Curb Your Enthusiasm [Season 9]

The staring expression of pure hatred on Funkhouser's face when he looks at LD always cracks me up.

Badabing · 13-11-2017 1:40pm

New episode is brilliant! Fcuk scent!
Poor uber driver

pickarooney · 14-11-2017 1:52pm

This last one cracked me up.
JB Smoove and LD are the best comedy pairing on TV at the moment.

smuckers · 14-11-2017 3:34pm

Loved NAMASTE, the scene where Larry pretends he has aspergas was hilarious. "I'm a good driver".

Hopefully we seen Cousin Andy before the season closes.

ballsymchugh · 14-11-2017 4:26pm

what was the joke at the end?

do i hear a jew?

and then

I'm not doing that!!

what do jewish women not do?!!

RasTa · 14-11-2017 10:00pm

Loved it when Larry broke into laughter at the suggestion of fostering a kid.

nc6000 · 15-11-2017 11:40pm

That was a really good episode, one of the best ever. I'm struggling to recall a better one.

ballsymchugh · 16-11-2017 12:04am

it's unusual to see so many episodes where things are working out in his favour!!

sonofenoch · 17-11-2017 11:25am

His glasses fogging up when he walked in the door

furiousox · 20-11-2017 8:29pm

"Fatwa!"

Welsh Megaman · 20-11-2017 11:38pm

Thank you, Mooftis and Mufti’s

smuckers · 20-11-2017 11:51pm

Probably the weakest ep in a while, more funnier moments in Namaste, possibly didn't help with the lack of Jeff Suzie and Leon. Things I did like, Funkhauser living it up lol. The Pemberton interview, and LD laying into Eddie. I found the tribunal part a bit too convoluted but realised it had to be done.

"Now get under those covers. You're going to go to sleep...and I'm going to have sex with your mother"

As soon as he walked into the room and sat on the boy on his bed did anyone think "ehhhhhh a bit Kevin Spacey...."? :eek:

Bad timing for Larry.

mirror of the court case in the Seinfeld finale where they reviewed things the characters had done.

Flip the tip ....gratitude sex...we don't queue for seconds

another great episode

only 2 left, could be the last

Seriously how do you make that connection? There was no sexual assault whatsoever and it was a comedic scene.

Really don't want to live in a world where people can't make jokes and people twist it to something completely different.

^^ Is one of the most ridiculous things I've read on Boards and it's a sad state of affairs that you are making such a connection

furiousox · 22-11-2017 8:56pm

Funkhouser giving Larry the death stare again in the restaurant...:D

Welsh Megaman · 22-11-2017 10:50pm

Who remembers Funkhouser as Super Dave the Daredevil Stuntman back in the 70’s and 80’s?

smuckers · 28-11-2017 12:13am

The Shucker turned out to be a great ep, after a slow start. Larry Long Balls is the line of the season. LD racing with Miranda reminded me of Season one with the girl in the lift. Only one ep.

S.M.B. · 28-11-2017 12:31am

Leon on Judge Judy is something I never knew I wanted until I actually saw it before my very eyes. I could have done with am entire episode of it.

jester77 · 28-11-2017 1:33pm

Leon's expression when he noticed the plant missing and that delivery of f*ck was epic

OwaynOTT · 29-11-2017 1:13am

Leon is the shows MVP.

sonofenoch · 29-11-2017 1:21am

Thats Larry long balls

:D

murpho999 · 30-11-2017 11:21am

Saw this last night and loved it.

I laughed at Jeff's cowboy transformation.

Also, love how Larry just decides to throw people out immediately after dinner.

Duggie2012 · 30-11-2017 1:27pm

the best line i think in this series so far was when jeff asks leon to leave cause hes wants a private talk with larry. and leon goes “Once I start laughing, I'm a part of this sh1t.” thought that was brilliant

pickarooney · 30-11-2017 7:25pm

I would love to have JB Smoove on the SatNav

Welsh Megaman · 04-12-2017 10:44pm

And now, the end is near...

sonofenoch · 05-12-2017 12:31am

Started slowly then some really lovely pieces and a classic ending ....much like the series itself

All the best Lar

OwaynOTT · 05-12-2017 2:11am

Is that it? No more?

Really strong finish if so. Outfit tracking!

Sign language done by the correct signer is a powerful thing !!!

Started and finished S9 last weekend. It's good at times and still better than most comedies on tv, but taken as a whole season I just felt it was very tired. The joke is wearing a bit thin I feel, and the set ups are very obvious. I still enjoyed it though.

A couple of other comments: Cheryl has aged a lot since the last series, Funkhouser looks permanently stunned (in a Bruce Jenner really bad facelift way), but Larry and Jeff just look like Larry and Jeff!

Agree with a lot that you say.

Watch the finale last night and thought it was a weaker episode.

It could be down to me though also not really knowing the famous musical writer.

Enjoyed the season overall but it was full of hits and misses.

Nothing will beat those early seasons but I suppose it's hard to keep up those high standards over a sustained period of times and also be consistent.

As you say though it's still better than the majority of comedies on TV today.
I wonder if we'll get a season 10 ?

I guess that depends on the size of the cheque doesn't it?!

Unfortunately I think that was a big reason for doing this last season. It's not really added anything to the body of work. I wouldn't think any less of the show if it stayed at 8 seasons; but equally I don' think any better of it based on the addition of S9.

A tad harsh, there were some good moments and episodes. I liked the deliberate accidental text one for instance.

I think if you read my earlier post I'm bot saying there weren't some good moments! I'm not saying it was crap by any means!

The accidental text idea is hardly new though - I've used it myself more than once, and going back years

sham69 · 14-12-2017 10:15am

Loved it , agree there were some good and some average episodes.
A half decent curb is still miles ahead of most comedy shows.
The guest actors were great, Bryan Cranston especially.
Here's hoping for another season, with Leon...

furiousox · 14-12-2017 7:36pm

Season 10 confirmed!

Pretty Pretty Good. On a side note, Larry David congratulating Julia Louis-Dreyfus for winning the Mark Twain prize is hilarious and like a small sketch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvgR03Qg4_U.

He was excellent.
Wouldn't surprise me if they work his death into the show somehow.

hopefully involving the wan from the palestinian chicken place!
his eulogy at his nephew's funeral was hilarious.

'he was like the son i never had, until my daughter decided to become a man!' (or something like that!)

New season in January!

brian_t · 05-12-2019 7:32pm

sligojoek · 05-12-2019 8:44pm

I read somewhere yesterday that they wouldn't be "killing off" Marty. They're going to speak about him as if he's still alive.
