Meet the characters from Curb Your Enthusiasm

Larry David

Okay, Larry is peak curmudgeon energy — petty, brilliant, neurotic and somehow always convinced that social rules are optional if you have a better argument. He’ll pick fights about the tiniest slights (or imagined slights) and then act mystified when everyone gets mad, which is half the joke and also infuriating in the best way. He’s sort of a philosopher of small annoyances, and yet he’ll also do something wildly childish like sneak out of a party through a hedge — or was that someone else? Either way, he’s endlessly uncomfortable, oddly principled, and impossibly relatable when your inner monologue starts litigating people’s behavior.

Jeff Greene

Jeff is the worn-down, hustling friend/agent who seems like he should be chill but is actually in a permanent state of mild panic about money, sex, and social standing. He’s slippery in a charming way — makes bad decisions, apologizes later, tries to rationalize everything with a shrug and a joke, and somehow survives it all. He loves nice things and golf and pretending he’s less chaotic than he really is, which is both pathetic and noble. Also, he might be the only person who can be both Larry’s enabler and his foil, and that’s oddly precious.

Cheryl David

Cheryl is the long-suffering, surprisingly sharp ex who balances patience with a low-key fury that will deliver the perfect burn when you least expect it. She seems mostly grounded and moral but also has moments of hilarious pettiness — like filing a passive-aggressive complaint and then feeling guilty about it five minutes later. She’s practical (laundry queen?) and kind, but also not afraid to drop someone from her life if they’re being unbearable, which she sometimes is about small stuff too. Honestly she’s the person who would both bring you soup when you’re sick and text you a scathing paragraph about your etiquette, and that combo is oddly endearing.

Susie Greene

Susie is a force of nature — explosive, profanity-soaked, delightfully unfiltered and absolutely fearless in saying exactly what she thinks, loudly. She’s protective (especially of her husband Jeff), merciless in argument, and has this comedic timing where she’ll blow up over the dumbest thing and it’s somehow the best part of the scene. Secretly, there’s a soft spot under all the cursing — she’s loyal and fierce and you can tell she’d show up if it mattered — though she’d complain the whole way. Also, she paradoxically loves calm classical music in the car but will scream at a cashier for a missing coupon, which somehow fits her.

Leon Black

Leon is this big, cool presence who speaks in unforgettable one-liners and has a swagger that makes him both intimidating and hilarious. He’s loyal to a fault (mostly), gives brutal but useful advice, and seems to enjoy messing with people while also being the guy you’d want in your corner. He eats weird stuff sometimes? Or maybe he just invents recipes on the spot and calls them genius — anyway, he’s unpredictable and grounded in equal measure. Beneath the bluster there’s real softness, but he’ll threaten your family first and then explain his feelings, which is very Leon.

Richard Lewis

Richard is the classic neurotic comedian persona writ large — anxious, self-deprecating, convinced something awful is always about to happen and charmingly resigned to it. He obsesses over his health, his career, relationships, money; basically anything that could go wrong is already in his head five times over. He’s painfully honest and funny because of that honesty, and sometimes you feel badly for him and then he makes a joke and you forget to feel bad. Also, he’ll gripe about modern life like it’s personally betrayed him, which is both a mood and a full-time job.

Marty Funkhouser

Funkhouser is the deadpan, slightly awkward friend who somehow becomes the moral center of a lot of chaos; he says stuff that lands weirdly but often cuts straight to the point. He’s earnest and will listen to your rant and then give you an unexpectedly sensible take — and then toss in a bizarre anecdote about his life, because of course he will. People think he’s uptight but he has an odd streak of warmth and also collects obscure records? Maybe that was once in a conversation — memory is fuzzy, but it fits. He’s the kind of friend who will show up with casserole and passive-aggressive advice, and you kind of need him.

Ted Danson

Ted-as-Ted is polished, charming, maybe a little too confident, and somehow manages to be both genuinely nice and maddeningly oblivious to social disasters. He plays the role of the successful summer-y guy who has real-life problems (marriage! reputation!), and he navigates them with a wink and a very expensive sweater. There’s a sense that he tries very hard to be likable, which is endearing until it’s not, and then it’s hilarious. Also, he owns a lot of boats? Not sure, but he’d definitely have an opinion about boat etiquette.

Mary Steenburgen

Mary is mellow, warm, and quietly sharp — the type who can diffuse an argument with a look and then deliver a pointed observation that makes you rethink everything. She’s patient with everyone’s nonsense (especially Ted’s), but don’t be fooled: she has a dry wit and will call you out if you’re being ridiculous. There’s a soothing, slightly mischievous energy about her, like someone who sings in the kitchen and then insults you lovingly. Sometimes she’s almost too calm, but then she’ll drop a line that slaps you awake, and you’ll love her for it.

Funkhouser’s Nephew

Okay, Funkhouser’s Nephew is this delightfully awkward minor character who tries desperately to be cool but mostly just creates charmingly awkward moments. He’s eager-to-please, sometimes obnoxiously earnest, and prone to saying the wrong thing at the worst possible time — which, to be fair, is basically his brand. He’s kind of a mystery (is he actually competent? sometimes yes, sometimes no), and that inconsistency is part of what makes him fun to watch. Also, he probably has a weird hobby like competitive yo-yoing or collecting hotel soaps, because of course he does.
