- The Muslim man who originally wanted to kill Larry looks into his past to see if he's not as bad as presumed.
Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season 9 Episode 8.
This is honestly my favorite piece of television of all time. Years and years of Larry being vilified only to be vindicated by the Fatwa investigator is genius writing.
Fatwa?
@@josephscarborough8888 What? What do you know about _fatwa_ or Islam or Muslims for that matter? You think it is all about Ayatullah issuing a fatwa three decades ago?
My brother, inform rather than berate.
@@waryaawariiri1812 for fucks sake, No. I gave the barebones, technical meaning of what a fatwa is. If you mean I'm technically incorrect, then by all means, explain what it is.
You should have simply googled before speaking out of your behind of what you have no knowledge of. Here is the very first sentence of the google result:
*Fatwa, in Islam, a formal ruling or interpretation on a point of Islamic law given by a qualified legal scholar (known as a mufti). Fatwas are usually issued in response to questions from individuals or Islamic courts.*
“So he refused to follow the laws of Jewish orthodox?”
“Yes”
Big smile “I see”
@Al Saqib Majumder kamon achhen?
I don’t like Jewish people
yu - vi everyone thinks they are superior. I'm superior to you in class, standing, and ideology. Fucking mutt
@@codiefitz3876 ok but keep it on the inside doe
@@nilocdg9752 Thank you for that comment
I love how the investigator sees everything Larry’s way
nickys34 pretty sure it’s about being misunderstood and how peoples perspectives and emotional involvement in a situation cloud their judgement and an impartial party would usually see things the way they are.. Larry doesn’t give into societies preconceived notions of what is proper etiquette in social situations but he is usually in the right because societies norms usually contain at least some bullsht and people just do not question it. It comes down to comfort most people aren’t going against society and what’s considered normal because it’s uncomfortable to do so.but this guy doesn’t have the preconceived corrupt American value system to alter his judgement on sed social situations. So when he sees Larry was usually a victim of misunderstandings and societies need to fit everyone into a box that he won’t fit into. It makes people uncomfortable to question things most people accept as normal. The one who questions these norms will usually catch the brunt of societies backlash.
*Claps slowly*
@@infinitelybetterthannothin1077 I agree mostly, sometimes Larry is in the wrong and watching it backfire is hilarious.
nickys34 No. jesus is the antichrist. Dummy.
@@anydaynow im sure you are trolling hoping the guy gets offended but you probably don't even know that Muslims Jesus was a good man of God, just not the son of God.
"So he went out with 2 different woman with disabilities? "
"At least!"
"Commendable"
LOL
TheSacko lol
Wendy wheel chair and Debbie disabled ...
He doesn't say "Commendable", he says "Come on Baba"
@@ABARTSPRODUCTIONS Lol you're deaf? He says "commendable". I'm Persian as well and I can perfectly understand what he says with his accent
Commendable= deserving praise, legit he says it bro haha
Finally on the other side of the spectrum, Larry's wrongdoings look noble as they should.
Daniel - Broseidon Incarnate 🥱
VINDICATION!!!
@liam Anderson because hes helping larry get rid of his fatwa
@liam Anderson I mean it is important to the show, you can hear the maqamat in the background.
I agree with everything Larry did except for stopping Sammy from singing. That was truly mean
This actor totally nailed this scene. What a gorgeous voice.
He could make a career out of that persona like Philip Baker Hall does as a hard boiled detective.
Love this guy. Clicked half for the title half for him
I feel like it was his destiny to be an Iranian James Bond.
@@ValensBellator I remember thinking this guy looks like an Iranian Timothy Dalton when I watched this episode.
Watch legion and u will truly see how great he is
This actors demeanor , voice and looks gives this episode so much more . One of my favs
jays0909 the accent is so damn cool
He's of Iranian descent. His name is Navid Negahban and he played the shadow king's role...
He feels like someone straight out of Seinfeld, and I don't mean that as an insult.
Yeah, Iranian accent is awesome. Great for acting. he could easily play the role of a secret agent or a street vendor selling roasted peanuts in New York City.
He's great in Legion
That guy is just so dang suave lol
He could be a Persian James Bond.
@a a Well, Sean Connery is bald. And he wore a wig in every Bond movie.
James Bond never took notes.
Green Mills yeah. Sean connery actually started balding very early, especially for the time period in which he was born. He started balding before or around the age of 20.
@@WarlordMoA didn't he take notes in skyfall?
@@tzeege Not in the early ones.
His glee when he finds out Larry refused to follow the tenets of Jewish orthodoxy... Brilliant.
☺️
Took me until just now to get that idk why. I thought he was smiling because he finally got one piece of evidence against Larry rather than admiring him for doing it lmao
Yes really highlights the raging antisemitism of Muslims
@@highviewbarbell you re not alone 😅
As an Iranian, it's so nice to see one of us portrayed so well. And on curb of all places 😂.
