From airports to airplanes, hotels to restaurants, a literal buffet of slights, misunderstandings, and aggravations is offered up to the viewer in a one-hour comedic feast.
If you had to sum up this wild episode in a single line, it might just be Cheryl asking Larry, "What are you doing in the lobby, 20 minutes before the show, fighting with a Sikh?"Ī revival of Mel Brooks' The Producers starring Larry and a perpetually annoyed David Schwimmer has the crew flying to New York for the Broadway debut, which also provides the perfect excuse to explore the multiple indignities of travel (and tipping). It's the kind of gasp-worthy bit you'll only find on Curb.

Finally, a TV Survivor (Colby Donaldson, a former Survivor contestant) meets an actual Survivor (from, you know, the Holocaust), resulting in a debate over who had it tougher. Also, Larry and Cheryl plan their vow renewal, which he won't recite as written ("for all eternity" is something he simply cannot commit to), demonstrating his supernatural inability to take things figuratively. In an inspired bit of casting, Gina Gershon plays a heavily-accented Hasidic woman who works at a dry cleaner and has a major thing for Larry (not to mention an atypical approach to sex). Larry, does, however, meet a woman who makes him want to take Cheryl up on her offer. Further digging reveals that he died "uptown, after being hit by a bike messenger," which really aggravates Larry, who (as usual) cannot keep his feelings hidden. When Larry consults with his rabbi about the ethics of Cheryl's anniversary "gift" (permission to cheat, just once), the holy man points to a photo of his dead brother-in-law, who, indeed, died on 9/11. In the end, Monena shares some strong herbage with Larry and his dad, bringing out Larry's inner Gollum.ĩ/11 is not typical fodder for comedy, but if anyone can pull it off, it's Larry David.
Super Dave Osborne) has car trouble and asks Larry to take him to the airport, which leads to more drug-related problems. After the game, Marty Funkhouser ( Bob Einstein, a.k.a. LD needs to use the carpool lane to get to the game on time, but he's riding solo, so, naturally, he does what anyone would do and hires a sex worker (Monena, played by Kym Whitley) to ride shotgun. There are two main threads: Larry buys "schwag" from a pot dealer (played by Lost's Jorge Garcia) to help his dad with his glaucoma while also desperately trying to attend the aforementioned Dodgers game. The episode circles around loose themes of sex, drugs, and breakin' the law. ( The Netflix doc Long Shot gets into all the details.) "The Car Pool Lane," considered by many Curb fanatics to be one of the show's all-time great episodes, contains footage shot at Dodger Stadium that was successfully used to prove a man was watching baseball when the prosecution thought he was, um, committing murder. We're prett-ay sure this is the only scripted comedy in television history to help save a man from death row. Later, while waiting in line to see a friend's play, Larry whistles a Richard Wagner refrain within earshot of a fellow Jewish man, who angrily informs him that the German composer was an antisemite and Larry's enjoyment of his music makes him a "self-loathing Jew." In true Curb fashion, once Larry figures out that this man is also the father of one of the trick-or-treat vandals, he hires an orchestra to play Wagner's music outside of the man's house, the classiest payback ever. The cops are called, and they're both confounded by Larry (a pattern that's repeated, ad nauseam), disagreeing with his description of the graffiti as a "hate crime." Their attempt at explaining the meaning of a "social contract" to him (not knowing, as we do, that this is a man for whom the term holds no meaning) is a comedic delight. After Larry refuses to give candy to a pair of un-costumed teens on Halloween, the David's yard is vandalized with toilet paper and graffiti ("bald a-hole" is spray-painted on their door).

Curb knows how to turn even the most banal questions - like, say, "How old is too old to trick-or-treat?" - into battlefields.
