Larry David often copies his own work.
Summary Larry David often mined his own best work to come up with ideas for Curb Your Enthusiasm, and some of the show's episodes remake old Seinfeld classics. Curb and Seinfeld have a lot in common, so it's no surprise that David has seen fit to recycle certain storylines. Both shows focus on the minutiae of everyday life, with characters who fret over the most insignificant social interactions.
8 Season 8, Episode 1, "The Divorce" Remake of Seinfeld Season 6, Episode 4, "The Chinese Woman" Close Curb Your Enthusiasm reinvented itself brilliantly with Larry and Cheryl's divorce. Season 8 opens with the faint hope that they might be able to smooth things over, but Larry quickly ruins his chances simply by being himself. He puts his trust in the hands of a divorce lawyer named Berg, thinking that he is Jewish.
The nanny is fired, and Larry takes it upon himself to find her a new job. This is one of the rare episodes where Larry is trying to be the good guy. As the title suggests, Seinfeld season 4, episode 21, "The Smelly Car" features a similar problem. Jerry's car gets infested with the horrific stench of body odor after a valet drives his car. Eventually, he realizes he has no choice but to give up on the car entirely. Curb's story has Larry on the other end of the transaction. Rather than struggling to see a foul-smelling car, he is trying to buy one for Richard.
4 Season 8, Episode 3, "Palestinian Chicken" Remake of Seinfeld Season 8, Episode 8, "The Chicken Roaster" Close Curb Your Enthusiasm and Seinfeld both feature episodes in which characters go to extreme lengths just to enjoy the food at a newly-opened local chicken restaurant. In "Palestinian Chicken," Larry discovers a new Palestinian restaurant which has opened next door to a Jewish deli.
Larry David may have gotten more brazen with his Seinfeld tributes in Curb Your Enthusiasm 's final season, because "Fish Stuck" has a reference to a classic Seinfeld episode that's hard to ignore.
