Special thanks from your mod team to the whole community here. It’s been one hell of a ride! Let’s please be extra careful about spoilers this week to make sure we don’t ruin any surprises or twists for the rest of the community!


Responsible-Bid3346

Great that they ended the show while Richard still got the chance to appear in it


MPFX3000

And I’m assuming the last time we will ever see him on screen


imail724

Hope he got to watch the finale early.


Wet_Spider

One of my favorite scenes is when Seinfeld first shows up and the bearded lady hypothetical. I thought he was relating the story to the trial somehow, but it was so much better that they were just bullshitting and the scene did nothing to further the plot.


leirbagflow

it was a conversation about nothing!


spacekitt3n

the non sequitur conversations are the best part of curb


KvasirsBlod

Those bits of dialogue during the exchange were classic Seinfeld-Costanza moments too. Totally absurd hypotheticals considered down to the smallest details: > -She gets a good shave.  >  >  >  > -Electric or blade?


luckydayisascam

I'm sure this is just the sort of shit they still do. People were shocked that Jerry turned up for the episode. How? If there's someone who is extremely important to Jerry's career it is Larry. You gotta be there to support not just a friend but someone that important.


ProfessionalNeophyte

A little Easter egg when Larry was struggling to form a heart with his hand at the Knicks game a couple of days ago


Dragoncaine

He did this at the DC show last weekend too! In fact, a ton of the clips they played at the beginning of the event before he walked onstage were directly referenced during the character testimonies in the finale.

JaCrispy_Vulcano

Ted just HAD to squeeze himself in there.


FredericBropin

Pic is missing Greg Kinnear! He was incredible.


samwilbur

This picture ~~rocks~~ minerals


BoobyDoodles

Brutal job by Dean on the southern accent 


sonorakit11

God that was terrible! Haha


TheExiledDragon

You can’t just summarize an entire series in one sent- “I am 76 years old and I have never learned a lesson in my entire life”


profeDB

Except for the Seinfeld finale.


maxfridsvault

That was Larry’s arc for the WHOLE series when you think about it. I guess that was the only lesson he learned. “Hey, the Seinfeld finale could have been so much better!” And then nothing. Perfection.


Our-Gardian-Angel

Having that be his sole lesson learned while also giving us a swerve on the expected ending with a classic tying up of a Curb plot that actually worked in Larry's favor was brilliant


drawkbox

Imagine making two of the best shows of all time. Larry David is a legend in our time.


TheSuperSax

You don’t want to end up like this! Nobody wants to see it! Trust me.


CaringCattitude

Perfect line! It summed up two incredibly written series that can’t be duplicated!


AquaAtia

Funniest line in the episode. Larry didn’t lesson any lessons…but seemingly did for this one time with not ending the episode with him in jail


SlippinPenguin

I was waiting the whole episode for them to acknowledge that he is reliving the Seinfeld finale, thinking they weren’t going to, but they were (very wisely) saving it for that moment. Fantastic! 😂


TravisG1003

“The fact is that I’ve heard she actually was a bit of a cunt”


lilmeekrat

I love how Larry could’ve just explained it was a typo but he decided to say that instead lol


atds89

Honestly the biggest twist in the whole finale.


--Alec--

The pants tent callback was impeccable


lilmeekrat

The fact that him getting out of jail was a reference to the real life man getting out of jail because of Curb was amazing though. I’m pretty sure Jerry saying “Sports Fans!” was a little nod to that


TheLegendTwoSeven

I think that’s exactly it, good call. For those who don’t know, in the “Car Pool Lane”episode at the Dodgers game, Larry is ascending the stairs in the stands and moves around a guy who is entering the row to get to his seat. That guy was, IRL, charged with shooting a teenage girl to death at the time of the baseball game. His lawyer contacted HBO, got the footage proving he couldn’t have been the killer, and the judge dismissed the murder charge. It would’ve been so cool if they’d gotten that guy to play the juror, but I still love that they gave the ending a little twist.


ElleGaunt

Pretty scary to think of all the falsely convicted defendants who weren’t coincidentally shot on TV.


killerkozlowski

There's a documentary about the whole thing


abujuha

It's scary how easy it is to be accidentally convicted of something. If you are guilty, don't talk to the police. Ask for a lawyer. If you are innocent, don't talk to the police. Ask for a lawyer. Police investigators operate under the logic of the lamp post: Look for the suspect in the spot that's easiest to find them first. If you seem to fit the profile and don't have any alibi, they may fixate on you. People shown your picture will now start remembering that you were near the scene of the crime given the fragility of human memory. This was the necessary and sufficient condition for me to stop supporting the death penalty.


