So much respect for Michael J Fox. He's never lost his sense of humour despite everything he's been through. A true inspiration to the indomitable human attitude.
You know, the very first movie Michael J. Fox was in that I ever saw was Stuart Little, where he voiced the title character. He did such a fantastic job in that role, in spite of what he's been going through!
@@sexobscura That's not what the original commenter was driving at. His point is that MJ Fox is modest and accepting enough of his state to actually make comedy out of it.
My dad got Parkinson, he is highly depressed.. I took a shot in the dark and showed him this video, unsure on how he would react. It was a success, he was actually shaking from laughter!
Sorry to hear about your Dad. Parkinson's is a truly terrible affliction. I'm a medicinal chemist, and I used to do research on Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. What medications is your Dad taking ? How long ago was he diagnosed ? The depression emerges from the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the brain, and dopamine is the neurochemical responsible associated with concentration, attention and a range of emotions, often happiness or, even euphoria. But when those neurons degrade the dopamine ligand has fewer places to bind to, to elicit the stimulatory response. Hence the excitatory neurotransmitters become less impactful on mood, and depression is a common symptom. It's a real bastard of a disease. Similar to Alzheimer's in the way it destroys brain tissue. There are new chemicals being researched that are available for Parkinson's, although in most cases they are off label or haven't been approved for Parkinson's (but for other conditions, unrelated to that disease), and yet are still shown to be effective in reducing symptoms in some people, according to the medical literature. So if you tell me his medications, if you know them, I can possibly recommend some others; some medications which are the first line treatment currently, are useful, but others aren't, and can actually exacerbate certain symptoms. It's worth looking into. You can adjust specific medications to provide specific symptomatic relief.
First, "I don't get it" is not a question. Second, Michael J. Fox's most famous movie is Back to the Future, which came out in 1985. Larry is talking about watching that movie in 1985. Michael then makes a joke about travelling in time to 1985, which is what he did in the movie.
Biggest indication that Michael J. Fox purposely shook that bottle of soda: He immediately went to get a paper towel knowing that the moment Larry David opens the bottle there would soda everywhere (2:05).
The segue from pouring milk for coffee… it’s those details that make this show. You could make that milkshake joke in isolation and it would be funny, but nowhere near as good as when you have a natural lead-in.
Definitely my favorite, and he was hilarious on Family Ties as well. Awesome to see his condition hasn't reduced his sense of humor, he probably appreciates humor more than ever.
@@MaccTonight Shut up American. It's "humour". The United States didn't invent the English language so you don't get to dictate it's linguistics. You want your own language so bad then invent one called 'Merican where you can come up with all sorts of terms for shooting up a school, having sex with your cousin and living in a trailer park. Until then speak English the way it was meant to be spoken.
Totally. He Is an Actor. No matter what, that who he is, talented, thoughtful,caring and brilliant human being and actor! This all cant be taken away by anything. And that's most important
Michael J. Fox is the best in this episode. In spite of everything he’s gone through, he’s never lost his sense of humor, or his ability to make people laugh.
Only Larry David could pull that off. Hats off to Michael for playing along brilliantly. Love Leon’s remarks. Lmao. Priceless Curb is so intelligent viewing
"I'm a head shaking fool." Michael you're a mess! I have the utmost respect for you and the way you've allowed us to experience your journey with Parkinson's and your tireless efforts with your advocacy for research towards a possible cure. You show the world how to be a great human being! I've been a fan since your days on Family Ties but my respect for you has advanced so much farther than to be simply a fan. I hope what you believe about "5 years from now" comes to fruition and you are the first to benefit.
I already thought Michael J. Fox was the man, just based off the movies from my childhood but... Man, this scene really made me appreciate him so much more as a human being.
0:06 "I'm not gonna lie to you"....is Mike Fox the one that poularized this phrase? Now i hear it ALL THE TIME from youngsters on the internet. Too much actually.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 Wheat bugs???? There's no chance of that happening to a damn box of wheat thins you put in a pantry. I've been eating wheat based products my whole life, and I've never even heard of wheat bugs being a thing to worry about. There ain't no bugs that are going to get in to your box of crackers.
Michael J Fox really cemented his role as a comedy icon with this performance. That complete lack of self-consciousness and willingness to go for the funniest bit is extraordinary.
Omg...1st of props to Michael for making light of a horrible condition...and when Larry opened that soda I literally laughed out loud so hard!!! Well done...also,never thought I'd hear Marty say f*ck.....well done
I can be a selfish person. In saying that, just SEEING Michael J. Fox in ANY capacity in a series or movie...he can talk, but only if he wants, not talk, rif, improvise....I just don't want him to stop doing what he loves. Like ever. I've said my piece. I enjoy hearing him speak and his personality is still solid as a rock. Just like he is and that wonderful family of his. xoxo
Amazing, good on Michael. The other 2 were on the verge of cracking multiple times though, you could see it in their face, having seen bloopers from Curb though, it's hardly surprising.
Just watched "Still" Michael's movie about his life and thoroughly recommend it. This is one of my favourite Curb episodes ever and I'm so glad Larry had this idea
This strikes a chord with me because I have Parkinson's and kept my sense of humor like Michael.. I even pranked my neurosurgeon after he totally fixed my Tremors using painless sound waves. Miracle surgery. Check out Tremor Documentary 2022!
MJF probably felt great to be included in being on Curb Your Enthusiasm. I can't imagine dealing with his health challenges, and then not being able to do what he enjoys, loves and is great at. Comedy and acting. This EP is EPIC!
@@Video-Games-Are-Fun Many of those cast members didn’t turn it into a big film career, Luke Perry a prime example. He should’ve been what Leo DiCaprio is.
Larry is hilarious. Much love to Michael J Fox. He is a badass the way he handles Parkinson's. Edit: There was a comment below basically - what's the big deal about MJF lots of people have illnesses. As one of those people it is inspiring to see public displays of people being courageous and not losing their personality to their illness.
These are 2 guys that really make me laugh!! I'll always watch them. They rock!! Kudos to Michael for allowing his parkinson's to be the butt of a joke. Always good to satire yourself!!
Hahaha, I detect a grin on MJF's face as he walks to the sink after "Parkinson's...." also hilarious that Larry doesn't think to tap the cap a few times/open the bottle very slowly after the hand that gives him the soda is clearly shaking.

