The Funniest Part of the Latest ‘Curb’ Episode Is How Badly It Triggered Marjorie Taylor Greene

Marjorie Taylor Greene better be careful about beefing with Larry David — for all she knows, he could have the codes to the Space Laser.

Up until now, Curb Your Enthusiasm was hardly a “political comedy.” When it did cover topical domestic and international issues, its approach was to find the pettiest way such news items could affect Larry’s life — like when he ate the best chicken of his life at a Palestinian restaurant, or when he donned a Make America Great Again hat to get strangers to give him his personal space. Now, two episodes into the show’s final season, David is smack-dab in the middle of a contentious issue regarding Georgia’s controversial voter suppression law, the Election Integrity Act of 2021, which, among other measures, makes giving queued voters free food or water a crime punishable by prison time.

After handing a water bottle to Leon’s Auntie Rae in the Curb season premiere, Larry is now engaged in a highly-publicized criminal trial that’s attracted the attention of many prominent public figures, including former Georgia state representative Stacey Abrams. In real life, Larry’s political arc on Curb drew ire from the current U.S. Representative from Georgia’s 14th congressional district, the far-right conspiracy theorist Greene, who unloaded on Larry’s fictional fight against a very real and very dumb law in a lengthy, stream-of-consciousness Twitter tirade yesterday morning wherein she also launched assaults against electric cars, “the nasty commies from California,” grammar and syntax.

The meandering rant touched on a litany of topics with a fittingly uber-conservative approach to punctuation, but nowhere within the manifesto does Greene suggest that Curb's depiction of the law's consequences is in any way inaccurate. By the letter of the Election Integrity Act of 2021, giving a friend's aunt a water bottle while she waits in line is absolutely a crime in Greene's home state. As many Twitter users pointed out, perhaps Greene's post went wildly off course into attacking the electric car industry and calling for the entertainment sector to take their business elsewhere because she doesn't actually have any way to refute Curb's comedic criticisms of her state.

“So you want to crater the GA economy because of a comedy,” one of the top replies to Greene's tweet reads, while another advised the congresswoman, “Brevity is the soul of wit.” One more Twitter user replied with a recording of Greene blatantly encouraging voter fraud during the 2020 election.

Over in the Curb Your Enthusiasm subreddit, superfans reacted to the unhinged and unintelligible rant with similar incredulity, with one writing, “Anyone that complains about Curb or Larry’s actions is setting themselves up. He doesn’t give a fuck, and fans of the show don’t give a fuck either.”

A particularly profane user chimed in, “What a beloved cunt she is.”
