Finding Larry David and Seinfeld was probably one of the best things that ever happened to me. Before them I had thought I stood alone as this socially awkward person who worries about and gets annoyed by things people consider "normal" and won't say anything about because that is what's expected from us.
What started with Seinfeld continued and was developed in Curb your enthusiasm. One of the taglines of the series says "Deep inside you know you're him" and frankly speaking I couldn't agree more.
There is not one day I don't encounter an irritating social situation that was analyzed in one of these series and most of the time I wish I had the guts to pull a Larry David. The man himself said that his character on the show is "[his] version of Superman. The character is really me, but I just couldn't possibly behave like that. If I had my druthers, that would be me all the time, but you can't do that."
So here he is, Larry David, my hero.

A very worthy post. He is my hero too. I was going back through the third season yesterday and one of my favourite moments is when he is at Hugh's party, who says: "Larry! Tell me you're enjoying yourself?!?" and Larry says "No!".
The improvised scenes with Lewis are genius too.
