like.
One of the greatest characters on TV, ever.
I read that Garry Shandling told Rip Torn to conjure Artie as if Ruben Kincaid had an anger problem - nailed it!! One of the best characters and actors in TV history, no question.
- How are your FLAKES?
- Flakes are good.
- I trust they're still CRISP-y in the milk?
Artie, Larry, and Hank were like brothers. They loved each other and hated each other at the same time.
We should have listened to Gary and noticed the warning signs about Lori Laughlin.
Brilliant !!
I love it
oh shit!
My god. What an absolute presence this man had. I don't know if he ever won an Emmy for this but if he didn't it's a crime against humanity
He did indeed win an Emmy!
Unbelievable as a 17 year old kid, I watched this show with my dad. This became one of mine favorite shows, but it was not due to Gary Shandling. No, the rough speaking and funny as hell Rip Torn. I'll miss you. Thank you for the memories.

One of the best shows ever.
Greatest show I've ever seen. Tambor, Shandling and especially Rip Torn are stunning. The Hope Diamond, the Rolls Royce Corniche, the Mt. Everest of comedy/satire.
How can anyone keep a straight face acting with Hank Kingsley and Rip Torn? They are SO TALENTED and HILARIOUS.
"Hank's his own man.....sit down Hank"
Rest in Peace. Thank you for the laughter.
The Larry Sanders show was laser sharp and passed over the heads of the great unwashed, arguably the best tv comedy ever. Artie should run the United Nations.
Just...simply...a remarkable actor. Those days are gone ladies and gentlemen.
OMG I had forgotten how great Artie was.LMAO .Those were great days when the world made sense...remember?
I love the 180 with Carvey. "I apologize sir."
Larry and Artie reunited
#Godspeed, Garry and Rip
Amazing stuff. None of this work looks dated. What a great cast. They really understood human foibles and insecurity.
Pure genius, and perhaps affirmation that you're never too far from the edge once you cross that line. The brilliance of this show was that it wasn't just brilliantly funny, it also evoked pathos and poignancy. That Tambor's performance eclipsed Shandling is impressive enough, but that Torn topped them both is amazing. Nothing on TV has come close since.
i will still love you tomorrow. RIP Artie
Stupid, I know, but one of my favorite moments in the entire run of this show is at 3:29, Larry pushing a 3 foot putt at least a foot wide. That kills me to this day.
Yeah I’m doing a first watch and this absolutely killed my. It’s a wonderful tiny joke. Brilliant writing and idea lol.
"Profanity Beverly... I love it!"
He was awesome as Artie!
I never had HBO when this show was on, and just watched On Demand during quarantine. Damn, this show was so good from top to bottom. Arrie rocked!
Rip Torn was absolutely brilliant in this role
It's not the best without drunk, angry Artie demanding that Larry drink a Salty Dog.
Best show, best character ever... Rip Torn you're my Hero!
"underground railroad of perverts"
Now known as Discord
The best show since Bilko.
Rip Torn! One of a kind. This role suited him soooo well, and he NAILED IT !! The Larry Sanders show was put together like nothing else, past, present, and more than likely...future.

RIP TORN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I first fell upon this gem of a comedy when bbc2 in UK aired it at 11:30 at night many years back . Thanks for the upload fsp .still makes me laugh .
Yep, same here, Friday nights back in the 90's. Loved this show.
“Up next : Dream On”
In an interview, Gary Shandling said that his goal was to create the best TV show ever made. I'm pretty sure they succeeded.
Too bad the general public didn't respond as well. Regular people are idiots who prefer Family Guy
Pretty sure? They nailed it.
The great Rip Torn in his signature role. Awesome.
Artie's part is what made that show great.
Gutted. Just read the news. Had to happen sometime. Well this is a great reminder of one of the best comedy characters on television. I hope younger people discover this show. They're in for a treat, a very profanity laden treat. RIP Rip.

