10 Times Larry David Went Too Far On Curb Your Enthusiasm
10. Handicapped Perks
Larry David is the ultimate opportunist - he’s been known to hire a prostitute to utilise the carpool lane, and spent what he thought were his final moments of life settling scores with loved ones. His brief dalliance with a romantic partner he knows only as Denise Handicapped, however, produced some of his best results.
Larry meets an attractive woman in a coffee shop and asks her out, immediately at least semi-regretting it when he realises she’s wheelchair bound. He can’t back out of it, though, and takes her on a date that doesn’t go too well.
Before he can cut things off, though, he realises the special treatment he gets for dating a disabled person. He cuts lines, he parks where he wants - suddenly Larry David, usually public enemy number one, is something close to a saint.
He gleefully uses the poor woman, not even bothering to learn her name, and when he loses her number, he quickly gives up the search for her to start dating a different disabled woman (who he knows as Wendy Wheelchair) so that the rewards don’t dry up.
