Curb Your Enthusiasm - Therapy session (Sneaky watch peek)

Larry speaks with his therapist (Bryan Cranston) about his many issues.
Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season 9 Episode 4

"I'm often never honest with you."

[@corybrown8196]

I straight burst out laughing when he said that. Dead

[@rvnmedic1968]

I really did a LoL with that line. Larry is such a psycho that the shrink needs to see his own shrink after each session.

"interesting with the chair. chair issues"

[@fernando3061]

Haha that part cracked me up too, especially "chair issues" followed up by "their could be something deep here."

[@tobiasgoldman]

-It is interesting that you are the first one, and only one, to have had problems with that chair. -I don't find that interesting at all.

[@davidwestcott3383]

Hardly subliminal, more like overtly.

[@LordEmilous]

Yup. A decent therapist would not do such a thing because it causes unbalance between the client and a therapist.

[@johnetteboston1104]

"Im not trying to do a sneaky watch peek" cracked me up. I love how they commit to the ridiculous improv they come up with.

[@dougthemoleman]

You just know Larry wrote a lot of that stuff on Seinfeld, where people repeat the same phrase a lot and play off it. xD It's his signature move.

[@yoyolebatteur]

And a production assistant had to run to buy a clock for the following scene they were going to shoot right after.

[@TheKomentor]

I've been to a doctor who just stands up when he feels the consultation is over, irrespective of whether my doubts have been cleared or not. So, the watch peek isn't bad at all.

[@guguigugu]

i love how he finaly got interested in a topic he liked (truffles) and thought the conversation might end on a pleasant note but larry just shut that down momentarily

"It's truffle season...it's wonderful. Do you like truffles?" "No, I...I loathe them. They're disgusting. To each, his own."

[@e.t.464]

This is amazing. Look at each word they say as an effort to be the dominant one and not the fool, this is expected given Bryan playing a psychoanalyst and Larry playing a narcissist.

[@fullbag50]

This is especially true as the clip ends as Larry does not tell Bryan he is fired or will no longer be his therapist. Instead, Larry gives Bryan the option to release him as a patient. This is COMPLETE narcissism on Larry's part, to a three-dimensional chess degree.

[@nawazmohammed7519]

“I don’t find that interesting at all” 😂 great scene “I’m willing to go chair shopping with you” “why don’t u put a clock behind me” lol

[@mnsnerd]

Bryan Cranston's face at 2:21 when Larry says, "Well, I'm often never honest with you . . ." is priceless.

[@maxhirsch7035]

As a therapist myself, frankly I think that Larry has a point with the chairs. Starting out in independent practice, when I first had to furnish an office with my own chairs, I obsessed a bit on the issue because I wanted a really comfortable chair, but didn't feel comfortable spending what it would cost to get two chairs of the quality I wanted- but nevertheless was a bit neurotic about 'chair parity, and wasn't willing to skimp on the patient's chair. Ended up with two very nice chairs of the same manufacture and 'level,' but got a substantial discount on a slightly style-mismatched set. Then I figured, hell, I'll be the one sitting in there all day, so I chose the just-slightly more comfortable one. Generally patients absolutely loved their chair, but a couple of them did complain, though like Larry, they complained about just about everything. He's totally doesn't get truffles though. Amusingly enough, my step-daughter, who doesn't like truffles either, complained that they smell to her like smelly locker sneakers. But that's the point- sublimely-flavored smelly locker sneakers is what we're talking about here. After the chairs.

A friends wife told me my personality reminded her of Larry David's [it wasn't meant as a compliment]. I wouldn't watch the show because I never cared much for Seinfeld. A couple of weeks ago I discovered these 3 minute KZbin clips. I'm so glad I missed it all because now I have the pleasure of binge watching in total... It really is genius.

[@Grilledhotchips]

“You have taken the good chair”

[@tomitstube]

"and btw, any time you want to get rid of me as a patient... it'll be okay with me." the ultimate example of passive aggressive.

