Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of the last comedies to not give a shit about anything, it will be dearly missed. And the genius of Larry David and the improvised spontaneity of everyone makes it one of a kind!
The last? Nah. It's Always Sunny just off the top of my head. And there's other comedies that are doing fine. We have to stop with this narrative that "PC culture" has ruined things. That's ridiculous. You can do anything in comedy except one thing. Hate for hate sake.
@@Magdalena8008s I said “one of the last” It’s Always Sunny, surprised how they got Cranston and Paul last season. The Nightman Cometh, A Very Sunny Christmas, some of the best episodes.
"The Nanny From Hell" is also up there for me. Susie talking so nicely to Larry and you, the viewer, is wondering, "why is she being so nice after all of this?" And then the payoff with the sponge cakes being what saved her life was just brilliant.
Man, I remember 20 years ago, my elder sister telling the whole family about how good this “new Seinfeld show” is. She talked about the ending to “The Doll.”
Literally on my first watch of this show I was like “yeah this is alright I don’t see what all the rave is about though” got to this episode and fucking died laughing show had me hooked at that point and it just got better
I personally think the best episode is the Interior Decorator. The writing is so perfect. The way every scenario links together feels flawless. The bad finger, the holding the door at the elevator only to be blocked off in the hall by that same person. The whole mix up with the car park attendants, the fight with the interior decorator...flawless.
Man this episode pissed me off😂 , like the friend had her number and wouldn’t give it to larry 😭. I kept yelling at my tv “give the guy the darn number u heard her call his phone” 😂😂😂
I love that in every episode this happens Susie:”oh hey, Larr” Larry does something to piss her off Susie:”Get the fuck outta my house” The next day Susie:”oh hey, Larr”
I was hooked from Season 1 Episode 1... but my favorite episode is The Larry David Sandwich... You don't know who your parents are? I know they're not those nuts! Best line ever! 🤣🤣🤣
That is exactly what made Seinfeld so amazing. You have to keep track of EVERYTHING. Try explaining an episode of Seinfeld to someone who has never seen it.
This final season, so far, has been the best season since like S9 in my opinion .. hope it continues to be great and goes out with a bang, because it will dearly missed and widely considered to be one of the best comedy series ever created
I agree dude. It’s been getting controversial reviews but he’s been giving us some excellent final season moments. JJ Wentworth and the fish have been amazing
I agree the final season is the best since s9, I am even watching it the second time. The previous 2 were one off watch for me, especially the last half of the previous season was straight unwatchable for me.
There’s a slight misconception about being “improvised” shows. They have scripts or at least a general layout of one. During a take, if someone says something good, the following takes will include that dialogue, and they’ll build on it. It’s not like they say something on the fly in one take, and it makes the show. They’ll rehearse it dozens of times. It’s still great, but I hate when they call shows improvs.
One of the show's original executive producers and directors (Robert D. Weide) was once asked why they decided to make the show semi-improvised. He replied that Larry simply didn't like writing dialogue.
I love the Rat Dog episode. The best episodes are the ones where he really brings it all together at the end and you can't see it all happening. A lot of the time it's a lot of random stuff that he's written down in his notebook but don't really amount to anything. It is an uneven show but even the worst episodes usually have something to recommend them, which is more than you can say for most TV series.
You're missing out, Larry David's presence is all over Seinfeld. Not fan of the laugh track myself, but willing to overlook because of the shows quality
Great analysis. I think 'Beloved Aunt' from season one was the first true Curb episode when it comes to woven elements all balancing perfectly in the narrative. Season Two is no doubt the most comprehensively excellent overall for sure though.
