CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM * Doctor's Phone

[Cobrakai77]

"well you could use it you obviously did" lol

[kingbotz]

Freeze-dried crystals.

[metemi]

seems a little capricious...

[JonKrotch]

I recently got a new physician, and as he was writing on his clipboard I asked him if doctors had a thing about using the phones in their offices. He gave me a weird look and said they didn't, but then I explained why I asked and we found out we were both big Curb fans. Word.

[devdanger]

Larry does what all of us wish we could do when the doctor isn't in the room.

[Robb0419]

I love the end when Larry falls asleep during the play, and drools on him back. Haha

[micro56]

LIBRARY DETECTIVE MR. BOOKMAN!

[Caeseur]

please larry sssssshoooooooossshh

[rmaringas]

Where is that actor playing the doctor from? He seems so familiar...

[Cannibalization]

The doctor played a book detective in one episode of Seinfeld. It's odd they didn't acknowledge that when the obviously acknowledge the show itself.

[schmeltingaccident]

I'm not a doctor but there definately is one prick involved.

[IamHipHop77]

the history for not using the phone is so complex, you don't wanna be bored with it.

[sandhu6000]

11 people used the doctor's phone

[cooliovasquez]

lol theres definitely a prick involved

[michig911]

There is one prick involved...lol

[Brundall525]

can y'all tell me what episode is this?

[StewartLucrative]

I love how the doctor slides the phone away from LD. hahaha

[MVF116]

What I love is that Larry goes into detail for every situation he gets himself into and always makes it worse LMAO. His character is very complex and rational. Its amazing

[galacticinquisitor]

What the hell?! You drooled on me!

[comprehensiveboy]

'The history of how we arrived at that is so complex ....' Jeez how complex could it be? Doctors think people are so dumb.

[comprehensiveboy]

Don't use the doctors phone - typical Hypocratic supremacism

[bodom6546]

there is definitely one prick involved.

[NeilFraudstrong]

@bodom6546

I'm not a doctor, but I agree. There's definitely a prick involved.

[dander337]

God, I wish the guy who played Mr. Bookman in Seinfeld payed homage to that role and started getting all "Dragnet" on Larry. I guess a Dr. acting that way wouldn't make sense though lol

[juan6810]

CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM is one of the funniest and best shows on TV

There's definitely 11 pricks involved

[daTruChosen]

-"here" to kill you ... oops

[daTruChosen]

"Guyver! I'm Zerabubus, and I'm hear to kill you!"

[Marketh00]

I'm so tempted to make a compilation of every confrontation Larry's had with a doctor or dentist or surgeon or hygeinist or...

[firestartertwistedfi]

@Marketh00 You should do it! I loved the episode where he got conflicting advice from the doctor and pharmacist, weighed it up, and went with the pharmacist :)

[ellpaxto]

11 people don't like people using the doctors phone.

[Aphasia17]

11 people got lost looking for family guy

[MrDrugist]

it does take some intelligence to appreciate and follow this show, as the jokes and humor are not that obvious as other shows. so if some find it not so funny its pretty understandable.

[Daneoid81]

Pretentious garbage. One of the least funny shows I have ever had the displeasure of watching. Acting is totally unconvincing, particularly Larry's, as are the situations.

[geogodley]

2 prix

[oldleekumboozie]

Curb your enthusiasm is not funny.

[DrPoon]

"there's definitely one prick involved."

Hiyoo!!

[MrBlueBerry4201]

dr's are good people:P

but why have a phone in your office when u dont want them to use it: / puzzleing

[Nameswel]

Doctor by day library detective by night!

[Hylgar]

"What a hell??? You drooled on me!" xD

[coldthugz]

LOl Mr Bookman

[comprehensiveboy]

I love the way the doctor look as if he's having a bad already as he comes into the room and sees Larry on the phone. It's really no surprise to him but he pushes it back to the wall like he's dealing with a naughty schoolboy. I hope I look as grouchy as he does when im his age - the doctor I mean. Nice mop of hair too.

