curb your enthusiasm is another show that subtly sets up a lot of little things that all come together by the end of the episode and it's funny as gently caress

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I don't "get" Arrested Development. At all. I've never understood why it's so beloved.

Well, since humor is subjective, and this show is pretty much universally agreed to be a great work of comedic art, this must mean you have a very unique point of view that makes you an interesting person. Tell me more about yourself.

Yeah, but Aside from Larry David, the main actors on the show are incredibly insecure. Like holy gently caress, Susie, take a pill!

Of course not. I find the fact that you did not enjoy a universally acclaimed comedy fascinating and want to know more about the unique person you must be.

Yes. It's not possible that I really didn't like this show. I must just be pretending to not like it so that I seem to have a unique point of view. (And it wasn't "universally acclaimed", except by critics. It got low ratings. People didn't watch it.)

The only way Curb Your Enthusiasm could be less subtle about setup and foreshadowing is if they literally put text on the screen and a voiceover explaining that something will later happen in regards to crazy thing that just happened to/because of Larry.

actually I kind of agree. I loved the show when it first aired but I went back and tried to re-watch it again last year and it just... I dunno, it just wasn't as funny as I remember it being.

Arrested development has like one kinda funny albeit easy joke for every 10 terribly unfunny contrite jokes. That's not including the netflix season which was (unsurprisingly) even more garbage than the original run.

Otoh curb has like 8 hilarious seasons and a lot of it is improvised.

I hate curb because larry david just isn't funny when he doesn't have jerry seinfeld to act out his ~hilarious zany social faux pas~

because when larry david does it he just comes across as an rear end in a top hat

Arrested development is great though, at least the original run.

The characters in Seinfeld were all assholes. They were all kind of bad people. I don't get how people miss this about the show Seinfeld.

Because the majority of shows, especially back then, didn't have a cast that was comprised of nothing but antiheroes.

cause theyre children and/or manchildren who have been spited by every woman theyve ever encountered. creator of the show had to go out of his way to beat audience over the head time and time again that walt is evil and bad in the final seasons and people still didnt fuckin get it.

but walt, despite his cancer and science teacher nerdyness (CLEARLY an ATHEIST) was a sex-haver (two children is proof) and self employed entrepreneur so he was amazing while skyler was a WEALTH SUCKING BITCH who just wanted a husband who wasn't a "criminal" (geez lady way to be picky, why don't you buy another bottle of wine with walt's MONEY)

that's the point. they are all assholes and it's funny

in curb larry is an rear end in a top hat and it's usually just dumb. not funny


there are exceptions of course but curb just makes me cringe. maybe because i know too many people like him in real life, just like how the white trash folks i know can't stand trailer park boys because it reminds them of growing up