Think you're pretty spot on with the best episodes of the show, however two of the newer episodes I think deserve a mention are "A Disturbance In The Kitchen" and "The Shucker".
2Things: ABC exec’s kid name was not Sammy, that’s the name of Jeff and Susie’s daughter. My favorite episode was Carpool Lane, you mentioned, bc during its filming it actually provided an In Real Life alibi which saved a guy from being sent to prison!
This is really good timing since the past few seasons of the show have been less than stellar. Seasons 1-9 are the show’s best and you’re right that the Doll episode is the best.
@@t221000 It became a different show at that point. Thats ok though I have 5 seasons of incredibly great tv from Larry to enjoy. Thats enough for me. :)
I always loved this show because my parents got me into it. It’s such a shame it’s over because it’s the last of dying breed. I never watched that episode but have always seen that clip lmfaooo
One of my favorite episodes!! The little girl’s name isn’t Sammi… it’s Tara Michaelson. She actually showed up in the series finale to testify against Larry!
Just started it a couple weeks ago, and while this episode killed me, I’d honestly have to say Beloved Aunt is the episode that sold me on the show in season 1. The typo in the obituary made me laugh so damn hard
The Doll is one of the best television episodes ever made in my opinion. There isn't a single plot point that isn't either a payoff to something before, or a set up to something else later.
My favs are The Therapists, The Shirt, The Sandwich, and the one when they fake they confused the party date and came in day after xd it's the same one with the black D cake and Ted showing up on the fire morning. Of the top of my head, many other fantastic eps besides these
By Season 2, I realised that the formula of the show was going to be the same for every episode to come. From "The Doll" onwards, Curb Your Enthusiasm writes itself, which is very useful for a series that needs more attention put to its improv than its structure.
I love how complex these analysis are when in fact these shows get written buy a bunch of guys coming up with funny and outrageous situations to simply make people laugh. In this show in particular, a lot of them are improvised on the spot.
Even though it hasn’t been a show that aired every year, I still think it may be the most consistently great, for longer than any show had ever been. 25 years, since it started. 26, if one counts the special. Six year hiatus, and it still hilarious. I’m becoming a post divorce guy, after long saying pre divorce was better. 🤓
Great video, but Sammi doesn't come into the bathroom. Sammi is Jeff and Susie's daughter. The girl who comes into the bathroom is the Michaelson daughter.
Took me a few years to realize Larry David was the genius behind Seinfeld. Because in between crying about censorship as a millionaire and dating teens Jerry hasn’t made me laugh once since he stepped off the Seinfeld lot.
Larry David is a comedic genius, while Jerry Seinfeld has very little talent. I've always said that I could have been "Jerry Seinfeld" if I had had a Larry David.
@@get_me_the_bonesaw3029 At the beginning of every episode, I always just wait patiently for Jerry's standup routine to be over so we can get to the funny stuff.
There's a video floating around out there thay I recommend finding, it's a guy doing a Jerry Seinfeld impression and stand-up routine about having a 17 year old girlfriend in your 30s. It's about 10x funnier and smarter than anything Jerry has done, while still being totally in keeping with his style. I think of it often.
Yeah, I'm sure you could have. Seinfeld's genius was in letting his supporting characters all have their moments, even characters who appeared in only one episode. His job was to orchestrate the madness around him. No doubt the Seinfeld show was not as good after David left, but at that point Seinfeld was getting ready to wrap it up.
My favorite episode is the one that Larry gets in a misunderstanding with someone.
Is that the one where Susie gets mad at Jeff and Larry?
@@danmorrison8194 Yeah the one where someone violates one of Larry's arbitrary societal rules.
that was certainly vaguely funny
Was that the one with Mocha Joe?
Guys he means every episode... he gets into a misunderstanding every episode ☠️☠️

