10 Funniest Curb Your Enthusiasm Episodes

9. Denise Handicapped (Season 7, Episode 5)

Larry's Blackberry antics land him in endless hot water. First up is his refusal to put surnames in his contacts list. Instead, he lists people by what he knows them for, leading to names such as Shawn Yoga, Teresa Masseuse and the titular Denise Handicapped. After landing a date with the Denise, Larry never bothers to learn her last name, knowing her only for being wheelchair bound.

In what is likely Larry's lowest ever moment, he doesn't even attempt to save a drowning child at the beach because he's not convinced there's anywhere safe to leave his Blackberry. It's a disgustingly self-absorbed display that leads to a rightly enraged Susie lobbing his precious phone into the sea.

As any seasoned viewer will come to expect, Larry's embarrassments and mishaps only get worse with a teeth-gratingly bad final confrontation closing the episode. Guest star Rosie O'Donnell has great comedic chemistry with the cast, particularly David as the 2 pals descend into an ultra-aggressive game of oneupmanship over who's more generous and who can beat the other in a fight.

Season 7 frequently depicts Larry and co. in an especially nefarious, unsympathetic light leading to plentiful dark laughs. This one might just take the cake.
