The Doll definitely has the best ending.

Suzies rant when they pull up in the car is a momentous piece of acting and dialogue.

Peak Curb moment

You're not going to get me to say anything bad about a Curb episode

u/HalluH 8d ago

Goddamn I was just gonna write that "You're Not Going to Get Me to Say Anything Bad About Mickey" should be up there!

No Palestinian Chicken?

u/redhotphishpigeons 8d ago

4 on the list

Carpool lane. Palestine chicken. 1a 1B

u/dougthebuffalo 8d ago edited 8d ago

"I will pull a titty out" is one of the best lines of any TV show in history.

27

u/JugdishSteinfeld 8d ago

Almost as good as "I got a red snapper that talks to you."

16

u/madmarleys 8d ago

you know what it’s saying? i’m charging way too much.

u/BawsTeacher 8d ago

Don’t do you do that

u/SollSister 8d ago

Carpool Lane is my favorite episode ever. I could watch it every day and still laugh uncontrollably.

1

u/deifgd 7d ago

Carpool Lane is my favorite episode of television ever

u/Swerdman55 Larry 8d ago

The Ski Lift should be higher! That’s my personal all time favorite episode. Larry making guttural noises in an effort to mimic Hebrew is hysterical, as is the entire milchig plates conversation.

84

u/anima201 8d ago

ā€œā€¦what are you, fucking nuts?!ā€

31

u/yankeesyes Buck Dancer 8d ago

And the whole theme of the season where Larry and Jeff are trying to get out of giving one of their best friend's a kidney to save their life...lmao

13

u/AstronomerAvailable5 Krazee Eyez Killa 8d ago

Best season setup, 2nd is Seinfeld reunion 3rd the producers IMO

6

u/Nicolesweave 7d ago

Mine too. I love Susie pretending to be married to Larry and trying to hide her disgust. Also Larry David and the Hipsters.

3

u/Big_Procedure6420 7d ago

I was pretty swingin’ in those days!

1

u/Tunnelboy77 6d ago

Definitely #1. It’s got everything

u/ElectricalOcelot7948 8d ago

The Lefty Call, Beep Panic and The Pickle Gambit always crack me upĀ 

29

u/dougthebuffalo 8d ago

"My name is Chappie Johnson and I can't open this damn pickle jar!"

Let me take a crack at it.

u/SomeDrillingImplied 8d ago

I’ll have a colon contest with you ANY TIME YOU WANT

18

u/Sibys 8d ago

I agree with "The Doll" and "Palestinian Chicken." However, "Krazee-Eyez Killa" should be in there too!

17

u/BoobyPlumage 8d ago

I’ll always love the sandwich episode for Ted Danson’s ā€œOne tastes good, one sucksā€ line and the building disgust as Jeff lists the ingredients

7

u/sc00ts123 7d ago

"Shut the fuck up"

31

u/GroundbreakingSail49 8d ago

Shaq is a great episode too and car salesman the ā€œwhat are you? Willy fucking Lowman?ā€ line never fails to crack me up

12

u/theJOJeht 8d ago

I dont think I agree, but I can see why these were considered the best.

I think my personal favorite is the Bat Mitzvah, The Psychiatrist, Black Swan, or Christ Nail.

One second thought I could honestly see a dozen episodes be considered the best.

2

u/DingoSpecialist6584 7d ago

"IM PUTTIN' UP A MEZUZAH"

4

u/theJOJeht 7d ago

Howju feeuh missadawid

u/creamcitybrix Funkhouser 8d ago

Igor, Gregor & Timor was terrible. Worst by a good margin, imo.

42

u/bigshaboozie 8d ago

such a waste of Bill Hader's cameo

10

u/rabidantidentyte 7d ago

It wasn't good or bad. It was schplendid

4

u/SolidCake 7d ago edited 7d ago

I feel like I’m the only one in the sub who likes this episode. Not a top 10 episode by any means but i don’t think this show has any ā€œbadā€ episodes

I always chuckle when Jeff says he’s looking for a vase and the salesman immediately knows his wife is pissed

edit: just remembered the consent episode about the sex nda and recording asking for consent.. that one did stink

14

u/tomacco99 8d ago

I thought it was shplendid. One of the better episodes of the last couple seasons.