Yeah, we’re about to enter a real bad time for comedy and humanity. What was the last big comedy released?
Too bad he assaulted Elmo :/
South Park still keeping it real also
Once they introduce Leon this show went from great to incredible
Leon and Mary Funkhouser
That is not my e🍫
Until the last 4 seasons
Except the times he's being racist which are a lot.
That's a shame as I really like JB Smoove.
@@eall5630 Thinking Wanda was a better addition isn't incompatible with think Leon made the show better.
The ending of the doll might be the hardest that I have ever laughed.
The music that plays whenever he faces Suzy is fucking hilarious lol
It’s amusing. Not “fucking hilarious”. You know and we all know that it alone has never made you literally LAUGH OUT LOUD lololol.
You don’t know that
@@kim86gurlYou sound fun at parties
@@kim86gurlokay laugh police
I literally laugh out loud when I hear that music in Susie scenes because I know what's coming!
when he starts a coffee shop for spite 🤣🤣🤣
A spite store!
4:23 The girl is called Tara. Sammi is Jeff and Susie's daughter.
That's why I was so confused damn
My personal favorite is the one with the disney-fied, fired nanny going nuts and Susie falling onto the sponge cakes.
😂😂😂😂 Yes! That one is awesome. 😂😂😂. I love the one with the handicap bathroom. 😂😂😂
Cheri Oteri
When Larry turns up with all the cakes and Suzy screams at him for trying to make Jeff fatter, I was on the floor.
"The Nanny From Hell" is also up there for me. Susie talking so nicely to Larry and you, the viewer, is wondering, "why is she being so nice after all of this?" And then the payoff with the sponge cakes being what saved her life was just brilliant.
That really is the best line in the series. The “DECAPITATEEED” kills me every time
DEFINITELY
The kid fashion designer is genius and hilarious
Man, I remember 20 years ago, my elder sister telling the whole family about how good this “new Seinfeld show” is. She talked about the ending to “The Doll.”
It should have been titled from pretty good to splendid
Shplendid
Pretty good to prettaaaay prettaaayy good
Yes, it should’ve. It’s bothering me so much that I’m about to schnap.
Larry and Leon took this show to another level
leon was just replacement for krazee eye killa
Leon takes the trope of weekly sage whom star consults for advice (see Mr Whoopie) and turns it on its head as Leon gives the worst advice.
Leon is good but nothing special
Leon is great, and kills it. But the show also became a lot more absurd and goofy after he joined the cast
Susy and Larry might be the Greatest TV rivalry of all time
I liked Denise Handicap and the end when Rosie O'Donnell chases Larry up the stairs to kick his butt.
I though Wendy wheelchair was a better match
This was definitely the episode that hooked me.
I think S2 E3 - Trick or Treat - was the first truly great Curb episode. “I didn’t know it was felony or treat!” LMAO. 😂
Came here to make this exact comment. “Bald asshole?!? That’s a hate crime!” One of my all time favorites.
This is a hate crime to the bald community- no offense sir but you choose to be bald and you are not one of us
Seriously! The Doll was cool but trick or treat was so good I didn't notice
I agree this is the moment... But just so you know, Sami is Jeff and Susie's daughter, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus is pronounced like "Louie"
Yeah the author of this work is pretty brutally unaware of just the basics.
Beloved Aunt(Cunt) was the first episode that took off, imo
"You copped a feel off my mom; you gotta go" is probably Jeff Garlin's best line in the entire show.
I have never laughed so hard on a consistent episode -to-episode basis for any other TV show. Hilarity!
Literally on my first watch of this show I was like “yeah this is alright I don’t see what all the rave is about though” got to this episode and fucking died laughing show had me hooked at that point and it just got better

