Larry David Pisses on Picture of Jesus

How original! Never heard of that before.

At one point in the show, David goes to the bathroom in a Catholic home and splatters urine on a picture of Jesus; he doesn’t clean it off. Then a Catholic woman goes to the bathroom, sees the picture and concludes that Jesus is crying. She then summons her equally stupid mother and the two of them fall to their knees in prayer. When David and Jerry Seinfeld (playing himself) are asked if they ever experienced a miracle, David answers, “every erection is a miracle.” That’s what passes for creativity these days.

Was Larry David always this crude? Would he think it comedic if someone urinated on a picture of his mother? This might be fun to watch, but since HBO only likes to dump on Catholics (it was just a couple of weeks ago that Sarah Silverman insulted Catholics on “Real Time with Bill Maher”), and David is Jewish, we’ll never know.

That's so frickin' funny. Really.

UPDATE: I think a few who have stumbled onto this post, not being regular readers, haven't realized that I'm being utterly sarcastic when I said the bit was funny. It's not funny at all from my perspective.

UPDATE, 10/29/2009: Here are my new thoughts on the "Jews laugh" links.

  1. How courageous of Mr. David and HBO.

  2. I agree, they are courageous to stand up to those violent Christians who riot and behead people all the time. I'm sure Mr. David will have to go into hiding. I hear that the Pope has already declared a fatwa on him.

  3. What kind of idiots are you? Larry David only makes fun of Catholics??!! He makes fun of Jews every time he opens his mouth. My guess is Jesus laughed his ass off at this episode - and at the morons who think that pictures bleed and the "virgin" Mary shows up on pizza pies.

    ReplyDelete
  4. OK, Jesus laughed his ass off. Which part do you think he found the funniest? The part where someone pissed on his image, the part where Catholics thought this meant he was crying or the part where David states that erections are miracles?

  5. Larry David, I have an idea, why don't you post your ugly photo in your own bathroom and urinate on it each time you use the toilet. Now that would be true comedy, you ASS...You need to get out of business you're too old and out of ideas you idiot.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Apparently B.D.Colon also thinks Jesus finds it funny that some of us morons accept the virginity of Mary.

    Larry David should have stopped with the bathroom humor with the bathroom episode of Seinfeld .

    ReplyDelete
  7. If L. David is really out of ideas I got one for him. BD Colen points out that Larry makes fun of Jews as well as Catholics and their strange beliefs. Why not go for the "hat trick" and make fun of Islam next?

    Then we can laugh at the next episode of Curb your Own Enthusiasm which opens with a bunch of Arabs peeing on the headless corpse of some unknown rich western TV sheik.

  8. Ok well Larry David asked for it, everyone complain to HBO Chairman and CEO, Bill Nelson: Bill.nelson@hbo.com

    It's because of all the stupid thinking, that racism still exists.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Thx, Marisa. Here's the email I just sent to Bill Nelson of HBO:

    "I was shocked to learn that on a recent episode of Curb Your Own Enthusiasm, Larry David allegedly urinated on a picture of the Prophet Mohammed, May Peace (not piss) Be Upon Him. I fear for this man’s life and safety after this action. Mr. David will now be a target of Islamic extremists. Disregarding this aspect, I can’t see what the point of urinating on a major religious figure like Mohammed would get Mr. David except a loss in audience numbers. So it’s a perplexing thing to me. I hope he explains someday why he did this; it might be the only way to keep radicals from bombing his studios and buildings and whatnot."

    We'll see if I get a reply, then I'll post it.

    To whom are your comments directed?

    P.S. HBO hasn't graced my TV screen since the '80s when they were running Beastmaster as a daily feature. Wastes of oxygen such as Bill Maher have cemented my decision, as have their constant overdone efforts to be "edgy", like this Larry David episode.

  12. BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT... Write to all the head figures, this blog is not enough, go to fox, go to all the important networks, write to HBO. There is a great article on FOX and the comments are at least made to the point and with intellect. This attack on Christianity has to stop. It's true NO OTHER RELIGION WOULD ALLOW THIS in fact I am certain Larry David would be scared to DEATH to make fun of Islam.