[MrDrugist]

celoxumbra

thats a valid point. u really have to watch this show to get the way larry deals with situations just like this. you have to appreciate how both men just wont give an inch and thats the humor in it but not everyone will find this funny off course.

[CeloxUmbra]

I don't understand why this is funny, i'm not trying to start an arguement. I just want an explanation of why this should be funny, this guy just seems like a prick, and all he does is repeat the same joke over and over again till the point it's just plain annoying

[logdoors]

@CeloxUmbra you have to watch the show for sure to fully understand larry's character.

[JonahW55]

@CeloxUmbra he just questions everything and gets him self in really ridiculously awkward situations. You kinda have to watch some other episodes

[dadubs93]

Larry - leading the fight against Overly Political Correctness

[rlkavan]

There is definitely one prick involved..... LD is a comedic genius. Not in agreement with all of his political views, but the man fricken knows funny. Seinfeld said that he is the same person today, with $500 mill in the bank, that he was 20 years ago when he had nothing. A real person, and am glad to see someone with true talent at work.

[stonem001]

@rlkavan

LD has political views??

[SandrineSoprano]

Cute bloke

[ryanhosn1]

it's Mr. Bookman, one of the best Seinfeld characters ever!

[counterclockwise123]

i just finished watching the 5th season yesterday! this show is even better than Seinfeld. Larry David is the man!

[Caligula138]

He said "Just sign Ben Vereen who cares"! HAHAHA!!! awesome

[griesrt]

there is one prick, that I know. 1 prick. LOL

[TheWeezynator]

"Yeah there is a prick involved." "Im not a doctor but there is a prick involved."

[counterclockwise123]

im going to try this and see what kind of response i get from my doctor

[AlexBrasil123123]

@counterclockwise123

if you're serious about that......don't.

[BRussellspouts]

Larry reminds me of Socrates, and not just because he's bald.

[saskiapanter]

Lol one prick envolved lmao

[Suryavideo]

"there is definitely one prick involved"

[ShivDes123]

LOL real life shit into comedy epic

[jnthnlck]

4:14 - I'm not a doctor, but I agree there is one prick....LOL

[mrREDBIRDFAN]

A civil conversation on who is the bigger prick.

g

[smoothoperator427]

This guy is great, he was funnier as the Library Detective, I do think in the States the cost of healthcare you should be given the right to use the phone

[bukakee1]

LOL, love this show.

[pullupboy]

floyd gondoli

[choad45]

WHAT THE HELL!  you drooled on me!

[comprehensiveboy]

'americas's fattest cities' Jeff is sure pushing LA up that league table.

[counterclockwise123]

@comprehensiveboy lol

[counterclockwise123]

when larry answers the phone "Dude!" could that be a reference to The Big Lebowski? just wonderin cus the first thing i always think of when i hear "dude" is The Big Lebowski lol

[h2dude69]

The script is funny. But Larry David is a terrible actor. Jason played "Larry" MUCH better in Seinfeld. It would've been funnier if it was Jason.

[jnthnlck]

@h2dude69 But that's what makes Larry so brilliant; there is no script! just outlines...

[Jornev]

@h2dude69 That would have been a misfit George, not the character of Larry David.

[h2dude69]

@Jornev I guess you're right. I just miss Seinfeld sooo much. I want it baack!! :'(

[Jornev]

@h2dude69 I hear you there

[HigherPower2010]

@h2dude69 larry is a great actor

[KwameSource]

Bookman? Lmao

[counterclockwise123]

My Fav Line: "The history of how we arrived at that is so complex that I won't even bore you with it, just let it be said that we don't allow anyone to use the phones in the examination rooms." 2:10

[atlasshrugged2u]

@counterclockwise123 I agree, those lines are great! I love this actor too, who plays the doctor?...remember he was "Mr. Bookman in Seinfeld" he was funny as well in that too...If Larry really writes all this stuff he is a comedic genius! I wonder how much of this is "adlibed" and how much is written?