Most of season 1 is too much, in the best way
I love that in every episode this happens
Susie:”oh hey, Larr”
Larry does something to piss her off
Susie:”Get the fuck outta my house”
The next day
Susie:”oh hey, Larr”
I was hooked from Season 1 Episode 1... but my favorite episode is The Larry David Sandwich...
You don't know who your parents are?
I know they're not those nuts!
Best line ever! 🤣🤣🤣
Its one of mines too!
Every scene in which Leon Black speaks is my favorite.
Larry David is a legend
the newest season is so good
This is my favourite episode of the show

“Uncomfortability” not a word. “Discomfort” yes a word.
My favourite episode is Beloved Aunt, mainly because everyone treats the typo so seriously without cracking up.
Prettaaaaay prettaaaaaay prettaaaaaay pretty good video
Agreed, this was the episode that pulls you in and makes Curb compelling hilarious viewing.
You nailed it! I lost my mind on this episode. I was laughing so hard I actually got ill.

“You gotta get in that ass, Larry!!!

I love that episode of corrado and bobby buccalieri
Larry never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
This is really good timing since the past few seasons of the show have been less than stellar. Seasons 1-9 are the show’s best and you’re right that the Doll episode is the best.
Season 6 is where it changes into a different, and in fact inferior, show.

You got the daughter’a name wrong. If I’m not mistaken Sammi is Jeff and Suzie’s daughter’s name.
I loved it from the beginning, never thought something could top Seinfeld. I am watching the whole thing over and over, it's just great stuff.
I always loved this show because my parents got me into it. It’s such a shame it’s over because it’s the last of dying breed. I never watched that episode but have always seen that clip lmfaooo
The Doll was, for me, the first truly perfect episode. Still my fav. 😅
Larry David for President.. I had said in the past that we should all write in Larry David on the ballot & just not tell him
Tracy Ullman 😂
This is the episode I always show people when I’m introducing them to the show.
The episode with a little girls rash on her Hop ha Was probably my favorite.
Leon:”You know someone’s getting fucked up, right?......Imma break your fucking tooth, glasses or something!!”
One of my favorite episodes!! The little girl’s name isn’t Sammi… it’s Tara Michaelson. She actually showed up in the series finale to testify against Larry!
Love the callback to this episode during the finale
This was def a classic episode!
When Richard Lewis or Marty Funkhouser turns up, you know something funny is gonna happen.
The survivor was always my favorite episode
Palestinian Chicken make me cried out loud! The best ever non-written quote for sexy times 🤣
Wow, haven’t watched the episode in years, just now realizing that was Renee Elise Goldsberry at the movie theater. Love her.
Just started it a couple weeks ago, and while this episode killed me, I’d honestly have to say Beloved Aunt is the episode that sold me on the show in season 1. The typo in the obituary made me laugh so damn hard
Hooray, you got Susie Essman's name right!
But mispronounced Julia’s last name and kept calling the one girl Sammi, instead of Tara
@@A-W. Yeah, I commented that before finishing the video... Which in fact I never did because I bailed on it after the next basic error.
The Doll is one of the best television episodes ever made in my opinion. There isn't a single plot point that isn't either a payoff to something before, or a set up to something else later.
I LOOOVE Susie. She is hilarious. Wouldn't be the same without her, that's for sure.

The daughter’s name was Tara, Sammi is Jeff’s daughter. Also you said “Julia Louise Dreyfus”, have you ever seen either Curb or Seinfeld?

NOV 2001?? 😱😱Good thing they didn’t decide to air it 2 months earlier.
Larry David has the coolest walk.
I love how complex these analysis are when in fact these shows get written buy a bunch of guys coming up with funny and outrageous situations to simply make people laugh. In this show in particular, a lot of them are improvised on the spot.
The dialogue is largely improvised, but the stories and plot points (and a couple of the lines) are tightly written.
Suzie is probably my favorite character lol.
Awkwardness and humiliation are always the funniest thing, Seinfeld and Curb proved this
“The Doll” is definitely one of the best. But right up there as well would be “The Wire” and “The Ski Lift,” among many others 😊.
I KNEW it was going to be this episode before I even hit play.
Even though it hasn’t been a show that aired every year, I still think it may be the most consistently great, for longer than any show had ever been.
25 years, since it started.

Actually Sammi is the name of Jeff and Susie's daughter. The little girl in this episode was named Tara.
“Tent in the Pants”, is when Curb, jumped the shark
Season 4 - the car pool lane will always be the pinnacle
the little boy who loved to sew is my favorite..but they are all great
Season 4 was epic - The Weatherman, The Five Wood, Wandering Bear - there wasn't a bad episode.
we literally studied this episode in my college english class
My favorite episode is Yes!
That kids name is definitely not name Sammie. Sammie is Jeff's kid.
Love the doll. "Get me the head"