I had an Iranian girlfriend. Hot!
I love that the Japanese guy is so clearly disappointed in his father for failing his Kamikaze mission. 😆
Which ironically, mean he wouldn't have been born anyway if his dad had succeeded 😉
He is worn out from having to explain how his father is alive, over and over his whole life.
xen0g3n well, he could have been born before the kamikaze run
He tried to commit suicide.
@@rG1vZ born before 1945? I don't think so lol
Love how Michael Fox has such a pained expression on his face when he finally admits to shaking the can on purpose, as though he has been hiding this dark secret for many years and can find release when he can admit the truth to someone. Great acting by MF.
And then immediately tried to get the investigator with the same trick lol
@@Courtesyflush52”some refreshment” hahaha
This is like the end of seinfeld when all the people they made fun of condemned them in court. Except larry wins here
copy paste concept
My thoughts precisely!
They did "The Opposite" lol
….Except, this was actually funny.
Bingo
"Did you clomp on purpose?"
"Lil bit"
"And did you embellish the shaking of the soda?"
"Yeah."
May I offer you.. some refreshment?
You insulted him lil bit.....lil bit you did
@@Pat4ever. No, I'll pa- "PUSSY!" I wish it went like that lmao
@@Dreamformeable Goodfellas reference?
I love that Michael J Fox is apparently a serial can shaker
Well... I mean... it's sorta implied even without this information 😅
@@SuperMrHiggins *it's soda implied
I mean he has parkinson’s so you figure😊
Yeah like he literally just admitted his guilt but he has the urge to do it again immediately after
"so he refused to follow the tenets of Jewish orthodoxy?"
"oh absolutely"
him: :D
The investigator is truth serum personified, he's so calm and authoritative, they all just admit what Larry accused them of. Brilliant acting all around.
The soulful exhale at 2:42 after Fox admits to shaking the soda, years after the release of the episode in question. It's like we as the audience are finally taking a breath of relief after holding in frustration on Larry's behalf for so long. The perfect touch after a string of satisfying confessions regarding times Larry was previously wronged.
If I were Michael J Fox in this scene, I would have had a very hard time making it through without bursting into laughs!
Kidney: "... I miss him."
May I offer you.. some refreshment?
I died
"Then Larry was right." Favourite scene.
It's honestly damn impressive to make a character this distinct and memorable in under 3 minutes.
Up there with the library cop from Seinfeld
He has other scenes
@@basehead617 Most people don't watch the show just the clips off yt same with Sopranos.
Most of these characters are all memorable and appeared in only 1 ep. That's the genius of both Seinfeld and Curb, where you got roles like The Soup Nazi or Greg The Famboyant Kid that you'd see a few minutes but you'll never forget
“May I offer you some refreshment?…”
The Michael J Fox interrogation makes me cry every single damn time 😂😂😂
I love how Krazee Eyez Killa still respects Larry after all these years, and is the only one not complaining about him.
"He is my Caucasian". I'mma use that line now.
What does that mean? Lol
@@zakaa3068 it's like saying " he is my nigga" but reversed. Get it?
write that shit down 😂
It's what Larry said to him when they met, in response to 'you're my n*gga' but as a reversal. Crazy Eyes was confused at the time but I'm glad to see he remembered!
Been using it for years now lol
Best scene of the entire season.
Zachary I agree, favorite scene so far. "The Big Vagina, yes it's big"
Somehow I liked this but not the Seinfeld finale
The whole fatwa shit was Brilliant
@@biensur I thought this scene was a brilliant inversion of the Seinfeld finale.
Hands Down!
"I'm confused, how can your father be a kamikaze pilot if he's still alive"
😂🤣😂🤣
This is just the best. This sequence rewards loyal followers of the show and actually gave a definitive answer to a previously vague situation with Michael J Fox. So great!
This is literally the best pay off in any movie/TV show ever. Incredible writing
Should've interviewed the people at the Palestinian chicken place.
You mean Abbas?...or whatever?
Raymond Frye al abbas
@@Relco12 Does this place, Al Abbas, really exist?
Israeli-Arab***
@@DOPEdwarf That's what they are. Israeli-Arabs
This is so classic for this show! Michael j fox was doing it on purpose lol
Ben Castonia Head shake? Parkinsons. Shoosh? Parkinsons. Soda? Parkinsons. Clumping? Parkinsons xD
Nate Drake -I always thought Fox was a prick, and tried to fuck up LD
@Justin Time it's so great they kick him out of New York and he's a true blooded native and MJF is Canadian!
It's nice how Michael and Larry came together to laugh through Parkinson's. Comedy certainly is a gift!
