The main story arc for season four involved Larry being cast as the lead in the Mel Brooks’ musical The Producers, and despite his general Larry David-ness, Brooks insisted he was the right fit for the legendary role. Even across a whole series, not a lot tops the visual of a door opening on Larry holding up a severed doll’s head going with the face of “Well, here ya go.”īest Line: “Get me the f**king head, alright! Both of you, because I’ve had it! You four-eyed f**k, and you fat piece of shit! Get me the head!” - Susie Greene ( Susie Essman)

A ludicrous series of events that involves stuffing a doll’s head down his pants and thus getting a bad reaction on his junk, the episode layers in one element we can all relate to: the terror of an un-lockable bathroom door.
Thinking it was okay to give the head of NBC’s daughter’s doll a haircut without hinting it may not grow back (“I thought it was understood!”) Larry has to spend the rest of the episode going back and forth trying to replace the heads of a valuable doll named Judy. This very fact is the groundwork for one of the strangest, funniest episodes of the series. If the series as a whole has proved anything, it’s that Larry is just about terrible with most children, even when he’s trying to be nice. In essence, this episode effectively set the tone for the whole series.īest Line: “My wife refers to it as 'The House that Cum Build'. As the series would again and again prove, these are all scenarios where you would actually feel bad for Larry, if he just didn’t make it all hilariously worse by being himself. And to top it all off, Larry refuses to take off his f**king shoes in the house. Larry's mishaps include being subjected to the revenge of a fellow golfer after (understandably) not bending down to pick up his ball, getting his directions torn apart by an angry elderly woman after asking for for help while lost in the woods and feeling the wrath of Gil’s wife after breaking an expensive lamp. What’s so brilliant about this episode is that in later episodes, Larry’s faux pas would have a much larger scope, but this one wrings so much awkwardness out of small scenarios. Guest-starring the incomparable Bob Odenkirk as a former porn star Gil Bang, this early episode of the show finds Larry and wife Cheryl ( Cheryl Hines) getting lost in the woods on the way to Gil’s house for what Larry thinks is a party, but is really an intimate dinner party.