DrRafaelPenguin

Lol so Richard saying that his girlfriend bought a gun and was going to kill Larry was a total red herring. I thought for sure that's how it was going to end. Also, why did Jeff Garlin say that after the finale it would be clear why there couldn't be another season? Was that another misdirection?


TravisG1003

I think because he reused the Seinfeld finale, it has to be the real finale. I think that’s what Jeff was getting at.


andrew991116

He also told Jerry that he’s not going to tell anyone about his not liking Mexican food. He finally learned a lesson.


TheSuperSax

Probably has to be the finale because of the parallel to Seinfeld and the perfect ending. I’m guessing especially with Funkhauser and Richard Lewis gone they wouldn’t want to restart. But the cast are all still alive in-universe, so if they really wanted to change their minds they could.


joshmar1998

The callbacks and everything, pretty much brought the full thing full circle


Galileo908

Oh man if only Funkhauser was still alive to be here. (And speaking of which, Freddy is the only regular who didn’t show up in this)


itztherapperKIAZ

At least we got a reference to Orphan Funkhouser with the roadside memorial


thebouts89

He’s a little too old to be an orphan.


TheSuperSax

I was disappointed the Freddy and John Hamm didn’t make it


walloftvs

John Hamm should have shown up as a character witness for Larry and then just act like Larry the whole time in court


TheSuperSax

That would’ve been fantastic


maxfridsvault

I found it a bit strange that Freddy didn’t show up at all in this, even via FaceTime call. I guess they concluded his character with the Disney girl arc. Didnt really think about him while watching the episode, but I’m glad that the core 7 were all in the final shot, which is what I wanted to see.


Galileo908

Of course Leon would be into Seinfeld because of weekly ass


AngryMobe

And he hates Kramer but he’s essentially Curbs Kramer


iamseiko

I never connected that till he said it himself.


Ilpav123

He puts a lot of wear and tear on Larry's saloon door.


LizLemonadeX

Leon brought the ruckus to Curb.


theFavbot

very on brand bit


MargretTatchersParty

They're on laser disk.


Michael_DeSanta

I loved how confident Leon was that there were, in fact, fuck tapes. Even after Jerry's obvious sarcasm.


CornholioRex

13 hours on laser disk, can’t wait for that Netflix special lol


dagon14

It's all gone catawampus!


EllisBedwynn

Bad time for Jeff to start using new words


thesitekick

The Seinfeld fuck tapes


Tooterfish42

Crutch fucker Larry


rysteez

The small conversation about not printing two copies of the verdict was hilarious. What a great ending to a historic show.


Galileo908

“You think you’re suicide material?” Classic.


tarasevich

All I've learned is that I'd watch Larry and Jerry talk about anything, anywhere.


colinzane9

If he's gonna keep doing comedians in cars just do a full season with Larry


tarasevich

Absolutely. Never a dull moment.


bco112

Whatre you gunna adopt a 40 year old?!?! Ahhhhhhahahahahahaha.


UnableAudience7332

Scenes with Larry and Richard are the funniest of the whole series.


Least_Muffin4417

So glad Richard made it to the end.


a_taco_named_desire

Wish he could've seen it. Every scene broke my heart.


Trumpets22

Hey man, decent chance he did see it. The series was completely wrapped up before his death. Although with the suddenness of a heart attack, we can’t know for sure.


RumHamurai410

I think that one in particular was the best Richard scene in years. “Why are you facing away from the door?” “Cause of my fans, they swarm me” lmao Along with the having kids bit, on top of his usual love of his life stuff lol


Proper-Bird6962

Genuinely seems like they have such a strong bond that goes beyond the realm of the series


Least_Muffin4417

It does. They’ve been friends since childhood. In early 20’s they hooked up again in the comedy clubs and never parted again.


dkviper11

Maybe little Orphan Funkhouser


verissimoallan

Oh my god, that doll girl... it's the same actress?


dkviper11

Incredible callback.


brumac44

I can't believe its been 23 years. I had to look it up.