he's the man for making a bit out of this.

Would you consider CBD oil ? It helped with depression alot.
I'll be back in two shakes that was hilarious
@Dr. Loomis 😂🤣
@Dr. Loomis Erm yeah.
Dr. Loomis yes
Yeah, but... it's still sad he has the disease...
lol I didn't even catch that
Michael still has perfect delivery and comedic timing. He's an icon
I won't disagree. Yet, a lot of great actors have had to do more than one take of their scenes for a variety of reasons.
He's hilarious in the Good Wife. Plays a lawyer who uses his disability to manipulate juries and judges to win cases.
“Back in two shakes!” 😂 omg
He’s one of the greats,I miss seeing him onscreen. That “Parkinson’s” line was delivered impeccably
That’s hysterical I gotta watch that
"This is getting into time travel.. This is getting weird."
AHAHAHAHAHAHAh
He should have said heavy
I don’t get it?
@@erikmartinez261 Michael J Fox's biggest role was the movie Back To The Future, where his character travels through time.

Michael still sounds like hes a 17 year old it's great
Comes with being 5'4"
Biggest indication that Michael J. Fox purposely shook that bottle of soda: He immediately went to get a paper towel knowing that the moment Larry David opens the bottle there would soda everywhere (2:05).
OR perhaps that just indicates this always happens because of the Parkinson’s?
...nah, he shook that up just “a bit” 😂
"Mr. Fox... Did you embellish the shaking of the soda?" - "...yeah."
@Jacob Levy he admits he purposely shook it on season 9 ep 8
It was on purpose because Parkinson’s tremor only happens when your hands aren’t doing anything.
Haha! That was the first thing I thought too! He was already headed straight, and going for that roll before his back was even turned!
“What’s your father doing on the cover?”
“Well he’s the furher now.”
LMAO
Lol "I just wanted to know what he looks like with a Hitler mustache"
"He looks like Hitler, mystery solved"
yep .. underrated that line
"And also... WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" *sucker punched Larry and runs away*
"You hand that man a carton of fuckin' milk, guess what? It's gonna be a fuckin' milkshake!"
Leon rules.
@ 1:02 "I'll be back in TWO SHAKES.", ...OMG, HILARIOUS!
It’s be funnier if you he said “butter.”
The segue from pouring milk for coffee… it’s those details that make this show. You could make that milkshake joke in isolation and it would be funny, but nowhere near as good as when you have a natural lead-in.
Michael J Fox is probably the funniest guest the show’s ever had. Between the self deprecation and utterly dominating Larry, he was a riot
Definitely my favorite, and he was hilarious on Family Ties as well. Awesome to see his condition hasn't reduced his sense of humor, he probably appreciates humor more than ever.
Michael J Fox in The Good Wife is just amazing.
I love Michael J. but Richard Lewis is my favorite guest on the show.
He’s is sorta annoying leaving the Parkinson’s aside. A bit of riding on his high horse.