This guy is so good for this role. The casting director for Curb should get an award every season.
"May I offer you, some refreshment?"
"And did you embellish...the shaking of the soda?"
"Yeah."
. "Thank you."
The look he gives when he found out Larry wouldn’t jump is truly amazing acting!
We all need a Muslim investigator to prove us right in this world.
pretty much all populations are right about the jews now that I think about it....
@d b every truth is but a half truth
@d b that's not what that saying means.. 🤭
"So he just gave you his cannabis product free of charge? Truly generous."
Yo got to love how a joke immediately becomes an argument in the UA-cam comments
The guy looks so sophisticated. He is better dressed than almost anyone on the show. His eyes scream intrigue and experience. How did they get such good CASTING! every character is SO WELL CASTED!!!!
He's very handsome. And that voice
he's so handsome my god what a man
“That motherf*cker is my Caucasian.”
“Caucasian?”
“ Yieeah... and, a motherf*cker.”
0:15 the "Hell Naah" was so perfectly executed.
I feel like this is the payoff for everything Larry has been through the entire series. Absolutely genius. 🤣
I love how everyone he questions answers truthfully 😂
Love this actor. He's like the middle eastern Jean Reno
YES!!!!
didn’t Larry sticc up for this guy while he was trynna go for seconds ? some potatoes ?? lmao
yeah thats why he wants to recruit LD to islam causing this scene
@@thejetttrek cool beans
@@thejetttrek And they cancelled the Fatwah because of it.
I like how he not only sees everything larry's way but he is also balding lol nice touch
Sir.. It would be an honor to serve you!
Michael J Fox is easily my favorite cameo. The fact he's cool enough to do a whole episode and plotline around his Parkinsons is god tier.
And to return for this scene ❤
2:03 Hahahahahahaha the smile on his face is priceless
That was my favorite part. Just really good acting right there.
Absolutely hilarious.
Yeah K -so funny
Been saying it for years, the world sees Larry insane, but he's the most sane person in the room at any given time lol
The world of curb your enthusiasm sees him insane I think everyone on the outside sides with larry.
As a lifelong Curb fan, this is one of the most edifying scenes ever.
Michael J Fox is a national treasure.
I thought Nicholas Cage was.
he's basically a shaky Keanu Reeves
...of Canada
International!
@@Kerrigordead ah the bees not the bees
I wish I could say “commendable” is such a tone 😂
The mark of respect in the eyes of the investigator is genuine.
i love the look on his face when he’s told Larry refused to jump off the ski lift
For the first time ever, someone interprets all of Larry's actions in his favor
I love how they all crumble, and partially give reason to Larry 😂
The investigator being so skilled that he deduced that the woman with the wide V stole the baseball and that MJF was indeed clomping is hilarious
For some reason when he says “commendable” stays with me 😂
"saved me from a marriage with a lesbian" I love how there is followup to that based on wanda hahahah
May I offer you some refreshment? He's a serial shaker LOL!
i'll pass...😊
Us Curb fans waited 6 years for this season and to say it was worth the wait is an understatement.
Larry David is his own league when it comes to quality
Larry has such an eye for talent, these actors are amazing.
The Kamikaze thing will never not be funny to me. That’s a good joke whoever thought of it.
I'd watch a show of this guy going around and asking questions, he's comforting
If this guy is paid by the hour he'd make a fortune by the time he worked through all of Larry's pissed off acquaintances
"But wasn't the real issue the, uuuh, size of your openings?"
Enter Mayor I need to find a broad with that capital V
.@Nunnha B Ahh...
Alternate-cut, eh? 😏
Hahaha enough to steal an "autographed" baseball bat!!
" He is my caucasian, write that shit down". Hahaha 😂😂😂
Hahahhahahahhahahhah
There is something amazing about a Muslim man understanding the ways of a Jew, and finding peace in that.
Am I the only one who thinks this investigator is handsome af?
watch legion he's great in that
he is GORGEOUS.
He’s such a handsome man I’m glad someone else noticed
And so Dignified
Abu Nazir 😑
I love how he sees everything Larry’s way, and how he gets excited about Larry refusing to follow the laws of the Jewish Orthodox faith 🤣
Awesome scene. I love when shows reference previous seasons. And its funny how a lot of the scenes, Larry was wrong, but he looked good to the Muslim.
Zodi77 yeah this guy loved that he didn't follow Jewish law lol
Zodi77 the genius is that sometimes he wasn’t wrong . Like mjf doing shit on purpose . The rapper, the ski lift scene . Larry wasn’t wrong
Ben Castonia The face he makes after he discovers it is priceless
It's funny how Larry wasn't wrong and finally someone else saw it. Where was Larry wrong?
