Yay..Curb Your Enthusiasm is back!!

Homer..How is your sense of humour (humor)? MAGA

I'd never heard of this series. However a quick google produced this:

It's Amazing How Donald Trump Fundamentally Doesn't Understand This Curb Your Enthusiasm Joke.

On Monday night Donald Trump tweeted out a clip from the premiere of the current season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. In the episode, Larry David realizes that if he wears a Make America Great Again hat, good people will want nothing to do with him. Being a curmudgeonly asshole who just wants to be left alone, this is pretty much Larry's dream. He doesn't care about the politics of it, he doesn't care that people see him as a morally bankrupt Trump supporter—he just wants everyone to stay the hell away from him. The intent of the comedy is to show the MAGA hat as something to be detested and avoided at all costs.

Trump's tweet was a clip from later in the episode. Larry is driving somewhere and cuts off some big biker on a motorcycle. The guy on the motorcycle starts cussing and threatening Larry for his mild driving faux pas. They stop alongside each other at the next red light and it looks like this guy on the hog is going to kick Larry's ass. Larry reaches down, pulls out his MAGA hat, and the guy immediately calms down, telling Larry to just drive more carefully next time. The joke here is that this scumbag on the motorcycle—a guy who would intimidate, threaten, and possibly even kick the shit out of a stranger for a harmless mistake is a Trump supporter. And because Larry is perceived as a Trump supporter, hog guy will leave him alone—further implying that motorcycle guy would have continued to escalate the situation against a non-MAGA idiot. Let's be clear, Larry is an asshole, and the guy on the motorcycle is an asshole. It's a scathing indictment of the depravity of Trump supporters and everything MAGA stands for.

But Trump fundamentally didn't understand that joke. He tweeted the clip with the caption: "TOUGH GUYS FOR TRUMP!"

Busted in Bangkok (last nights episode) features the altercation outside Tina's that somehow went viral... haven't seen the episode yet.

It was episode 5, if you are going for catch up.

From the same article,

For the record, Larry David detests MAGA idiots. When asked after the episode aired if he was worried about alienating Trump supporters who watch his show, Larry said: "Alienate yourselves, go, go an alienate, you have my blessing. No, I could give a fuck."

What's amazing about this tweet is how representative it is of the divide between the right and the left in terms of culture, comedy, entertainment, and perception of reality. MAGA idiots see this clip how Trump saw it: A depiction of a tough guy Trump supporter. People on the left see this clip the way it was intended: A satire of the assholes who support Trump. And somewhere in there, that disassociation with reality, is why this country is fucked.


HHtel...Larry David was the genius behind Seinfeld

Absolutely adore Larry, he's my hero!

Watching him is like therapy for me, in that it's not just me that gets wound up by all the bullshit and bollocks people come out with on a daily basis!

You will quickly notice that George Costanza(Seinfeld) was actually based on Larry.

Agreed, he's definitely not one for the snowflakes or those easily offended!!!!

[sateeb]

Okay..Not the best tv series but also not the worse. Well worth a looksee if your'e interested in the moon missions.



Basically a version of world events if the Russkies had been the first to land on the Moon. Just finished Season 1 and it has been renewed for a 2nd.

For those of a certain age...

Just watched the first 3 episodes of 'Picard'. I'm not a true 'Trekkie' but I did like 'The Next Generation' with Jean-Luc Picard.
Very different from any of the original series (Hell, Patrick Stewart is pushing 80), but, for me, very watchable.
I was quite shocked when the female head of Starfleet used the 'F' word when talking to Jean-Luc.
Such language in the 24th century!!!! I'm pretty sure that's unprecedented in the 100's of Star Trek episodes.
