    Thought that last episode was great, alot better than the previous. Thats more like it Larry.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,061 ✭✭✭nomdeboardie


    I think I was liking it until about half way through the episode, when it just bludgeoned any remaining vestiges of subtlety into oblivion, or somesuch. Except for “Hopefully he’ll just wear himself out” 😆, and the tuck test (Who does that??)

    Not a great season, and while every episode has a few moments, I really feel it's best days are behind it. Also, is it just me, but does anyone else feel that the endings this season right before the credit music plays, have all been lackluster? The most 'Curb' type ending we got was the one on the election night when the partygoers turned on Larry as he ran to the door.

    I think theres a really big gap in the show now that Cheryl isn't there as a foil, someone to bounce off, the voice of reason. Kinda is Leon now but hes mental so it doesn't work as well.

    I think this season is as good as any, or better. The guest appearances are legendary.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,694 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Thought episode 9 was probably the weakest this season. The whole plot with Bill Hader didn't really work



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,380 ✭✭✭sonofenoch



    Dreadful ...it's just not there anymore, think I'm sticking with it out of loyalty more than anything .....there are just no Lol moments (or few and far between)

    Bill hader is a legend 😂

    norm McDonald mentioned admiration for bill , saying he’s very successful in his own right but always gets onto people like Larry David and trey Parker and essentially interns with them for the craic and experience



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,123 ✭✭✭eviltimeban


    I enjoyed the Bill Hader episode, and Larry's attempts to put Irma "out of action". Was better than the voting episode I thought.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,433 ✭✭✭✭Ash.J.Williams


    Apparently hader was cracking Larry up on set with old school impressions and the like so I’d say his parts were based on old style comedy



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,699 ✭✭✭thecretinhop


    ah lads the leon little women comment is the stuff of legend.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,433 ✭✭✭✭Ash.J.Williams


    Bad mileage on your Johnson 😂😂😂😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,927 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Tracey Ullman was so fricking funny. Stole the series.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,433 ✭✭✭✭Ash.J.Williams


    Being over heard by the most famous whistle blower in US history 😂😂great gag



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,123 ✭✭✭eviltimeban


    Loved the bit with the shoes - when he was considering it I actually said "oh ffs Larry" out loud!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,091 ✭✭✭furiousox


    And that's a wrap, that was the season finale.

    Two classic episodes and a few chuckles here and there but overall...a bit meh.

    Not really. Larry's, Leons and even Vince Vaughns parts were funnier. No single person stole this season or any one before it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,290 ✭✭✭BruteStock


    This season was up and down but when it was good it was really good. That finale though was the worst he ever made

    Loved the finale! Mixed bag alright all round but some really vintage bits too.

    Best line was from Leon when he suggested to Susie that she should let a ‘brother have a go on that motherfcuker’ after her new ‘tightening’ surgery!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,928 ✭✭✭crushproof


    Ah Larry, I think it's time to throw in the towel. You've given us plenty good moments over the years.

    Some quality Curb moments this season and of course Susies fashion was top notch as always but a lot of the season fell flat, I really didn't take a shine to the Irma character.

    Perhaps with Jeff potentially being "cancelled" this could be the end of the road for LD.

    "Let a brother put some 'highway miles' on that"

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,061 ✭✭✭nomdeboardie


    Thanks for that - have to say I actually found the interview interesting re how the improv proceeded 😂

    That was a great listen, beaming for him, hope he gets a few more gigs from it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,963 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    New Larry David doc releasing on HBO Max, March 1st. Larry talking about his life? Sign me up!

    Saw this tweet the day before the documentary was supposed to air and actually thought it was a joke and a reference to how the initial Curb Your Enthusiasm special was Larry wanting to do a "documentary" instead of a stand up special.

    Turns out t it wasn't a clever joke :(



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,963 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Thought i posted that hear on the day, yeah went to watch it on day of release and saw it, bollox!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,020 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Renewed for 12th Season



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,020 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,380 ✭✭✭sonofenoch


    Best tv series ever but probably just as well they call time, the last series just didn't hit the spot for me too many times seemed more forced going for the gags that worked so well in the past

    plus the cast is beginning to look very old, Richard Lewis is like a walking dead by this stage



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,061 ✭✭✭nomdeboardie


    This is a bit like Black Mirror for me – I know it’s in continuous decline, but manage to forget how quickly between one season and the next to tune in again out of curiosity/hope 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,274 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    Mad how Curb has been ging nearly 3 times longer than Seinfeld.

    Loved the last series but theyre pushing 80 if there was a series 13 so right time to call it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,433 ✭✭✭✭Ash.J.Williams


    In the last series Richard pretty much walked out of major surgery (in real life) and onto the set and filmed 😂😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,274 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    First epsiode was alright. Vintage stuff. Doesnt really set up the series. Interested to see where it goes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,896 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    Found the car scene absolutely hilarious. With some very strong language.

    I was a little bit underwhelmed with the first episode. The car scene above was brilliant owever and probably something a lot of us can relate to!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,380 ✭✭✭sonofenoch


    Unfortunately a forgettable episode .....sorry to see they're carrying over the Tracy Ullman character and that latino actor, 2 additions I thought brought nothing humorous to the last series, changed the dynamics of the show and not for the good



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,844 ✭✭✭Glebee


    Pretty pretty pretty ok episode I thought. Couple of good pieces and I enjoyed it overall. Not the best but definitely not the worst. Good to have Larry back all the same.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,215 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    quite funny but that bubbly Latino is tiresome in my opinion

    The internet isn’t for everyone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,348 ✭✭✭El Gato De Negocios


    Agreed but I think that's probably the point of it, everyone loves her except Larry, Leon and us.

    Anyway, really good episode and loads of laughs, not quite as blistering as some earlier seasons but considering the length of the run, to get that level of quality is rare.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,896 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    Larry giving dietary advice to a lactose intolerant man in a holding cell felt very in character. Not a bad episode but a tad predictable.

    Whoever is doing Suzie's costuming is doing a tremendous job.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,274 ✭✭✭✭The Nal


    Enjoyed the 2nd episode more than the first.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,337 ✭✭✭Bandana boy


    I thought thev2nd esp was brilliant , great too see Mocha Joe back , it’s all in the beans



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,896 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    Good to get a golf course related episode. Quite a few throw backs to previous seasons.

    I thought that was one of the best episodes in a long time. Not because of some underlying high concept clever script but more because it was a proper old school low stakes self contained episode that left room for the core cast to deliver top notch moments of improvisation (I assume).

    Classic Curb.