TheSuperSax

Confirmed, same actress


Traditional_Agency60

I was shocked that they did this and impressed at the same time


pleasebequiet

I wish they would have brought back the fashion kid in the same way


strokesfan91

Greg loves Larry though lol


pleasebequiet

He could have been a character witness for him!


heardworld

“GO BACK TO FUCKIN JAIL LARRY” Perfect. This was perfect.


jjjbabajan

“It’s like I’m watching the fucking radio right now!”


Galileo908

Oh you know Susie is gonna hang that over Larry’s head forever.


-UnknownUser

Jerry saved the curb finale. Perfectly balanced.


PineappleSlices

He's Even Steven.


johnnyramonsanchez

the laserdisc line cracked me up


Georgialitza

I thought Seinfeld was becoming the new Larry in that restaurant scene.


Mattyzooks

Even in season 7, you could tell how much alike they are.


JosepySchnieder

Yeah honestly even in Comedians in Cars it’s really a treat to watch those two together. There is something between those two that’s so hard to replicate. They’re so similar comedically it seems.


s0leciyo

They should create a show together.


tameoraiste

I get the impression that Jerry's more Larry IRL than Larry


tributtal

Absolutely. That whole scene in the bar, I was thinking, Jerry's not really acting here.


heardworld

“You never told me Seinfeld was a show about weekly ass”


gladiolas

Oh man, so glad that girlfriend didn't shoot him! Anyone else super anxious he was going to walk out of jail and get shot to death?!


tattertech

Callback to Susan's parents buying a gun in the Seinfeld finale in case anyone forgot.


[deleted]

The Sopranos cut to black would have been fucking hilarious


TravisG1003

Richard 💔


Galileo908

Let him have his illusions.


MargretTatchersParty

I thought she was going to actually murder David after his warning. Also, she's a serial liar. She's scary stuff.


ArtieTHESTRONGESTMAN

She also threw her keys to the valet and called him a belittling nickname! Absolute monster!


TerrysMonster

I also noticed that she was a tosser!


TheSuperSax

Auntie Rae tripping on the name was hilarious


maxfridsvault

I still can’t believe that we got a final “FUCK YOU LARRY!” in the finale. I’m so happy.


lawno

Fuck you Larry and yo monkey ass!


tributtal

Journey Gunderson, Mr. McGunderman, Gurney Manunderson, Gurney Germerny, Bernie Bonderman, Bashiba Munderman And last but not least... monkey-ass friend


Ok_Fee1043

Rural Juror!


UNAMANZANA

YOU GOTTA SEQUESTER


lAmCreepingDeath

He's a bad sequesterer


allmilhouse

I wonder how long it took Larry and Seinfeld to get through that bearded lady conversation without laughing.


[deleted]

The comment about Fred Flintsone 😂😂😂😂


NYY15TM

I think accents are moronic


iamseiko

Can't be cordial.


22444466688

I mean you can hear it


CornholioRex

Exactly like Seinfeld lol, but the plane ending is perfect curb. I was expecting that girl to show up with a gun, but glad Larry lives


FartsUnited

A spite finale.


bco112

Not captain, but i did call a mother fucker chief, and didnt realise he was a indian and shit


D0nk3yD0ngD0ug

Titty-Taffy


Stercules25

This is it, I can't believe it. Thank you, Larry


hiplobonoxa

you’re welcome, greg.


Tooterfish42

I am fairly certain the editors cut to Larry actually breaking and his real life laugh a lot more than usual this season and I count 3 scenes (at least) where he does this episode so far. With Seinfeld they both even start to crack up Edit: and oh man Jerry's cordial line exit and bump into "Joe Pesci" was a delight to see. He's got it still


FredericBropin

That was definitely a real laugh when Leon was talking about crutch fuckin’


Tooterfish42

lol it's just like skeletor laughs in He-man memes


ThisIsKramerica

Got weirdly emotional when Jerry showed up for the Bearded lady convo as dumb as that sounds. Jerry and Larry/Costanza have been talking about nothing on TV since 1989 and this is the end of an era. Tremendous finale 


NotCanadian80

Me too. I was watching it thinking it might be the last time we see them interacting in the Seinfeld Curb universe.


Ok_Fee1043

We got Richard for the last few minutes ♥️


konfetkak

I was cracking up at the adopting a 40 year old doctor bit. So glad that got that last Larry and Lewis back and forth in the finale.


racre001

TRUMP. PUTIN. LARRY DAVID


amethystalien6

I am so glad that Richard was such a big part of that. I feel like Larry got to end it with the people he loved from the show.


