Larry is hired to make a birthday appearance for someone who happens to be African.
Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season 12 Episode 1.

…”Huckleberry F’n Finn”. Twain is rolling in his grave with laughter😂

[@dekuuchiha9990]

was my favorite part. that and the little look JB gives to the guy when he says he's African

[@022171]

Leon is offended, but he's still fu%$ing hungry.

[@hatientacetlen4246]

He has his priorities straight. Being hungry won't make the situation better.

[@usiseme]

“You just lost about half the buffet” 😂

[@JM-fc9gm]

Sharlto rocks. Glad he got a cameo, as random as it was.

[@Noodlyk18]

The way Leon says his last name, "Leon, BLACK" like he means "yeah unlike you you fake African" is so fucking funny

[@buster5661]

But he's not fake. Leon and Larry are American. And the dude is African 🙄

[@christianwestling2019]

How is he a fake african?

[@buster5661]

Why are all my stupid KZbin comments getting deleted but im still being notified about replies

[@Noodlyk18]

@@christianwestling2019 that's the joke, he's south african but Larry and Leon don't think he is because he's white

[@SJ.77]

Like that girl who got a scholarship to an American University because she was African - when they realised she was a white African they rescinded the scholarship - and some people dont think racism still exists....

Never thought I'd see Sharlto Coplay on an episode of Curb! Love it!

[@ongbak9760]

The whole white guy from Africa bit is giving me Donna Chang(stein) vibes. Larry's a genius.🤣

[@christianwestling2019]

You didn't know there are white people in Africa?

[@artuvwar]

big facts

[@streamofconsciousness5826]

They did it with Elaine's ambiguous boyfriend as well.

[@ghostdance56]

That white guy is more African than Leon will ever be. Leon never even been to Africa.

[@PhilipMarcYT]

"Cheers my brother" There goes his whole buffet. 😆

[@Farmgoth]

South African white dude accent is probably the funniest accent in the world.

[@sechabatheletsane9784]

Lol. Im from South Africa and this accent just seems so normal to me😂😂 Australian accents however 😂

[@Farmgoth]

@@sechabatheletsane9784 Has there been an Australian on curb yet? I think Isla Fisher is, but she was putting on an accent.

[@sechabatheletsane9784]

@@Farmgoth I don't think so🤔 I just meant generally😄

[@eatile6403]

Isn't this the South African actor who played one of the 4 leads in the movie the A-Team that had Liam Niesen🤔and that guy from the HANGOVER

[@glenmalesa8902]

And they have Americanised his surnamed into Fouchay instead of South African Fouche.

[@WahyuWidodo-fh1fp]

Only Larry can produce this kind of humour.. hilarious 😂😂

[@joshs3499]

I hope Leon doesn't eat all the prawns at the buffet.

[@mellow5123]

Those are some glasses, Larry!

[@Under_Construction100]

The way Leon throws the word f&%$en in every sentence is soooo hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣😀

[@matthewjarek3026]

I love the gestures Michael does at 0:30 and 1:19 towards Leon, even calling him his "Brother" (He does it again later), like he thinks being from South Africa gives him this connection to black people. I don't know if Sharlto came up with that detail, but the show knows what it's doing. 😆

[@Tatspule4444]

Nah that’s just a Joburg thing. Like how English people say “mate”, in Joburg they’ll call each other Brother or Boet ( Afrikaans for brother)

[@Giveupyerowlsins]

Welcome back Larry and Leon.. it's great to laugh again..

[@seansartor]

Leon is OUTTA control 🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣

[@khatmaster]

CYE came back with a bang.

[@ja6975]

I love Shartlo Copley!

[@FedUpSista]

The frames 😂

[@GustoMaximus]

I feel the better joke would be if he was referring to himself as an 'African American' and getting into that augment as he is from Africa but now American.

[@Gablesman888]

Like Charlize Theron.

[@Kai-tn4yx]

Elon Musk is African American.

[@blaquenguni9249]

That's played out and has been done many times

[@alphanerd7221]

Hard to take anyone seriously as an "African" while you have birthright citizenship in the UK.

[@sechabatheletsane9784]

@@alphanerd7221 I'm going to assume your American and just ignorant so I'll teach you something new. Afrikaans people (like said person in clip) do not come from England. Their ancestors came from Netherlands. That being said he's from South Africa and the vast population of white people living here have citizenship only here.

I’m so glad Maria Sophia has a recurring role. She’s super outrageous and funny. Perfect for Curb.

[@CharlieBrown20XD6]

She was too good. I've never seen anyone act so well at acting badly lol I always had to look away

[@AdAstra78]

Her scenes in the last season were atrocious.

Love how the American guy thinks he’s more African than the guy born and raised in Africa

[@jamesr141]

I am white from South Africa and I am AFRICAN. Deal with it.

