Curb Your Enthusiasm: How Larry Changed From Season 1 (& How He’s The Same)

Larry has changed in a handful of ways since season 1 of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

It’s impressive that 20 years in to Curb Your Enthusiasm, one of the best shows of the 2000s, it is free of stretch marks and feels as fresh and new as it did in season one, but when a show lasts for that long, there’s bound to be some changes in characters as they grow, and that’s no different with Larry David.

Though fans wouldn’t say Larry has “grown” per se, he’s definitely changed. Whether it’s that his worst aspects from the show’s inception have been exaggerated or that new characteristics have come to fruition, Larry David has become a much more volatile and vulgar human being than how he started out.

10 Changed: More Combative

From season one, Larry was never particularly afraid to get into a screaming match if the situation called for it, but in the later seasons, the Seinfeld creator would jump straight into a fight without thinking it through beforehand. Not only that, but Larry is generally the one who starts the fights. In the latest season, he (accidentally) pushes over a pregnant lady, then screams at her before yelling “Happy New Year” and running away.

9 Stayed The Same: Never In A Rush

Though there’s no reason for anybody with $400 million in the bank to be in any rush, Larry’s sense of time only affects other people. Larry has worked on his own time, most notably when he was jobless and laying around watching daytime reality TV, and that hasn’t changed one bit. The only time he rushes is for his own personal and selfish gain, such as when he turns up 30 minutes early to get the good seat at a table or picks up a prostitute so he can drive in the cat pool lane to get to a baseball game on time.

8 Changed: Has A Shorter Fuse

As Curb Your Enthusiasm is 20 years old at this point, Larry David has turned from a grumpy old man to a grumpier old man. Where in the early years Larry was more passive-aggressive and just vented to Cheryl about his frustrations, Larry now actively seeks what he despises just to destroy it.

In season 10, Larry smashes a tourist’s selfie stick and pushes over a line of electric scooters, and that’s all in the opening scene of the first episode, showing hilariously out of touch and bitter the character has gotten.

7 Stayed The Same: Easily Distracted

Many of the episodes of Curb are tangents that Larry goes down instead of doing what he should be doing. And this has been the most constant characteristic of Larry ever since season one. Larry inadvertently caused a whole fight with Cheryl in season one because he couldn’t look away from the TV to greet her and help her with her bags, and in season two, instead of working on a new project, he decides to try and sell cars for a couple of days just for fun.

6 Changed: More Confident Approaching Women

After Cheryl left, which was one of Larry’s lowest moments, he had no other choice but to get back on the horse, and as he has spent years talking about how bad he is at talking to women, he seemed to have overcome that fear significantly.

It started in season six when he courted Loretta Black, and he has since had the guts to ask out Elizabeth Banks, and even the receptionist who works at the law firm Larry keeps visiting after being accused of sexual assault. And that was after they got in to an argument about validating parking.

5 Stayed The Same: Socially Inept

Larry has never been a people person, and though it might seem extreme when he wore a MAGA hat in season 10 just so that people wouldn’t bother him, he has done much worse in the past seemingly without understanding that he’s done anything wrong.

In what is one of the dumbest things Larry ever did, he stole flowers when visiting the memorial of one of his best friend’s family members. And in season eight, he went on a three month trip to New York just to avoid a charity event.

4 Changed: Calculating

In the first season, Larry was never out for blood, as many of the episodes followed him walking around twiddling his thumbs and complaining. But with each season, Larry complained less and acted more.

The whole arc of the last season was Larry’s plan to open a better coffee shop than Mocha Joe’s with the intention of putting it out of business, and that was just because he didn’t enjoy the drinks at Joe’s. Though it didn’t work out for Larry, it ended with one of the show’s best plot twists.

3 Stayed The Same: Rich As Hell

Larry David is extremely wealthy, to say the least, and his character on the show is no different. The character has donated thousands of dollars to charity, not for the cause but for the notoriety, has opened up a coffee shop out of spite, and leisurely walks around shopping in the most expensive areas of Los Angeles. And as he is in a different house almost every other season, he seemingly invests in a lot of property.

2 Changed: Got Street Smart

Larry David made the greatest decision of the show’s production to cast JB Smoove in season six, as it pumped fresh life into Curb before it had the chance to get stale. After inadvertently becoming Larry’s housemate, Leon, played by Smoove, teaches Larry slang words, how to fight Nazis and many other life lessons. Larry often literally copies what Leon says verbatim, and whether it’s in jest or literally trying to imitate him, Leon influences him nonetheless.

1 Stayed The Same: Stubborn

Larry continues to be a burden on his friends, and he has been since the beginning of the show. He sacrificed a project with Jason Alexander just because they had an argument about who should go to who’s office for a meeting in season two, and he caused friction between himself and Ben Stiller (who is one of the guests we want to see return) after refusing to sit in the passenger seat of his car in season four.

But being stubborn worked in his favor in the third season, as he wouldn’t budge on any of his nonsensical ideas when opening a restaurant with Ted Dansen, Such as the waiters’ uniforms and a bell at every table. “The Grand Opening” turned out to be a huge success and one of the show’s best finales according to IMDB.
