I recently started watching “Curb”, having never seen it before. It’s pretty, pretty, pretty good.

[@reggae-rock-roots]

Oh man, you're so lucky! Enjoy every moment. The show is a masterclass.

[@intintoli]

I envy you my friend! I wish I could see the series again for the first time. One of the absolute funniest shows ever.

[@1fattyfatman]

I could take it or leave it.

[@MrNikedunkpro]

Best comedy of all time

[@daveidmarx8296]

Started binging it a month ago... I'm up to season nine. I'll say this - Seinfeld USED to be my sitcom of all time but Curb has definitely overtaken it. Palestinian Chicken is the funniest half hour of TV I have ever watched.

"A date is an experience you have with another person that makes you appreciate being alone." Larry David 🤣

[@judithbreastsler]

how else are you to appreciate being alone than to spend time with other people?

[@verbalbhargava]

"Lol"

[@kaafimohmed]

wheres this quote from im dying to see larry say it

[@joeterp5615]

Larry is just so damn funny. I think he’s in a league of his own.

[@claudiuflorea2090]

He definitely keeps the spirits above into an era of American superficiality between comics.

[@leeb.5795]

​@@claudiuflorea2090What???

Definitely.

[@scottwhallin2461]

I must agree

[@blessingsoutlaw]

Did he come up with that on the spot? 😂

[@amjh4lah809]

Absolutely, positively LOVE Larry David. Comedy genius/legend❤

[@PrometheusZandski]

One of the biggest comedic giants of the last 50 years. Larry needs his own museum.

[@coryklein84]

"that's really none of your business" is a hilarious thing to say in that context

[@intintoli]

Right? Just asking for the movie title. Larry is a genius. 😂

[@howard5992]

TBH, the point when appearing was to promote Curb. The movie was released in the US in June and this interview was about four months later. Larry wanted to stay on track. LOL

[@leeb.5795]

😂😂

[@dimitreze]

Dave is more than pleased to just follow the rehearsed questions and Larry wants to play a little more

[@lynnturman8157]

I don't think Dave asked any rehearsed questions. Which was typical Dave.

[@dimitreze]

watch again he is reading his paper all the time

[@lynnturman8157]

@@dimitreze Watch it again just so you can prove me wrong? Not happening.

[@howard5992]

@@dimitreze - not to argue, but rehearsed means Larry knew the questions in advance and they had gone over the expected answers. Letterman having notes doesn't mean the interview had been rehearsed. But I get your point - usually the host and the guest map out the interview so it "flows" more easily. On many occasions it is clear that the questions are predetermined to elicit a specific answer (such as to set up a story that's expected to be entertaining).

[@YerpDerp17]

@@lynnturman8157 This is so unhinged and weird. lol Why are people so afraid to be wrong? It's such a childish and insecure way to go about life. But to each their own.

[@mylittlepitbull3143]

very Lucky to have both these guys on the same stage.

[@stroock6394]

at 5:30 they cut out a piece! i remember larry saying something like 'i probably broke your record'... don't be so insecure dave leave the whole tv segment intact!

[@villll]

where’s the original

[@stroock6394]

@@villll who knows at this point... ever since this channel became active again the worldwide pants copyright gestapo have been in full effect, even good ol dailymotion didn't have the clip when i looked

[@hovelbunker713]

We love these, thank you Dave.

[@Kylefassbinderful]

These two are like irish twins. They're hilarious apart and together they're unstoppable lol

[@ViluR123]

Great chemistry between those two

[@henriqueyoh]

the bit on the doll was genius

[@DaRealCheeseboy]

Wonder what they cut out at 5:33. You can hear the audience go silent suddenly after clapping and laughing.

[@Troy_Tempest]

Pritaaaaaaay, pritaay good

[@alexander3543]

We should be grateful to Jerry for bringing out Larry’s best self

[@alanFconrad]

Larry rocks....what a mind

[@ajn465]

Dave did an amazing job of Beck stopping Larry‘s bits. He knew when guys would come on who could play first chair. And he would happily and deftly play the straight man for them.

[@JiveDadson]

In Vaudeville, the straight man was called the "first banana" and always got top billing.

[@kstepko]

I wonder if Larry’s parents are still alive?

[@RonGerstein]

Yes, I just talked with both of them.

[@ysgol3]

I've been wondering that. I've no idea I'm afraid.

[@Knypsterino]

Legends 🙏🙏

[@Marleystrummer]

Both David's are genius 👏 and Larry Charles was a huge part of Seinfeld and Curb

[@judithbreastsler]

It's strikes me that Dave, despite playing a crotchety old fella for most of his life, actually has a great sense of style a kept in great shape

[@jeffdixon847]

After giving up the booze and having a triple bypass. It was rough there for a while.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Beloved aunt.

[@Am0ment0fB]

Larry "I like to smell my farts. It helps me too think." Dave "Yeah, absolutely." Ha.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Too, two, to. There's actually 3 of 'em. Look into it.