[@PhilipMarcYT]

No, you're not. You're of European ancestry who's parents decided to immigrate to South Africa. "Deal with that" 🤣

[@jamesr141]

@@PhilipMarcYT My parents were born and raised in Africa and so were their parents, going back generations. My grandparents lived their whole lives in Africa. You think they're not African? Do you think African means black? Why do you think this?

The white dude is African born and bred . His European ancestors were there since the 18th century in the same way that many Americans have their ancestors from Europe.

[@aslkdjfzxcv9779]

leon BLACK. lol'd

[@blaquenguni9249]

Leon is damn 60 years old still hot the Durag and all the clothing styles of 2006/8 when he first popped up on the show, to me it's a bit ridiculous how his character has no development. Larry David does very tasteful jew jokes, but goes for the low hanging fruit when it comes to other people, this season they even had the stereotypical Big Momma black woman in the Atlanta episodes. He did something similar when he was dissing Jesus /Christians (that was funny, with the painting that was "crying"), but when it comes to Jews and homosexuals he keeps things very light and tasteful

[@kevinroux8856]

@Bob-md8kuthere is no season 13, they announced this is the last one. Unfortunately

[@GIF_CANCEL]

The Maria Sophia character disgusts me

[@armandoucles5346]

I cannot stand her!!! I hope Larry gets his revenge on her at the end of the season. The actress who plays her does such a great job playing such an unlikable character.

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

I agree. I love the actress. The character is that entitled slob with no talent we see all too frequently everywhere

[@edgardoadriano4267]

So, that makes him African American. That is interesting.

[@IronDiva]

As is Elon Musk

[@kaybeeMoAfrika]

South African American, unless you think Africa is a country.

[@BlackDiamond2718]

I love that confusion cause people never assume white when you say african.

[@condemnedpotbelly8491]

South African with an Australian accent😅

[@Hill3304]

My favorite show of All -Time but thought this episode was one of Curb's worse ever . Not funny in the least , except scene with Siri , and most of the jokes fell flat . Hopefully we will get funnier episodes as the season goes on . Maybe it is time to close the curtain !!

[@kaybeeMoAfrika]

It gets better with time. Start watching after the whole season has aired.

[@patricialowther3899]

Him pandering calling Leon 'brother' is so spot on and Larry has accurately honed in on an archetypal bastard, the white South African man.

[@handyalley2350]

African australian

[@BboyCorrosive]

Nowwww just remember folks. If you're living in a western country but your grandparents were from Africa, would you like it if in 2024 someone told you you arent (insert western country here). 😊

[@ReijiNakashi]

When you realized Charlize Theron is a real african American

[@khulaniyekela6061]

Hi. I've actually thought about this.

[@DrPool147]

My favourite character and my favourite show but this was a really poor episode IMO. Seemed unnecessarily chaotic, almost manic for laughs. Why is someone this rich and who doesn't like people doing a private appearance at a party? And this new character is not funny. Really hope the rest of the season improves

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

Larry runs up a lot of debts...and maybe he wants an excuse to get away from Irma

[@waedjradi]

Haha most Americans think everyone in Africa is melanated. In South Africa, you will see a ton of Caucasians there. Even homeless ones. I like how Larry added this into the episode hahaha

[@mattgg1216]

I had a feeling it would be bad but this was brutal, the last two seasons sucked

[@Hill3304]

Maybe worse episode I have seen or bottom 3. Not funy at all . Maybe it is time to end it .

[@davidmitchell6873]

They are ending it after this season, so shut your pie hole and keep your negativity to yourself.

[@JakeBor]

This show used to be funny.

[@adrianmartinelli9799]

How did the cameraman stay focused , absolute rubbish.Should have stopped years ago.

[@JimiCeleste]

This was not funny. In fact, it sucked. The show is just a money grab for HBO and Larry David. We've already seen this show over and over and over. Same show with different scenarios. The best part of the show was Susie and Leon, but even they are getting old. The Maria character is actually okay because she is so terrible and Jeff Garlin is annoying. Knowing Larry's character would you think for a minute he would wear those glasses in public? Seriously . . . BTW . . . I thought it was improv. The call back of the butt dial was definitely scripted.

[@JohnSmith-bk7hk]

"same show with different scenarios". You truly missed your calling as a tv critic

[@seanhoddy3129]

awww youre breaking my heart

[@coronaflo]

No one is forcing you to watch.

[@mervinprone]

Isn’t that every show on tv? The same show with different scenarios? This was one of the best episodes I’ve seen and there were so many new things in it. Brooke/Brookie rule, the Siri freak out, fat shaming dogs then the ending of course.

[@Mopark25]

Delete your comment bud, this ain't it

[@ccwoodlands1565]

That episode was pathetic. Not even the least bit funny. Retread of old antics. Hopefully the next episode will be better. Off to a bad start.
