Am I the only one in America who found this segment on the TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm offensive? EXPAT can bring the clips to you directly, but I am too lazy, I just give you a link to them!

Offensive Young Actor

This kid tries to act "gay" by doing a poor job of being effeminate. The perpetuation of this stereotype is supposed to be funny.

American comedies are almost always gay offensive. Shit, every single episode of friends had some stupid gay joke in it.

I have never been a fan of that show. I didn't like Seinfeld either. But I did laugh when I saw this originally. I know they are hyping up stereotypes. But I understand your point.

Thank god I'm not the only person in the world who didn't like/understand Seinfeld.

I thought it was just boring people doing shitty things for 22 minutes a week and could not figure out why anyone would want to watch it!

I guess I must have a thick skin, I thought the Curb episode was hilarious. I am also a huge Seinfeld fan, I must have seen every episode at least 2 or 3 times. One of the best comedy shows ever! Loved the episode were the girl thought that Jerry and George were gay lovers. Also the scene were Jerry is in a restaurant with a gay guy and another guy comes over and asks the gay guy out, Jerry is upset that the person just assumed that Jerry and the gay guy were not a couple. Hilarious!!

CTGuy, I have no problem with you seeing this differently than I do, but what is so funny then? The boy has to act effeminate so he will be taken as gay- that's a stereotype, why do some think it is funny to perpetuate that? Why do we find effeminate gay men funny in the first place- at least funny enough to laugh at them?

Beyond that, the kid did not do a very good job!

Me too. The scene did not bother me but I was thinking to myself, "is that me as a child?"

I also loved Seinfeld. Best show ever (comedy after Boston Legal).

I do not recall ever watching the Larry David show. I went to the link you posted and was not offended nor did I find it laugh out loud funny either. At best it was slightly amusing and at least a bad bit with terrible acting all around. The latter is probably why I have zero interest in this program.

I thought it was funny. Then again, I laugh out loud at the things that Ari Gold says to Lloyd on Entourage.

Boston Legal was awesome - but that goes without saying, because James Spader has never in his life not done something that was completely full of awesome.
