[@SJ.77]

Yep - sold by black chieftains to the Marrano Jews who actually ran the slave trade - the term "slave" comes from the Slavs (white Europeans) who were enslaved by the dark skinned Ottomans in their millions...and that goes back way further than 400 years....

[@d.fenestrator9529]

And slavery still exists today in Africa. Africans have been enslaving Africans for centuries.

[@jdaigle74]

The best show on TV ever... period

[@jocelynbaker6718]

This scene really caught me off guard - normally in Curb the situations are so absurd and LD tries to use his words to get out of them in realistic-feeling but still over the top ways (ultimately putting his foot in his mouth or temporarily succeeding only for the other shoe to drop later), but here he just doesn't say anything despite the "long story" only being a few words long. Obviously the "long story" line tees up "like 400 years long" which is great, but I kept wondering why he didn't just say "I'm staying at an AirBnB and need to replace the lawn decor after breaking it." Definitely an odd off-beat moment for Curb

[@NewFalconerRecords]

He has done this same thing in several episodes. An honest answer would probably get him out of trouble (and you wonder why he just doesn't tell the truth) but he always goes for the comedy of the situation, to dig himself into a further hole. I'm with you though. Just tell the guy the simple truth!

[@kevinstrand4596]

I hate to say it, but this season just hasn't started as strong as a lot of others. No subtlety, scenes/plotlines effectively reused from older seasons making it too predictable.

[@oofowie8882]

This is gonna blow your mind, but sometimes people in tv shows act in ways that create humorous situations, rather than always doing the most rational thing

[@Whoopdido777]

Well that would have been the easy and logical thing to do and if the salesman was reasonable he would have understood, but then the situation wouldn’t have been somewhat funny.

At any rate, ripped out by the successor owners about 30 years later. LOL.

[@Unethical_Ethical_HackTips]

Whats funny about this is that in real life if Larry and Jeff just explained the situation honestly I think it would come off as a innocent and hilarious story😂😂 think about it. If larry just said "Listen, I'm staying at an air bnb and they have a black lawn jokey and we felt so uncomfortable with it and didn't want to come off as racist and in the process of moving it we accidentally broke it so now we need to replace it because we don't want to upset the owner and have them think we are racist for breaking it AND I want my security deposit back😂.....

black jockeys were not slaves. Why would anyone assume that? They were employed as jockeys. It was a job.

As I listened to her inane ramblings I kept on looking at the door, waiting for her to clean the mess or at least offer to do so. Then off she went. I turned my key and opened the door, practically up to my elbows in greasy filling and of course the call I'd been waiting for rang, so I unsuccessfully tried a two finger extraction from my pocket just to discover it was my friend who needed to borrow a car, and I just gave up on the day and stood under the shower in my clothing.

I was at a Best Buy looking at a Photo Slave unit. It’s called that, because it attaches to your camera and activates a flash when your camera takes a photo. An employee walked by me in the next aisle. I said to her “Um excuse me…” Just then a different employee came up behind me . This “Person” was 6’3 300lbs, male/trans/gay black. “Um er uh, can I help you Sir?” I said “ Uhhh….yeah… I had some questions about this…uh…unit. “ He/she looked down at it, and in a VERY LOUD AND INDIGNANT voice, that the whole store could hear…shouted,” Oh you wanna know about this SLAVE unit? Yeah, uh-huh. Yes SIRRRR! I can tell you all about this SLAVE unit!” . This was a few years ago, but I remember thinking, this was a perfect Larry David moment.
