If there's a weakness in your relationship, a Larry David will show up and test it to breaking point. A Larry David is never far away.

Hope the groom realizes she dodged the bullet there

He will find that weak link and let you break it! Good observation!

[@krankyjsmith9780]

@@vka337 That's right: keep that door tightly shut -- can't have any fresh air into that relationship; let it stink so badly no one wants to come in. You'll never have to know what the weak points were -- your smelly partnership is completely safe from reality.

the fact that he continues to proceed with the petty reason for being there rather than just say "you know what? it's not important now" like a normal person is just brilliant

[@grassbackyard3825]

But that’s the thing. If it wasn’t so important, why all the fluff in the first place?

[@CarefulHowYouStep]

yeah exactly, this show is brilliant because it encapsulates the paradox of everyday life. like larry is painted out to be the antagonist most of the time but in reality, hes, for the most part, the most sane person there. like here, if the barber had just been honest with him, this wouldve never happened. larry just refuses to be lied to and abused, like all of these entitled people are accustomed to@@grassbackyard3825

"Butterflies" stand for gays and Larry knew how to "catch them." Everything is relevant in the episode; genius writing.

[@kennygerberich4985]

@@hughphil I don't think that's what they were going for at all. I mean for starters, you're really stretching those two things in your attempt to connect them. But more importantly, that's not even really Larry David's style. Nor is it the style of the show. The butterfly catching bit is one of his typical narcissistic and absurd tangents...totally unaffected by the situation at hand and completely random. Turning it into an analogy about "capturing gays" (whatever that means) removes that randomness, and therefore removes a good portion of the humor.

[@aroundandround]

Love how LD goes off on trapping butterflies when she asks him a rhetorical question about needing a hobby. "You know when I was a kid I would collect butterflies. I would go in the park; I had a net and I would use the net. I cannot tell you how much satisfaction there is in trapping a butterfly in a net."

[@brettneuberger6466]

Larry’s genius isn’t all that sophisticated. He probably just writes down his immediate reaction/impression to about everything he encounters and thus has near unlimited ideas. His genius comes in giving voice to the one’s relatable to the largest audience.....and of course.....making them ridiculously awkward. I’m pretty confident most people’s first impression, subconscious or not, would be the exact same as his about the bride/groom choice. Most of us wouldn’t give it a second thought, or even recognize we thought it in the first place. He just makes conscious what most people ignore or filter out.