  13. Regina is an anti-Jewish nut and her comment has been deleted. Most Jewish people have respect for Jesus and Mary, at least enough to not pee on them; and yes, I know about the Talmudic writings you're about to bring up, thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Jews don't believe in Christ. Their messiah hasn't arrived. But it goes further. They think of Christ as a blasphemous imposter. They hate Christ, and Christians too. They don't believe Christ died on the cross at Calvry; their books say he was stoned to death in a latrine pit. Mary didn't give birth to Jesus by immaculate conception; they say he was the son of a Roman soldier and Mary was a whore. He didn't arise into heaven; he is boiling in a pot of excreement in hell. So how could you be surprised that they would make light of Jesus? And besides that, who do you think owns the TV station, and who is the show's producer, and on and on.

  16. What are you people mad over - really? What are "Christians" doing watching Larry David's show anyway? It's obvious that he is in no way an adherent of your religion. Why aren't you people watching the terrible watered down, edited versions of movies they make for you? Oh - could that be because they SUCK, so you can't help but watch the movies/television shows that are deemed "offensive" or derogatory toward you?
    Can you really see Jesus getting worked up & irate over some nonsense like this? You need to get out of these neanderthal religions. They are destroying your capability for rational thought.
    More than Jews laugh at this stuff. I can't stand Judaism any more than I can stand Christianity & I'm laughing it up.

  18. The fact Dave never made an attempt to clean up such a .. mistake .. leads one to believe he lacks a wee bit of respect his mom never taught him.
    Someone somewhere will teach him some respect.
    IF he continues to disrespect like he does.
    Being on TV gives him a lot more viewers than the normal joe.
    He should have made an attempt and maybe left a bit of urine accidentally on the picture but to show no respect AT ALL .. may .. give him a bit of trouble ..
    Imho ..

  19. Larry David must not mind when we decide to piss on him? Jesus is God - the King of the Universe! I have seen him shining like thousands of suns. I feat for what karma larry david will have to pass. How can the Jews do this on national TV and then cry when they the same happens ot them?

  20. how can the Jews do this on national TV

    Crystal, "THE JEWS" did not dod this on national TV. Larry David did this. I have several Jewish friends and I'm sure the more serious among them wouldn't hold him up as a shining example of Jewish piety.

    Let me up the ante here for you antisemitic f-tards who are coming over from Rense's site by saying this: I am happy that most of you idiots don't make as much money as those scary Jews. You obsessed new-Nazis would fuck this country up far worse than the liberals have.

  21. Everyone should watch the video to which commenter "eugenics" links. It manages to be anti-Jewish, anti-Catholic and retarded at the same time, which I suppose isn't terribly hard... but it claims that Saturday is the sixth day of the week. Hello?

  22. wow, the name calling is truly more of the moronic diatribe of lesser minds.

    On one side we have the blogger, who posts something that they deemed in poor taste and posts it for everyone to see. Then the people that see it, if they came from the rense website, must be neo-nazi anti-Semitic f'tards.

    How wonderfully American of you. You stand for your right to your own opinion yet, name call when you don't agree with other view points.

    There certainly is enough substantive proof that media control is now predominately in teh hands of a few companies, 5 control 95%. They are owned and managed by Jewish individuals.

    Folks, you might try to look at the true inner nature of yourselves prior to casting those stones at others....be they Christian, Jew or whatever.

    And Pauli may delete my post, but will at least read it first. I hope a little of sinks in.

    Keep in mind that if Obama signs the new hate bill, you might get censored like those you censor....

  23. Hey Pauli, don't get mad at me. I just point out a fact and you accuse me of being a Nazi? I didn't write the Talmud, and Gentiles are told that they aren't allowed, under punishment of death to read it. Gentiles have a right to know how Jews, not as individuals feel about them, but as an ethnicity and a group mentality. I know many Jews and consider them wonderful people. But if you want to call me a Nazi, who's the real bigot here?

    So, Guy, I guess if I use an adjective like "moronic" it wouldn't count as name calling the way "moron" would. Be patient with me, I'm learning. You words are "sinking in" and I'm becoming a better American as a result.

