A good Larry episode
sudiniup11 November 2021
Enjoyed this Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry was Larry and that's all that matters.

His mini bar choices had some of the worst choices ever (except peppermint patty) for a mini bar.

The whole episode was fun, I now look forward to his final season. Well done.

I don't get the hate

Warning: Spoilers
I've been enjoying this season a lot. I understand why the Maria Sophia acting stuff can turn people off but it had me dying. She's supposed to be terrible and obnoxious. If you find it awkward. That's the point. She makes me laugh every time cause she is the worst. The whole subplot on slamming doors, the dinner party Middle seat is very Curb. I've been enjoying this season so far and I don't think deserves the hate.

Why is it getting so much hate?
majidred20119 November 2021
Do you guys even like this show in general?

I mean the base story (acting thing) is still pretty weak and i hope they drop it in the upcoming weeks but atleast it had good amount of laughs, typical larry stuff etc And minibar thing was fun and much much better than episode 2 with the angel muffin thing.

Still a lot of fun and intelligent humor
antonpopescu9 November 2021
Don't mind the negative reviews! This is still a very funny show. Everything Larry David touches turns to gold. He is still the master of comedy. And this might be the last season so enjoy it while it lasts.

Weak
rsteigman-173-794938 November 2021
I used to love this show, this season has so far has been a let down, it's like it's forced, not funny, this episode with the girl wanna be actress was actually upsetting and annoying to watch. Hope it gets better.

Why the hate?
HorrorFan696927 December 2021

This episode is very entertaining. Different. Love the table theory. It's not that bad. And I have to write something else. So the hot dog thing was funny aswell. Great little rôle by Vince Vaughn. It was even weird to see him not talk that much. Hahah. A good change.

Very Funny Episode
Bfeins51109 November 2021
Every time I see Maria Sofia attempting to act I am hysterical. I think she is really talented in acting so badly! I hope she participates in more episodes! I Cheryl Hines is also terrific as her acting coach. What a talented or untalented actress Maria Sofia is.

Good Show the mini bar was funny
haydenbrown-2437424 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Vince Vaughn and LD work well together I like the mini bar and the dinner party with the bad middlers Larry is a mutch better middler than the other people and also redirects the conversation to difference between stage 3 cancer advice and stage 4 cancer advice Stage 4 cancer is a good conversation for a middler the other middler was talking about the dewey decimal system and fishing.

Season 11 continues to disappoint
DanialAbufarha9 November 2021
I know we're only three episodes in, but this new season feels tedious and recycled. The storyline isn't great, it's cringeworthy actually, and many jokes/situations are recycled from earlier season.

Everybody likes a Hot Dog !
debart711 November 2021
Nazis, hot dogs, Larry and Patton Oswalt in a scheme to get Patton laid create comic perfection.

Does Patton as Harry get laid in the end? Who knows. But it is nice to have the girl rooting for him to eat more hot dogs than Larry in a new LD "contest."

Vince Vaughn kills as the mattress swinger who mocks movie studio execs as he evaluates Larry's mini bar presentation.

Maybe the worst episode of CYE ever
eccclips10 November 2021
Ill say it again- Curb is going downhill fast. Season 8 was the last truly good season in my opinion. I might be in the minority but I thought the seasons before Leon Black came aboard were the best ones. The bits are so manufactured and far-fetched nowadays. I remember the earlier episodes where Larry and Richard got roped into helping the blind guy move furniture, Larry inviting the pedophile he met to the sedar and natural situations like that MIGHT arise in real life. However the genius of CYE is officially dead. I can only hope for 1 or 2 chuckles per episode now and sometimes even they seem forced due to the fact I'm paying 15 bucks for HBO just for this show. I think its time for Larry to hang it up and preserve the CYE legacy. I am changing my rating from 10 to 9, this season is the last straw.

Really a 6.5 but first time this season for the LD standard
EvanKevelson10 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The first two episodes in which I felt I was in an Alternate Universe where Curb was not funny at all... Episode 3 three moments 1. Vince Vaughn simply saying he was opening a hotel called "The Funkhouse" made me pause as I was laughing hysterically.

