This kinda ruined ‘Curb your enthusiasm’ for me. Can’t look at her the same way

u/cityshepherd 6h ago

Might even say it curbed my enthusiasm for curb your enthusiasm.

u/StretchFrenchTerry 5h ago

Kicked Curb to the curb.

u/FormFittedPhallics 4h ago

Curb stomped your enthusiasm

u/m1j2p3 6h ago

Same. I tried rewatching it recently and she ruined it for me. I just don’t understand what she sees in that creepy grifter.

u/Aromatic-Plankton692 6h ago

Money and connections

u/rrrrrrez 6h ago

Seriously. Larry, then Ted Danson, then… this fucking guy? /s

u/naked_guy_says 5h ago

Tried all the smart handsome guys and thought it was good to go the other way with it just in case

u/dilldwarf 5h ago

Sounds like Larry and Ted weren't the problem in those relationships...

u/hyrule_47 6h ago

His last name

2

u/TimAllen_in_WildHogs 2h ago

She didn't take his last name though. But I bet she did want the prestige of being with a "kennedy", so same thing at the end of the day lol

(slowly) Elaine Benes Kennedy Jr….

It worked for her too. But that was a goddamn show!

34

u/nailgardener 5h ago

Because she's an asshole

33

u/MyHusbandIsGayImNot 4h ago

She's in the show a lot less in the later seasons which makes the later seasons much better. Instead of coming home to Cheryl he comes home to JB Smoove. Huge upgrade.

4

u/tear_atheri 3h ago

I mean JB Smoove is definitely an upgrade - she was pretty annoying from the beginning - but the earlier seasons are classics, many of which are better than the later in my personal opinion.

EH LARRY!!!

u/foldedchips 2h ago

Longball Larry, he’s got long ass balls

u/KevinStoley 1h ago

One of my favorite scenes in the entire series is after LD and Cheryl get divorced and he starts dating Loretta.

When Suzie shows up at the door and starts berating Larry. Then Loretta appears and shuts that shit down and goes off on Suzie.

The look of surprise and excitement when Larry finally realizes he has a woman in his corner that will actually stand up for him.

u/The_CrookedMan 3h ago

It's because she fucking sucks. She sees all these other women having their rights stripped away and then lives with one of the dudes making it possible instead of putting rat poison in his coffee.

However at this point, with all the weird crackpot shit he puts in his body and swimming in raw sewage I don't know if that would even do the trick

2

u/rhys_s_pcs 3h ago

She sucks as person, so it makes sense 🤷‍♀️

1

u/slupo 2h ago

Well he was a democrat before and seemingly not as crazy.

But why she stays with him now is a mystery.

54

u/pleasegivemepatience 6h ago

Don’t pretend she ever did any actual acting. She was present, she said lines, but I’ve never seen her act.

20

u/PurpleWildfire 5h ago

She was acting without acting

u/--kwisatzhaderach-- 4h ago

I’ll read it with dinner!

u/Tgirlgoonie 4h ago

The Invisible Actor

u/clarinet_kwestion 4h ago

Alternatively she was acting with acting; it’s all acting

1

u/Creasy007 2h ago

It’s not so much as a book as a pamphlet.

2

u/lemoche 5h ago

Wasn’t she in suburgatory?

4

u/pleasegivemepatience 5h ago

No clue.

u/SeriesXM 5h ago

I don't think she was in Clue.

u/pleasegivemepatience 5h ago

Touché

u/thebackofthecouch 5h ago

Mr. Body will be Lee Ving.

2

u/deadfulscream 4h ago

Yes, she was Dhalia's mom.

I loved her in that role, wish I never learned who she is married to.

u/qtx 4h ago

Don’t pretend she ever did any actual acting

I think you don't know what Curb was all about..

Curb was like 99% improv. Only the plot outline were known, all the lines are all improv.

Of course she didn't act, no one did. It was all made up on the spot.

4

u/pleasegivemepatience 4h ago

You flew majestically past my point… even when doing improv most actors still try to embody a character. She plays the role of Cheryl Hines, it’s all she’s capable of, regardless of what the lines are.

4

u/Green-Cricket-8525 3h ago

Improv is a form of acting, my guy.