"Hank's his own man, does whatever he wants...
Sit down there Hank!"
EPIC...should be viewing for all tv actors to realize they will never achieve this level of greatness...but try...always try! Truly the best written lines ever...EVER! Every Oscar winner must bow to Rip!
Unbelievable energy. RIP
migawd I just loved Artie - I wish we could all have one
R.I.P. Garry Shandling
Did anyone happen to catch or see Rip Torn in a episode of the UNTOUCHABLES TV series?
He was Philadelphia Phil, a hitman from Philadelphia. LOL , he was so young you won’t recognize him, at least I didn’t until the Intro.
The dinner party scene when jeannie locked the bedroom door and Artie drunkenly appeals to her before busting the door.
Funniest favorite moment.
The first time I saw that last clip I had to be carried out on a stretcher. And the next few times.
"...for me it's a perq. Kicking ass in the morning is better than cappucino." Artie is the MAN!
I wish Arthur was my life coach.
Rip was very underrated as an actor in any of his roles. But I am sure I am not alone when viewers would see RIP on screen in any role a smile would instantly come to their face.
He made "Freddy Got Fingered" watchable, at least for the scenes he was in.
Rest in peace Rip Torn!
I came here just minutes after hearing the sad news.
I really feel for Artie when he's trying to get Larry to make a decision that a normal human being should be able to make.
I wish I was more like Artie
Become more like him then
We all need more Artie's in our lives and less Hank's
Great show RIP Garry.
"Good comeback", says Artie. Lol.
2:10 In the 90's Garry Shandling made fun of the idea of having karaoke on a talk show. and now in 2017 James Corden has made a career out of it. Either people have gotten stupider or Hank Kingsley was ahead of his time
"You know you told me this story before and you took the money." Lmao
That may be
Everyone needs an Artie in their lives.
"the complex with loaded with fellow divorce victims, so whenever you get the urge to piss all over your ex..everybody joins in"
ROFL!!! That's gotta be one of the best forms of dialog I've heard in comedy ever!
CLASSIC now indeed !! 2020 ! This was the last of the good days , Rip was AWESOME as was the whole cast ! I am 57 in 65 days.....man it went by too fast ! Larry Sanders Show was one of HBO's BEST EVER !
"You're mind amazes me."
"I'm just now comfortable with it myself."
I love these Artie-isms
RIP, HE WAS SO GOOD
This show is still the best! RIP Garry
Artie had the filthiest mouth in history and I loved every minute of it!
it annoys me that this show is so underrated,tried to show it to mates of mine and they didn't even watch 5 minutes of it. probably the greatest TV show of all time with three of the greatest comedy performances ever and a special mention to Jeffrey Tambor, a fucking genius
I am now 56 and LOVED this HBO classic !!! LMFAO ! " Hey now ! "
the greatest❤
love the scene that starts @ 1:55.
everyone should try to be a little bit of Artie every day.
Artie is king, I'll second that.
Well done fsp123 - great clips.
If you like Rip Torn and have never seen Defending Your Life... what are you waiting for?
in every man there's a little boy and that little boy wants Artie for his dad
%10 of those men want him for their daddy
Between this and FGF, Rip Torn basically embodies my father. I first saw it and was in floods of tears
I was thinking to myself the best Artie isn't even here. then 9:55 popped up. saved the best for last, did you buddy? kudos to the poster. and ARTIE IS KING ARTIE IS KING ARTIE IS KING.
Artie after a few too many Salty Dogs -- gotta love it!
Torn's the GOAT.
Arte is King Queen Duke Earl and Pawn not to mention Joker❤️✅😎✌️👍r in peace come back soon
Artie is the ultimate Realist.
i want a father like Artie
Pitching locations to take the show on the road, obvious Larry isn't listening, Artie pulls out the line "Or we could try Somalia, or Jupiter, or up my ass?!" We all need an Artie in our lives.
And when he tells his wife “First go from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, then end in my favorite town Idontgiveadamn.”
Formidable
"Good comeback" lol thanks for posting the funny
greatest comedy show ever, beats sienfeld and curb
"Good comeback!"
I love Rip Torn.
Artie reminds me of my old sales manager, Richard, at a company called Coast Aluminum Products....he was a kick in the pants.
Arti was the best thing in the show IMO!
What a voice!
Open letter to Mr. Shandling.
Dear Garry,
When is your next sitcom going to be on television?
Please make it soon,
Best,
Jon
The genius, Rip Torn
The greatest show.
RIP RIP!
"Schwingggg!"
R.I.P. Rip Torn
So underrated
"Jesus Artie" hahahaha love Hank
7:50 AMAZING
8:47 "You know, Lori Loughlin took my money" wow that's topical