  29. Well Pauli, we're onto you now. You call yourself a community organizer? That's a fancy name for a Marxist agitator. You're making a good stab at it, but we know wnat people like you are about. You are so full of hate and such a hypocrite you are disgusting!

  30. In Israel Jews are still spitting on Christian leadership of the Holy Land....the Zohar, google zohar.com, search "Rome" says they will destroy Rome and all who associate it. It also says they will destroy 70 Idolatrous nations, google destruction of 70 Idolatrous Nations. It looks like they've about done it to America. So now they should go destroy Israel for their self worship and Idolatry.

    Excuse me, it's time for me to urinate on my picture of Rabbi Schneerson.

  35. Hey Pauli...

    its funny how you have to label everyone a Nazi just to get your point across- that is so kosher of you

    I don't really understand in any case how being called "a Nazi" is an insult or slander- just think of the origins of the term (do you think germans during the 1930s called themselves "the nazis"?)- this shows your ridiculous necessity to judge history according to the values instilled in you by- YES I will say it- JEWISH HOLLYWOOD.

    don't look to the status quo of judeochristian values and anti values if you want to evaluate humanity. just take a good look at yourself and see where all that has gotten you and the rest of the fools like you

  40. Have you even seen the episode, or any episodes of CYE? Larry makes fun of every group, including Muslims (he sets up a woman in a burka with a blind man), Christians, Jews, the disabled, the overweight, celebrities, you name it.

    I can see where people would be offended by this particular episode, but taken in context of the show he is certainly not singling out Christianity as part of an evil plot to undermine society. He's an asshole, but he is an equal opportunity asshole.

  43. Larry David may very well joke about Jews, and that is all well and good, but, had a Catholic, or any Christian comic told a Jewish joke or pissed on something sacred within the Jewish community, you can bet your bottom dollar that Abe Foxman would be on every TV show condemning this comic, and order him to go into a "Dialogue" with Jewish leaders over what would be called "Anti-Semitic" and hateful views towards the forever suffering Jewish people. After all, they did it to the Kuwaiti comic a few years ago who did a sketch on Kuwaiti TV that mocked Ariel Sharon.

    Double Standard.

    ReplyDelete
  44. It is all about the double standard. I posted this on Facebook and had to deal with knuckleheads who were arguing with me that Christians/Catholics basically "deserved" to be mocked. Isn't that special? I won't go into the idiocy of their arguments. Suffice it to say that I find the idea of pissing on a copy of "The Diary Of Anne Frank" completely hysterical! I think I'll do it and maybe post it on YouTube so we can all lighten up and have great big laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  45. It's a freaking comedy show, get over yourselves, it was funny. It's fine and dandy to mock other religions, but when Christianity gets a few jokes pushed on them it's heresy.

    you people are the unbelievable ones, get over yourselves.

    Oh, and here's an idea, maybe you shouldn't watch a show that apparently ruffles your feathers so much.

    ReplyDelete
  46. As a staunch Irish Catholic I find what Larry David did totally reprehensible. However, he is not alone in his disrespect toward our faith and Christianity in general. For example, it is only a fraction of the blasphemy exhibited by DIMITRI THE LOVER’S BANNED ANIMATIONS ... specifically view the animations named "Crucifixion of Dimitri" and the "Ejaculate Conception" (warning: they are NSFW). How this "pick up guru" can get away with posting this type of anti-Christian content on line and in his TWITTER ACCOUNT is beyond me. In Canada we have a Blasphemous Libel provision in the Criminal Code but even after law enforcement received multiple complaints about Dimitri The Lover they did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. He may not be a Jew like Larry David (I beleive he's Greek Orthodox), but nonetheless, it is very sad.

  51. It seems that Christianity is always the target for fanatic idiot people who have run out of imagination and have nothing better to deliver on tv. If Christians would deliver the same message against Moses or Mohammad, we would be at war in the media, the news, the movies, the demontrtions Etc.. We can stop this nonsense by not watching it.

