Larry David

Question

Fans discuss which episodes feature Larry David as a character or voice actor, identifying his roles as a street vendor, lawyer, kosher meal orderer, and Steinbrenner's voice.

24 posts

Let's see. He was the street vendor in "The Gum" who refused George's 20-dollar bill. He was Frank Costanza's lawyer in "The Chinese Woman." He was the voice of the man who ordered the kosher meal in "The Airport." He was the voice of George Steinbrenner from "The Opposite," when George was hired as the Yankees' assistant to the traveling secretary, through "The Muffin Tops," when George was traded to Tyler Chicken. I think there are a couple of others - anyone?

That's right. He co-wrote with Jerry. Many of the funny lines came out of his brain. I thought this newsgroup was into the Seinfeld show. Right? -Doug

Are you really that stupid?

Just curious.

Hey Dave, what was the name of Peterman's book that Elaine "ghost-wrote"?

Or are you really that stupid?

No, I don't see your point.

Even a non-Seinfeld fan should know who Larry David is, seeing as though he was the second highest paid entertainer of 1997. And that guy reads this newsgroup, so he's obviously seen the show before.

So yes, I stand by my statement that he is an idiot.

No? Someone asked a question and instead of answering it, you berated him. So I asked you a question I knew you couldn't answer and I berated you in advance. See it yet?

Some of us don't attach that much importance to Entertainment Industry financial news. Some people actually JUST watch the show and laugh at it and don't dig much deeper. Many "Seinfeld" fans don't have a clue who Larry David is, beyond the fact that his name pops up during the credits.

So, since he's seen the show before, you felt the need to insult him. That's nice.

As Ben Cantwell said to George in "The Old Man", "Life's too short to waste on you."

Even though "Ratboy" has plonked me, I feel the need to continue arguing.

I think if you make it to a certain age, and you're not living in a shack with a pig, you are expected to know certain things about pop culture. Knowing who Madonna is. Of course, Larry David isn't nearly as well known as her, but he is one of the co-founders of the most influential sitcom of the 1990's. For instance, I've never seen "Touched by an Angel", but I know who Roma Downey is.

Ratboy: You are an idiot. Too bad you won't get this message.

Sorry David, You are the one out of line - being rude to someone who has asked a simple question is not in any way warranted. Just because you (and most of us) know who Larry david is does not mean everyone does.

Considering your response above- who says someone is EXPECTED to know certain things. For example I know that the correct form of the pronoun to use is SHE not HER in your post

E. G. : Larry Davis is not as well known as she.

But in most cases I ignore those mistakes knowing that not everyone is as educated as me...sorry I...

You are EXPECTED to know about Pop Culture? I don't think so. Although I was truly surprised by folks on THIS list, not knowing about Larry David, I wouldn't go so far as to place Larry on the Pop Icon list. Larry himself seems to be proud of his annonymity, joyfully saying that nobody ever recognizes him in public. Whatever. This argument is boring me. Bye. -Doug

Excuse me if I'm disturbing the two of you in some sort of a private controversy, but perhaps Mr. Nusair, who's obviously running a film site, is a little more enlightened than the common man on the issue of manuscript writing and co-producing a show and feels a need to heckle new Seinfeld viewers. Has it ever occured to you that maybe the guy who asked who Larry was (Dugster) only has seen the last two seasons, in which Larry David didn't participate at all (except for "The Finale")? You can't know for sure, and therefor you shouldn't condemn him.

I'm so sorry Dugster, I was in a hurry when I wrote my comment so I just checked who wrote the first article and assumed that he was the one who didn't know who Larry David was. Right after I had finished it I discovered my mistake and I thought: "Boy, Dugster won't like this!"... Well, from now on I'll proof read my comments before I send 'em, so that this kind of misunderstanding won't occure again!

Lots of whacky viewers couldn't care less about which entertainers are paid the most. It's hard to imagine, but true. Ha. -Doug

What was he getting paid so much for in 1997? Didn't he leave the show in 1996?

I think it was his share of the show after the complete run was sold to syndication. He and Jerry were the co-creators and producers and the whole deal went for millions and millions. I obviously welcome any corrections to the above statements.

Jeez, SWM, what are you, some kind of totally brain dead microcephalic retard??? How could you ask such a simple question and expect to get a serious answer?? Begone from my sight until you wise up and learn a little bit about the world around you.

Damn, why do I waste my typing skills on these fools??

Sorry. Must have been channeling the more negative spirits in this newsgroup.

Where was I?  Right.  Last month, when "Seinfeld" was sold, in it's
entirety, into syndication (Ted Turner bought it, BTW), Larry David's
chunk of the profit came so several hundred million dollars.  This
bumped him up to the 2nd highest paid entertainment industry person (I
can't really call him an entertainer) for the year.
