"Ben's Birthday Party
30 mins.
Larry performs a comedy of errors at Ben Stiller's birthday party; Richard Lewis asks Larry for help with a relative's dilemma."
This episode was one of my favorites of the series. Ben Stiller was great in it. I loved that look he gave Larry while everyone sang Happy Birthday. Larry's boob obsession was hilarious also.

I didn't like this episode at all. Usually I agree with Larry's points or can relate to him somehow, but other than not bringing a gift when told not to bring a gift I thought he came off like an ass in every scenario.

I pretty much agree. I've been really surprised over the years to hear people say that Larry plays an ******* or an idiot in the show. I consider all the other characters in the show to be either idiots or *******s, but in these first 2 episodes this season Larry has been pretty annoying. Maybe it was just me, but I thought last night's episode was possibly the worst of the entire series.

The quality of this season so far is especially annoying considering how much I like Ben Stiller. Actually the episodes haven't bothered me too much because I'm hoping they're building up to something better. Of course I hoped that about Carnivale and SFU too and was disappointed where both those shows ended last season.

Not related directly to this episode, but this is a wonderful article written about all things David. The language in it can be a bit coarse at times, so you've been warned.

I hope Ben Stiller stays on the show so I can keep seeing his wife, Christine Taylor. I've had a crush on her ever since she was on Nickelodeon's "Hey Dude" and playing Marsha in the Brady Bunch movies. While I was in radio, I got to interview her during the first Brady Bunch movie when she was in Denver...I tried to set up a lunch meeting, but scheduling didn't allow it--and she was single then. Damn you, Ben Stiller, damn you. Oh wait, I'm married now--nevermind.
Anyway...good show. I guess I missed the season premiere because I thought that was the premiere...darnit.
