I will say this about him. Stand up is not his thing.

He's a better writer than anything.

Your holocaust jokes aren’t funny and they’re making me fuhorous.

Joan Rivers not apologizing for Holocaust joke

Larry David, making fun of feminists

Rivers, while appearing Monday on “Fashion Police” on E!, talked about the dress model Heidi Klum wore to the Academy Awards
“The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens,” Rivers said.

David’s schtick has always been an urban, elite, navel-gazing, sexually obsessed, politically correct, liberal Jew.

He’s been doing that for the last 30 years....

Interestingly, according to "Finding Your Roots", Larry David has a slave owning, Confederate soldier, great great grandparent in his lineage. As a white male in the United States, his political activism should point to his white privilege being obtained on the backs of people of color. Will he denounce himself?

I agree with her on this, nickcarraway.

Apologizing for jokes is so gay.

We mustn't let the stick up the assians take over the world.

More jokes and more pictures of Mohammed for all my men!!!!

The Anti-Defamation League called the remark "vulgar and hideous," but Rivers, who is Jewish, said it is her way of getting people to talk. "It's a joke No. 1. No. 2 it is about the Holocaust. This is the way I remind people about the Holocaust. I do it through humor," she told HLN's "Showbiz Tonight." Joan Rivers' Holocaust joke criticized Joan Rivers' Holocaust joke criticized 03:32 2012: Joan Rivers on staying relevant 2012: Joan Rivers on staying relevant 03:56 When asked by host A.J. Hammer why she won't apologize, Rivers said, "For what?" She also said critics should focus on people who have anti-Semitic views and not someone whose late husband lost his entire family during the Holocaust. "Of all people, Joan Rivers should know better," Abraham H. Foxman, ADL national director, said in a statement posted on the organization's website. "There are certain things about the Holocaust that should be taboo. This is especially true for Jews, for whom the Holocaust is still a deeply painful memory." The website said Foxman is a Holocaust survivor.

His politics notwithstanding I think Larry David is a comedy genius.

Started watching Curb Your Enthusiasm on an airplane. The episode where he was having sex with the Palestinian hottie who hated Jews, and who ran his favorite chicken restaurant, was classic.

[nickcarraway]

What about 9/11 jokes?

[sparklite2]

It was cringe-worthy and laugh out loud funny. I doubt anyone other than Larry David could have pulled it off, though.

[onedoug]

Those are his only jokes, eh?

“Oh, Mista’ Larry, you so faunny!”

Not.

[Kickass Conservative]

Why are they blaming just Larry David?

He didn’t just wing it out there, the gag was written, rehearsed, rewritten, and was heard by the SNL Dress Rehearsal Audience, every SNL Performer and every SNL Production Member beforehand.

Is Larry just like the Characters he wrote into the Seinfeld Show (George) or the Character on his HBO Show where is supposedly plays himself, or is it all just an Andy Kaufman like performance?

[nickcarraway]

I think the Julius Streicher remark is over the top. Being offended is one thing, but it’s not like we are close to being in 1930’s Germany.

[bagster]

That was hard to watch. I couldn’t get past the Art Garfunkle fro with the Paul Simon bald spots.

Why did hitler kill himself? He got the gas bill.

I seriously can’t believe anyone on this forum actually tunes into Saturday Night Live.
