Hello, Larry

Please don't think any less of me, but I LOVE Curb Your Enthusiasm. Does that make me a bad person?
Am I going to Hell because I laugh at it, even though it's totally wrong?

I've spoken to quite a few people who "don't get" the show.  "It's not funny." "Everyone yells all the time."  I agree every line isn't funny.  Since it's improv (Larry and his writers provide an outline and the cast improvs the dialogue,) the comedy needs time to build.  But when it's funny, it's HILARIOUS (and did I mention wrong.)  And yes, they yell a lot.  If you were in any of these situations, you'd be yelling, too.

And the subjects...oh my.  It's the only show that finds comedy in a Girl Scout with a "girl problem," stereotyping lawyers of a certain persuasion, accusing a whole race of being thieves, going out with someone strictly because of enhanced body parts, trying to get out of going to a charity camp for kids, and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict (via a chicken restaurant.)  And those are just this seasons topics.  In the past there have been jokes about wheelchairs, 9-11, and other things you just don't joke about.  YOU don't joke about them...but THEY can somehow.  Larry (and the rest of them) say things you would never say.  But you might think them.  Maybe that's why it's so fun to watch.   

So go ahead and call me crass and mean for watching.  That's fine.  I'll just find some annoying habit you have and get Larry the "Social Assassin" to call you out on it.  And  I'll see you in Hell.
