The opening phone conversation where everything is misinterpreted is great! Add in Leon just listening in eating chips for added gold. From there, nothing beats it. A decent episode.
A better episode than the last one as the subplots felt less forced. The best scene here is seeing how angry Larry gets when his ideas for the mini bar aren't accepted. It reminded me of the great scene when Ted Danson doesn't swap sandwiches with him back in season 7. Larry poking fun at the stupidity of using 'they' to address one person is a highlight as well. Maria Sofia losing it about her jacket being 'stolen' is also a laugh. Still not the laugh a minute show it used to be but a worthy episode.
As with previous episodes, the favourite shirt vendetta Freddy has seems ridiculous and, although we don't see him too much, it seems out of character. The "irasshaimase" subplot isn't far off. The scene with Larry telling Jeff the secrets and Leon overhearing is the highlight here. "I'll tell you a secret, that shirt is fucked."
This has issues from the first scene where a police officer gives Larry "a pass" for breaking a law after not having a fence around his pool. Then in the next scene there is some Trump hate that really comes from nowhere and does nothing to help the plot except for when Larry makes fun of it to the character's face in a later episode. We then see Larry trying to get another show up that forms the story arc for the season along with the non-pool fence. The subplot of once someone walking into a glass door they are no longer seen as a sexual being to their partner is fairly good. The other season 11 sub-story arc of Leon trying to find someone with the same name to go on a trip feels, again, less grounded than much of the series has felt. 3-2.5 out of 5.
A very weak episode by Curb's standards. Very predictable and seemingly more forced than the past. Dylan O'Brien's character is not from the real world. Cheryl only being there to mention Larry's towels... Why the hell would that come up in conversation between her and Susie? The arc of Larry trying to get a show up and it not working well with the executives has been down a couple of times throughout the series already as has Jeff needing Larry to help him with his cheating. The dentist not completing a job because of a request to turn down annoying music is another example of it feeling more forced. The ideas of Larry aren't as original or what they used to be. Up until the end of season 11, this is the worst episode of the entire series I think.