2. Leon's ongoing search for a female to take to Asia and hanging the signs 3. The Slapstick with "Marsha Lipshutz", Cheryl and Ted was hysterical.

Till now the season I discount that has maybe 3 very funny episodes (season 9).

Despite the laughs the overall dragging out of this blackmail nonsense and Marsha Lipshutz, and some simply not funny topics like the hot dogs, dementia, "Stage 4 Wisdom" I know Larry likes to push and I wasn't offended but it's simply not funny.

This season is up in the air for most overrated garbage LD since 2017.

So far it's way ahead and 4 weeks till Richard Lewis makes an appearance. Jay B Smooth has been carrying the huge laughs that makes one reminiscent of seasons 2-8 good episodes where I'd be crying for 20-25 minutes out of thirty... opposed to last night of 5 minutes out of 37.

Hate this arc
Dude_Hennick12 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The storyline with being forced to have this girl in the pilot is so stupid. It's ruining the season for me. She assaulted Ted and Cheryl. That's the out. Move on to something that's funny. Hopi g it gets better.

The Mini Bar
bobcobb30120 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
There were some moments that made me laugh, but this is just not what Curb used to be. The show has become too dumbed down to be too mainstream, a slap in the face of longtime fans.

Not funny at all.
hpcmakeup9 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I didn't laugh once and actually found this episode so annoying and unfunny I don't think I'll watch anymore. The scenes with Cheryl and the weird awkward acting lessons are not funny at all! That entire story line is not funny and them fighting and her attacking Cheryl in her house isn't funny it's creepy. All of Larry's friends this season aren't funny either. This season is NOT FUNNY! By far the worst of the series.

Worst episode of this season
matruglion9 November 2021
I'm not really getting in to this season and this episode was the worst the 3 the jokes were a bit off. I would recap season ten and compare this season and season 10. The show might fall flat just hope we get funnier episodes.

Sad to see this
cemturc10 November 2021
I did had hope that next episodes would improve. But after the 3rd one, I have decided to cease to watch the show. I want to remember the show and Larry as the GOATs.

Omg!!
fabrisrocha9 November 2021
Please stop this season now! You're ruining the show. It seems like it gets worst every episode. That scene of the girl beating up Cheryl speaks for itself. What a dumb scene and terrible new characters. I feel ashamed to show this season to anyone and say I'm a fan of Curb. It has to stop, really. I hope they don't do a 10 episodes season cause they're so out of creativity that it's even embarassing.

time to slam the door Larry
hadfield1110 November 2021
Show has run it's course. Simply no longer funny,antics make you squirm watching. Being a schmuck is ok as long as your audience is not being taken for being one.

Huge fan but it's become cringeworthy
aabell-193568 November 2021
I'm a huge huge Curb fan - and have watched every Episode multiple times until the last series which was ordinary but I persevered because it was LD and the crew and it had the odd great moment. It has however been on the slippery slide and I know they all like working together and they have every right to self indulge but I'm afraid this episode was so bad I can't bear to see such a brilliant show end this way. I can't believe I'm saying this bit I won't be watching another episode. The mini bar is clearly empty I'm afraid. All the best LD and the gang it was fun while it lasted.

An improvement compared to the 1st and 2nd episodes
fernando_barduchi15 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This episode was a litte bit better, but still could be better.

I can't take anymore that whole blackmail situation, doesn't make any sense and it's not funny And also, maybe it's time to pull the plug on that Cheryl and Ted thing, it was funny when it started, but now doesn't work.

Weak Season 11
palacerevolution200030 November 2021
So yes, as others have said, the show has run it's course. It was always kind of annoying, but that was it's shtick. Looks like writers have run out of gas. Two questions: what is the deal with the constant 'Netflix", and now "Hulu" placements? Is this some deal Larry and co had to agree to?

The other question: what happened to Cheryl? A wonderful woman, and now she looks...odd.