[@alaron5698]

I don't agree, actually. I think it's just him both being honest about how the therapy isn't all that important to him in classic LD fashion, and also sparing the doctor any undue annoyance, as Larry is self-aware enough to know that he's not exactly a standard patient, he doesn't really "need" help, and he's also aware that he's somewhat grating personality-wise, at least to many people. He may be a bit indifferent perhaps, but I don't think this is passive aggressive, I think it's just Larry David being Larry David.

[@mh_golfer]

I think he just knows he annoys the hell out of most people.

[@CrookedNose2131]

I don't think it's passive aggressive.

[@tomitstube]

@@CrookedNose2131 sure, i totally understand why you'd disagree with that.

[@openyourmind3763]

As a therapist, I find this very funny!

[@mamesushi136]

I was thinking about how the chair Larry's sitting looks uncomfortable when he mentioned it

[@mattzx003]

That's because he was fidgeting in it uncomfortably, the shrink also noticed, that's how the topic was initially brought up.

[@rhysjones1108]

Marshall Fleming actually he was straining his face in thought and when asked about what he was thinking about he then brought up the chairs

[@Baghuul]

It's something George costansa would complain about

[@emuwarrior13]

Absolutely. George Costanza as a character is just one big Larry David impression, according to Jason Alexander himself

[@vonniecoyle6216]

Getting ready to regift...tis the season

[@nobunaga0088]

True can see an entire episode about it.

[@travelvlogger3673]

He is Costanza.

[@stagna1959]

George Costanza would never go to shrink and pay for it . George : He didn't do anything: touch this / feel that, 75 bucks. Jerry :Well, its a first visit George :Well, its 75 bucks. What, am I seeing Sinatra in there? Am I being entertained? I don't understand this. I'm only paying half. And therapists are even more useless than regular doctors .No wonder all therapists in CYE are completely useless pricks . The one who talked about Star Wars director in line and charged Larry for that talk, the other who wore thongs in Santa Barbara beach, the third who agreed to stage fake robbery and went to prison and character in this video too .

[@Whoknowsuknow]

I can respect Larry telling his therapist to dump him as a patient when he's had enough. I feel like telling my therapist the same thing.

[@williamrobbins5562]

So why don't you?

[@Whoknowsuknow]

@@williamrobbins5562 I worry about making things more awkward.

[@marztar]

Talk to your therapist about your ass tulip. It's when your rectum protrudes out revealing the pink inner fleshy texture. It happened to my friend after giving birth and it really bothered her walking around with an anus dangling about like testicles. Doctors and social workers didn't want to talk about it with her they just said "it will pass" and referred her to other specialists.

[@ComradeKoopa]

​@@WhoknowsuknowDo you think the therapist would feel awkward?

[@Whoknowsuknow]

@@ComradeKoopa sure

[@weirdshibainu]

My therapist was 10 minutes late. I asked for a discount as I wouldn't get the full hour. We spent the remainder of the session talking about it...at the end no discount. But she did make me feel good about it.

[@__seeker__]

That last sentence Larry said before he closed the door is EXACTLY what I tell a therapist when I see them for the first time. One of them actually took me up on it.

[@kgfes]

The 71 virgins issue is exactly the sort of petty stuff that Larry would bring up if he ends up in heaven

I like Bryan! He my favitore from Malcolm in Middle! I hope i get to look like him. He looks great with beard

[@hwahid8]

I love Bryan Cranston and he plays this role very well, as always. Having said that, to me it did seem little weird that to see to him play a character instead of himself on this show, especially since he was on Seinfeld. I am aware that other actors have played roles on both Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, but what makes Bryan Cranston stand out is that he's become super famous since Seinfeld. In a show that acknowledges celebrities, I feel like it would have made more sense to see him play himself. All that aside, I enjoyed this episode of Curb very much and Bryan was awesome in it.

[@ajmosutra7667]

No i loved this role

[@Rampart.X]

Or a nobody actor play the role of therapist to maintain the illusion that recognisable people play themselves.

[@weedshoes5089]

Are the people who play themselves usually comedians? Cranston is a great actor, but has he done any stand-up?
