Curb Your Enthusiasm

HBO improvisational comedy series

Curb Your Enthusiasm is an American comedy television series (2000–2024) starring Larry David as a fictionalized version of himself.

The show follows David navigating social situations in Los Angeles, where his bluntness and fixation on minor grievances create escalating conflicts.

The title captures the show's premise: David's refusal to curb his enthusiasm for pointing out hypocrisy and social absurdity.

That was such a Curb Your Enthusiasm moment.
