Here at Hipsterjew we love old people. We love them when they are perverse and when they are angry. I can’t explain why, but I’m fairly certain it has to do with the fact that all the writers are secretly crotchety, old Jews. And we therefore love everything having to do with Larry David. If Seinfeld is our Old Testament, then Curb Your Enthusiasm is our profane and perverse New Testament. This is what members of Jews for Larry believe in.
Last night Larry went on The Marriage Ref, a new NBC show which I discussed recently. It was as if the prophet Elijah had to come to earth before Passover just to give marriage advice. Larry was livid. He was sarcastic. He was misogynistic. And he was friggin’ hilarious.
This affirms my theory that Larry David isn’t actually acting on Curb Your Enthusiasm. The man really is psychotic and misogynistic and this episode proves it.
I had my doubts about the Marriage Ref lasting an entire 13 episodes. As long as they continue to put angry comedians on (I’m thinking Louis Black soon?), and find people with outrageous marriage problems, I’ll certainly be watching. My only question: Why are so many of the couples Jewish? Have we lost faith in real psychologists?

I love Larry David’s comedy. But hate his misogyny. I guess you take the things you like and dismiss the things you don’t with any form of art/entertainment.

I don’t think you can separate the two.
