Larry David Plays Hits Learns Nothing Send Off Curb Enthusiasm

Larry David gets a second chance at a series finale in Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 12, with callbacks and fan service galore.

In the highly anticipated Season 12 finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David takes a second chance at crafting a memorable ending after the infamous Seinfeld finale blunder. Titled "No Lessons Learned," the episode stays true to David's signature style by refusing to offer any resolutions or heartfelt moments. Instead, it embraces the chaos and absurdity that fans have come to love.

From the start, it was clear that the trial setting was a perfect setup for the finale. Episode 10's title, a nod to Seinfeld's "no hugging, no learning" rule, sets the tone for what's to come. Larry, unapologetically himself at 76 years old, boldly declares that he has never learned a lesson in his entire life. This sets the stage for a series of testimonies from characters Larry has wronged over the years, including fan-favorites like Mocha Joe and Mr. Takahashi.

The episode is filled with callbacks and references to iconic moments from the series, from the infamous "c*nt obituary" to the hilarious carpool lane incident. While some may criticize the episode for feeling a bit like a clip show, the fan service is undeniably enjoyable for long-time viewers. With a runtime of one hour, all of Curb's beloved characters get their moment to shine, including Leon, Jeff, Susie, and even the late Richard Lewis.

Overall, "No Lessons Learned" succeeds in delivering a satisfying conclusion to Curb Your Enthusiasm, showcasing Larry David's unique brand of humor and wit. Fans can rest assured that this finale will not end up on any "Worst Series Finales of All Time" lists, as David once again proves why he is a master of his craft.