  52. I agree that this is not only tasteless, offensive, and unfunny, but it also demonstrates the double standard of the politically correct zealots who have a stranglehold on our society. You can bet your last dollar that if some show did a scene of a Christian urinating on the Talmud or Torah the ADL and related groups would be up in arms screaming from the rooftops organizing boycotts of the network and its advertisers, demanding the network discontinue the show and print full retractions and apologies. But what do we hear from them in response to this despicable disrespectful showing by David?? Silence. And that speaks louder than words.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I am intrigued by Colette's post on "Dimitri The Lover". I am actually LESS OFFENDED by his pornographic Christian imagery than I am of what Larry David did. Let me explain:

    Larry David directly pissed on the image of the Virgin Mary and MOCKS her. Dimitri The Lover INCORPORATES himself into the Christian story in a SEXUAL way. He never once "disrespects" the story.

    Yes, Dimitri has sex with the Virgin Mary. But, even though the image of the sexual encounter may be "offensive" it is in no way "disrespectful". Furthermore, him being hoisted upon the cross by "Feminazis" and "crucified" is rather amusing.

    Finally, the choice of the name "The Church of Dimitri of Latter Day Sluts" may be offensive, but it would not be the first Christian offshoot focusing on orgies and group sex. Also, it appears to be poking fun at the Mormons, who of course beleive that the Virgin Mary was impregnated by space aliens (I kid you not ... look up "Banned Mormon Cartoon" on YouTube).

    ReplyDelete
  54. Personally, I think it's funny as hell that some silly women would think that a picture of Jesus that was hung in a bathroom close enough to get splattered on with urine would think tears and not piss!

    I realize it's an unscripted tv show, but it's still showcasing the absurdity of all the virgin Mary's in tortillas and Jesus's in potato chips & grilled cheese sandwiches.

    When are these religious fanatics going to get some freaking perspective? Perhaps they should spend far less time perusing foodstuffs for images of religious icons and more time looking at ways of helping their fellow man without shoving their religious fairy tales down others' throats! After all, it's not so hard to work for peace and for ways to help people who are starving that don't require the mention of a Jesus or Buddah or any other religious figure.

    If religious fanatics thought far more about actively solving the world's problems and far less about how they can manipuate others' into believing what they believe, we'd be much farther along in reaching permanent, working solutions.

  57. he never actually pisses ON the picture... it might be a minor detail, but it only sprays on it. and the purpose of the joke is to laugh at someone that is willing to quit her career to take a photo of jesus on the road because she thought it actually was crying. THAT is the part that Jesus would laugh at. Jesus, after all, wasn't keen on idols or moneychangers in the temple, etc. (someone made and sold that painting of an idol.)
    and, to the guy that said they should pee on the torah... er, the torah IS the christian old testament. besides, anyone that knows jewish humor knows that the first tenant of jewish humor is to constantly ridicule and make fun of judaism. helps keep one's perspective on thins to be able to laugh at sacred things every now and then. so, lighten up.

    now they are picking on the Catholics and the Christians, in their Grand Plan of the use of deception to have all the religions fighting and killing each other off

    Yes, many of the Gentiles (who aren't really even Gentiles, BTW) get killed by exploding copies of the Talmud rigged by 89th degree Freemason Zionists. They put flouride in the water, too. Plus they took over the aluminum foil companies so it doesn't work to shield the satellite beams any longer.

  65. It's pathetic...a cartoonist protrays the Prophet Muhammad (a major taboo according to liberals) and 3/4 of the world comes becomes enraged, including Western leaders. But an episode showing pissing on a portrait of Jesus Christ gets no mention.

    Larry David is a despicable sad sack with a self-destructive sense of humor. And this latest "piss" episode is disgusting for anyone with a moral compass.

    David is a typical "smart ass" liberal molded from the socialism/marxism of the 70's. He thinks he's being ingenious by mocking Catholics because he knows they aren't vocal in the media and therefore an easy target.

    But in addition to Catholics, David also makes fun of religious Jews using vile humor that feeds into the worst of stereotypes: that they are all cheap, cut-throat, cunning, complaining, disloyal, combative people. For Catholics, the stereotype is that they are idiots blinded by faith.

    But what "Enlightened Jews" like Larry David don't realize is that the same people they mock are the only people who would stand shoulder to shoulder with them should Muslim fanatics or other Jew hating dictators (i.e. Hugo Chavez of Venezuela) ever threaten their lives and livlihood.
