I'm from Hickville, Pennsylvania so I legitimately don't know.

I was bluff-joking...
It's a stereotype i have observed in some TV-shows, but since I'm from Germany I can't tell you.

A bit of a mixed bag this season, though I still welcome Curb's return... my main question is what is going on with Richard Lewis' spine???
"Is this me?"

I had the same thought during yesterday's episode.  Someone get that guy a cane!

btw is the show becoming more like Seinfeld?

I feel like all the episodes follow a formula: Begin with immediate conflict, Larry overreacts, people get mad and yell, the same incident happens several time in different locations with different people, people yell, then something clever happens at the very end. It's really weak.

I agree with everything but your final judgment. Even though it is formulaic at this point and the bones are showing, I can still laugh about Larry being an a-hole.

I haven't seen any episodes more recent than Season 6, but what I used to think was funniest about the show was: Larry is an asshole and he does deserve retribution, but the retribution he gets would often be comically out of proportion to his actual assholic offense.

Funniest season in years.  Can't wait until the NYC stuff, where I assume they'll be meeting up with Gervais.  Clash of the Ill-Mannered Titans!

I have to say that you are much more complex in your comedic sensibility than I am. When Larry tells someone off, my neurons begin firing and I often have to pause the player, because I can't believe he just said THAT.
