Larry David pees on Jesus, pisses off Catholics

Posted by Danielle Berrin

Larry David has once again proven his ability to indiscriminately offend—this time, with a bodily function.

On Sunday’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Larry takes a new pill that causes him to pee with the force of a firetruck spray hose. While in the bathroom at his assistant’s house, the back splash lands on a portrait of Jesus, which his assistant later interprets as Jesus “crying” and perceives as some sort of miracle.

According to the Huffington Post, however, Catholic League president Bill Donohue is not feeling especially humored.

In a statement, Donohue said:

Mention Larry David in a word association game and “Seinfeld” rolls off the lips. That show, which David created, wrote and produced, was brilliant. “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is not. Indeed, last night’s episode demonstrates that David’s best years are behind him. He ought to quit while he’s ahead.
...
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.

Check out the clip with a cameo by Jerry Seinfeld:

Your headline is incredibly offensive. Of course, you don’t worship Jesus Christ, so why should you care?

Actually, I disagree with Bill Donohue. Curb IS brilliant. I love the show. Larry David’s best years are ahead of him. However, as a Catholic, the backsplash scene involving the portrait of Our Lord made me very uncomfortable. It did not make me laugh. That said, I’ll give Larry David the benefit of the doubt and assume that he was not purposefully setting out to blaspheme God. At a certain level, I can appreciate the humor in the situation that he’s depicting, and I forgive him for his unintended sacrilege. “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.” By the same token, I forgive you for your headline, although it really is over the top.

It’s pretty easy to be provocative and offensive when it comes to people who don’t get provoked. Perhaps he should have tried a scene where he pissed on a portrayal of Mohammad. Of course he might have fund a somewhat more motivated populace when he came off the set or out of his house, or in his house. Too bad he didn’t give it a shot.

Jew bastid…(oops, sorry - that was offensive)

This was hilarious!!

I am sick and tired of Christians trying to control our media. All they do is whine and moan.

If they don’t like it, they can switch channels over to Pat Robertson and get their wallets lightened!

Larry David’s lack of good judgement is a reflection on Jews in the entertainment business. Christian know they can expect scurrilous contempt and attacks from Jews in the entertainment business and nobody will hold them accountable.  You can bet your life savings that Time Warner’s Jeffery Bewkes (a Jew) WILL NOT step in and demand accountability for Larry David offending millions of Christians and HBO customers.  Perhaps Larry David should do a spoof piece about Nazi SS men pissing on faces of Jewish Rabbi’s just before they get thrown into the showers at Auchwitz.

Don’t be a hypocrite, Ira. I’m sure that if some goy went on TV to question the veracity of the official Holocaust narrative, you’d do a lot more than whine and moan. You’d probably call for the goy to be arrested.

Armed Tex, I wouldn’t put anything past Larry David. He’s an equal opportunity offender.

Christians are diseased in the head, they destroy everything they touch

They destroyed America when they voted for Bush and Reagan

Christians think it is ok to kill Jewish people and openly mock and demonize them in the “New Testament”

But when A stupid in offensive thing happens like this accident happens they go crazy and want to kill jewish people

Christians are a fucking cancer, Christianity needs to die

C’mon people. Larry David was not insulting Jesus he was making fun of the propensity of people to see miracles in the most mundane things from grilled cheese sandwiches to weeping statues and pictures. How serious can it be when this happened in the same episode where his character is arrested for taking too many paper napkins from a restaurant?

To “Fuck the Christians” - Get your hand off of your tiny penis, put the pistol in your mouth and pull the trigger. Then you won’t have to walk around with all that pent up frustration about your pathetic life.

I remember an earlier episode were Lary is stuck ona ski lift with what ibeleive is an orthodox jewish women who must be in her house before sundown, since she is a women. Later Sheryl makes bacon for breakfast,and the of two i beleive father daughter, want to berry the plates since that is their custom. Larry has made fun of his jewish beleifs many times, remember the christmas tree in his home because sheryl’s family christian. The holocost was horrible, but as a canadian and raised catholic i appreciate the fact that the jews are strong and resiliant, and very very funny people, they were wrongto steal and expelle the palistinians but that whole other issue. I hope one thing though as funny as piss on jesus’s face being taken as a miracle is lol, so is invaded and stealing palistine on the claims that it is the land God has given u lol

What a well written great piece of information. I remember that I was looking for something like this from a couple of months. I am glad that I found my way here by coincidence!

Thanks for this. I got the link from a comment you left at another site and found it to be a great compilation of the story thus far. Here’s praying for the integrity of the trade.
