Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of the most interesting shows on television. Not just for the hilarious cast, insane story lines, or the pure genius of Larry David. But it does something that very few shows do, work without a script. Curb Your Enthusiasm is an improved based sit com, and until they start rolling cameras, no know knows what the other actor is going to say. It's pure Controlled Chaos.

Let us know if you thought this video was pretty, pretty, pretty good or just pretty, pretty good.
Whichever one you set the limit for :D
As long as your the voice over lol
Just pretty good.
you fucking bleeped susie fucking greene
It's good.
The show went to another level once they made Leon a reoccurring character
Gotta have a black Kramer
@@Melange2 kramer
@@guts-7210 👍
Leon is my favorite character!
It became Lampin'
I think “Susie finds out what they did and gets angry” sums up a lot of episodes.
Kind of like Ricky Ricardo.
Yes, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
@@nandoflorestan there is when I have to skip every scene she’s in cause shes so damn annoying

@@huckleberrylachow2202 that sounds like a you problem
I loved the Jon Hamm episode, his slow descent into becoming Larry, and everyone calling him Jon Hamm(ala calling Larry by his full name) instead of just Jon was pure comedic gold to me.
Him getting kicked out for being larry david Jr was the best.
Honestly think it's the funniest episode.
Larry David and Jon Hamm were the dynamic duo I never knew I needed.
@@NorthTonawanda1 the fukin social assassin, priceless
what season?
Another structural device is that Larry is in nearly every scene. He is the ringmaster in making most of the scenes work. He guides the actors even when they go off course. Very smart.
He is a good middle.
The Michael J Foxx episode had me in stitches. I was floored that Larry did something so bold and Michael completely went along with it to hilarious effect. Nobody else on TV can do the things Larry does and that's why Curb is on its own level.
Yeah MJF was incredible. Easily my favorite episode from that season. I was dyin 😂
I haven't seen that one yet, but burst out loud laughing from MJF shaking the soda bottle so it spilled all over Larry. 🤣
That's one of my favorite episodes. Then later on when Larry has the fatwa and he admits to doing those things on purpose was icing on the cake!
That and the wheelchair episodes are near perfect
It's really cool how willing people are to play very unflattering versions of themselves on it. Ricky Gervais took it further on Curb than on any of his own shows.
This show's literal perfection. Not a single bad episode.
Dang, that's a pretty high bar.... This video just convinced me to try it out.
@@dallinrichardson284 I recommend Seinfeld too, though it's certainly more "tame" than Curb.
Literally this. I have an eerily similar personality to Larry in the show to the point my family calls me larry from time to time… possibly just from watching the series 3x over haha
@@kylejarmolych protip: everyone thinks they’re Larry.
@@malapropter that makes me feel better about myself lol
Curb really doesn’t get talked about enough and Nerdstalgic did it REAL justice in this vid.
Words can't begin to describe my gratitude for Larry, Richard, Leon, and Funkhouser. Hell even Ted
Ted is so convincing when he's mad at Larry lololol
Larry David is a comedic genius and it really shines through Curb; the fact this ridiculously hilarious show is not scripted and is done by improv by all the actors present, is unbelievable and lovable.
Best live-action comedy by far
Agreed.

Ok
Just got the DVD set of seasons 1-10 yesterday ($40 eBay) !!!!!! I’ve seen so many clips, can’t wait to see all those episodes
so did u watch em all already ?
You’re gonna love it. Season 2 is the funniest season in tv history
That is quite a bargain
have you heard of HBO max?

Pretty good. Pretty, pretty good.
you forgot one more "pretty" in there...

I'm only pretty good myself
@@michaelwesten4624 yeah there's always 4 :D
During COVID it became a family tradition to gather around the TV and watch Curb. No other show can consistently have me laughing to tears with every episode!
One of the most comedically genius Curb moments was when Larry, Jeff and Ted Danson were discussing the Larry David sandwich. I was dying
Love that scene too 😂
Jeff: ….it’s got Capers
Larry: SHUT THE FCK UP
@@tw7321 white fish, sable, cream cheese, capers, onions…that is NASTY 🤣

@@jackedkerouac4414 Not to Russians It’s not.
hilarious scene 😂😂
I grew up watching Curb with my parents (they were never restrictive with media) and I love how popular its gotten in the last 5 years. This show deserves all the praise!
Your parents are cool
@@roreah no, they just had HBO
The curb meme made it blow up
I grew up watching curb with my parents, too🤣🤣
@@GrayWoIf no lol
“Sorry about your bird… the good news is I’m still alive.” Is probably the best line in the series
Edit: behind when funkhouser says Larry is his best friend
*laughs* he's not my best friend.
