In the 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' finale, Larry finally gets what he wants

  • Unique Points
    • Larry David is found guilty of violating an unjust election law in Georgia
    • Allison Janney plays a character that Larry dislikes and insults her
    • Janney owns a gun and threatens to shoot Larry during the trial
    • The series ends with Larry's death by gunshot
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in that it presents Larry David as a victim of an unjust election law when he was the one who violated it. The author also uses sensationalism by describing the gun used to kill Larry as 'the proverbial gun' and making exaggerated statements about how much people hate him.
    • The article presents Larry David as a victim of an unjust election law when he was the one who violated it. This is deceptive because it implies that someone else is responsible for his actions, which they are not.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains an example of a fallacy known as 'appeal to authority'. The author uses the fact that Allison Janney is a well-known actress and has played characters that people do not want to piss off as evidence for Larry's eventual death. This is flawed because just because someone is famous or respected does not necessarily mean they are right or their opinions should be taken at face value.
    • Allison Janney plays characters you NEVER want to piss off
    • Janney’s character has purchased a gun.
  • Bias (85%)
    The author of the article is Drew Magary and he has a clear bias towards Larry David. The title of the article mentions that Larry finally gets what he wants which implies that there was some sort of injustice done to him. In addition, throughout the review, Magary uses language such as 'asshole' and 'deserved' to describe Larry which shows his negative view of him.
    • He may be a vocal liberal, but he’s also a cartoonishly wealthy man who lives only to indulge his pettiest grudges.
      • Larry, at least on “Curb,” thinks it should. And because he doesn’t get the “Uncut Gems” treatment at the very end, he can hold onto that worldview for the rest of his delightfully miserable life.

                  • Fallacies (80%)
                    The article contains a fallacy of false analogy. The author compares the ending of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' to that of 'Seinfeld', but there are significant differences between the two shows and their endings. Additionally, there is an appeal to authority fallacy as the author cites Seinfeld's creator David Puddy as a source for his opinions on the show.
                    • The article states that Larry David, co-creator of 'Seinfeld', defended its ending by saying it was clever to bring back all those characters in a courtroom and testify against them. This is an example of false analogy as the two shows have different themes and storylines.
                    • The author cites Seinfeld's creator David Puddy as a source for his opinions on the show, which is an appeal to authority fallacy.

                    The author of the article is Avi Selk and he has a history of bias in his reporting. The title mentions that Larry David's trial was essentially a restaging of what happened in Seinfeld's finale which many fans found to be one of their worst nights on TV. This implies that the author may have an opinion about the quality or impact of Seinfeld and its ending, which could influence his reporting on this topic.

For instance, he says 'the real Larry David — a millionaire with a beautiful wife (Cheryl Hines) and no legitimate responsibilities — somehow found even more to complain about.'