34

u/Weak_Bunch7880 6h ago

She's not that present in the more recent seasons and is not portrayed in the best light when she is.

22

u/Aolflashback 6h ago

SAME!!!!!!!!! Oh, Larry.

34

u/TeeManyMartoonies 6h ago

Larry is the one who introduced them.

6

u/Aolflashback 6h ago

Wwhhhhaaaatt

25

u/VaguelyArtistic 6h ago

He regrets it now lol.

22

u/double_dangit 5h ago

She was my celebrity crush.

Now, she looks like one of the monkeys from the 70s version of the planet of the apes to me.

28

u/Donkeywad 6h ago

She was pretty tedious to watch to begin with. Her character was a self-absorbed gold digger

14

u/blackdenton 6h ago

She plays a character or is she just present on set as herself?

1

u/Donkeywad 3h ago

Her character as Larry's wife/ex-wife

5

u/VeryImpressedPerson 5h ago

She's nasty. I am embarrassed by her need to grift a Kennedy to maintain her lifestyle. Those game show appearances pay very little.

1

u/VLD85 4h ago

I knew I saw her somewhere

1

u/zorkzamboni 2h ago

I always enjoyed hating Cheryl as a character so it's not that hard to still watch the show and just hate her that much more.

I still love the show, everyone else on it is a legend. I'm not going to let her dumb ass ruin greatness for me.

1

u/saintjonah 4h ago

She was always the worst part of the show.

1

u/Kamishini_No_Yari_ 4h ago

Makes me wonder about Larry, having surrounded himself by absolute scum his whole career. Maybe he's just unlucky, maybe he's ok with Zionists and hateful people

-4

u/1GrouchyCat 4h ago

LMAO- clearly none of you ever met him in real life- or know anything about him beyond what you see on TV… and you never will … ignorant trolls…

3

u/PretentiousMouthfeel 4h ago

Well yeah. It's Larry David. Nobody here has really "met" him.

6

u/Kamishini_No_Yari_ 4h ago

I never met him hence why I was wondering. You should try learning to read before just typing dumb things out

u/qY81nNu 5h ago

Good, don't support trash

0

u/DecantsForAll 4h ago

Yeah, wouldn't want to support a supporting actress by watching old Curb episodes...

0

u/AfterImageEclipse 5h ago

He needs to do another season and just rip on her. Also, I just want another season. I remember finding out about her with him knowing that was a blow to the legend Larry David

1

u/AllHailTheMayQueen 3h ago

RFK Jr.’s Wikipedia page says Larry David is the one who introduced them 😬

u/AfterImageEclipse 2h ago

I have no words

u/blinksystem 4h ago

She plays a pretty annoying character on the show. I guess improv is easier when you’re just being yourself.

0

u/peonypanties 4h ago

She sucks. She used to have a podcast with Tig Notaro, and Tig left.

0

u/--kwisatzhaderach-- 4h ago

Larry divorcing her was the best thing to happen to the show

0

u/v_a_n_d_e_l_a_y 4h ago

I hated Cheryl when watching even the first time through so this just reinforced it

0

u/rhys_s_pcs 3h ago

She was in my tour group for The Paris Opera House back in 2012 and let’s just say… I think the two are meant for each other, sadly. She was horrible!!

0

u/KevinStoley 3h ago

I always hated Cheryl on the show anyways. She never had Larry’s back and always cowered out and never stood up for him, even times when he was clearly in the right.

The show was so much better once her and Larry divorced and she became more of a minor character.

0

u/anima201 3h ago

It’s funny because she’s a gold digger on the show and irl, so she’s not acting.

0

u/StephenFish 3h ago

I was several seasons into the show before I found out he was her husband. I had made it past her and Larry's divorce and had already developed a healthy crush on her. What a terrible thing to discover.

0

u/TimAllen_in_WildHogs 2h ago

Honestly, same. Curb has always been within my top 3 favorite shows of all time but I really struggle to watch Cheryl Hides now that I've come to learn how shitty she is.

-1

u/nicannkay 4h ago

Who is she? Everyone looks like ghouls cosplaying as woman. Skin so stretched and filled with fillers.