"Call me by sundown"
"Sundown? What are you, Gary Cooper?"
@@ApathyBM anything with Richard Lewis is going to be a treat
🤣🤣
Funkhouser really is an under appreciated character in Curb, his complete misunderstanding of shit is so hilarious
One of my top 10 favorite shows on TV.
I really need season 11. I read an article where Jeff Garlin said that Larry can only do one more season now probably because of his age. I’m glad I’ve seen it before Larry goes on, damn.
It's coming sometime end of the year. Confirmed.
Soon.
Larry isn't done yet, on April, Larry himself confirmed that season 12 is happening, it will probably come out this or next fall
I didn’t realize how improvised this show was, it seemed kinda too much at times, but it makes so much sense now knowing why it was like that. For the most part I can’t stand improve and this was so great I didn’t even notice it was basically all improve.
Holy crap what a coincidence you uploaded this today, I just started this show yesterday! I absolutely love it.
That's awesome!
I just started yesterday too lol I knew something was off about the show and am way more invested now knowing it was mostly improv.
@@snappy_. I hope both of you love it. Seriously a gut busting, hilarious, amazing show.
Larry’s a genius. He pretty much made another Seinfeld all over again. Just R rated.
Exactly how I describe it to people who havent seen it. :)
@@sole__doubt Larry made Seinfeld to reflect his own life as a comedian what it's like to be a comedian and use things in common life that then create the standup routines. In Seinfeld, Jerry looks to make a show... about himself. Twice. Then In Curb Your Enthusiasm, a show about being Larry David, Larry is now pitching a show to networks... about himself. I like all of it but damn its narcissistic, which is the point, which makes it even more narcissistic.
Plus this time George Costanza is the main character
Man I always wondered why Curb Your Enthusiasm felt like such realistic chaos
just people screaming around and fast music in the background really
The way he gets actors to play up their own popular image is the truly most genius part of CYE. :)
I love when Larry breaks character a bit and laughs but the person he's talking too still has a serious face so he gets rid of his laugh 😂
he has said that he never understood why the characters in sitcoms dont laugh when someone says something funny....
@@bill3901 professionalism I guess?
Great content as always. This really is one of the best channels on all of youtube.
This show feels the realest. The whole cast rarely feels forced. So when you see them it’s that much better.
This video was pretty, pretty, pretty good. I had recently watched the first episode, and I got bored towards the end. But watching this video just convinced me to keep watching the show for the gems that are awaiting for me.
Curb and Reno 911 are really just perfect unscripted comedies.
Reno 911 doesn't belong in the same sentence as curb your enthusiasm.
@@12345Yeah smoking crack
@@TheHalo123fan na, stop projecting
Reno 911 is actually pretty good.
The characters of Reno look tooo scripted. No resemblance to Curb in anyway.
Would’ve been even more outrageous, if Larry had sent, “Sorry about your bird. The good news is, I’m still alive” to the country club’s manager (Takahashi?), after whacking his prized swan, Kyoko
Definitely one of my favorite shows! Last season was great! Can't wait for the next one.
Such a great show
I've been workshopping this method, unaware that this is how the show is made but it makes so much more sense! Also gives me hope and reduces my anxiety over feeling like I need a full script! Great work and thank you
Curb your enthusiasm is hands down one of the greatest tv shows ever every episode makes me laugh like a lunatic
nah. you must have been watching another show. kinda weak sauce and only a handfull of episodes (in later seasons) gives the chuckles.
@@michaelwesten4624 it's not your average sit com but if it's style doesn't do it for you it's perfectly normal
@@michaelwesten4624 Someone’s got a terrible taste in shows. This series is amazing and simply one of the best.
I had the hardest time getting past the first episode, it took 4 attempt over several years, but after that I became a Curb fan and look forward to this new season. I think you did a very good job on this mini-doc .
You can definitely see them trying to find their footing in the first 3 episodes. Glad you pushed through and enjoyed this tremendous series!
So excited for this vid i love curb your enthusiasm!! so glad i subscribed since ur community vid cause its prolly my fav show nd loved all ur vids since
I recently got cable, and one of the stations has the complete series. This is comic gold. The many situations that occur in each show, make it funny throughout. I've watched them all, and will again. Genius!
What?? Another banger from Merdstalgic? This day got kids better!
God bless
@@Nerdstalgic love y’all! Sorry for the misspelling!
There is also a lot of visual comedy. I was laughing just from the b roll with no dialogue and I have only seen 1 or 2 episodes of this show. I need to watch more.
