A Very Good Episode

[s_l_wood · 9/10 · 19 May 2010]

This was a very good episode of CYE, and the second best of the third season, after "The Corpse Sniffing Dog." The story involves Christmas, specifically Cheryls parents visiting for the holidays and their Christmas spirit making Larry uncomfortable. It also involves Christmas tipping, as Larry tips people at his club and insists he accidentally tipped one guy twice, and then tries to get his money back. He also is accused of tipping one of his employees more than the other, and has a couple Spanish speaking employees gossip about him right in front of him, but in their mother tongue. A side plot involves Jeff having Larry lie for him about a late night phone call Jeff made to a woman. Larry, who has no qualms about lying, tells Jeffs wife he made the call to his housekeeper, and was staying at Jeffs because of a fight with Cheryl. There are many funny moments, including Larry eating all of Cheryls Christmas cookies, thinking they were animal crackers: "That was Jesus? I thought it was a monkey!" The funniest are when Larry, who went down on Cheryl and now has pubic hair stuck in his throat, coughs constantly in front of Cheryls parents and feels awkward about telling them why. Larry shows his usual lack of tact in leering at a woman acting as Virgin Mary in a church production, and this results in a fight. I found it funny because it has those unique CYE moments, like Larry choking on his wifes pubic hair in front of his wifes parents, then being asked for an explanation.

The Latino cleaners get paranoid over tip amounts. Repeat, latinos get paranoid lol. Extra characters to make up 150, not sure how long this is needed.

HILARIOUS (Mary, Joseph and Larry)

Have you seen the Christmas tree at Nordstrom in San Francisco? Well, that's the style of tree that shows up in the David household as Cheryl insists on having a tree given the arrival of her parents.

From there, everything goes into one hilarious situation after another, with Christmas carols (belly laugh), tree decorating . .. and Christmas cookies that Larry accidentally eats, assuming they are animal-themed cookies that are his for the taking.

After accusing him of "eating the baby Jesus" Larry, being the good Samaritan, finds a group of nativity actors in front of a Christian church on San Vicente, that he hires to.show up his home, hoping to get back in Cheryl's good graces. He and "Joe" who is playing Joseph in the Nativity scene get in a fight, and a Christmas miracle occurs.

The entire episode is just one laugh after another.

So funny

This episode is magnificent and it keeps on adding. The cough, the staredowns, the Christmas drama the Suzie fight, the Latins. It has everything a full season of Curb has.
