yeah...including larry's family in real life that were slave owners....like the vast majority of his ethnic group who want to pin slavery on wh1te people.
@jelleverhofstad9711 Yeah. I had to check if Season 12 was done in 2019, the spot-on 400th anniversary of the first slave ship's 1619 landing in colonial America.
Yep - sold by black chieftains to the Marrano Jews who actually ran the slave trade - the term "slave" comes from the Slavs (white Europeans) who were enslaved by the dark skinned Ottomans in their millions...and that goes back way further than 400 years....
This scene really caught me off guard - normally in Curb the situations are so absurd and LD tries to use his words to get out of them in realistic-feeling but still over the top ways (ultimately putting his foot in his mouth or temporarily succeeding only for the other shoe to drop later), but here he just doesn't say anything despite the "long story" only being a few words long. Obviously the "long story" line tees up "like 400 years long" which is great, but I kept wondering why he didn't just say "I'm staying at an AirBnB and need to replace the lawn decor after breaking it." Definitely an odd off-beat moment for Curb
He has done this same thing in several episodes. An honest answer would probably get him out of trouble (and you wonder why he just doesn't tell the truth) but he always goes for the comedy of the situation, to dig himself into a further hole. I'm with you though. Just tell the guy the simple truth!
I hate to say it, but this season just hasn't started as strong as a lot of others. No subtlety, scenes/plotlines effectively reused from older seasons making it too predictable.
This is gonna blow your mind, but sometimes people in tv shows act in ways that create humorous situations, rather than always doing the most rational thing
Well that would have been the easy and logical thing to do and if the salesman was reasonable he would have understood, but then the situation wouldn’t have been somewhat funny.
I haven't watched the Finale because I just don't want it to end. This show got me through a tough time in my life, just like Seinfeld did when my Mom died in 2006.
All you would need is a bit of well placed painters tape and some black spray paint. Actually could enhance the bit if Larry used midnight black paint and painted the lips red. Although i dont think it would fit with Larry's character to be handy enough to paint a statue.
To all of u white folks apologizing about this, there are plenty of us black people that love this show and are able to understand and laugh at this kind of COMEDY. So please stop apologizing about great material.
I'm black and Curb Your Enthusiasm - complete with it's all around political incorrectness - is my favorite show. Hilarious and offensive, but mostly hilarious!

I was dying during the part about lawn jockeys. We had one of those at the house I grew up in. It was black and I transitioned it as a kid > Caucasian. This was in pre-woke times but in a liberal NE state. It did not have the exaggerated facial features that you saw in some of them. At any rate, ripped out by the successor owners about 30 years later. LOL.
Whats funny about this is that in real life if Larry and Jeff just explained the situation honestly I think it would come off as a innocent and hilarious story😂😂 think about it. If larry just said "Listen, I'm staying at an air bnb and they have a black lawn jokey and we felt so uncomfortable with it and didn't want to come off as racist and in the process of moving it we accidentally broke it so now we need to replace it because we don't want to upset the owner and have them think we are racist for breaking it AND I want my security deposit back😂..... I feel like that honesty would just make the whole thing hilarious and innocent all at once lmao

@@erinrussMaybe stop assuming you're the one being targeted?...my point was, the lawn-jockey owning neighbors were more worried about pissing off liberal neighbors than about offending black neighbors. Get it now?
Did you tell them that they were wrong because they were actually used to denote safe havens on the underground railroad So they're almost the opposite of racist. My grandma's second husband had one in his yard and he would paint it every year to match the winner of the Kentucky Derby.
My black neighbors have two black lawn jockeys.. They seem to be very proud of them. Apparently, as the story goes.. they were used by ppl as a symbol for the underground railroad.
I was at a Best Buy looking at a Photo Slave unit. It’s called that, because it attaches to your camera and activates a flash when your camera takes a photo. An employee walked by me in the next aisle. I said to her “Um excuse me…” Just then a different employee came up behind me . This “Person” was 6’3 300lbs, male/trans/gay black. “Um er uh, can I help you Sir?” I said “ Uhhh….yeah… I had some questions about this…uh…unit. “ He/she looked down at it, and in a VERY LOUD AND INDIGNANT voice, that the whole store could hear…shouted,” Oh you wanna know about this SLAVE unit? Yeah, uh-huh. Yes SIRRRR! I can tell you all about this SLAVE unit!” . This was a few years ago, but I remember thinking, this was a perfect Larry David moment.
I was talking with my neighbor, someone I don't even like too much, and in the course of conversation she fumbled some sort of pastry covering my doorknob with schmootz. As I listened to her inane ramblings I kept on looking at the door, waiting for her to clean the mess or at least offer to do so. Then off she went. I turned my key and opened the door, practically up to my elbows in greasy filling and of course the call I'd been waiting for rang, so I unsuccessfully tried a two finger extraction from my pocket just to discover it was my friend who needed to borrow a car, and I just gave up on the day and stood under the shower in my clothing.
The lawn jockey was used on the Underground Railroad to denote a safe haven for runaway slaves en route to Canada or other points of freedom. It is not a sign of racial intolerance, but the precise opposite.
You do know what a jockey is right? Get real, the Underground Railroad existed in a time way before the horse racing culture that the law and jockey refer to. This is literally the laziest attempt at rewriting history I have ever seen. Next time I at least try to get the time line right.
GTFOH. Having lived down south in the 70s and 80s I have never seen a single lawn jockey in front of a black person's yard. Only white people, usually with a confederate flag in the background. You must really think everyone is stupid.
What the hell WAS that? Larry throwing soap suds in the air is what he thinks passes for funny now? That whole fight with Elmo makes a lot more sense now. Larry is channeling his inner Biden.
Larry David is a modern day Woody Allen, who was the original NEBBISH of TV and movie fame. His fan base appears to be what's left of SNL generational cling-ons. Anything he pursues turns to gold, thanks to his minyans of loyal fans. There is no other character like him. Jerry Seinfeld is far behind David's NEBBISH character. Its a one man band with Woody Allen out of sight & mind.
One of the best things about this show is it offends the people who are always saying stuff like 'You can't joke about anything these days without people getting offended!' Sadly they're too thick to appreciate the irony.
@@DodderingOldMan I couldn’t find one single comment of anyone being offended by this clip lol. You’re being exactly like the imaginary people you’re complaining about
So here's my problem with too much of this show. Larry of course is quite often right in his awkward encounters, but we're supposed to suspend disbelief that these encounters aren't unnaturally set up and forced. A natural conversation would have Larry saying, "Nice that we can buy these lawn jockeys again now that they aren't racial stereotypes," then picked up some paint and taken care of it.
@@mizzury54lawn jockeys aren’t racist. He feels so strongly, even though mistakenly, he feels he has to move it out of sight at an Airbnb. He’s staying in Atlanta, goes out to buy a replacement and finds many available…
I find nothing humorous of this old guy. Rather feel he's trying to make us laugh forcibly with fake humor. Strange that people find him hilarious for nothing. Very boring
Larry getting rid of the poop smell is awesome!
Straying that soap everywhere was not helping the smell at alllll 😂😂😂

black jockeys were not slaves. Why would anyone assume that? They were employed as jockeys. It was a job.
One google search quickly tells that it’s because they were deliberately given exaggerated features, I.e Japanese black sambo shit.
Because white liberals. Thats why. They were used to aid those escaping democrat chains in the Underground Railroad.
Thats the captain from wall e!
Larry never says he was against the Lawn Jockey and tried to get rid of it and broke it. he now just HAS to replace it.
