#LarryDavid #Seinfeld #Celebrity
Whenever I've had a rough day or having a tough time, my thing to do is watch Seinfeld/Curb. Thank God for Larry David.
He definitely is up there alongside the greatest writers.
Same here!
Same 👍🏽😊
Larry David looks 70 since last 30 years.
He used to be the oldest young man, now he is the youngest old man !
Looks 70 and has the energy of a 30 year old.
There are millions of people like Larry David; that's why his comedy is so successful.
Neurotic jews like myself, especially 😆
Internally, we're all like him. But in terms of expressing it, he is truly unique.
Every one is like LD.
“There’s no one like Larry David,” says Geist in one last cliche.
They're not EXACTLY like him. Otherwise their comedy would be just as successful.
I've been watching Sein/Curb for 35 years, and the most amazing thing is that Larry, a born crank, is going out on a media friendly frenzy.
I lived in Hell's Kitchen during the time Larry lived there. I would see him hang out at The Improv comedy club, which was also in Hell's Kitchen.
Cool story little man, we'll put that right on the refrigerator
Lived on UWS when Jerry lived there, used to see them walking together on 80th, 81st… can’t for the life of me figure out which building that sublet is….
@@nicolestern731 Here you go: "Manhattan Plaza is a large federally subsidized residential complex of 46 floors and 428 feet (130 m) at 400 and 484 West 43rd Street in midtown Manhattan, New York City. Opened in 1977, it has 1,689 units and about 3,500 tenants. Under its Section 8 federal funding, it is mandated to maintain 70% of the tenants from the performing arts fields, while it chooses to dedicate 15% of turnover to neighborhood residents and 15% to the elderly. It occupies the city block bounded north by 43rd Street, east by Ninth Avenue, south by 42nd Street, and west by Tenth Avenue."
Nobody cares
Nobody cares
Prettty, pretttyyy, pretttyyyyyyy good
Everyone's got bits of larry jerry George and kramer and elaine in them and that's why these shows hit home
Agreed! produce can be tricky, it's hit and miss.
Always liked Larry's NY accent, never gets old. 😊😅
Larry David lives on and on in our lives. It amazing how I find myself in these situations again and again. Larry, you have validated my every single thought and helped me use it!
Mmm muah
Larry David is a comedic genius
I've also acted crazy while walking through rough neighbourhoods alone at night 😄
Lol I never knew that the fruit store ban was based off a true story, but I should've known!
Almost ALL Seinfeld stories are based on true.
@@sirjohnmara In the first seven seasons anyway.
@@edmerc92 Yes, Kramer as a turkey is a bit over the top. But "The Serenity Now" and "Festivus"-stuff from "The Strike" are based on some of the writers dad's, so there are still very good episodes in season 8 & 9. For me "peak Seinfeld" season 4 to 6. But it's ALL GREAT. I rather watch any Seinfeeld over all new "sit-coms" from latests years.
I actually clicked for part 2. Larry is a treasure and you’re great for doing this
Willie Geist was excellent playing himself in the recent ep on Season 12. I was impressed with his acting chops! Not easy to “play oneself.” He surely did improv like the other actors in the series.
Of course I thought him not buying clothes in 24 yrs meant he wore the same thing from 24 yrs ago 😂
Sounds impossible, but not for Larry!
The guy double taking at 0:45 when he realises Larry David just walked past
That's my cousin!
I’m soooooooo sad about my favorite show ending..
Larry David is a national treasure
Larry David sure has tuned into Life and the right to Complain!
He will be missed.
😂🤣😍
Very funny, great to see both of them out and about on the streets visiting the old haunts. Larry should have done an episode in the last season about how we're being forced to go cashless these days. I can imagine him having arguments with places not accepting his money and all the different awkward situations it would bring :)
It's Always Sunny did a part in an episode about that. It was done well.
@@neuvisean1739 Wow..that sounds good. Do you know which season or episode it was?
S16E08 "Dennis takes a mental health day"
@shanec7436 keep pretending like you didn't steal the idea from Always Sunny your fooling no body .
That wouldn’t have worked because LD on the show is not your typical anti-tech elder, he’s into new tech & cashless and would’ve been the first into Apple Pay
"There's a sheen, Willie" 🤣
I am without speech (yes, a "Seinfeld" reference🤣). Seriously, though, I cannot thank you enough for this presentation (I was tempted to describe it as "spectacular"😉), Mr. Geist❣ "Seinfeld" certainly was "the most popular comedy in the history of television," as you so beautifully phrased it. The "show about nothing" is something else, as the expression goes, to so many of us. This sitcom was one-of-a-kind, as is Larry David. I am very happy to be able to say that, incidentally, as was Jerry Seinfeld, I was born on Long Island (which gives me a sense of camaraderie, so to speak). Best wishes, Andrea S.