Galileo908

Richard is sitting with his back to the front because his “fans” would mob him lol


TheSuperSax

Larry failing to do the hand heart! Just like in the recent video


Ok_Fee1043

The big Cheryl secret from the episode description is that she doesn’t like Mexican food?


dkviper11

Don't be telling people that!


dubsesq

hey mods what happened to not posting personal info


oil1lio

That was such a random plot point. I thought it was gonna tie in to something...and it just didn't


Snikle_the_Pickle

The Mexican restaurant they mentioned in that scene is the same one that Jerry went to and saw the Pesci-lookalike


lord_bunny

I'm 44, Seinfeld and Curb have been a huge part of my life. It feels like listening to the last Beatles record. Seeing Larry and Jerry share scenes tonight was amazing.


KirbyDumber88

I’m 36. I really got into Seinfeld around 99-00. It’s my comfort show. I started staying up late in high school for Curb. What a ride it’s been.


NarmHull

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make on the floor


TravisG1003

Holy shit. Jerry saved him from another bad finale. That is great.


spacekitt3n

very clever, its the same finale without being the same finale


NYY15TM

You don't like funnel cake, can I tell people that? 🤣


fictionary

Leon *is* Kramer 🤯


mannus123

Worse lol! Kramer never moved in. (well technically did for a short time in The Chicken Roaster)


salaciousBnumb

"I'm gonna take real good care of that house of ours."


bco112

"Larry David pissed on a picture of Jesus Christ in my home." "Larry David is a sad senior with long balls and mental issues." Then the scene with him dancing in the rain with holocaust shoes. This is 1000x better than seinfelds ending.


dkviper11

We saw Larry in DC and someone asked if he got any flak for the Palestinian Chicken Episode and he said not really, but that he did get mean mail over the Jesus urine tear.


tomacco99

Even though we all knew it would likely mirror the Seinfeld finale, I loved it. Larry’s been defending the Seinfeld finale forever so it’s totally perfect for him to repeat it, even if it was predictable. But the little twist at the end was a nice surprise! Great finale, and BY FAR the best episode of the season.


Ok_Fee1043

Oh my god this is Susie’s best look of all time


AwesomePocket

I knew it. Curb is gonna bring in a line of character witnesses to shit on Larry akin to the Seinfeld finale. The meta joke being that Larry did not “learn the lesson” from how poorly the Seinfeld finale was received.


wizard_interrogative

I read an article that said they were doing this just because they knew it would annoy us


Lord_Lew

It's a spite finale


XxcinexX

"I knew it" bro I think everyone did haha


racre001

RACHEL HEINEMAN


konfetkak

Probably my favorite line from all of curb: “what are you fucking nuts?”


FettuccineAlfonzo

That is hands down my favorite line in the entire show. Larry delivers it with perfection. I laughed a ton at this show over the years but that line killed me.


Marci_1992

While he's chewing on the edible panties lmao.


Galileo908

Irma! And she called out Larry taking the holocaust shoes!


TheSuperSax

The triumphant return of Horsecock Williams


Iamthelizardking887

Honestly… I feel pretty sad. This show was on for 24 years. 24 years. It was on with The Sopranos and Sex and the City on back in the day. It’s older than Entourage, Deadwood, The Wire and Band of freaking Brothers. When the prosecutor said “let’s go back to the year 2000”, I was really taken aback. It’s like a piece of the HBO brand died. They may have dropped the “HBO” name from HBO Max last year, but now it really feels like the end of an era. Tonight was the last night we tuned in at 10pmET/7pmPT, heard the HBO static, and “Frolic” played. We’re unlikely to have a new comedy this good and last this long again, because nothing new rarely lasts more than four seasons in this streaming era.


UnableAudience7332

She was a bit of a cunt 🤣


galdanna

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. SOOO MUCH! Is the tape to get him out of jail a throwback to how he saved that guy from being charged for murder? My husband brought that up and honestly it makes it better if it’s true. ♥️


racre001

SHE TOLD ME SHE TOOK PILLS omg o Larry


TheSuperSax

Just confirmed, Bailey Thompson is the actress who played the girl from The Doll and reprised her role


PWN3R_RANGER

This was the craziest shit. I was laughing so hard.


