“I’ll read it with dinner” is a freaking incredible line. It’s so benign, yet so insulting too. This is crazy, but: it’s honestly one of my favorite lines in the show.
I completely agree with you. I have always thoughts it's one of the best lines in the series
I agree with both of you. Having said that, there are many incredibly memorable lines from every season.
@@JasonandaCamera well played 👍
don't understand, care to elaborate?
@@johnwu3593 “I’ll read it with dinner” is basically saying "this ''''''book'''''' is so short and insignificant that I could extract what little value its 17 pages offer while I eat my leftover Thai food."
These comments are cancer.....having said that, I'm glad to be a part of them.
You're an asshole, having said that, I'm glad I was your first comment.
If these are cancer then I don’t want kemo
U have a crazy looking face, having said that, ur a very wise cat.
Why "cancer"? Why, I ask, why, you idiot?
I hate when people say that. Its a crutch
Jason comes in feeling so good about life. Sunglasses. Champagne. Self published book.
More like a pamphlet.
and then they brutally cut him down
Then they... curbed his enthusiasm.
@@help4343hahahahahahahahaha
Lol self published
When Jerry says " raise your kids without raising them." The genuine laughter is Larry is fantastic.
Probably wasn’t scripted that’s why
@@nicholaslim2913supposedly none of it is scripted
It wasn't as genuine as you think. He was acting without acting. They literally have a script and they ran the lines earlier
@@rickypacheco5272a lot of Curb is actually improvised. They have an idea on where they are going but it’s not entirely scripted line for line.
@@tylergibbons1678 so then, acting without acting
I feel like Larry and Jerry's conversation was just a normal conversation they would have in real life
Totally
I guess you could say they were acting without acting
It’s all written, scripted, rehearsed and edited. Nothing is ever real when a camera is rolling.
Have you ever laughed at someone else’s home movies...no
Comedy takes practice.
@@bradmilano3717 ... Kay!
@@bradmilano3717 you sound fun
jason's face after 'i'll read it with dinner' is emmy worthy
Yeah, its great acting. Yet no acting occurred.
@@aeshaeshaesh it was completely hidden from us. Masterful
@@michaelneufeld4515 we did not witness an ounce of acting technique, yet he acted it out for us so wonderfully
He was acting without acting
@@GameTime-yj6qv was he
I'm watching Curb Your Enthusiasm, without watching Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Having said that I still watch Curb Your Enthusiasm
😂
Watching so well, it's not like watching at all.
No -- I'm keenly aware that you're watching.
Actually, I think you're over-watching.
By the way, when the watching becomes too dangerous, we'll have someone stunt-watch for you. But don't worry -- the edit will be seamless.
I like how Jerry still treats George the same way as in Seinfeld.
Exactly.
Yep love it at the end, a taste of their relationship in Seinfeld
The transition into the “having said that, I think it’s a terrific book” line is incredibly genius
Yes, great follow up to Larry's example!
Except that it’s “terrific title”, not “terrific book”. Such incredible genius, that you didn’t even pay attention to what the actual line is.
@@longtallshorty5791Shut the fuck up. Having said that, you're technically right.
If you quote a simple sentence at least try to do it correctly...
And so began the Mocha Joe rivalry! #LatteLarrys
F. Moco Joe
Lol is this how it started? I couldn’t remember
@@cheefussmith9380 it's started over some cold coffee and a wobbly table.
@@YGODueltainer | no it started over Larry not tipping MocaJoe for favor of dropping off the jumper cables.
Mocha Joe can get fucked. Larry wanted to be his friend and he clearly only cares about money
"I'll read it with a dinner" 😂
Mohsen. F he’s so shady😂😂
Mohsen. F Eh close enough
😆
Too funny
I chuckled when he said that, then died laughing at George’s reaction
Larry with his "I'll read it with dinner" and Jerry with "yet but it's all acting", is typically my family's reactions to anything I do and I feel happy and excited about it 🤣🤣
Joy Whack-A-Mole, as Maria Bamford calls it.
😂😂🤣🤣
yup. they always gotta slant it with a backhanded compliment. Can't ever let you just have a win.
Their chemistry is undeniable. Love the genuine laugh Larry gives at Jerry’s comments.
I agree about the chemistry. I'd like to think the Seinfeld set was hilarious and lots of fun, but seeing Larry David on Curb, if he is 1% like his character in real life, he was probably a neurotic, antsy pain in the ass. Maybe on these Curb episodes he was calmer, relaxed since he was already a billionaire, but I also doubt that the security of having money makes up for all those other insecurities and indiosyncrasies.
CURB would do 10-15 takes. So the laughs (in this scene) are - in all likelihood - not genuine. Having said that, your comment is pretty darn good.
This is one of the most addictive to watch scenes from the whole show. Having said that, it could have been a little longer after Jason entered the scene.