Larry David was always the real brains of the show
Jeff Garlin also proposed the idea of the pilot/HBO special. He doesn't get enough credit for that ://
@@AAZEDLARC I guess I meant Seinfeld specifically…also, some of my fav episodes were written by Larry Charles who had a wonderful dark sense of humor that worked…Jerry by himself…meh
Amazing!!
Larry David, you will be missed.
He died?!
@@crazyottsel23 lol
Larry is spot on. Hell's Kitchen was VERY rough in those days. My girlfriend and I had an insanely small studio apartment at the epicenter of that neighborhood (we had an old piece of plywood we would put over the tub as a makeshift kitchen counter). We were good kids in our 20s trying to make our mark in The Big Apple. Together or apart, to ensure our safety, the local drug dealing gang would graciously escort us to and from our apartment to Times Square (not that it was much safer then). We were not their customers. They just liked us and we were not judgemental about their present chosen profession.
Believe it or not… till date I watch Seinfeld clips every single day. And I’m from New Delhi India… rarely anyone knows about Seinfeld.. they do know about FRIENDS though. Anyways. George And Kramer are my favourites
I heard about a mariage in India where one guest did not go to the restroom once during the trip.
I can just hear it: "Who is Steinfield?"
Larry's laugh is genuine
Him trying to walk weird to scare away muggers haha. Maybe bc im female, but i walk with a waddle due to disability and i always think it makes me more likely to get attacked (bc look vulnerable).
Start quacking, so they think you're crazy.
True story. Tony Randall got banned from Zingone Brothers on the Upper West Side for returning Cantaloupe one too many times. This grocery store is located in Jerry Seinfeld’s neighborhood.
larry has such a unique stride
WAIT -- how tall is Willie Geist?!!! Had no idea he was so huge.
Is he heightening?
they're both rocking adidas stan smith... that's fun
Great interview, Larry David. Applause!!!
Great interview! Belly laughs.
these days with so many good shows i am not sure it would be so successful .... lucky for them it was on tv with just a few channels !
WOW LARRY! I DID THE SAME THING!!!! I Have A LOT Of Undesirables That Are In Between My Apartment And A VERY Convenient Grocery Store, Only 635 Feet Away! Problem - Homeless Beggars EVERYWHERE! So I Was Bugged A Lot "Can I Borrow Your Cell Phone"..."Can I Have A Cigarette"..."Hey Ya Got A Lighter"...."Do Have A Dollar" - ENDLESS! SO, I Started Intentionally Dressing Down, ...WAY Down LOL! Then If Someone Asked Me Anything I would Shout Out Garbled Nonsense. LOL! IT WORKED!!!!! Now Every time I Leave Home To Walk? I HAVE TO GET INTO CHARACTER! LOL!
I think that building still has a waiting list for the waiting list.
I went to Larry David’s apartment at 43rd street and 10th ave the summer before this video, cool!
It’s Manhattan Plaza the actors residential housing.
I like to stay in my apartment and avoid employment..but also annoy neighbors with 80s soul. The fact it's 80s soul annoys them more than loudness.
awesome
Hysterical
Okay the fruit I understand, but give Larry his handsome back pay for the cup holder for Gods sake! 🤣🤣
Momentos y anegdotas de una serie de tv
My cousin lived in the area. 47th between 9th and 10th. 😮😊
the image of Larry David staggering home, acting like a drug addict to avoid people after an honest hard days work is just excellent.
Larry David ..... Is the modern day Woody Allen!!!
Truly a nebbish and gluten for all that Woody projected 😱
Great
It won't play
Iconic man
That "coffee cup" claim was used in the hbo movie "clear history" with larry and jon ham.
I watch Larry David. I understand Larry David. I AM Larry David.
Alicia Keys grew up in one of those high rises.
3:13 I was standing right where they’re standing while I dropped off something to a friend. It was the morning of 9/11. Weird to see it from the exact same point of view as when we stood there.
I love cantaloupe.
Yeah, he's wrong about the produce. Produce is a gamble. Everybody knows that going in.
I live in LA. No way is produce a gamble. You throw a tomato on the ground in a parking lot, next week there's a plant. Corporate grocery store accepts it as a return no questions asked. I can't imagine vendors at our farmers markets not accepting returns. They do a brisk business.
@@AroundTheWorldWithEase ha ha...I'm quoting Jerry from the episode where Kramer gets banned.
@@AroundTheWorldWithEase I had to convince the manager at the local market that the coconut they sold me was bad before I busted it open.
They absolutely are a gamble for sure. I live in NYC and go to these fruit stands often. If you let them pick your fruit, they definitely will try to give you a turd. Just to make sure everything is sold for the day. So always have to double or triple check, because you'll end up the next day wondering why your blueberries have mold already lol.
Willie is the best interviewer on television.
