Curb Your Enthusiasm Roasts the New York Jets

Leave it to Larry David, long suffering Jets fan, stand-up comedian and overall comedic genius to take his love (errr .... angst) for Gang Green to the ultimate level.

In tonight's Curb Your Enthusiasm episode titled The Ugly Section, David takes direct aim at the New York Jets, the misery that had been their 2019 season, and life as a Jets fan in one fowl swoop, which has to make us wonder, why haven't the Jets been on the Curb more often? They're perfect fodder.

In the episode, David along with Jeff Green (played by Jeff Garlin) and Richard Lewis are having lunch with their golfing buddy Carl (played by Bobby Slayton) when suddenly Jeff checks his phone and finds out that ... you guessed it ... that Sam Darnold has mono!

Carl goes on a rant how the season is over, everyone should be fired, and that being a Jets fans truly sucks. (hmmm sounds familiar ...) 

We later find out of course -- in typically hilarious Curb fashion -- that Carl kills himself because of the Jets (and the Knicks too), leaving only a message, "I can't take anymore disappointment." David in response to the news tells Leon (played by fellow Jets fan JB Smoove) that "The Jets killed Carl" leading to a series of hilarious jabs at Gang Green.



Those jabs include David getting into an argument with Carl's wife, Veronica, over why the Jets didn't draft Texans quarterback DeShaun Watson in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft,  getting held up at gunpoint by a Jets fan outside David's coffee shop, and finishing off with another argument with Carl's wife over the infamous Austin Seferian-Jenkins touchdown-that-was-not against the New England Patriots in 2017.

"I haven't enjoyed a football season since 1969!" exlaimed David during the exchange. 

Yep being a Jets fans sucks, so why not just laugh off the misery.

I am pretty sure if  David gave himself another 30 minutes, he probably could rant about the "Buttfumble," Bill Belichick's resignation, the "Marino Fake Spike," Darnold seeing Ghosts, and Adam Gase's eyes. The material the Jets can provide at comedic fingertips in unending as we all know.

By the way free agency begins in a couple of weeks. How are the Jets going to disappoint Larry David further? We'll have to wait and see.
