Everything about Richard Lewis cracks me up. that guy is hilarious. I love how even when he at his most furious he can't help but laugh at Larry's stupid jokes every time
good cinematographers are like that - they feel the scene as much as a director, they have to know the flow of the dialog, especially on a much-adlibbed show like this (at least the earlier seasons). really the unsung heroes.
I love how Larry goes off topic twice in the middle of the argument, totally ignoring Lewis' original problem. "Is life too short?" and "Do you call him Ben Laden or Bin Laden?" RIP Richard! We love you and we miss you!
This is actually a tactic recommended by a lot of people to diffuse argument and even potential violence. Just suddenly change the topic and move into a friendly tone and "ask" the other person something. It makes them think and calms the mood. I have tried it and it works. Once a guy was so furious that he was about to hit me and I suddenly changed the topic to sports and asked him something about the previous day's match. He got startled and took a pause for a couple of second and calmed down. This thing works.
I used to hate Bin Laden. He was the worse. Then we got something even worse ISIS. And just when you thought that ISIS could not be topped. Along comes Trump.
wanderer1955 - Trump has the potential to be even worse than LBJ in Vietnam. And Bush in Iraq. He has already taken babies and children away from their parents on American soil.
Go tell that to the victims of Bin Laden, and see their reaction. I advise you to run and hide right after you tell them. There is no comparison what so ever tween Trump and Laden except inside your tiny empty head.
one of my absolute favorite things about Curb is how Larry and whoever it may be he is arguing with at the time both take a moment to stop and joke about dumb bullshit... then laugh about it and go RIGHT back to arguing 😂😂😂
This was a for real ad lib moment because you can see Richard crack a smile and try to cover it up, right after Larry says "You call him BEN Laden?" And then he recovers brilliantly with the Ben Laden's shirts riff. Gold.
@@parrogakaparadise9477 I guess people like you are just too goddamn stupid to pick up on the subtleties of communication like saying the word you actually mean instead of a completely different word. I guess I would expect a person who still uses twat as an insult to get hung up about a couple letters.
Every Larry-Richard argument is like: Richard: I can't believe you slept with my Korean girlfriend, you're an asshole and a backstabber!! Larry: I thought she's Chinese, are you sure about that? Richard: *smiles* That's a really good question TBH, I never had the chance to really find out *both laugh*
Larry is breaking the improv norms by changing the premise that your improv partner presents but then Richard follows the improv rule by strictly going with the premise your improv partner present and result is absolute gold. (To paraphrase Kenny Banya).
The "Bin" in "Bin Laden" *is* indeed the same as "Ben" in "Ben-Jamin" Both words mean "son." Hebrew and Arabic are both Semitic languages and share so much history.
Anyone that remembers 9/11 and initially finding out about Bin Laden have all had that same confused answer to whether we were pronouncing his name right lol!
