I discovered it kind of late too. I think I saw a clip online, probably on You Tube. It might have been during some show like Entertainment Tonight or something, though.
When Bob Odenkirk told Cheryl "my wife refers to it as the house that cum built", I was getting there. When I saw The Beloved Cunt episode, I knew this was my show.
Funny, the first reference of Curb I heard was on The Office from Bob Odenkirk's character in it. He appears for one episode, and does the whole "pretty pretty pretty good" 😂
After seeing Larry play Bernie Sanders on SNL, I decided to give Curb a try. Started from the beginning and just finished Season 11. Even got my wife into it, although she can only take 2-3 episodes at a time.
Seeing Larry’s father inform Larry that his mother died and Larry was not informed of her death nor of the funeral arrangements, solely on the basis of Larry’s mother telling Larry’s father not to bother Larry while he was in New York. What’s also great is that Larry’s father withholding this information would’ve gone on for longer had Larry not shown up unannounced.
I first watched Clear History as we had HBO at the time, and loved it! Didn’t know much about Larry prior to that other than Seinfeld. Binge watched every Curb episode from that point.
The very first original HBO special that was a fake documentary that followed Larry around documenting his comeback as a stand up comedian. Thank goodness they made a series out of this.
I was lucky to watch the show early on. The episode where Bob Odenkirk describes the hot sauce trick is what got me realizing this show was something special. God that brings me back. I was 16 or 17. Those days people were still heartbroken over Seinfeld ending so my dad was super stoked about curb and we had just gotten HBO as part of a deal when we switched to cable
I used to rewatch Seinfeld as i feel asleep. One day I heard from a friend that the co creator of Seinfeld was making a sitcom and it kinda looked like the office.. its called curb.. the rest was history
The first clip from the show that I saw was when Larry and Cheryl were trying to find parking at the airport, and Cheryl said something sarcastic like “wow, who would think it would be hard to find parking at the airport.” And then the debacle with Larry accusing the guy of stealing his ticket and the guy said “if it was yours, it would say ‘Fucking Douchebag.’
I had recently gotten HBO for the first time and remember thinking I knew I was going to like this show because it was my kind of humor.
I remember travelling around America on a gap year in 2005 and seeing posters on the subway for Curb, had no idea what it was.
The next year, in Australia, they would air episodes late at night and I was hooked.
I think of it as a sequel to Seinfeld.
If George and Jerry went to LA and ‘Jerry’ became a massive success.
Pretty sure it was in the first episode but when Larry tries to open a package he bought that was encased in plastics. He ends up screaming and trying to stab it with scissors. I’ve felt that and knew I found a kindred spirit character.
Back before streaming apps and when I was struggling in life, it would come on late nights on one of the local channels you didn’t need cable for, back in the early 2000s…been hooked ever since!
I saw a random clip that time when Larry and Jeff were playing softball. They got a pep talk from this guy’s name that I don’t remember about fucking the other team’s sister in the cnt.
Was a big Seinfeld fan in high school, went away to college, and we had HBO in our dorm room, and I stumbled upon the doll episode and was hooked. I didn't know it was Larry David and the connection to Seinfeld until I mentored the show to my mother.
I needed a good laugh after my breakup and i had just finished succession on hbomax, there was nothing interesting on until i saw the cover for curb and since i was a fan of Seinfeld i thought i give it a shot..I’m glad i did
I heard about the Shaq episode way back when. Never watched it since I didn’t have hbo and finally saw it during a hotel stay. Was hooked ever since. 2003 maybe?
I remember when this show first came on HBO back in the late 90s early 2000's my sister was watching an episode and she was laughing hard and that stuck with me.
In 2021, I had a memory of that time and I started watching every episode and loved it.
A YouTube short came up for me when he decided to buy his housemaid a bra and Cheryl and Susie got upset at him for doing so and after i watched the entire show i hope Cheryl really does not come back into Larry's life she is so toxic for him.
