@@robertomunoz2395 it's a great character, it's probable that you're just racist
@@robertomunoz2395Really? I mean he’s a bum but he is actually one of the realest friends Larry has besides Jeff, I like to think of it as Larry actually relating to someone who wasn’t always rich and successful. He hasn’t grown on you at all?
He was kind of annoying at first. I think it was only after his family dumped Larry and he just kept living there that he became funny.
@@abeartheycallFozzyagree, he was cringe to me at first, but really grew as a character over time imo
The best is Jeff screaming "ya got a fKin fatwa".
mizzou192003 lol you are right! I think that's why it's extra hilarious.
So David Wallace landed a position in the FBI. Big change from being CFO of a paper company

That was Salman rushdie the guy who actually got fatwad by the ayatollah
Major props to Larry David actually getting himself fatwa'ed for this season's story. Now that's commitment to a role!
"Produce One Chapter Like It The Miraculous Inimitability of the Qur’ān’s Shortest Chapter"
The Qur'ān presents a challenge to humanity to produce one chapter like it. Its shortest chapter, Al-Kawthar, displays a remarkable frequency of linguistic devices and literary features, and it expresses maximal meaning within a unique structure. Informed by both Islamic and Western scholarship, this essay aims to showcase the Qur’ān’s miraculous literary and linguistic inimitability by analysing its smallest chapter. It also addresses key objections.
Here is a challenge. Take ten words in any language, formulated into three lines or verses, and add any preposition or linguistic particle you see fit. Produce at least twenty-seven rhetorical devices and literary features. At the same time, ensure it has a unique structure, is timelessly meaningful, and relates to themes within a book that it is part of - the size of the which is over seventy-thousand words. Make sure four of its words are unique and never used again in the book. Ensure each line or verse ends with a rhyme, created by words with the most optimal meanings. Make sure that these words are used only once in the three lines, and not used anywhere else in the book. Ensure that the three lines concisely and eloquently semantically mirror the chapter before it, and they must formulate a profound response to an unplanned set of circumstances. You must use ten letters in each line and ten letters only once in the entire three lines. Throughout the whole piece, make sure you produce a semantically oriented rhythm, without sacrificing any meaning. Do all of the above publicly in one attempt, without revision or amendment, in absence of any formal training in eloquence and rhetoric.
Impossible as the above may seem, this is exactly what the Qur’ān achieved in its shortest chapter, Al-Kawthar (The Abundance); and it was expressed through Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who was not known to have composed any poetry nor cultivated any special rhetorical skills.

As an Iranian unfortunately that's the best Iranian impression I have ever seen.
Whenever someone tries to do an Iranian impression, it ends up looking like an Arab impression or the guy is saying some Farsi gibberish with a really thick American accent.
PurpleRose7777 he’s not talking about the guy on TV, you idiot, that’s the actual Ayatollah.
Wouldn't bad farsi with an American accent be a pretty decent version? There's not enough fake English out there. I want this perspective outside of Australian accents

I didn't disparage! There was no disparage!
@@craiginducci7661 I told Leon! I said "You gotta get this message to him!"
Everything about this scene just works for me, the line delivery, the set ups, the punchlines, all just make me die every time. Love this show.
Sadly this episode didn't quite age as well as we thought. It was last August that Salmon Rushdie was attacked by a Muslim fanatic who stabbed him - he lost sight in one eye and one of his hands is pretty much useless.
It aged just fine, Nancy. Muslims have been murdering people for trivial shit for a long time.
@@jamesrawlins735I don’t see how that event makes this episode age poorly

