Curb your Enthusiasm

In class one night we watched Curb Your Enthusiasm. In the epidsode we watched Larry was making fun of or spoofing Passion of the Christ. While I have never seen this show before I found some parts funny but some parts just stupid. I understand why they were making fun of Passion of the Christ but didn't find it humorous at all. I am a Christian but I seriously doubt that would change anything because when he was making fun of Jewish traditions I didn't find that funny either. I get why some people may find it funny but I personally did not.

When the making fun of religions was going on Larry offered to buy his maid a bra because she didn't wear one. Instead of asking what size she was he was going to extremes to find out what size she would need. While at a friends house he found the friends wife's bra laying on the washer and dryer. He checked out the size but couldn't stop there he started rubbing it on his face and acting goofy and stupid with it. The next day he is approached by his wife and friends wife. Apparently they have a nanny cam and caught the whole thing. So they started yelling at him. While many in the class laughed about this I just did not find the humor in it. I guess it is because I am not a Seinfield fan. I thought Seinfield was stupid just like I did this show.

The third story line going on in this one episode is about the tooth fairy. Larry's friends little girl has lost her tooth and his squeaky shoes wake the girl up while the mother is putting money under her pillow. So once again Larry has pissed of his friends wife. Towards the end of the episode he loses a tooth while eating chicken salad and the next morning he wakes up with money under his pillow. His wife says she doesn't know what he is talking about and goes back to sleep.

While I thought this show had a few funny spots I did not perticularly care for it. All though he did clear all lose ends in one episode and it made a full circle I just did not like it. I did not like the Christian or the Jewish jokes at all. It really disgusted me when he was talking about God and Jesus and whether Jesus should have been a Jane or something like that. I am sure many people find his jokes funny but like I said before I wasn't a fan of Seinfield and won't be a fan of this show either.