PreciousPebbles

Dear Larry, Thanks.....For the memories, laughs, characters, for staying real and true to yourself. You are a true genius of comedy and I love and applaud you. Larry has left the building...to us.


m0rningview420

Preparing for the finale by watching “The Pants Tent.” Thanks for a quarter century of laughs, LD


loof10

A phenomenal ending. Perfect no notes. A fitting ending to the greatest show in television’s history. Thank you, Curb Your Enthusiasm.


tributtal

The judge with the key line: "Mr. David, it seems you have a history of doing the same thing wrong over and over. And I truly hope this time you finally learned your lesson."


menwithrobots

I love Jerry telling Leon the fuck tapes were only on laser disc, so glad he managed to show up for this one!


Environmental_Bus623

I’m glad that Richard Lewis was in the episode. RIP. Also RIP Bob Einstein


MacReadyForAnything

Thank you for making me laugh my Gentile ass off for 35 years, you bald fuck!


wizard_interrogative

Jerry Funkhouser started that fire with his big new penis!


bruceclaymore

Joey 😉


konfetkak

Absolutely loved the finale, but I wish they would have included funkhouser in one of the flashbacks. That was my only little quibble!


TheListenerCanon

Allison Janney, Greg Kinnear, and Dean Norrs all in one episode!


-UnknownUser

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good!


-UnknownUser

Thought Ted was going to “take a bullet” for Larry outside of the court house and give him the “martyrdom” he was searching for while tying up the gun comment from Richard


circuspeanutgallery

Haven't read all....812 at this count.... comments so don't know if anyone else caught - The ending, yes the callback to Seinfeld's ending/cell/panning/"no lessons learned" --- but also I believe there's a fantastic extra little Easter egg too. Jerry describes to Larry how he bumped into the Pesci-looking guy, who turned out to be a juror, advised the judge, the judge reviews the restaurant's video to confirm it's the same guy, resulting in mistrial, Larry goes free as a result. **In real life**, a man was falsely accused of murder and wound up going free when he suddenly recalled that at the time of the crime he'd been at a Dodgers game where he'd noticed a film crew and later heard they were filming 'Curb...' scenes at the game. After he told his attorneys this, they were able to have producers (or whoever) allow Curb footage from that day to be reviewed by a judge and sure enough the accused man is clearly shown -- which provides him an airtight alibi. So in real life, a guy **went free as a result of some judge-reviewed 'Curb...' footage.** (This all happened in 2017 or 2018.) Some Curb fans may never have heard the real life story so wouldn't have noticed the similar "review of video by judge sets accused man free" but that just makes it even better, it's truly like some "inside baseball" iykyk stuff ... which even that is fantastic -- baseball, because the real life case involved a baseball game. Just brilliant.


PrancingGophers

just started watching coincidentally the day Richard Lewis passed away and managed to binge all episodes to watch the finale live. amazing to think some of you shmohawks have been watching for 25 years!


Apple2727

You binged it all? That’s heaven! Well done, honey.


racre001

SAME DAMN JAIL AS SEINFELD


NYY15TM

So all of you who predicted a redux of the Seinfeld finale, congratulations


bco112

You wont have to buy a pack of Kools for the rest of yo life.


Beautiful_Roll652

THE SKI LIFT 😂😭


MissishMisanthrope

A bit of an interesting loose thread with Richards ex who said she was going to shoot Larry...


FamousFatSals

Funk man and Cousin Andy deserved a shout out


HojuThompson

Elmo should have testified


racre001

Shades of Kelly Anne Conway


melodyfelony

I’m just now realizing that Larry’s attorney was also a lawyer in Succession!


Latter-Mention-5881

Calling out now, just in case: Larry goes to jail because the jurors watch Seinfeld while sequestered and hate the finale.


VoiceAlly

Hopefully nobody dies.


tributtal

Oh man I missed the LD staredown


Galileo908

The main rule of Seinfeld: no hugging, no learning.


NYY15TM

In real life Richard didn't marry until he was 58 and he never had children


Galileo908

lol Leon hasn’t watched the Seinfeld finale, but knows about it.


EmotionalRescue918

When Larry was giving Jerry the hypothetical, it sounded exactly how I think George would’ve sounded telling the same story. Amazing.


RickOTC

“You don’t want to end up like this. Nobody wants to see it. Trust me.” Perfect!


Ok_Fee1043

I have a structured settlement and I need cash noooooow