He was reaching for the paper towels while it exploded! That wasn't a Parkinson's shake!
JoesTheShow him reaching for the paper towels was Parkinson's too.. 🤔
He's ready for it. It happens every time he hands someone a soda
I knew it wasn't a Parkinson's shake!
1:58 He was not shaking at all when I took the bottle from the fridge soooooooooooooo……… I love his sense of humour.
JoesTheShow He did it on purpose, and by the way Charlie Chaplin wore that mustache before we knew who Hitler, but Hitler did ruin it!
1:23 the delivery of this is absolutely incredible. Michaels delivery and timing is still on point and he never lost it.
Lmfao “wtf!!!” Haha
Makes it all the more tragic that he got this disease so young cuz he would still have a show of some kind if he was healthier
1:03 "I'll be back in two shakes."
I love the allusion to Back To The Future without even mentioning it.
This remains one of the single best "what the fuck?!s ever recorded.
It’s perfect
I love MJF already grabbing the paper towel before Larry opened the bottle lmao
I thought I was the only one who noticed that! He totally had that ready to go, lol
2:17 Michael's grin as he glances back at the drenched Larry is perfection

Agreed
He's amazing
@@Highlander1432 And the first movie I ever saw-- er... HEARD him in was Stuart Little. He gave such a fantastic vocal performance as Stuart.
Even though its been years since his prime and suffering from Parkinsons Micheal J Fox still looks damn good..
Dude demystifies a serious disease like it's a normal Tuesday afternoon. Humor is one of the most valuable things we still have.
MJF was already pulling out some paper towels before Larry opened the drink 🤣
Only Larry David could pull that off. Hats off to Michael for playing along brilliantly.
Love Leon’s remarks. Lmao. Priceless
Curb is so intelligent viewing
larrys usually right but it is kinda disrespectful to doodle on a magazine thats not yours
Haha, he "doodled" on a magazine. 💩
“Oh I was just drawing a hitler mustache” 😂😂😂 why is this the most relatable show I’ve ever seen
This is why I love Leon. He's not a yes man and will only side with Larry if he actually agrees with him.
but mj fox admitted he did it on purpose to the fatwa investigator. lols

he grew up in a 3 story walk-up, not far from where i lived in Burnaby, Bc, very humble beginng
0:23 "I'm a head shakin fool" that line is so funny to me 😂
Stood right behind Michael J. Fox in the aisle of a Broadway show a few years ago. Didn't say a word to him, but it was such a thrill.

Wheat crackers with seasoning. They're actually really good.

That's actually his father in law, by the way. Guy's a respected financial consultant and author.
This is genius how they worked in Michael's parkinsons into the story!
I don't think they have enough lights on in this room.
“Hand him milk he’ll shake it up to a milkshake”🤣😂
“Micheal J Fox is about to become Micheal J F’ed up!” Is one of the best lines delivered by Leon…

Making Rush Limbaugh’s point...
Larry David, the greatest comedic genius of all times and spaces
Even worth to travel back in time for?
@@okamijubei no doubt :)
Definitely one of them...
I don't care if Michael J fox has Parkinson's I want to see in the movies right now today he's awesome.
he had is own tv show got cancelled nobody watched it.
I watched it. It was pretty funny

Michael J Fox really cemented his role as a comedy icon with this performance. That complete lack of self-consciousness and willingness to go for the funniest bit is extraordinary.
I'm pretty sure it was cemented WAY before this show.
You know, Fox shook that soda pop on purpose - that was not Parkinsons. And Larry, no doubt, had it coming. Respect.

Usually I'm on LD's side on these things he does, but maybe not draw a Hitler mustache on other people's magazines. Just saying.
I'm certain, I'm not the only one who thinks Michael J Fox is still super cute.
He is gorgeous. I say that as a straight Man
Now I can see how Seinfeld practically wrote itself.
