    Larry David was reportedly thrilled to get uninvited from Barack Obama's birthday party

    Former President Barack Obama reportedly couldn't curb Larry David's enthusiasm when the comedian was cut from the guest list for Obama's somewhat controversial 60th birthday party on Martha's Vineyard last week.

    David's apparent elation over getting uninvited mostly seemed to stem from the fact that he initially feared he was going to be expected to perform at the event, which was eventually scaled down because of concerns about the Delta coronavirus variant. In an email to The New York Times' Maureen Dowd, David said he was struggling to come up with a standup routine after Obama's assistant called him with the invite. "I was glum when I finally called back his assistant," David told Dowd.

    But then things turnaround for the creator of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

    "When he told me I was eighty-sixed from the party, I was so relieved I screamed, 'Thank you! Thank you!' He must've though I was insane," David said. "Then I hung up the phone, poured myself a drink, and finished my crossword puzzle."

    You've never heard of Barack Obama?

    He was President for 8 years. One time he wore a tan suit. People freaked out. And now people seem to be giving a shit about his birthday party from like a week ago. But hey, it gives them a distraction from covid and anti-vaxxers being fuckwits.

    He's most famous for being a co-creator of Seinfeld, but he also had a solid show he starred in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

    Larry David, I mean. Not Barack Obama.

    I've met a surprising number of people who have never watched Seinfeld and have no particular interest. Not that it's weird to me that everyone doesn't like it, but the show seemed so ubiquitous in the '90s, it surprises me how many people never even saw an episode.

    Some of us were busy during the '90s, what can I say. I never saw an episode until a couple of years ago.

    I never found it funny, so I've probably watched maybe 1 seasons worth of episodes over the run. I watched the series finale, and thought it was dumb.

    Season finale is quite possibly the worst episode in the 9 seasons. Need to watch seasons 4, 5, 6, and 7.

    The series finale was the worst episode, but it also had a poetic ending that only made sense if you saw (and remembered) the first episode.

    But yeah, the finale isn't very representative of the show.
