Best part for me is when Larry decides to stop protesting his innocence and to just resign to the heroism bestowed on him, genius writing.

[@Zodroo_Tint]

If something is above mediocre it became a genius now? :)

[@whyareyoutriggeredbro9048]

​@@Zodroo_TintYeah it's not genius. It's basic. I guess this guys standards of writing is low.

[@mikepower8999]

its more like the combination of the performance and the writing that really sells it as awesome. @@whyareyoutriggeredbro9048

Larry always takes it when he can. It’s so rare for him!

Is that in The PirkotAvot?

IKR? Leave it to Larry to stop a christian baptism LMAO! I'm sure Rabbi Akiva would speak beautifully of Larry. As Richard Kind once put it in one episode "like a friend" 🙂

Dont get it whos that

[@jamesboulger8705]

"Take them all, I don't need them." Larry's impiety is hilarious.

Larry's look when he finally accepts their esteem. Genius.

Love how he decides to join the trend.

[@vincekilloran843]

"I want you to talk at my daughter's bat mitzvah" Freaking hilarious.

[@dudelookslikeagirl]

Only in Curb will you see a disrupted baptism leading to a man almost drowning, then two families engaging in a holy war, and a marriage getting canceled.

[@yunsha9986]

I like how Sheryl is the first one to scream saying "LARRY NOOOOOOOOOO" like she already foresaw the pattern.

[@gayan2517]

Larry's wife is the only one who knows Larry was honest.

[@TheBehm08]

Larry loves taking credit for shit he didn’t do. Like the airplane scene where he tripped and took down that drunk guy lol

I swear it gets funnier each time I watch this😂

[@eggluver2152]

A 5 minute scene with 30 subtle jokes all hilarious while still driving the plot. I wonder how many takes it took then to film. Larry David is on the Mount Rushmore of comedy writing. No debate possible.

You are cringe. :)

[@AnonYmous-lk9qy]

I feel such a weird sense of empathy for Larry, in a world where people are so frequently hostile unnecessarily, seeing a group of people who identify with him and him just falling into it is something I’d definitely do myself.

[@bubblegumtycoon2983]

empathy? Larry is grade A opportunist. He knew what he did was wrong yet because he is sucker of praise, he decided to just go with the flow

[@rogue_asami4522]

How is Larry supposed to know what a baptism looks like? He’s never been to one.

[@Zodroo_Tint]

Watching television.

[@maheshn9970]

Genius. Have been watching this for more than a decade. Never gets old. 🙏🏼

I was watching this scene tonight for the first time while eating matzoh ball soup and I laughed so hard that I spit a mouthful of matzoh ball soup back into the bowl. So funny

[@rogerbarry8607]

This is quite possibly the jewiest comment in the history of youtube. L'chaim!

[@SoFloCo-ne4rk]

I prefer the more formal "most inimitably jewish" rather than the more casual "jewiest" which should be reserved for occasions where one wishes to convey that the qualities or characteristics in question are open to more than one interpretation possibly, but not necessarily, for comedic purposes.@@rogerbarry8607

[@Teeveepicksures]

i lose it every time when she says "mitzvah" and his face changes

[@ant-yg1ck]

The evolved being that Cheryl is in the latest seasons is probably because of experiences like these

[@patrickbly4170]

Larry wasn't smiling at the end 😕 a true Mensch.

"I don't want them, that was the whole point of the baptism" 🤣🤣🤣

I think people that love Curb love comedy more than most.

[@acquiredsenseofhumor]

Definitely an acquired sense of humor…

[@johnmoeller8654]

This whole episode is the culmination of so many brilliant story lines coming together in such an unpredictable and ingenious way, one of the best pieces of comedy writing I've ever had the pleasure of watching in all my life, it's such a brilliant, multi--layered vignette of beautiful comedy bits. Thanks LD!

[@HarrisonHollers]

These videos are amazing! 20 years of Curb! So many classic moments! They always make me laugh and think about LD and life.

One of the very best episodes

[@bettinabarr9107]

Lol why do people blame Larry? The stupid priest let him go 🤣

[@ambrosineandposy1868]

He's not a priest, he's a minister. Priests do not baptize in a lake or river.