[ImNotYourFriend212]

Lol if he could just fucking tell Larry why he didnt want him to use the phone, he would have had him in___________and out in 10 minutes. Lol.

[SoulTrain75]

i dont get why they care so much about useing their phones either as long as it isnt a long distance call.

[alderaforall]

@SoulTrain75 It's kinda like when a guest comes over to your house and first thing they do is open the fridge and help themselves to whatever. A simple issue of respect or lack of?

[gthug2008]

haha does anyone else have a crush on Larry David??! I'm a sixteen year old girl but I have like the biggest crush on him!

[BigStick3456]

@gthug2008 yuck! lol

[counterclockwise123]

@BigStick3456 god i know! i saw that comment too. prolly just likes his personality tho and not his physical personality

[counterclockwise123]

@gthug2008 that is fucking nasty. just think of how saggy and old his balls are thats gross as hell. but i assume you like his personality and not his physical appearance.

[mslovelyeyes0]

LMAO. WHAT THE HELL, YOU DROOLED ON ME!!!! :D

[comprehensiveboy]

I had a doctor come to see me at my house the other day and he started using MY phone. I even caught him leafing through some old magazines on the sofa. Getting back I guess.

[manutd3001]

The awkwardness in this show makes it hilarious !

[sturmraist50]

the library cop!

[PaulWilliems]

I love the doctor's face when he first opens the dorr and sees Larry on the phone.

[namebrandaddikt]

Nothing like pissing the doc off when he is getting ready to operate on you!

[comprehensiveboy]

I'm with the doctor on this. Stitches? He should stich this schmuck's mouth. New York asshole. That's like a regular asshole. Only bigger.

[Ratama]

larry is in many ways a super hero.

[jgk381]

classic

[Chrisaaad]

Yeah there's definitely a prick involved.

[TrgdyAnn]

Larry david would argue with a ROCK! I am LMAO!

[greg5566]

Yeah there's a prick all right.

[imaginator]

Mr Bookman!

[asorabjee1]

@imaginator THANK YOU!! I've KNEW I had seen his face before on seinfeld and was killing myself over which character he played

[ZombiedustXXX]

Philip Baker Hall, delivers lines like a wizened Harvey Keitel, and with the same authority!

[amrishkelkar]

I love how he uses the word "capricious". Genius.

[comprehensiveboy]

Next time I'm with the doctor I'm gonna order a pizza.

[Agadalif]

mr bookman

[brianCIM]

@Agadalif yup. the guy is a brilliant comedic actor. Mr. Bookman is one of my all-time favorite Seinfeld characters. different character here, but just as funny. priceless.

[flintstone9812]

Next time USE the phone.

Wipe your arse with it.

[noonav]

lol, i love that he just CANNOT let it go! That's Larry!

[comprehensiveboy]

'Don't use the doctor's phone thats not right!' Sound moral guidance there. He's paying 10% of his income for that.

[jbond5150]

"yes, there is a prick involved." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[firestartertwistedfi]

"The history of how we arrived at that is so complex that I won't even bore you with it"

[TJHARR007]

I've been through this before

[Whillikersify]

I literally died at the end. "What the HELL? You drooled on me!"

[TheGrid187]

the doctor is the library cop bookman lol

[Tansey81]

lol I love the look the doctor gives when he first walks in @ 1:24

[oiyabastard]

haha DUDE

[MrFrozenCanuck]

LOl...he's such a man-child.

[mitchkrammeriscute]

bookman! the library cop.

