it was alright...pretty far fetched reason for him to go to new york for 3 months though.

it was also pretty similiar to the seinfeld episode where george lies to susan's parents about him having a house in the hamptons and they didn't believe him.

i wasn't a big fan of them making light of oscar dying too. not my favorite episode.

next week looks funny:
ld: "so how's your marriage?"
chris parnel: "what? why would you ask me such a thing??"
ld: "i was attempting to take small talk up to medium talk."

It's also pretty far-fetched for Larry to let some free-loading black guy boss him around his own house but ya gotta suspend realism at this point with the show. And I could care less about Oscar dying. He's had his day sniffing bras and biting penises. Now it's time for the pound in the sky.

i was not a fan of the blacks moving in either. leon just became funny over time.

to me the show is at it's best when it's pointing out the obscenely hillariousness of regular daily activities.

things like the blacks moving in with him so quickly, him taking over a limo driver's route a few years back, and now moving to new york on a whim like this is too much of a stretch for me. it's still gonna be funny as hell. i just like the more mundane stuff which the show was predicated on.

One thing that gets to me in the show is Larry's pettiness with money. Worrying about the $60 he lent the girl from "The Smiley Face", not accepting a $50 bill that Funkhouser had in his shoe. When is one of these characters gonna say "haven't you made $500 million dollars off Seinfeld"? I know that Larry would respond that it's not about the money, it's the principal of the matter. But seriously, the guy's a gazillionaire and it's flat-out annoying to see him complain about money. He loses the "every man" appeal that works so well when he complains about inappropriate parking, chat and cuts, etc.

That goes hand-in-hand with the way he looks at everything. Why care if someone "chats and cuts"...it's the principle of the thing.

Larry not complaining about something so mundane would be troubling.

PBM

Yeah his complaining works with everything except money...cause he's super rich. Other than money issues, I think I've been on Larry's side of the argument every single time since season 1

I'm on season 2 now and I think the funniest episode I've watched of the series right now is the season 2 episode, "Trick or Treat". The whole scene with the two teen girls and then the scene with the police at the house had me in tears. And then the part outside the theater, waiting for the movie to start, and Larry whistling the song.

This was probably my favorite line from the episode:

Anti-Wagnerite: Are you Jewish?
Larry: What?
Anti-Wagnerite: Are you Jewish?
Larry: Why? You want to see my penis?

I love when Larry is trying to convince the cops that it's a hate crime because they wrote Bald Asshole on his door. "We're a sect."

That whole scene with the cops at their house had me cracking up, especially when he was talking about "trick or treat".

Has anyone read the new Rolling Stone interview with him (he's on the cover)? Good stuff!

+1. Definitely a good read.

Still waiting for mine to come in the mail. Can't wait to read it.

"He's a bra sniffing dog!"

Hilarious episode.

This week's episode was pretty weak except for the whole discussion of how much money it would take for Larry to sit through "Eat, Pray, Love" in a theater. Something tells me Larry wouldn't be on board with "Better Days".

I agree. Hopefully the NY episodes are better. Gervais this week is a can't miss. And where's Leon?!?!?!

Got mine in the mail today.

It was crammed in my mailbox and is all bent and twisted out of shape.

Who's my mailman, Newman??

You know that if he controls the mail, he also controls...INFORMATION!

I actually thought it would be better - didn't really learn that much about him that I didn't already know. I did love the part about what Jeff said about LeBron James
