How is it that black people do not complain about Leon?


That idiot turns my stomach whenever I see him. Maybe the reason no black people complain is that no black person has ever watched "Curb"?

What's wrong with Leon? He usually solves a problem that Larry has.. for example got the Mickey Mantle ball from that dreadful therapist, called him Mopy-dick to help him back in shape, got him out of paying that asshole for the car damage, and etcetera

He's pretty cool for a roommate / friend

You can not or watch

He is portrayed as more intelligent and reasonable than Larry, so what's the trouble?

I think Leon is hysterical!!!

Always have, and J.B. Smoove is great in the role.

His delivery is fast, funny, and always gives an episode a boost.

Leon is sometimes funny but a lot of his schtick gets tiring.

I hate that guy, and I am beginning to hate Jeff too ... he is like Larry David's Ed McMahon ... hahahaha'ing through out the whole show. And what is that disgusting thing he has on his lower right lip? Ugh ... gross.

reply

Would you say that the overall quality of the show has declined? Perhaps the actors are just tired and no longer interested in Larry's project, but agreed to play the part out of camaraderie.

The last season going on now is kind of disgusting. There is a point in comedy where there are things that are funny, but not really cool, or not really cool in that they take something guiltily funny, and exclude everything else. I see a lot of sexism in Curb in the last season as well, but you cannot mention that because IT'S FUNNY?

How is it that they don't complain about ALL black people in this show. They're all shown in a pretty negative light, super sensitive, quick to anger and to turn anything into a race thing. At least that's how it comes across to me and i'm not even american.

Leon is the stereotypical funny black guy. He's just like Lamar Davis from GTA 5. It's weird he wound up being such a big part of the show, the humor doesn't blend with this kinda show at all. He's straight out of something like The Boondocks.