LD is right as usual. A favor shouldn't require a tip.
Except,tips for favors are like grease on gears, they make another favor easier to come back around 😊
Except mocha joe is an average guy and Larry is worth 450 million dollars. It’s not like him and Joe are good pals. If it were Larry and Ted there wouldn’t be need of a tip
I think if i was going inside a building already and someone i sort of know gave me something light to drop off and they offered me money i would probably decline the money. If I'm already going there who cares? I get that tipping is a thing in the US but for pretty much everything? Take a chill pill, folks.
I'm assuming LD was a good tipper. I don't think one was called for here. He asked for a favor. Your waiter, valet, cabbie etc. aren't doing favors, their doing jobs.
it's funny b/c it's grey. My thinking is if it's a friend a favor w/ no tip, acquaintance maybe, but a worker I'd tip. Mocha Joe's a worker. It's in his name for pete's sake lol
This scene is wonderfully written. Having said that is such a Jerry Seinfeld bit.
curb doesnt use a script
nothing of this was pre written
@@el0j the actual lines arent written but the point and plot of the scene are written.
They don’t have scripts…having said that, you’re right
He said the scene was written well not the script god damm ! theres a story and premise to each episode. And whose to say its all improvised they probably have prepared lines just to make a scene funnier. Quality writing goes into this show and the improvised scripts r just added chaos to make a potentially funnier scene. This scene even addresses the stupidity of imrov in a way in hidden subtext which comes from a well crafted script. Like bro the set can’t improvise how it looks.??
This is Seinfeld without Seinfeld. Really, in the last lines they become again the characters from Seinfeld.
Having said that, it's not really Seinfeld.
And without a laugh track the humor becomes darker.
George is getting upset!
Larry and Jerry together are pure gold. GOLD!
They should consider making a show together
thats gold Jerry!
definetly
"aahh...the actor prepares" underrated line, it kills me every time.
"I'll read it with dinner." I love that line.
George's face afterwards is perfect
@@donotcallmeahipster that was acting.... without acting
seth1455 how is that insulting tho? I don’t get it
@@kleshayer3751 he is mocking the book for being almost magazine size lol
It’s good. Also like when Elaine grabs Larry and he just puts the book back instead of keeping it to read. He will never read it even though it is concise
“You’re really cuttin a figure these days” is a superbly veiled insult 😆👍🏻
Good point. They make this clear in the scene by how Jason smiles and says thanks and clearly doesn't get how this comment is insulting, whereas he clearly is offended by Larry and Jerry's later backhanded compliments of his book. Elegantly conceived; brilliantly acted.
Larry’s insistence on calling Mocha Joe, ‘Mocha Joe’ to his face instead of just Joe intrigued me too.
I couldn’t tell whether he was supposed to be attempting to belittle him or if he was just supposed to be completely ignorant of how that could be taken negatively after the first one or two times.
Probably just Larry being deliberately pig headed as usual😆
"Well, you've really built yourself up into something."
@pronkb000
😆👍🏻
The "I'll read it with dinner" line is great, of course. But I think my favorite line of this scene is when Jerry says, "It could be 'Acting With Acting'." Sounding nice in tone but really chastising the stupidity of the title and pointing out that the exact opposite title would work just as well.
Brilliant.
Having said that, I think it’s a great title.
Years ago, Allen Ginsburg the poet, sat next to me at a bar. I told him I kept a copy of his book "Mind Breaths" next to the toilet and read it on the john. I meant it as a compliment, where else do you spend time to contemplate poetry except when you have time to take a dump. His response was "that's a good place for it". Anyway he was a great guy, and just sitting next to him the waitresses gave me free anything, and all the women in the bar wanted to take me home. It was a great night for me.
i've used the "having said that" line so fking many times, usually after I've made a Larry David-esque faux pas that went down like a lead balloon.
Except it wouldn't. "Acting with acting" would just sound pointless and redundant. But the point of acting, at least in the circles that come from Stanislavski's naturalist method (that is to say, Hollywood and most of cinematographic production since like, half a century), is to seem natural and real, and not trying to hard, which means you need to be convincing to the point that you don't seem to try. That is the basis of illusion.
And Jason's face realizing Jerry is right...that face reaction had George written all over it.
Jerry steals the scene. What a guy.
HIs conversations with Jerry are my favorite because its like he’s the only person that can crack Larry up with only a few words.
"I'll read it with dinner", and the looks on their faces gets me every time.
I like how Jason's sunglasses just disappear half way through.
A masterclass in wearing sunglasses without wearing sunglasses
he takes them off.. he's holding them in his hand
I couldnt see him at first due to his size and reflecting head. Having said that i think he is terrific.
Yeah, a natural move. Acting, without acting.
good catch. At 3:41 you can see he's wearing them in the periphery and a split second later they're off his face.Maybe his next book can be on magic.