And Allah knows best ......
There's a scene in the episode where Rushdie tells Larry not to worry about fatwa - he wasn't worried anymore - and you had the benefit of fatwa sex. I can guarantee that Larry probably wouldn't have written this episode if he knew that this would happen years later.@SunnyDaze-uq8ed
I’ll convert!!! Even if Larry David converts.....😂😂😂😂😁
I love how with every solution Larry comes up with, the ayatollah shoots it down on the news. The writing is epic. That disguise makes Larry look like an older version of the one kid from The Wonder Years. Lol
Love how you can just make out "Larry David" during his whole speech😂😂
He said Seinfeld as well one time. It took me about 4 viewings before I heard it.
Ashjuhgvt fafrgrbyj LARRY DAVID sdhdsgrhhedefwg LARRY DAVID fhdsgjgdscbkdssfghygjh DAVID Sgjjdagjkfcvsfvfdsfg LARRY
“Even if Larry David converts to Islam ☪️ , he should still be sent to hell.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the Ayatolla guy, haha. I thought this is probably the funniest episode ever, so many laughs, so many targets.
Larry has learned somewhere along the way that the way he says "what the fuck?" is really, really, REALLY funny. I greatly approve of the fact that he says it at least once in every episode.
Shplendid! You aware that people say Shplendid at least twice every day in their life, aren’t you?
I love how visibly near laughter Jeff is when he says "I begged you not to imitate the ayatollah"
As an Iranian this is fucking hilarious to me. The actor portraying the Ayatollah nailed it in the beginning but later on when he started hitting the table he kinda lost his touch.
No Sturgeon its not the ayatullah. you really think the filmed him saying: seinfeld and larry david? lol
Husam Sibai pretty easy to
do a voiceover. They could've used real footage and got a persian guy to do a voice over and say Larry David.
Lmfao look again, this isn't Khamenei. They even used another name, no point in doing that if they're doing a perfect voice-over.
That's not the real ayatollah, dumbass. Just look up Ayatollah Khamenei on Google Images & compare him to the guy in the video.
So what makes Larry David unique and singularly brilliant is that he can come up with a story like this and execute it beautifully. But Larry pretending to speak Arabic before turning to Jeff and saying, "I'm doing Spanish it sounds like". _That_ is the bit that tips him into genius.
Farsi, but that’s not the point, the fact that Larry comments on his impersonation at 01:52 is funny
I was reading your comment right before the scene and it cracked me up
The line delivery of ‘nothing compares to my dead parakeet’ is pretty good
I am Muslim and I friggin' love LD and Jerry Seinfeld ..May Allah bless those funny Jews
why would Allah bless people he has cursed in this world and the hereafter ?
Big Mofo I am sure you are a lot of fun to be around ...When Americans bashing Liberalism in the U.S ..this is hilarious
XGameshoundX you know asking someone something like that yo prove anything is stupid ,Muslim or not they could easily just search it up online
I love how Suzy is busy cursing the lady in the background
"You got a fucking fatwa!"
"I got a fatwa!"
"You got fatwa'ed!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!"
LMAO
How the writers pulled this storyline off without any major repercussions (as far as I am aware) is incredible. Hopefully the subtle message behind the episode will get through to people. #
No major repercussions at all except of course Salman Rushdie losing the use of a hand and an eye in a stabbing attack.
Man as a Muslim man….. I died laughing here until my tears came out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am not Muslim but I appreciate your ability to find the humour. Have a good night
It all comes together later, when the Fatwa Inspector comes around to investigate Larry, by checking with all his friends and associates, on how horrible a person he is.
This hits so different when Salman Rushdie nearly got killed
Let's hope it stays "nearly".
He reportedly had a pulse and it didn't look like they were rushing him super fast to the copter, so maybe that's good news.
“I’ll convert! I’ll BECOME A MUSLIM! 🤣🤣🤣”
I’m Muslim, this was funny AF
Youssef Helmy bro keep your guard up. I enjoy this show but the majority of this clip is mocking Islam and Muslims. These people hate us
@@joshrentos216 they're mocking muslims that want to kill people who mock muslims. I hope that's not a large part of all muslims. And it's kinda interesting, they're mocking you only if you take offense to this kind of comedy, so if you can take a joke then they are not making fun of you
@@joshrentos216 They dislike only those who preach violence and terrorism in the name of your god. They don't hate every Muslim.
@@joshrentos216Nah... Nobody is mocking Islam. Part of the joke is that Larry makes everybody mad at him.
One of my favorite episodes 😄 I love how they didn’t miss a beat after coming back on air 👏
Is this how Mia Khalifa felt?

I don't know about the Fatwa....but I can tell you one thing, mankind's greatest creation is Larry David!

