The best! That opening scene with him struggling with the soap dispenser was classic Curb.
That’s totally me, too. My kids figure that shit out before I can. I’m only allowed to use bar soaps because I apparently destroy all the dispensers in the house.

Well, I signed up for a week-long HBO trial with Amazon just for this, though it may be less costly on a monthly basis via our cable provider.
As always, it didn't disappoint at all.
Just me, or has Richard Lewis shrunk a bit?
Anyway........Larry
His face looks considerably different than it did a decade ago.

Classic episode this week! Any time an episode revolves around the death of a Funkhouser, the show is in top form. Coincidentally I re-watched the "Ida Funkhouser Street side Memorial" episode last week when Marty became an orphan. ha..
Best one of the season thus far...

Here's my only minor beef with Curb.....it's the same beef I have with other good comedies as they age. The characters become caricatures of themselves. Too many scenes where Larry has that shit eating grin on his face before the actual event happens. Like he's in on the joke with the audience watching at home. Early seasons were much more subtle and played up the awkwardness of Larry as opposed to now when it's like Larry is laughing along with you right from the start. Like, instead of the grin, it was a much more perturbed Larry at first....and then later the grin might come out--but not always. Anyone else see this?

I do a bit, Juggler - but I think part of it is due to how much his/their improvisations occur, like he's laughing already about what he's about to say. I noticed it with Seinfeld too (only with Jerry).
What I love most about Curb is its utter lack of PC-ness, and how inappropriate the humor can be, but still be funny. The terrorist attack, the bare midriff, the survivor, beloved cunt, Groat's Syndrome...THAT is what keeps me coming back!

That one is right up there with "I'll fuck the Jew out of you"
Of all the funny lines, I sometimes find the little things to be the funniest. When Jeff and Larry say hi to the receptionists and their differing reactions.

I love Larry so much that I'm willing to forgive his repeating certain Seinfeld storylines.

Get that ass watching, DK.
Last night's was right up there for me.
I LOVE LARRY.

(Hi, Wob
And Jeff's new look and sprained dick, and the desk wrestling.
(E, I shall alert you to the Hamilton / Miranda connection, in case you don't regularly read this thread or watch the show.)
This was just a fantastic episode - for me, each one is better than the last.
