Larry David’s petty, puerile perspective on modern life kept us laughing and cringing through 12 seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and now everyone’s favourite grump has turned his neurotic lens towards American history, for seven-episode sketch show Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness.
You can watch Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness online from anywhere with a VPN.
Produced by Barack and Michelle Obama to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness follows a clever format – an alternative history of America told through Larry David gripes and faux pas – albeit one that borrows heavily from Mel Brooks vehicle History of the World.
Each episode comprises four separate sketches, a few of which have been teased in the trailer (embedded below). Larry David hijacking V-J Day celebrations for his own lustful ends looks especially promising.
Not everyone was a fan of the catchphrasing, perma-yelling Larry David of latter-day Curb, and the show didn’t always benefit from its surfeit of guest cameos from the spheres of Hollywood and politics, but that seems to be the approach that Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness is taking, with Barack Obama, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Hamm, Isla Fischer, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Bill Hader, Kathryn Hahn and Vince Vaughn amongst those getting in on the action.
On the plus side, so will Curb regulars Susie Essman, Jeff Garlin and JB Smoove. Don’t hold your breath for a Cheryl Hines appearance.