Although improvisation does play a big role, you forgot to mention that the outlines are also well written. LD has written a setup and a punchline for each scene that the actors can improvise upon; they just flow more naturally than a Seinfeld episode but the brilliance in his writing is still there, controlling his actors as puppets for his own joke. That's why I liked the early seasons of Curb more. He frequently used people who weren't really professional actors who could still pull off their improvised scenes, and that is largely indebted to how Larry wrote the outline.
yea this was a really weak video tbh he was only saying rly basic stuff :/
Interesting. Everyone I know strongly preferred later seasons. I tried to watch the first few seasons after beginning the series on season 10. Based on my laugh-o-meter, seasons 6 - current were the funniest. I think writing in the divorce of Larry and Cheryl REALLY helped.
@@denagustafson6070 I liked the earlier seasons because of the utterly absurd plotlines namely the Jason Alexander show, the Mel Brooks play, the Richard Lewis needs a kidney, the Seinfeld reunion, the Black family, and even though they were ridiculous, the humor wasn't ham-fisted. The humor in the newer seasons 9-11 seem forced, like Larry David becoming a parody of himself.
@@jayvenebeatbox5375 Mel Gibson? 🤦🏻♂️ Ooooffff. It’s Mel BROOKS!
Any way I ca get access to the original screenplays? Have been struggling with that.
Larry venting his spleen at Siri in the new series is a gift to us all
I've only been able to bring myself to watch about 5 episodes, but I did pick up on this. The delivery is so natural and reminiscent of actual human conversations, I figured that there must be improv going on.
The video was excellent. I was already aware of all this, and that's why I have a super-appreciation of Curb. Larry has cultivated this rich environment where everyone has an opportunity to contribute ideas through the open ended un-fully defined dialogue process. There's a feeling of spontaneity that I just love. I book marked this. Will share with others soon. Thanks for the video,
you nailed it.
Great, now I have to rewatch the entire series, thanks
This show is concrete proof Larry carried Seinfeld on his back
Coming from a big Seinfeld fan, Last 2 seasons without him (LD) are garbage imo, track laughs all over the place, it became another "friends", just another 4 morons whining about their dates as George or LD described it
@@moe6 Really? I think the last season was alright
I liked seasons 8 and 9
Nah, if you watch enough documentaries or all the commentaries for the dvd set you learn all the seasons with Larry....he definitely had a team of tremendous writers who were mostly gone by the time they did the last couple seasons after Larry left. Jerry included, but Jerry kinda needed all those other supporting writers. And of course, the cast was perfection. Larry definitely did not carry that show. There was a lot of unsung heroes that helped make that show great
Curb is a million times better than Seinfeld. Seinfeld is just annoying compared to Curb.
DOOOOPE video man!!! Your essay was ON POINT, and eloquently put.
This is brilliant. I’ve been a Curb fan for years but wasn’t aware of all these little facts. It made me appreciate and love this show even more
Larry david is straight up a modern day genius curb is one my favorite shows of all time🔥 i didn't know the show didn't exactly have a script for every line. this is amazing😻
Curb is brilliant. The improvisation approach allows all the actors to be involved in the writing of each scene.
Your timing's always so good. Holy crap. I just rewatched some episodes yesterday.
Thank you. Been watching curb, on and off. Really enjoy watching you content.
Thank you! Really appreciate it.
I just started rewatching yesterday! Good timing.
That message at the end about putting yourself into your art. Beautiful haha you have quite the way with words my friend
Any episode with J B Smoov is comic genius.
Didn’t know any of this. Thank you. It adds so much to the show.
My FAVORITE! I love this show! Between this and It’s Always Sunny it has so much rewatch value
Me too. I love both shows.
Same both shows always make me laugh even rewatching them which is rare to continue laughing after you know what to expect. Larry and Leon are brilliant
Gotta make a video about 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'
2:37 I am absolutely in love with that scene!
Larry David and cast are truly awesome. Love the series.
Great video! Such an awesome take on Curb.
Damn, hit us with those words of wisdom at the end. Great life advice about passion, art and individuality. And great video.
Such a great message and breakdown, great work!
I Love this show i think what makes curb so special is that it works without one, Larry David go through these situations make it both funny and relatable! And the fact that the actors are improving makes it unbelievable and hilarious because you wonder what there gonna say next!
I've always loved Curb because watching you can feel David using comedy as art, to dissect life. Some sitcoms are just to cram jokes in, Curb feels like that is secondary. Doesn't mean it's not hilarious, but you can tell it's a genius at work.
great video, and what perfect timing- just finished watching this show the other day
i instantly liked and subscribed, this was an incredible analysis and i’m excited to watch more of your videos!!
This left me oddly and unexpectedly inspired. Nice!