I love how “having said that” comes back at the end of the scene. Brilliant!
Jason's acting here is phenomenal
He was acting?
I find him painfully unfunny in anything else he's ever done, even in interviews. Having said that, on Seinfeld and Curb, he's fantastic.
@@deanlowdon8381 without acting
I love the genius of the "acting without acting" discussion as a self reference about doing a Seinfeld reunion without doing a Seinfeld reunion.
Larry David and Jerry really are soulmates lol I feel like I only ever really see LD smile genuinely when he’s with Jerry
"I'll read it with dinner!" so unnecessary. Larry always has to say a little something
He’s a “bit much”.
The “having said that” reference is soooo true!😂 I’m guilty!
I can't stand "I'm just saying". Of course you are!
April G I never say “but having said that”....but having said that...
The point of saying it is, if you are going to make another point and it could seem hypocritical to your original point, you get in first.
Makes sense to me
April G
Having said that...
Probably the truest thing in Curb history.
Just seeing George and Jerry at the end was kind of a modern day snippet of what we all miss from Seinfeld 😂
Larry : I'll read it with dinner.
Jason: stares at Larry for few seconds.
I wish he said what he was thinking ..lol
Jasons face at 3:48🤣 . Man... the awkward silences and social faux pas’s are what truly make this show great
Faux pas'es
Acting without acting and the riff on it is pure Jerry Seinfeld
Having said that...
The difference in their tone and believability between when they’re talking about plot points and when they’re riffing is crazy. I feel like when they’re doing their “having said that” conversation they’re acting without acting.
4:21 Jerry: “Right, it’s hiding the acting, and yet it’s all acting.”
Jason (with a defeated look): “Mostly”
I would love to see Larry, Seinfeld and the whole cast really, in a million more scenes. This is pure GOLD.
This show should be named Mild inconvenience
no
Yes, exactly
Slight Awkwardness
lot of Funkhauser died for larry’s inconvenience! this isn’t a game
Josh Plouffe it’s make believe. It’s on TV. It’s not real life! Anything else I need to explain?
Acting without acting, so basically what Jerry Seinfeld did all those years on Seinfeld lol.
He just hid the actor's effort.
🤣
Jerry never claimed to be an actor, and he was just playing an exaggerated version of himself
That would have been awesome if Jason told Jerry that
Having said that, it's one of the best sitcoms of all time
I don't understand how Larry and Jerry never made a show out of what was their primary idea. The two of them just commenting on everything that happens on a daily basis. Really the chemistry between this two is fabulous.
Jerry was burnt out after the first version of that idea, plus it seems pretty unoriginal to redo Seinfeld with Larry as george
That's what curb does. Any more commentary and you have yourself a george carlin stand up routine, not a show.
They made that, it was called 'Seinfeld', it was incredibly popular.
@@Magooch86 Larry wasn't in Seinfeld, I'm surprised you never saw it. Worth a watch, it holds up
@@rockyevans1584Wow, ignorant and belligerent. You're quite a catch.
The "primary idea" for what became Seinfeld was NEVER that Jerry and Larry just comment "on everything that happens on a daily basis." If you read their interviews carefully, what they say is that Larry commented that the kind of dialogue they had together when they were just out and observing and mocking things was how the show should sound. And that kind of dialogue is all over Seinfeld, particularly in the coffee shop scenes.
His 'Acting without Acting' book was so thin that his next book should be: 'Writing without Writing'....
They should have used that in the bit.
@@ca8824 Thanks! Larry's missing out on my talents, I tells ya!
*rimshot*
@@alexespinoza6366 no, sir, the joke is a swoosh. dude has 120 upvotes, you dont have veto powers, homeboy.
“You’re really err cutting a figure these days” 😂
Straight out of Seinfeld that line!
Julia looks as amazing as she did 30 odd years ago. What a woman.
The reunion we deserved
This is Jerry and Larry operating at a comedy level that no one will ever reach. The writing, the delivery, the ad lib's... Comedy perfection.
ad lib'ses
I've never seen a whole episode of Curb, yet I know everything about Curb. One clip at a time, baby
Same here. In fact one could say we’re watching Curb without watching Curb - having said that, we both know everything about Curb.
Like... watch it
Watching without watching, I like it
The way he pulls up on jerry and larry with his black shades on lmao
I always thought Jerry's acting was forced on Seinfeld. Having said that (wait for it), I loved and still love Seinfeld.
Dharma Beach Bum he never was much of an actor at all. Acting like yourself... not really acting.
@@happydayz7857 you mean is acting without acting then....
jerry's awful acting
For comedic purposes.
Lol
This is like watching Seinfeld without watching Seinfeld
While you’re watching Jerry Seinfeld.