This one is unique. I was supposed to be at a ProAm golf event with Larry David. I couldn’t make it but a buddy of mine ended up going. He posted so much fun stuff about/with LD that I decided to give the show a go.
I recall specifically a video where someone was playing on the piano and LD was singing along with dirty limericks. They were hilarious. And it got me hooked.
I still kick myself in the ass for not making it out. I just wasn’t a fan at the time, but I honestly could have moved things around and made it if I had the will to.
A friend told me that he couldn't watch it.
This friend loved Tge Office, Always Sunny, and all the other comedy shows that I liked, but they just couldn't get through this one.
I was hooked from the first episode. I was hungover and tired. I have never said, "oh, no," and "oh my god," so much at a television show as this.
There's cringe comedy and then there is Curb.
The original HBO special. It was brilliant in a way that was a mess but such a lovely mess.
An HBO special documentary style where he ruins his chance to get an HBO special. Damn genius.
That being said if want 1 episode to get someone into Curb it’s always season 8 ep 3. Palestinian Chicken restaurant.
I had a DVD set of the show someone let me borrow. I would binge watch it at night, fall asleep and the show’s tune would keep playing on a loop.
My wife would hear it and would have to come down and shut it off. Eventually she started watching with me and we’ve been hooked ever since.
My youngest son started watching a few episodes with us one night and exclaimed “I hate this guy” but soon came to understand Larry and he became a fan too. Now we all quote the show frequently.
I saw a clip on tiktok. It was all the scenes with the blind pianist who was dating a "model". I clicked like, commented and favorited it, and then the algorithm started feeding me more clips.
Then, I saw the scene where they were eating lunch talking about Richard Lewis' burlesque dancer girlfriend. The second I saw that I went straight to Max and started binging.
I was 13 when "Seinfeld" debuted and knew who Jerry was from his stand-up and some radio commercials he did for beer (imagine that?) that I thought were funny, so I started watching the show from the start. I would read the names in the credits and saw Larry David as the co-creator and co-producer, and the writer of so many episodes, so by Season 3 I wanted to know more about this guy.
I went to college in 1994 and got on the internet for the first time in my life and not long after I searched for Larry David. I found some interesting stories about his life, work on "Fridays" and "SNL", and his stand-up career - it clinched for me that he was the driving force behind the show. For those not around in the mid to late 1990s, "Seinfeld" was huge and Jerry was getting virtually all the credit in the press and in the public's eye as the brains behind the show - not Larry or any of the writers. Jerry was talked about as the guy who changed TV sitcoms and was responsible for all those phrases that entered the national lexicon - but I knew it was Larry.
I was such a fan of Larry's that I saw "Sour Grapes"!! I still don't think it's nearly as bad as it's reputation and is somewhat enjoyable. When I heard Larry was going to do his own show on HBO I was ready for it from the start.
A friend of mine in high school had HBO, and we watched the first few episodes of season 1 and thought it was hysterical. But I forgot about it after that because I didn’t know who Larry David was and couldn’t remember the name of the show.
Then a few years later in college, I was at the video store with my friend and girlfriend and saw the season 1 DVD on the shelf. It came back to me that’s what the show was, so we rented it and we all got hooked!
Huge Seinfeld fan. College girlfriend had HBO in 2000, so I watched the first season repeatedly. A few years later, I found seasons 1-4 at a used DVD place. Eventually bought the next few seasons. Over the years, I would find short term HBO promos through my cable provider. Curb was literally the only thing I cared about on HBO at the time.
I saw a clip of larry criticizing bob einstein’s girlfriend’s water at a dinner party. I immediately started the show
One of the rare instances where literally everyone, including Susie, agree with Larry on that point.
Tastes like I put a straw up a frogs ass
I discovered it kind of late too. I think I saw a clip online, probably on You Tube. It might have been during some show like Entertainment Tonight or something, though.
When Bob Odenkirk told Cheryl "my wife refers to it as the house that cum built", I was getting there. When I saw The Beloved Cunt episode, I knew this was my show.