I would sneak-watch this show late at night, as a child, and it shaped a lot of the humour that became my adult self. The last season was amazing and I want to go back and watch it from the beginning as an adult.
Really loved your message at the end there, thank you so much
My favorite all-time scene was when Larry set the pickle jar diversion in the hotel, and still fell prey to it himself.
Pickle jar diversion? Hmm.. i would like to find this.
@Nerdstalgic - You’re explanation as to why Curb works without a script, is absolutely spot on. And, your explanation also explains why Curb is one of my Favorite Shows/Series of All Time. Also, in my opinion I also think Curb is one of the Greatest Shows/Series of All Time as well.
This video was pretty...pretty... pretty good! This was a great breakdown of how the show is made I really enjoyed watching this even as a longtime fan
Good vid man as always from nerdstalgic
One of my favorites, really glad you talked about it one of my favorite episodes is about the two Larry David's.Can't wait for the next season. Pretty pretty good
So basically Seinfeld should be kissing the floor Larry David walks on to thank him for most of his success. Gotcha
i still cant believe how they manage to knock it out of the park with every single episode, season after season after season....
Easily the more imaginative , crazy and hilarious sitcom/comedy show we've ever seen. The spontaneity is addictive, and becomes cringe-worthy as people guess how the characters should/would/ eventually react . It's everyman with outrageous commentary on real human nature, what we think, and what we feel, with most of us concurring with the results, but too reticent to do and say the same things in real life. I think the Honeymooners comes closest to true imaginative unscripted comedy- as that wonderful show was filmed LIVE with no second chances!
This was incredible!! My favorite show ever!!
You've gotta be pretty damn smart to be able to just improv like this. And making it funny is another story. Its brilliant!
Lol, I've just finished the entire series, cant wait for the next season, I love this show so much
Wow. Thank you for making this.
the fact that when i was watching it for the first time i went "the writing in this is so well written, they just talk like normal people would"
Thank you so much for making this video for us! I’ve wondered how Curb happens! For me, it’s pretty pretty pretty good!!
This is a great show! I agree with Larry’s perspective on most of the things he remarks on in this show 😂
Awesome critic analysis ! Great Video!
One of my favorite live action comedy show. Relatable.
This is one of my favorite shows of all time!
Hey it’s my favorite show! Excited to see it get recognition.
Brilliant breakdown, thank you!
Great Disourse! Some of the BEST Comedy ever performed on earth.🏆🏆🏆
Great video. You should do Bojack Horseman next.❤
Great suggestion!
100% this !!!
So many of the shots you show in the background just make me laugh from their acting, without even hearing the dialogue
absolutely amazing video man.
One of the most wonderful things about having HBO Max is having access to all 10 seasons. I've watched the newest three seasons over the course of the last month or so, it's just the perfect show to watch when you just want to unwind
Always loved Curb and dare I say I’ve always found it way better than Seinfeld..
Way better. Seinfeld was great because of Larry David.
Curb is even BETTER because no Jerry Seinfeld.
That dude is a hack. He's been doing the same act for 30 years.
Larry is a legend. Jerry is an over paid hack.
@@bobo42024 Totally agree dude! - You just said what I didn’t have balls to say! Jerry Seinfeld is indeed overrated AF.
I’ll await the backlash from all the comedy snobs who still views Seinfeld as the pinnacle of sitcoms (which I will never understand).
Jerry was actually the weakest member of the gang in Seinfeld.
@@GrayWoIf Very true. Just look at what Jerry did after the show ended. Bee Movie, more 80s-type stand up, and the car show...meanwhile, LD created an entirely new series that is arguably better than Seinfeld ever was. Not to mention, Jerry comes off as a self-absorbed ass in every interview he does, while Larry doesn't really act like he's above other people.
Seinfeld has canned laughter which ruins it for me. I gave it a good chance, I watched every single episode and found it funny maybe four times over the whole catalogue.. Whereas every episode of curb is funny IMO.
Larry and Jeff's buddy act in Curb is so cool, you can't help but wish for a friend like Jeff.
The unscripted nature of Curb makes sense, as many character’s lines (especially Cheryl’s) sound as if they’re wracking their brains, trying to come up with something. It's awesome. Cheryl has quite a few moments: “There’s something... strange...happening.” “It’s a divorce, so... start... packin’ up... ‘cause you’re movin’ out.” I love Larry’s unapologetic quip to Heidi about “the sorry window”. It’s got to be the most Costanza argument that wasn't attributed to Costanza himself
great video, thank you!
The editing is something else here.
I didn't know it has no script. Amazing Amazing Work
Awesome video!!
