Why is this show doing Will Smith slap jokes in 2024

It wasn't a great line, but Jeff basically telling the guy "my wife sucks play along" was funny.

seems clear to me a lot of this was written between 2020-2022 but had to wait until now due to pandemic issues

It was the yelling about keeping my wife's business out of your mouth shortly after Larry offended a woman who he didn't realize had alopecia that made it clear he was doing the Slap.

second instance this season of them explicitly referencing him working on the finale. between that and him committing a good samaritan crime, clearly Larry wants it in our heads. but I expect subversion since they already basicaly did a reverse-seinfeld finale joke in the Fatwa season

I'd heard most of S11 was written prior to it though. theres only one reference to it which quite frankly is a lot weirder than just not referencing it at all

Wonder if they got paid to draw them or Larry David just figured it would be too tempting if they put up a real billboard. The link does go to the HBO store to buy the caftan for $75. Is there a pun in the name I'm missing Catch as Caftan?

vvvv Thats gotta be it. I had never heard that phrase before.

Old Town Road to EGOT

This middle of the night emergency news call list reminded me that in the 90s, my mom got a call from the daughter of a friend of hers from college that her mom had died at like 3 in the morning. My mom and this person weren't even close.

e: "There was a cunnilingus pioneer out there. We don't know who it was. They should get some credit for that."
"Put that motherfucker on the Mount Rushmore of pussy eaters. They all got their tongue out and poo poo. You know what I mean?"

Oh hell yeah, next week is the episode that Conan's on.

Was a bit looney tunes but I enjoyed the hell out of it. Also liked that the artist was fully onboard with Larry start to finish. Hope we see more of her.

They showed the text chain at the end but I was surprised there was no payoff like Larry being kicked out of it or losing it and leaving. Good ep though, that dog is super loving getting eaten by a coyote later too.
