I hope this isn’t paywalled. Enjoy.

Holy Grail is the apex, but I really like the Meaning of Life. The Sex Ed class, the Galaxy Song, the Very Big Corporation of America, the Death scene where the dinner attendees are arguing with the Grim Reaper:
Guest: “Listen here, Mr. Reaper, you can’t just barge in here…”
(Getting impatient) Reaper: “Shut up, shut up you stupid American. Just shut up! It doesn’t matter anymore because you’re all DEAD!” and then all their spirits go out of the dinner party and get into the spiritual version of their cars and drive away.

Larry David, as himself, and in the purported literary form of George Costanza, played by Jason Alexander in Seinfeld, are almost equally entertaining. I’d give a slight nob to George, but then I saw everyone of the Seinfeld episodes multiple times and may not have seen everyone of the Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes even once; I may have missed something.
For my money, though, the writing, the characterization, the acting, and the humor, that went into the characters of George’s parents tip the scale in favor of the Seinfeld series.
I was one of a few very lucky young boys in Salt Lake City, in the mid 60’s to have a Jewish best friend. His parent’s were supportive, wonderful to be around, accepting of me (as a then-Mormon youth), and yet, in many ways, some comic, a bit like George’s parents.
Edit to say: I’m sitting here late having a good laugh thinking about them. God Bless the Ottenheimer’s

My experience with Jewish culture has been nothing but possitive

Mine, as well. One of my boys used to play in a basketball league at the Jewish Community Center when it was on Foothill and 17th. Not really like ward ball, it was more of a social occasion for the parents, with a kids ball game going on at the same time. Pretty chill, lots of laughter (not at the kids). Lots of joy.
I’ve always loved the Larry David-like observation: “I love Utah because it’s the only place I can be a Jew and a Gentile at the same time!”
Being able to have fun with your own culture is a good thing. I used to wince at some of the things Majerus said about Utah and Mormons, but he was even more joking about Catholic culture, so it was nothing close to condescending, it was coming from a place of endearment, sincere.
“If I ever had a kid and I couldn’t take care of them, I would just drop them off at the Rydalch’s… and they’d have a great life!”

Larry completely blows up a nice, mixed couples evening of playing poker, and doesn’t understand why… then gets defiant about it:
He truly is George Costanza.