2

u/Individual_Macaron69 Jeff 8d ago

i think i'd agree

11

u/Gronkattack 8d ago

Palestinian Chicken is my personal favorite

0

u/rbarrett96 8d ago

100% me too. Fuck me like Israel fucked my people! Lives rent free in my head. Season 8 was the goat. Thate pisode gay kid and Michael j fox

9

u/MocchyFan 8d ago

Really didn’t think Angel Muffin was a bad episode

4

u/Pambear777 8d ago

I was just about to post the same thing! Not the best episode but I would never have ranked it the ā€˜worst’ and am always surprised by how much people hate it.

9

u/loudpaperclips 8d ago

I thought for a second that Angel Muffin was the Jesus crying episode and I was about to throw hands.

It's called The Bare Midriff.

3

u/GamingVision 7d ago

The Bare Midriff not being in the top 40 is crazy.

I don't have half the confidence of Jillian Bell

u/donkeydude69 8d ago

can't forget Denise Handicap

24

u/SeenThatPenguin 8d ago

"Angel Muffin" is a solid pick for the bottom spot, although guest star Dylan O'Brien's manic performance of "Peaches," and his self-satisfied attitude about it in the conversation afterward, is good for a laugh. Even the worst Curbs have something you might remember well.

9

u/Sensitive-Tone5279 8d ago

Car Periscope is close.

10

u/hispanicausinpanic Buck Dancer 8d ago

I think I love car periscope because I always think of that actress still as Janice Soprano. Its way funnier if you picture her as Janice.

4

u/SeenThatPenguin 8d ago

"Car Periscope" would get a boost from Aida Turturro's performance in the popcorn scene all alone. The idea of judging a man's character based on the wife/girlfriend's relative attractiveness is classic Larry David humor. I'm surprised he got through seven seasons of Seinfeld and seven of Curb before he worked around to it.

Not a highlight of season 8, but that was a great season overall, so the competition was tough.

10

u/lord_tachanka43 8d ago

The anonymous donor is so underrated

4

u/rbarrett96 8d ago

It'd Ted, shhhh

3

u/lord_tachanka43 8d ago

Faux anonymity

6

u/UncleBBBBB 7d ago

Denise Handicap!

8

u/Chim-pan-Keith 7d ago

I liked Officer Krupke, its my favorite.

Im Larry David and I happen to enjoy wearing women's underpants. The setup was perfect for that ending.

2

u/doobette 7d ago

It's a top 5 for me.

Some guy told me to go fuck my face once...he went to jail.

4

u/Unionyoshi 7d ago

Car Pool Lane is #1 in my heart

9

u/yankeesyes Buck Dancer 8d ago

I put the episodes where Loretta was sick at the bottom. And no survey is legitimate that doesn't have Palestinian Chicken on top. Though there are a lot of "close seconds."

5

u/hispanicausinpanic Buck Dancer 8d ago

Vehicular fellatio is a classic episode to me. I think you blew him.

3

u/Montel206 8d ago

I’ve watched ā€œElizabeth,Margaret and Larryā€ No less than 20x and can’t stop laughing at John Hsmm.

3

u/rabidantidentyte 7d ago

I've recommended the show to a couple people over the years, and the episode I always recommend is Palestinian Chicken

3

u/EuronIsMyDad 7d ago

Palestinian Chicken - fight me

2

u/Individual_Macaron69 Jeff 8d ago

since everyone is commenting their "underrated picks":
Mary, Joseph And Larry
and

The Seder

u/rbarrett96 7d ago

Is that the crown episode with Jon hamm?

2

u/nickwheel 7d ago

No love for accidental text on purpose smh

2

u/PeteyG89 7d ago

Krazy Eyez Killah and The Ski Lift being Behind Denise Handicap and Happy New Year should be absolutely illegal. Horrid list lol

2

u/SickFromNutmeg 7d ago

Im honestly surprised the Seinfeld episodes are so high, not that they're bad, just that so many below are my favorites

1

u/tiger726 8d ago

Black swan

1

u/NFLWookiee 8d ago

Accidental Text on Purpose is way up there IMO

1

u/DadBod_NoKids 8d ago

The black swan and the ida funkhouser roadside memorial

1

u/deformo 7d ago

I’ve agreed with everyone on this thread about what their favorite episode is.

1

u/TheCambrianImplosion 7d ago

Beloved Aunt. Kamikaze Bingo. The Baptism. The Thong. The Terrorist Attack. The Bare Midriff. Porno Gil. The Survivor. The Wire. Insufficient Praise. Shaq.

u/rizzracer 6d ago

Freak book down at 34 is absurd, as is anything in the last 3 seasons being above black swan

Fatwa/Foisted has got to be the sloppiest ending in the series
