Curb Your Enthusiasm (TV Series) The Corpse-Sniffing Dog (2002) User Reviews

Another chaotic day in the life of Larry David

[DVD_Connoisseur · 8/10 · 21 June 2007]

Another highly entertaining slice of Larry David's life, "The Corpse-Sniffing Dog" is a multi-layered, wonderfully scripted comedy.

Jeff's allergy to his German Shepherd is causing him no end of problems so he turns to Larry for advice. Cue chaos in the restaurant as the dog sniffs something under the floor and bedlam in the lives of many characters as events unfold.

On top of this, Larry shows bias towards bald people in his choice for a new chef for his restaurant when he picks Ian Gomez.

Susie Essman is on top form as Jeff's no-nonsense wife, Susie.

8 out of 10.

Hilarious

The funniest episode of CYE I have ever seen. I starts off with classic Larry David, as he is interviewing a man to be a chef in his restaurant and they bond because they are both bald. Larry displays his trademark eccentricity in many ways, including saying Hitler should have killed all men who wear toupees. Then the plot begins, with Larry agreeing to help his friend Jeff by giving Jeffs daughters dog (who Jeff is allergic to) to another family. Things get complicated, as the dog first results in the police tearing up Larrys restaurant, and then Larry offends the family to whom he wants to give the dog. He also accidentally gets Jeffs daughter drunk. My favourite part of the episode is Larry interacting with the woman who he offended. Larry, Cheryl, and this couple go out for dinner, and when the man in the couple pays for meal, Larry will only thank him, and refuses to thank his wife, pointing out that she does not work, and has no money and thus did not pay for the meal. On several occasions he refuses to thank her, and makes hilarious comments to her and throughout the episode. Another funny episode in the funniest show ever.

Masterpiece
