Curb Your Enthusiasm: 10 Funniest Susie Moments

1. Decapitated Doll - The Doll (Season 2, Episode 7)

"The kid is home hysterical, because her doll Judy has been decapitated."

As the breakout moment of Susie's character on the show, the brutal verbal hammering of Larry and Jeff takes the top spot on this list. Regarded as one of the greatest episodes of the series, the doll debacle personifies everything that is great about Curb.

After agreeing to trim the hair of a Judy doll at the request of a TV executive's young daughter, Larry is berated for not only making an "innocent" girl cry but also damaging a priceless antique. Concerned that his TV deal could now be in jeopardy, Larry and Jeff plot an elaborate and shameful solution to the problem, stealing the head of Sammi's replica Judy.

Irrespective of the problems this would later cause, the boys go along with the plan, only to be greeted by an incensed Susie upon their return. Marking the first time that Susie's trademark western theme music was used, the boys are speechless as Susie demands answers from the helpless duo.

Susie does not hold back, rightfully shaming the pair for their deceitful scheme. When the roasting leads to no definitive answers, Susie orders the duo to retrieve the head, before finally closing the rant with even more savage slurs. Never change, Susie.
