(8,333 posts)I don't watch curb so I don't know if that's part of his character's persona. I heard a lot of David's character was in the first video so I didn't get those nuances--but I still thought it was funny.

(23,550 posts)Lots of the supporting characters from Curb were in the sketch, too. They yell at him a lot and he has bad luck and compounds his bad luck with himself being an ahole then something clever happens in the end that ties a few things together and you cringe and laugh more when you watch it.

(3,001 posts)Or maybe the part about the rich dad was funnier? By the way, my dad was a cook and my mom a postal worker, and yes, I'm voting for Hillary
As far as SNL goes, this is the current gold standard

Have you ever seen the "Italian Cork Soakers" clip with Janet Jackson? If not, find it!

(3,001 posts)The pressure to do so here is considerable: here is a case in point.
A little criticism never hurts (even against the untouchable that is BS).
Onward Bernie soldiers.

(3,982 posts)I had thought that it was going to be another awkward "grouchy Bernie" imitation (I had stopped about a 3rd in).

(60,015 posts)Like the earlier Bern Your Enthusiasm skit, you have to like the Larry David brand of snarkomedy, I think.
certainly nothing that will hurt Bernie, that's for sure. He did well...and his voice is really getting fried on the campaign trail.