[@flickwtchr]

So funny, one thing that annoys Larry David is fawning, and hilarious to watch his reactions when Letterman was doing that.

[@DylanPattyn]

Awesomeness

[@MM-yi9zn]

Larry is a comedic genius. He contributes laughter!

[@natalie651]

Dave congratulating him on the interview is a special thing.

[@Deyan_B_Travels]

Why is uncle June on this? 😁

[@djhbr]

Larry is like his friend Orange Fish. Much happy now. 😅

[@lorip.1110]

I often find myself agreeing with Larry on Curb. I'm not proud of that fact.

[@ysgol3]

You should be - very very proud.

[@NewFalconerRecords]

He's mostly always right. Not always, but mostly. And he stands up for those who are wrongly done for a lot. It doesn't end well for him of course.

[@howard5992]

@@NewFalconerRecords - he usually starts out close to being right but then goes over-board. Larry isn't so good at letting go. LOL

Larry David has to be the funniest human on the planet

LARRY& DAVE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MEN FUNNY GUYS BOTH I FIND VERY ATTRACTIVE, Urs you too larry! I love men about 8-10 yrs older And both of you are attractive due to your large funny brains!! My dad was one funny father whole neighborhood full of kids would come to the door then ask if my dad to come out do tricks and tell jokez Those kids didnt want myself or brother THEY WANTED MR BUTLER! Dad also passed out cookies I think if still alive he would have done quite well on CURB AS FOR DAVES SHOW DAD WAY A BIT SHY COULDNT DO STAND UP BUT COULD COME UP WITH HALARIOUSLY FUNNY OFF THE CUFF STUFF LARRY, DAVE.. want a cookie? Polly isnt well!!

Don't confuse rooftop solar with mass farms. Rooftop in real reductions in your pocket in the long term.

[@jfxdillon]

I didn’t even know Larry was sick…

[@Am0ment0fB]

Really? I heard he's feeling pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good. Ha.

[@stroock6394]

the cause of the sickness? you guessed it...

[@kevinrhea7332]

The curse of David letterman

[@kevinrhea7332]

Guilt from not casting frank stallone in curb

😂

[@gongqi67]

I am Costanza!

[@kenmckinnell8153]

He seems like the kind of person who would have a problem with a boy in a bubble.

[@Naber_Dan]

Larry just seems like he doesn't like people but he does, and sometimes he doesn't. People get under his skin and that's funny.

[@NewFalconerRecords]

That's me in a nutshell and that's why I love his show to bits.

[@blessingsoutlaw]

Just think - if they married they’d be David David and/or Larry Letterman.

[@sillythekid7380]

Good God he really does look like Dr. Strangelove

[@DoctorRevers]

Why does Dave keep asking the same questions? He’s not paying attention? Guess he’s a bit uncomfortable here.

[@DannyDelorean]

If Dave was still in his villain era at this time, I think he and Larry would have had way more chemistry than this. Larry is a lifelong curmudgeon and misanthrope, Dave I think only pretended to be one, but actually really cared about people.

[@JarJarBinks4ever]

Don't bother Larry by telling him his parents are dead.

[@AlanDavidDoane]

Taken before his time!

[@johntellone3562]

Who?

​@@johntellone3562 Larry David, and David Letterman, are both alive, and well.

How do you handle a hungry maaaan? The man handler....

[@terri6854]

I had to go and check that commercial on YT and after seeing the real thing it makes that bit twice as funny, and the bit makes the commercial twice as funny also.

[@peggyolson6511]

I always thought Letterman was over-rated and never understood the fuss about him and why everyone kisses his ass. Larry said he was glad his parents weren't alive to see him on the Letterman show coz it would be a debacle. And a minute later Dave asked Larry if his parents were still alive. And to save his own face, he repeated it later. What an ass.

[@vrvaughn]

It’s a shame these two missed vaudeville… who’s on first?

[@walterfristoe4643]

His parents are only "mostly dead." 🙈🙉🙊

[@kik0haching]

So he forgot the name of Woody Allen's movie?

[@DroolRockworm]

Does Larry David hate Dave Letterman for some reason? It kinda seems like it

[@jusforever8185]

Larry hates something about everyone, lol. That's literally what his show is about.

[@water3745]

Hmm.. this is the first time I've seen Letterman dominated by a guest.

[@utoob23]

He's funny in small doses.

[@massapower]

2009 zip to 2024.. LARRY still looks the same... Must be the Jewish Genes😎👊

[@AstroJenkins]

It’s because he went bald and grey 20+ years ago. Do Jews really think they have some high placement on the hierarchy of aging? LMAO they’re at the bottom with the Chinese in that realm. Most old Jews look like ass. The young Jewish women look great though, can’t knock those big-breasted, curly-haired brunette goddesses.

[@drewtabke3294]
