- dreamcompiler 3y agoJerry's not much of an actor and that's why he's the straight man. IIRC he has said he chose this role on purpose.
- hifromLA 3y agoThat’s a fair point. I can accept that he does a good job in that role.
- spaceman_2020 3y agoLarry David is a little too neurotic to be mainstream. Curb is hilarious but it’s a little too abrasive to hit 70M viewers. Larry David needs a Seinfeld to rein him in. Sometimes, genius needs moderation. Always felt Seinfeld was that moderating influence.

I otoh thrive on that. It also helps that I seriously feel that Larry is actually acting totally reasonable, though clumsy. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Fremdscham https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Fremdscham
- spaceman_2020 3y agoWhat a fantastic word - thanks for sharing. The Germans really have some great words for complex ideas.
