I thought this episode was kind of up and down. The MAGA hat bit is brilliant. Also a big part of my love of this show is growing up with a very Larry-esque father (which has rubbed off on me to an extent). “You don’t have to call when you land. If the plane crashes I’ll hear about it.” is a verbatim quote from him.

I don’t really read the #MeToo plot as “women be crazy about assault!” It’s very much about how someone with as little sense of boundaries or norms as Larry would bumble into a situation like this and how he’s handling it so far is very in character.

He's actually in the right on the car because presumably he didn't transfer ownership of it officially.

coronavirus posted:I appreciate how they wrote a transperson as just a regular character, with the same respect and jokes as anyone else on the show. He didn't write it so they had to avoid any mention of difference, but I felt they did it in an understanding and considerate way. I wonder if the trans actor or maybe writers on the show had input. Chaz Bono is one of the most famous trans men in the world and was out long before it even began to approach the current levels of social acceptability so I'm sure he had some input or thoughts. Larry is consistently an "equal opportunity offender" type except instead of doing it for shock value he's just finding humor in his own curiosity and insensitivity.

coronavirus posted:I had no idea that was Chaz Bono. Thought it was some random up-and-comer in LA. Cool. Would you believe he's 51? I mean I guess he'd have to be because of his parents and it makes sense given Funkhauser's age but he looks 30.

I feel like Albert Brooks is the kind of person who should exist as himself in this universe but that would make it extra weird being Bob Einstein’s brother. Then again the Funkhousers already have one family member who’s way too famous in real life (Vince Vaughn).

Pretty underwhelming episode. Still has a baseline level of funny that all Curbs have but a little too predictable without many memorable ideas.

Helping a Klansman because he feels bad about spilling coffee on his robe is a stretch even for Larry. That one definitely feels the most like an amusing observation he had ("do Klansmen get their robes dry cleaned?") turned into a plot point.

The thing that's bugging me more about this season (and later seasons in general) than older ones is that Larry is very obviously in the wrong much more often than in the past.

DOPE FIEND KILLA G posted:this is something that people claim every season that i don't think is true. sure there are plenty of times were we can sympathize with larry, but there are also numerous situations were he is just plain a prick. take for example Denise Handicapped, one of my favorite episodes, I don't think there's even a second of that one were Larry is in the right. I tend to believe Larry is fully right about half the time, "he's right but he shouldn't say it" about 25% and totally wrong about 25%, but now it feels reversed.

BabyRyoga posted:I know this is fake post, because the show is literally people constantly telling Larry to shut the gently caress up. Do yourself a favor and actually watch it. If only there was a character, perhaps a woman, who would literally say the phrase "shut the gently caress up Larry" or some variation of it in almost every episode.

Bird in a Blender posted:I’m in shock that he showed up season 5. I keep think he showed up later. I guess the large spacing between seasons is screwing with my memory. Season 6. When they take in the Black family (which doesn’t actually include Leon; he’s just a relative who lives in LA as I recall).
