Maxwell Doing a Larry David Cover

I watched this past season of Curb your Enthusiasm when it aired. It ended a few months ago, I think, and I enjoyed it. Then recently I've been listening to Pretty Wings by Maxwell a lot and something sounded familiar. When Larry David does his new (I think, this is the first season I've watched of Curb) catchphrase of, "Pretty, pretttyyy, pretttayy, pretttaaayyyyyy good." It reminds me of from about the 2:30 mark to the 3:20 mark (and its best at 3:20) of the aforementioned Pretty Wings.

See fo' yo' gottdamn self.





Pretty Wings by Maxwell (our part is at 3:20)

My $.02 About Curb Your Enthusiasm

I like the show enough but I can't get over how the combination of two elements. Element #1 is that Larry David's character is just an a-hole- Not everyone is nice, I get that. But element #2 is how he is obsessed with delineating and following social rules- the inviter always pays for the invitee's lunch, even when the invitee insists (and touches the bill first), or when out to lunch with a friend and you go dutch, you coordinate the tip, etc.

But if Larry is so compelled with creating and following these advanced social norms, why does he completely ignore the most basic social tenet of "don't be a total asshole"? That's like trying to learn calculus before you know how to add.