Beloved cunt is so good. The intersection of typography and pornography?

[удалено]
I remember that scene lol I too lost it when he went off tangent talking about barn and if horses live there. That whole episode is gold!
LOL
But you yadda yadda'd the best part
Seeing Larry’s father inform Larry that his mother died and Larry was not informed of her death nor of the funeral arrangements, solely on the basis of Larry’s mother telling Larry’s father not to bother Larry while he was in New York. What’s also great is that Larry’s father withholding this information would’ve gone on for longer had Larry not shown up unannounced.
Larry using his mother’s death to get out of social engagements is a pretty great moment, too.
I rented the first season from blockbuster and was immediately hooked with the pants tent
Sophia Loren was once a source!
Blockbuster was once a source of entertainment.
The poker game, season 2 "Eh... In retrospect I should have called him a pussy" The hardest I'd ever laughed and I was sold on Curb
The Fuck the Jew oughta you episode.
No idea what got me started on Curb. But I related with it so quickly that it became part of my being.
I first watched Clear History as we had HBO at the time, and loved it! Didn’t know much about Larry prior to that other than Seinfeld. Binge watched every Curb episode from that point.
I was like isn’t Larry David one of the creators of Seinfeld? The answer was yes, I was in.
I was like "Seinfeld with cursing? Hell yes!"
Same.
When I think about Larry being on the spectrum.
The very first original HBO special that was a fake documentary that followed Larry around documenting his comeback as a stand up comedian. Thank goodness they made a series out of this.
Caught it after the sopranos it was the turn over episode. Where his Caterer took the food home. Was hooked immediately.
First one I watched was Crazy Eyez Killa and I was hooked.

Would Larry even be tappin' asses without this man? The difference in the number of asses Larry tapped before and after Leon showed up is incredible.
A Jack a lit?
My friend in high school telling me about the Beloved Cunt episode
First episode i ever saw was the car pool lane. Hooked immediately!

I watched it on flight entertainment one time and immediately binged the whole show when I got home
My dad was watching this when I was like 12 and I saw the Trick or Treat episode. Hooked for life after that.
Heard it was good, watched an episode.
My sister bothered me for years to watch it. I finally gave in. HAHAHAHAHAH

The weatherman golf scene
The first few seconds of episode 1, showing the pants tent. I was like “yup, been there. I like this show.”
I heard about the Shaq episode way back when. Never watched it since I didn’t have hbo and finally saw it during a hotel stay. Was hooked ever since. 2003 maybe?
I love tits
I saw a clip that bald asshole is a hate crime
The magical vagina did it for me.

I have seen the short you're referring to lol that would have def made me watch the show if I hadn't already.

Seinfeld reunion season
A friend told me that he couldn't watch it. This friend loved Tge Office, Always Sunny, and all the other comedy shows that I liked, but they just couldn't get through this one. I was hooked from the first episode. I was hungover and tired. I have never said, "oh, no," and "oh my god," so much at a television show as this. There's cringe comedy and then there is Curb.
I wish I remembered so I could kiss them!

My wife yogas and I don't. She showed me "Namaste." I was hooked!

For me it was the fact that Crave had 3 months half off.
This subreddit. I then watched all of it.
I LOVE the theme song. Those tubas drew me in.
I saw that clip of the waitress with severe diarrhea at the country club on Twitter and was immediately sold
It was on Showcase in Canada. Episode 1, Season 1 -- just luckily stumbled upon it while flipping channels.
A friend of mine in high school had HBO, and we watched the first few episodes of season 1 and thought it was hysterical.

The Doll. Never laughed harder in my life watching Suzie for the first time

Over the years, I would find short term HBO promos through my cable provider. Curb was literally the only thing I cared about on HBO at the time.
The fashion!!! 
I saw the clip where Larry didn't thank Sammie's fiance for his service, and thought it was hilarious. Started my first marathon that same night.
The maga hat episode was so funny.
Just loved the comedy of Seinfeld and figured it'd at least be somewhat similar with Curb.