Genius
Larry said in a different interview that Kramers shenanigans were also part of the inspiration, but since larry lost the court battle he’s bitter about it.
He needs a cape for the thumbnail !
Willie Geist has learned FASHION from Larry!
Still find it funny that Seinfeld (who has basically zero talent) has a net worth 3 X of Larry David (Who has talent). How?
I want everyone to go watch when Harry met Sally and see how much Jerry and Larry borrowed from that movie.
Well Robb Reiner's Castle Rock Entertainment production company helps make Seinfeld as well. So maybe that has something do with it. Could be a possibility.
😊
Funny.
Oh why did I say?
Larry is not anonymous, Willy
I still recall seeing him do standup bits on TV in the 80's including such classics as "the 'tu' form", the embitterment of Jonas Saulks mother, and the unforgettable Dr. Mengele bit. Always priceless, this show will certainly be missed.
No to mention Hitler going backstage and asking the magician: "Okay, so vere is za rabbit? Show me za rabbit!"
@@James_Bowie Absolutely! Another gem!
Many of these "bad" neighborhoods in NYC from 20, 30 years ago are now so gentrified, hip, and expensive. This is true for many other big cities. Like in LA, downtown area just east of I-5 was the garment district in 1980's and 1990's, with cheap apartment buildings and some homeless ppl around. Now you go there and it's all shiny high-rise office buildings and million dollar condos. Where did all those low-income residents and homeless go? And some wonder why there are more homeless ppl in their neighborhoods than ever...
I think you answered your own question.
Don’t I know it. I grew up in Morningside Heights. Just a block from the end of Central Park. My parents never paid over $700 a month for a 3 bedroom. My mom moved out in 2010 after 23 years. They renovated the building as the neighborhood was being gentrified by Columbia students and now the rent of the apartment I grew up in is almost $5000 a month.
@@cactaceous and yet these same liberals who talk about “affordable housing “, are responsible for this gentrification..:.go figure
I lived in DTLA in 1987-89, off Traction Avenue. Our rent was $1000/mo for a huge unfinished loft. Condos in that building go for millions now
@@AAZEDLARC My father in law bought a duplex in Bayside, Queens for $27,000 less than a year after the Son of Sam had killed a girl a few blocks away. Prices in the neighborhood had dropped ridiculously. Now the duplex is valued at a bit under 2 million.
Today most produce is nasty !
He took a taxi one night with Travis Bickle which inspired quite a few episodes.
Did he get mugged or did someone squat in his car.
Just thinking about the ideas of Larry makes my day better
😂😂😂😂
Pretending to be a drug addict to not get mug? that’s clever
Haircut?
The pretend drug addict routine, weve all done it
Did he tell you how he scammed his way out of the military?
In 'Nam, I saw Larry running away from VietCong, while under fire.
Why do they shoot this guys shot in such low resolution? Then by adding a higher res background they make it look like he is completely out of focus. Surely they have equipment, crew and money. Then on top of that he has such a fake presenting style which is looks even worse because of the image quality. This is laughably bad.
Larry David is disgruntled
Seinfeld was not more popular than Friends, globally
Yes true now but not at the time.
@@adolescentwombat it was never popular in other countries at the time either
@@ryp6627 well when NBC had either of those shows and they both were still airing (and before their 5 years to be allowed to be syndicated) neither of them were popular worldwide except in their regular markets on the North American side.
@@adolescentwombatnope
Let Larry rest a few years before he passes away.
Hope it's longer than that! He said he'd outlive Richard by 20 years, yes?
@@RetroTVTrivia longer on the machine? 79.25 years is average US life expectanccy. He is 76.
@@supernotnatural Sadly the number has actually dropped since 2020... but in Larry's world, he did say he'd outlive Lewis by 20 years. Someone will find the reference. :-)
No touching!!!
Really tired of that
Verizon commercial
Please change it!!!!
Presenters are void of personality today....
Just how was he not able to enter his apartment? Not beeing able to sublet your apartment doesnt mean youre not able to get in. That story made zero sense
Never seen an episode of Seinfeld or Curb. Probably never will tbh.
Can I get a parade, please?
Larry should stay out of politics as it alienates many of the people who have supported his work in the past.
Most jews r smart, that's why they r left wing,
seinfeld was 30 years ago. lets move on.
It's an interview with LD and they happen to mention Seinfeld. Go back to your trailer
Seems like you hate the things you enjoy…what a miserable existence
Too bad Larry is a pinko.
i never really found these jews to be very funny
Oy!
@@bkbk1184Comment of the Week! What an outlier this guy must be. They invented comedy as we know it.
They can't all be doctors and lawyers! Comedy is a great backup for the chosen people.
Yeah you do, otherwise you wouldn’t have found this video
Eh, nobody's perfect!
Larry david would like the produce policy at HarrisTeeter. You return produce and get refunded twice what you paid.