Having said that, it stands on its own
Having said that. I think this is a terrific title.
“Could be acting WITH acting.”
Damn I wish Jerry was on the show all the time.
He works so great in this format.
Yeah, he does. He's great just conversing with Larry.
I love the scenes with Jerry and Larry
That's b.s. expecting a tip, imho.
Melodie Frances tacky.
having said that, it would’ve been nice
Fuck tipping
It is. He asked for a favor. I understand he was working at the time and that’s probably Why he expected a tip. Mocha joe is still wrong tho
It's not like he went out if his way he was going that way and just giving something bro someone else.
Larry really laughs sometimes that’s acting without acting
I like how he said he hates people saying, "Having said that" but then used it to criticize Jason's book.
Brilliant show. Having said that, sometimes it is difficult to watch.
When Seinfeld and Larry put their brilliant minds together, this is so soul pleasing
I love Jerry and Larry interactions
these two comedic legends together is nigh undefeatable. ❤️ love it
Larry and Jerry are such kindred spirits. No wonder they made this amazing show together.
Everything after Larry said it was a pamphlet is one of the best scenes of the show
Larry and Jerry in the same scene & with Jason!!?!?! Mind. Blown.
Couldnt stop smiling.....when Jason meanders in.....!
Jason almost morphs into George at the end.
Curb Jason is always in danger of morphing into George. HST, Larry is supposed to be the real George on this show.
I’ll read it at dinner.
Well, it could be acting WITH acting. Haha Jason’s face when Jerry says this is priceless.
That "I'll read it with dinner" line gets me everytime😂😂
"I'll read it with dinner" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"I'll read it with dinner". 🤣 That look Jason Alexander gives Larry is lethal. Having said that, I think it was rude of him 😅.
I wish I could carry coffee like Mocha Joe does without spilling it all over.
You need to carry it without carrying it.
Even if he did spill it, it wouldn't burn him.
Lol, the fact that Jason has a car with tinted windows and then enters with sunglasses on
"Having said that, I think this is a terrific title" 💀
Who would’ve guessed this scene would introduce us to the main antagonist of the last season?
I love how Jerry mentions how he dosent like the line “having said that” and then uses it a couple seconds later on Jason’s book
3:49 Larry wipes his sleeve with Jason's book.
"acting with acting"
These guys are so old, having said that, they are bringing forth a new and rebor comedy style!
The Seinfeld cast working w/ Larry David - nice to see the band back together ❤
As funny as this is, it’s great to have people around you that can call out the holes in your logic. As opposed to blindly agreeing and being unconditionally nice and supportive about everything that comes out of your mouth.
It's so weird to see mocha joe acting cordially to larry after having watched his arc in later seasons.
“You’re really cuttin a figure these days.”
Don’t know what that means, but it makes me laugh.
means in good shape
Jerry's making fun of how he looks (with the sunglasses in doors). To cut a figure means to present yourself in an interesting way, usually in a good way, but Jerry's teasing here.
it's saying you're fat without saying you're fat
@@vincent21212 no its the opposite of that
He's hitting on him
1:56 Jerry is so excited he has Larry now to make fun of the book with😂😂😂
4:03 "So it could be acting WITH acting...?" Ooof...
Cheryl likes to say “okay” a lot!!
Larry right about no tip it way out control u virtually tipping to avoid hostility nowadays
It could be "Acting With Acting". That lines cracks me up every time.
Been watching this clip for a year and change of my life…
I love these short videos...having said that, they could be a little longer
Mocha Joe used to be somewhat decent to Larry.. season 10 MJ is a nasty, arrogant little man.
@CommandoVault well ...
He wasn't nice, he just wanted money
@@Mateo-et3wl unfortunately Joe missed three important points in business: 1. The customer is always right, 2. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, 3. It's the gig. You gotta hustle to make it.
Joe is a sourpuss who ignores his customers complaints, trash talks his own customer base directly to his other customers, doesn't appreciate the business people give him, and isn't willing to do what it takes to be a success in a retail business.
@@jjryan1352 You're totally right about Mocha Joe on all counts. Having said that, this is still a fictional tv show. ;)
I love the poster. How they made it such an intense pretentious pose. Makes me laugh. Then he comes in with his sunglasses. 😄💗
What I love about this scene is we get to see essentially how the seinfeld show was made at that comedy show many years ago. Its like watching Paul and Lennon write a song together
This is more like Seinfeld ft Larry David
It's almost like watching a Beatles reunion.
Everything about this is so good. I love the part about "Having said that...".
3:30 "this is nearly something" 😆
these pretzels are making me thirsty!!!!!!
Having said that, I think this is a terrific title.
If you're not gonna act... there's not much left to say...😂 I ❤ Jerry
Jason Alexander is hilarious! The look he gives the moment those guys go on about the title… funny!