[iamjohn89]

lol the doctor is the liberian from seinfeld

[Tansey81]

@iamjohn89 ... "liberian" ? Nice to see the American school system flourishing yet again :)

[iamjohn89]

i never spelt it like that if you fucking look and i am english you stupid prick and how sad is your fucking life that you come on youtube to tell people they have spelt something wrong even when they have not

[Tansey81]

@ imjohn89 ... So in England they spell it as "liberian" ? Since when?  You did indeed spell it that way, and everyone can see it, clear as day. Now you're so embarassed that you're trying to cover your tracks. Thanks for playing, sport. :)

[iamjohn89]

yes you stupid prick that is how you spell it u sad cunt and saying thanks for playing sport how fucking gay looooooooooooool

[Tansey81]

@imjohn89 ... You are stone stupid. Go find a dictionary, pal. And "looooooooooooool" doesn't sound gay at all. Uh huh. Thanks for playing bud ;)

[iamjohn89]

your welcome prick

[Tansey81]

@imjohn89 ... it's "you're" you illiterate, ignorant, benighted little douche bag. Go back to school. And if you're in school, go to another one. You need all the education you can get.

[iamjohn89]

an u need a life correcting spelling on youtube how sad are you

[Tansey81]

We gonna keep dragging this out or are we gonna let it go? I mean, I'm sorry for exposing you for the illiterate moron you really are, but your "get a life" replies are just so tired and old. Do you not have an original thought in that brain of yours?

[halodude1177]

I gotta question to all the fans. Does anyone else think like Larry does? I've done this SAME exact thing and thought the SAME things xD

[MrLeglamp]

I think most people think like Larry does but not many have the nerve to actually say anything. Even Larry himself says he wishes he were more like T.V. Larry.

[chanelxdi0r]

@MrLeglamp i agree i think people want to do or say things, and larry just beats them to it.

[ImahGoer]

@MrLeglamp Abso'fuckin'lutley. I would love to have his 'balls'. In fact, if my ISP is reading this they can F*** Off !!! He is the man, I love him.

[NeilFraudstrong]

@MrLeglamp

Haha, yeah. It freaks me out when I see Larry David being interviewed on the Seinfeld DVDs and he's out of character and being serious. I'm like waiting for a racial epithet or awkward moment to happen. It's so strange to realize that he's not this Larry. I guess it's because the show is documentary style and you kind of almost believe it is the real Larry David's real life.

[LyricalWax]

man alive that was frickin hilarious. This is why I love curb so much, there are so many of these humorous exchanges throughout the series. No other programme matches the natural realistic style of comedy found here.

[pullupboy]

No, thats Floyd Gondolli

[bubmurphy]

yes that is bookman,the library cop.

[303bassline]

Is that Mr. Bookman from Seinfeld?

[Daviid89]

@303bassline

Yes.

[skaterjay0012]

i agree, i'm not a doctor, but there's one prick

[counterclockwise123]

@skaterjay0012 That is not what Larry says exactly. What he does say is as follows: "I agree, I'm not a doctor, but I agree, there is one prick." If you're going to quote someone get it right, especially if that someone is someone who is as great as Larry David is.

[JonKrotch]

@counterclockwise123 I think there is one prick here.

[counterclockwise123]

@JonKrotch lol

[miketodd67]

I love the prick exchange at the end.

[Aphasia17]

"what the hell!?!?"

[EMBOBZ2112]

Lmao! I love these series .. how he always takes things one step further :')

[jkellybrew]

"The history of how we arrived at that is so complex...Hilarious"

[mrREDBIRDFAN]

Larry gets even in the end when he falls asleep in the balcony at the theater and drools on the doc below.

[paulsak59]

Super crisp dialogue just like Mr. Bookman from Seinfeld. Gotta love the Sein!

[jacderida]

that's what's so hilarious about this scene. any other person would have just said "sorry" when called out on using the phone, but in typical larry fashion he won't let a petty issue drop :).

[jfas325]

then dont fuckin watch it! quit complaining!

[comprehensiveboy]

Why do people down thumb perfectly reasonable explanations on this page? Spose I'll get them now too. I will never understand people.

[LyricalWax]

haha even though I agree with you I had to downthumb you.