Especially the ski lift thing! It wasn't Larry's fault the lift broke so why would he have to abide by someone else's law? That's the equivalent of a Muslim telling me I can't eat during their Ramadan? That would be absurd even to a Muslim.
2:19 ominous Arab music intensifies*
sound a little bit like central anatolian but anyway. That thrilling psychedelic ambiance is generally used around there.
@@hannibalburgers477 most people will not know this (me included) so thanks, got any notable examples?
Redbad of Frisia ua-cam.com/video/HX1MlRl6lZg/v-deo.html
Everyone: Larry is wrong
Muslim guy walks in
Everyone: why do I hear boss music
This is pedantic of me, but it's actually not ominous, this kind of music is used in sad scenes. I think this one is used in egyptian soap operas
"Muslim investigator"LMAO
I love Larry
I see the Shadow King chose a new career path after the Legion series ended.
Shut up loser
@@thechovanone Shut up, loser.
Shut up loser (idk what we’re doing I just wanna feel included)
Dude i was so happy to see this comment hahahha
seeing these characters back even just for a minute or two sure bring nostalgic value,im surprise larry able to convince them to come again
Money will do anything
He's Larry David.
That smile after the ski lift interview,just kills me.
This is such a brilliant idea. They did a great job. The actor was on point. Sad the series is coming to an end. Larry David is the man- he’s had such a huge impact on everything that goes into a good show. Always revisit Curb Your Enthusiasm. So relatable.
May I offer you some refreshment?
"No, thank you. I pass."
"Pussy."
I don't even get that. A can won't behave the same way as a bottle. If you shake the can it will only overflow a lil bit. You might get your hands wet, that's all. You can tap the can on the side to get rid of that.
@@mclera8566 According to ~some~ sciencists, the tapping thing doesn't work that way edition.cnn.com/2019/12/12/world/beer-can-tapping-frothing-intl-scli-scn/index.html but obviously there is much more research to be done on that topic
Can you explain to me, please, the joke about " May I offer you some refreshment? "....:) ?
@@Isleofskye I MJF had offered a refreshment to Larry in the past and due to MJF's condition it exploded all over the place and MJF thinks the guy is saying no to the refreshment bc he is afraid the same thing will happen
What I love about this is that it shows you can look at things so differently based on your perspective
Perspective is not everything nor should it ever be. It's important to remember that there is _a lot_ of black and white out there in the world. On most of these occasions, Larry was in the right and the other party was in the wrong.
Wendy Wheelchair!!
Where was Denise Handicap
"... Commendable" Hahahaha, the genuine admiration kills me.
Whomever played the girl on the ski-lift episode was incredible - she was so funny 😂 🤣🤣
this scene could literally go for hours and hours, the irony is after all he was given justice by a Muslim invistegator, no wonder why I can relate to almost everything larry does 🤣🤣
“HELL NAW! He could’ve had ALLL THIS!” LMAO
I got a red snapper that talks to ya!
MJF admitting he shook that coke was cathartic for me lol. Hysterical
When he was interviewing the Jew and finds out Larry didn’t follow the tenants of the religion lol
I love how there's an episode devoted to showing that Larry was always right
What a dream role - to do scenes with all these legendary side characters.
The shaking soda can from Micheal J. Fox
*FUCKING DEAD*
Honestly, one of the funniest scenes on this show.
I love that Michael J Fox offering someone a soda is now basically him threatening them lmao
This is like in Seinfeld with all the characters coming back for th trial, except it's the opposite cause it all reflects well on Larry.
"May I offer you?, some refreshment?"......🤣🤣🤣
"So he refused to follow the tenets of Jewish orthodoxy?"
"Oh yeah. Big time."
😀📒🖋
Navid Negahban nailed this role! 😂😂😂😂
I literally just noticed that the rapper is the silicon valley guy
This was supposed to be the Curb series finale, hence all the past cameos from even season 1. But LD changed his mind and wanted to continue and now Curb has surpassed Seinfeld in longevity and popularity
Not popularity though right? Wasn't Seinfeld the top show for audience figures some years? And Curb is on HBO that not everyone has? I'm not American so don't fully understand the TV landscape there, but curious about how they compare.
crazy eye killa
Write that shit down.
Asaf Barber u my Caucasian.
krazy eyez killah
this is like a Curb version of the Seinfeld ending. Only here Larry is exonerated.
2:46 - It is clear that Michael J. Fox doesn't respect wood...
michael j fox handing out sodas is pretty funny
Who didn't know Fox was doing it on purpose? Of course he was.
"Mr. Fox did you embelish the shaking of the soda?" Hhahahaha
1:50
I love how they designed that set to look as jewish as possible.
Shalom wall plate. Blue and white kitchenware and cups, cooking with gefeltifish, matzo ball soup...etc.
hahaha
