Clear 2nd best episode of the season.

My fav scene has to be when Leon is riding in the broken seat....especially the first 15 seconds where he is tryna figure out what was goin on....rofl so good.

The Susie scene was definitely pretty dumb/"over the top," but I couldn't stop lolling at LD's expression

LD- "He gave you this?!"

Leon- "Nah I stole it"

Leon and Buckner absolutely killed in this episode.

yeah, this was was incredibly over the top. I love CYE all more when it's subtle and more on the realistic side.

I enjoy the subtle moments in curb as well.

That being said, I laughed harder during the larry/susie car ride scene, and larry singing the mr. softie ice cream truck song.

+1 on buckner being awesome. I like that he ended up catching the baby.

I will say that this is the first season in a long time where there's not really a season long story arc. I miss that. Next week is the finale but it may as well just be another episode.

On another note one of my favorite scenes of all time is from the "Thor" episode with Larry and Jason Alexander arguing about whose house they are going to meet at. "This isn't a meeting about the show this is a meeting about having the meeting". Another example would be Larry arguing with the doctor about using the phone in the office "yea there's definitely a prick"
I feel like this show is now lacking those kind of moments and replaced with things like Larry arguing with Yari where he just instantly explodes and starts yelling and dropping f bombs, instead of witty banter.

Having said that, there has been some pretty hilarious moments this season, and I'm sad we are about out of new Curb again.

Throughout the season:
Leon-amazing
Lack of Cheryl-meh
Lack of Funkman

This ep was decent. I laughed hard at Larry singing the softee song, Jeff and Larry have amazing rapport, and obv Leon is the ****ing man.

But some of these storylines are way over the top. Like with Suzie and Larry arguing about the car. Jesus, just tell her its broken so she has to sit in the back, or don't drive it until you get it fixed. You're Larry ****ing David, just rent/buy a new car ffs.

We need more banter like Larry and Jeff at the beginning when they agreed to split the food and then Jeff backs out. That's classic CYE.

Overall I'd give this ep a B- but the season (and series) still is a solid A because it just has too many amazing scenes.

Very slightly off topic but they re-ran the Kamkize Bingo ep the other night on network tv and I was rolling the whole time. Larry thinks the bingo game is rigged, lol... (And his expression when he hits bingo is hilarious)

Chicken? Chicken? Chicken???? Priceless ep imo.

am i the only who noticed the crappy edits in this episode? Let me preface this by saying, i know it's Curb, i love it, i know it's comedy,don't be so nitpicky, yada yada yada...

During the signing scene, the same guy went up to Mookie twice. When Buckner and Larry went to the Jewish thing, they showed Buckner taking the yarmuckle twice. like i said, nitpicky, but pretty friggen sloppy imo.

Smigel's scenes were horrible, really don't like the fact that he went full out Triumph. Also, Ana Gasteyer looks terrible. I know, nitpick.

and i dont know, the flashback wasnt funny to me, buckner not catching that ball and the outrage that followed was dumb b/c a Mookie Wilson ball is worth jack. you can buy one from Steiner for like $50. I know, nitpick, don't nitpick CYE.

The baby scene was ******ed. It looked ridiculous when it was in the air, should have just covered it's face and not do that weird cg. and the mother drops the baby, Buckner catches it, and then she's right next to him a second later. I know, dont nitpick CYE.

I still dont love Leon, never have, never will.

so there ya go. least favorite episode of the season, especially when you factor in it being the 2nd to last.

I went right to the bottom of the page to post so I wouldn't be influenced by any other posts. This was the best Curb I've ever seen. Larry's face when he was driving Susie to the fire had me howling. Other highlights: Leon stealing the ball...Susie yelling at Buckner...Buckner catching the baby (I thought for sure he was going to drop it)...Larry at the prayer service...The girlfriend in the car...Leon figuring out that the car was the other man...hell, the whole episode even though the last line was soooo predictable. A+++.

didnt find it up to Curb snuff.

ive never complained about this show (except Leon oversaturation) before this episode. i know people are entitled, but i really dont understand why it's being so universally loved. it's insulting to the rest of the episodes in this show's glorious run.

Has this show ever really had that good editing to begin with?

Also, LOL at people nit-picking the Susie/Larry car scene. First of all, if you're complaining about Larry not getting another car because he's rich, you clearly have never watched this show before and have no clue what kind of a lazy cheapass he truly is. Second of all, Larry DID tell her to go in the back seat, but she bitched him out. Granted, he never said the seat was broken, but she cornered him, you don't expect him to freeze up? Third of all, are you seriously going to accept a boring, uneventful drive with her in the back over a potentially hilarious, outrageous moment of sexual ecstasy? Do I have to **** you guys in the ****s?
