Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 10 |OT|

[NookSports]

The only thing I didn't like is I don't think the ending really landed in the satisfying Seinfeld / Curb "everything comes together at the end" way. The payoff being that the maître d' admitted there was an ugly section, and the son of a doctor thing just felt contrived compared to most Curb endings... and the implication wasn't even that funny either, the kid was pretty smart so he was just going to go what, help the person that's sick?

I think the joke was him being a son of a doctor qualified him to provide medical advice. Many in the episode accepted this as fact.

Great episode although I don't believe for one second that Larry has never known that he doesn't fully belong in the ugly section of restaurants, online dating, parties, and all other social gatherings. He knows and has always known, that bald fuck. Suzy being smug about being in the pretty section was hilarious though.

Another vague callback reference was to the Seinfeld episode where they talk about how 95% of people are ugly and George thinks he is one of the 5%. He really is Larry!

the mugging was very blaise, I kinda expected both to be a bit more freaked out by a guy holding a gun to them. NYC Larry yeah, I can see that, but LA Larry and Richard Lewis?

I got that, It just felt like half of a joke... IDK just didn't feel like it fully landed; the kid did give pretty good advice in-universe.

sweet dee and john hamm next week? This season is laying it on thick with cameos but that works for me

e: on second thought, doesn't look like Kaitlin Olson is playing herself

 

[Wingfan19]

I don't usually talk about Richard Lewis but his facial expression immediately after unlocking the door for Larry was a real treat, made the scene with Larry confronting him with the police sirens even funnier.

Click to shrink...

Hahaha OMG, I texted that exact same thing to my friend while watching it. Richard just cracks me up.

 

[VeryHighlander]

What was the pop tart comment?

Click to shrink...

Leon just learned about the magical vagina and his first thought goes to popping a pop tart into it so it can come out toasted. He's holding a pop tart as he says it. Shit had me howling

If I recall correctly she was in earlier seasons as Cheryl's sister.

You're right, totally forgot about that

Yep... in the infamous 'beloved cunt' episode.

Perhaps on purpose? With so many callbacks in this ep to previous Seinfeld's, makes sense the ending would wrap in a similar way.

 

[Deleted member 2533]

Larry and Richard are getting so decrepit now, they're 72, when the show started they were 52.

 

[Deleted member 2533]

Isn't there also an episode where George or Elaine get a guard at a store fired by getting him a chair so he can relax? The bathroom storyline reminded me of that. It feels like there have been a few bits that have direct Seinfeld analogs this season.

The ep where Clive Owen loses his confidence because no one cries in the audience is like when George is dating the pianist and Jerry puts the PEZ dispenser on Elaine's leg making her laugh in the middle of her performance.

 

[Firewithin]

skyler gisondo is hilarious in everything so it was fun to see him pop up in curb.

 

[Sanjuro]

The last two weeks have been the most potent Curb I've ever seen.

It was obviously meant to be on the nose. Purposefully over the top and completely self-aware. I loved it.

I knew his face from somewhere and I realized it was Righteous Gemstones, where he was fantastic.

He was even better in Santa Clarita Diet. Great actor.

 

[Sanjuro]

This is another show which makes me think the AV Club reviewers hate life.

 

[Deleted member 58401]

I loved this episode. It's been a great season so far.

On the Seinfeld callbacks, George gets a busboy fired in season 2 or 3 and Kramer's mom is a matron. They keep coming. But Curb has always done that. The car periscope comes up on Seinfeld, too.

"You look like Einstein's gardener for Christ's sake"

That line killed me.

Though I wasn't a huge fan of the episode either, most of AV Club's reviewers are mediocre.

Other than Caroline Siede, I can't think of another reviewer over there who has anything interesting to contribute from an analytical standpoint.

 

[Deleted member 388]

Leon continues to have the best lines on the show.

 

[Red Liquorice]

I thought this season started off well but the last 3 episodes have been pretty run of the mill.

I'm the complete opposite. I was apprehensive at the beginning, but the last three episodes are instant classics.

 

[ryan299]

I was dying through the whole episode. This show is still a blast.

Lewis has some serious health issues too. He says he's in pain all the time. Noticeable from the way he can barely move.

 

[Kino]

This week's episode was a slip for me, but there were still plenty of laughs.

Larry realizing that me may be ugly had me howling.

Wow, this show has been going on for so long! I remember pants tent like it was yesterday.

 

[MrPink]

Jon Hamm should just take over the show once Larry gets too old for this.

 

[Arkeband]

The Mocha Joe's scene replaying itself identically with Jon Hamm, culminating in the nose dip had me absolutely dying.

"Doesn't even hurt!"

 

[Furiousone]

Probably my favorite ep in recent memory.

 

[Furiousone]

Duplicate post

 

[ryseing]

Jon's body language in the background was just fantastic. The facepalm when Larry asked about the Chinese food... chef's kiss

 

[tophu]

Jon Hamm fucking killed it.

 

[ryseing]

I really hope they come back to the Jon Hamm plotline in a potential future season. Maybe show a clip from the "movie".

 

[a Master Ninja]

I really thought that Cheryl was going to have sex with Jon Hamm, but he just became too Larry David for her.

 

[PlayBee]

Fantastic episode. Love Jon Hamm

 

[SlickVic]

Man, Larry would have been so proud of that Mocha Joe's scene.

I think John Hamm may be my favorite guest star of the show up to this point.

 

[Tiger Priest]

Hilarious. Hamm was spot on.

 

[hurlex]

amazing episode

 

[SeanM]

Jon Hamm crushed it, hopefully he makes another appearance at some point.

 

[Deleted member 17643]

"It's actually not funny Jon Hamm."

It's always the little lines that are sort of snuck in that get me.

 

[Scullibundo]

Hamm killed me. And Leon's casual 'I quit that shit' lol

 

[BlueTsunami]

Fucking classic. I also love it when Larry goes into hysterics. That fucking pizza accident hypothetical lmao

 

[ScaleboundGOTY]

This was one of the best episodes in the series. Leon needs an emmy

 

[Firewithin]

great episode. the airport scene had me dying and the dinner scene with the chair was great

 

[Sanjuro]

I feel like Jon Hamm might be the only one to understand the spite store.

 

[Porco Rosso]

Jon Hamm has such fantastic comedic chops. Every comedy role he has is gold and this was no exception. best episode of the season
