Yesterday I decided to start a Twitter parody account that satirizes the notorious personality of great filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard. I don’t know how long it will last, but I thought I’d let y’all know about it and encourage you to follow the account. The more followers it gets, the more often I’ll tweet and hopefully […]
I think it’s safe to say that one of the most memorable, fun, enjoyable fictional families in film history are the Ekdahls, from Ingmar Bergman’s delightful Fanny and Alexander. And after analysing the full five-hour version of the film, I think I know each of the characters pretty well. So I’ve decided to come up […]
A few months ago my good pal japecake wrote a hilarious post about using Google Translator to screw up the lyrics of popular songs. Then recently my friend Nostra wrote a post about film titles getting lost in translation, so I decided to do a little something of my own. I’ve come up some well-known […]
I know I’m late to the party on this, but I really want to participate and I only just found out about it a few hours ago, so I’m writing this hurriedly. Kid, the great blogger at Kid in the Front Row, a blog I didn’t know about before but am now definitely following, […]
For today’s list, I thought I’d try something a little different. I’ve decided to try and come up with some hopefully funny titles for possible porn films based on real film titles. I was going to make some fake posters but then I realized I neither had the time, ingenuity or correct editing software to […]
Continuing the series of movie characters who deserve their own movie, this time I’m highlighting some of the characters of the hilarious Edgar Wright. Enjoy! — Any other characters I’ve forgotten or not chosen? Leave a comment below.
Continuing the series of fun posters where we pretend the characters of a certain director have been given their own spinoff movie are six posters featuring characters from the films of the great Paul Thomas Anderson. Imagine if they had their own movie… — Those are my posters. What do you think? Any suggestions you’d […]
Last week I did a post called Martin Scorsese Characters Who Deserve Their Own Movie. It got mostly positive reception, and I really enjoyed making the posters, so I’ve decided to do a follow-up, and this time it’s posters for spin-off movies featuring Coen brothers characters: Thanks for checking them out.

Curb Your Enthusiasm has just started its eighth season over in the States, and we can rely on Larry David once again for consistent hilarity. Of the seven seasons so far, here are the ten craziest, most shocking things LD has done on TV, in chronological order:
Called Cheryl’s Aunt a Cunt, Beloved Aunt, Season One
“Devoted sister, beloved cunt?” Incredibly unexpected, this is an example of the worst possible typo, which shocked and appalled Cheryl’s family, just moments after he won them over with a Marlon Brando impression. Speaks for itself:
Tripping Shaq at a Basketball Game, Shaq, Season Two
Larry’s just being ignorant here, with his legs stretched out, completely careless, and along comes Shaquille O’Neal… The best part of this clip is Richard Lewis: “It’s not an assassination attempt, for Christ’s sake!”
Commented on a Young Child’s Penis, The Nanny from Hell, Season Three
What a cringe-worthy moment! Things are running fine between Larry and Hugh until the latter’s son’s penis is mentioned. Fuck Hugh, Larry David!
Stabbed Ben Stiller in the Eye, Ben’s Birthday Party, Season Four
“The toothpicks… there’s nowhere to put the toothpicks!” Larry is working on his golf swing, avoiding a tedious classical song and accidentally blinding a famous actor all at once. I can’t find a clip for the scene, sorry.
Stole a Golf Club from a Dead Man’s Coffin, The 5 Wood, Season Four
To be fair, the 5 Wood was stolen, and Larry deserved it back, but to think all of this could’ve been avoided if he hadn’t been a smartmouth to a kid. I can’t find a clip for this one either.
Befriended a Sex Offender, The Seder, Season Five
“Cheryl, he’s a JEW! He’s a JEW!” Larry befriends a bald sex offender and invites him for Passover, with unexpected results.
Stole Flowers from a Memorial Site, The Ida Funkhouser Roadside Memorial, Season Six
After getting into an argument with the Dean of Admissions to an important school at the ice cream store, Larry steals flowers from a memorial site to give to the woman as an apology. It does not end well. Here is the aforementioned argument:
Got His Therapist Jailed, The Therapists, Season Six
In an episode jam packed with hilarity, Larry convinces his therapist to help him stage a mugging and rescue to help him get closer to Cheryl’s therapist. The cameo is funny enough before we see what he actually makes the therapist do.
Urinated on a Painting of Jesus, The Bare Midriff, Season Seven
In what is officially my favourite ever episode of Curb, Larry “splashes” a painting of Jesus, which has unforeseen results. Not only one of the funniest episodes of Curb, but also one of the funniest episodes of… well, anything.
Brutally Murdered a Beloved Swan, The Black Swan, Season Seven
Not too long after inadvertantly killing an old man, he proceeds to accidentally do away with a country club owner’s beloved pet, Kyoko the black swan. Only LD.

There. That’s my list of the top ten craziest, mot controversial, shocking things Larry David has done on Curb Your Enthusiasm. There are hundreds more crazier things throughout the whole series, and I can’t wait until Season Eight hits screens over here. Anything you’d like to add? Leave a comment below.