lol. An actual Muslim fundamentalist. I know you Keksi. Crazy fundie.
Oh Ricky Spanish you fucking moron hahahaha. You suck at sarcasm so bad it hurts.
Seto Kaiba hes not a Muslim fundamentalists you moron. God your not even worth an explanation
I love how Jeff is just as much a guardian as a manager to Larry😂
Salman gets Fatwa'ed. Get well soon, Salman.
This is the best Larry David skit ever. Best scene in curb your enthusiasm ever
I am from Irán. This is funny because it's true. A lot of ayatollahs actually have weird fetishes in women 😂😂😂
I don't understand the opinion that this storyline didn't age well. It actually aged extremely well, because freedom of speech is as relevant as ever. The attempted murder of Rushdie is proof of that, as tragic and horrible as it is.
calling a black man a 'N' word and lets see what happens to ur freedom of speech!
We awe agents of fwee expwession!!! They wiww nevew siwence us!!! Kudos to anyone who gets the reference
I love his face the first time the camera reveals him in disguise. the pure horror and self-pity in his face 😂
crazy how this actually just played out. Wish Rush a good recovery, esp since I cant help but smile a little when I inject it into the curb universe, but ya...f'ed up.
what the fuck, is right.... poor Salman
Im Iranian and i approve this message 😂😂😂 larry rocks
you have to be Iranian to get the most out of this scene. he is a fucking genius!
Hit's different when you're from Iran 🤣🤣🤣
I haven't watched the series yet but keep coming back to this and laugh my lungs out.=)))
Jeff should have asked “Am I okay in the way that he’s okay... or in a different way?”.
Larry David is the all-time best person at saying "WHAT THE FUCK!"
The change in Richard's demeanour as soon as the dead parakeet comes up 😂
Really really LMAO so hard with this episode. Never get tired of watching Curb. Brilliant!
"Fatwa by association" god my sides 😂
Mashalanhonarmandibesmen Larry David, shoyadunibeshtosinazimbaromeyay Seinfeld.
Thank you for hiring someone who actually speaks farsi to do this bit!
Blah blah blah blah, Larry David, blah blah blah blah, Seinfeld.
"Celebrities like larry david, you may know him from a show called seinfeld"
i'm iranian, thats the translation :D
@@redphantom2670 So the whole scene was accurate? I'd love to hear what else the Ayatollah said in translation. XD
@@shaniatreyu9303 I could'nt hear the whole thing cause of loud translator but the part that i picked up the english translator was pretty accurate, it's good that they didn't just say gibberish words instead of persian, also the guy's accent was spot on i'm sure he's iranian too :D.
How serious he is at the end about his dead parakeet was the funniest shit ever....lol
They got Salman Rushdie yesterday. Stabbed him on stage. This funny video is more relevant now. It makes me laugh every time I watch it.
LMBAO!!! Oh my goddess I damn near choked on my tea. I have tea running out my nose laughing so hard. Leave it up to Larry to go there.
As an Iranian, I found this super hilarious 😄
Thank you for not terrorism me. You are justice. I am have Covid are die soon.
Richard Lewis looks like he's wearing his own shroud.
I remember watching this when it came out and couldn't believe the storyline he'd gone with to bring the show back after a long hiatus.
It was worth the wait
That "what the fuck" sounds so real, like he actually had a fatwa issued against him.
Considering Salman Rushdie just got stabbed in the neck because he had a fatwa on him makes this much less amusing now
The best "OMG, WTF!" & "WHA?!" lines I've ever heard 🤣🤣🤣
So glad Leon is back!!Fatwa by association!! bahahaha!!
I completely forgot how hilariously ridiculous this show was 🤣
'There's no disparage!'
Love how he desperately blurts that out xD
Love how it ends on “Nothing compares to my dead parakeet.”
This episode is ringing a stark note today
"Blah blah blah Larry David....sounds like I'm talking Spanish now."😂😂😂
OMG, I am dying of laughter! I wasn't expecting this - so hilarious. Nobody can mess with the Ayatola.
"I already called the Jimmy Kimmel show; they want nothing to do with you" LOL
I love how 'keep calm and carry on' Larry is about the whole ordeal.
Everyone is so politically correct it's so gr8 that Larry David has the balls to go "there" n make ppl laugh. Larry David is a genius!!! Lmao fatwa..
Harold Marquez I will sacrifice my first born if it means no one uses the term "political correct" and "SJW" anymore
OntheFront sacrifice your firstb-.....you're joking, right? If not, I myself wouldn't ever even go that far
Onesufi johhnybgood
Dude seriously?! Ur poor excuse 4 a human being 4 using a racist slur. U miss the point.
Did anyone notice Suzi yelling at the "foisted" secretary in the background. Ha ha!
I think the most underrated joke about this is how Jeff is freaking out and one of her closest friends is getting fatwaed on national TV and yet, the most important thing happening to Susie is to argue with the maid in the background. Hilarious!
"You know what the good news is, I'm still alive".
Come on Larry, you gotta admit it was funny.
Larrry, As an Iranian person I like you very much. So funny.
Up till 2 days ago the comment section was much different!!
"I'll repent"
*Even if he repents*
"I'll convert, I'll become a Muslim."
*Even if he converts*
😂
Who's here after Rushdie got fatwa'd in NYC
3:23 “Nothing compares to my dead parakeet.” I concur. Parakeets are great!
Great clip. Larry speaking fake Spanish at 1:45 was the highlight.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO AN IMPERSONATION OF THE IOTOLA"
"NO YOU DIDNT!"
"I TOLD LEON...."
😂😂😂😂😂
"quick question: what about .. friends.. and associates.." hahaha oh jeff
I laugh out loud.
love from Iran
"You know what the good news is? I'm still alive" Sincerely, Rich
I love this plotline because it’s actually feasible
I'd like to declare a Fatwa on people who don't know about Larry David or never heard of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The irony would be if the Ayatollah did in real life issue a fatwa for Larry David for even insinuating that they would have issued a fatwa for Larry David in a tv show.
Forget meditation, I start my day with a scene from Curb and LMAO. This is one of the best!
The Ayatollah knew what kind of person Larry is so well he predicted every way he would try to get out of the fatwa.
Probably because George from Seinfeld is based on Larry
