MAGICAL VAGINA
BEST ORIGINAL EXPRESSION

STEVE: This may just be the toughest category of the entire awards show.
Since I personally find the sex stuff to be the most prolific moments of the show,
the best OG expression needs to come
from this area. And so, with that in mind, nothing felt fresher or more original than "Magical Vagina." Long live its super powers.
SOFIA MILOS
BEST LEWIS GIRLFRIEND

STEVE: Richard Lewis is the George Costanza of Curb. The guy keeps getting all these hot girlfriends and you have to wonder, "How?" Sofia Milos was on season one and Lewis's "first" Curb girl. She also happens to be the first one to tell Larry to fuck off. She's exactly the right kind of sexy dirty worthy of this award.
ANNE BEDIAN aka SHARA
BEST SHIKSA (FOR LARRY)

STEVE: For those unaware of the term "shiksa," it's Yiddish for gentile (non-Jewish woman). Cheryl is a classic shiksa, but not eligible for this award because this is technically for Larry's best girlfriend- none of whom appeared to be Jewish.
As for the award winner- I seriously considered honoring all the nominees. What a shiksa harem they would make!
Personally, my favorite is Loretta- but in terms of a fair and balanced analysis,
Shara, the Palestinian, has to be the Queen of Larry's Harem.
BEST SEINFELD GUEST STAR
1. JERRY SEINFELD
2. JASON ALEXANDER
3. JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS
4. MICHAEL RICHARDS
BEST TED LINE
“Take your freaky friend and your freak book
and get the hell out.”
“One tastes good. And one sucks!”
“Good luck with the Fatwa.”
“What a day, huh? Heaven, just heaven.”
BEST LEWIS LINE
“LD, goldfish would commit suicide in this water.”
“He probably read Gerbil magazine and you’re on the cover.”
“You’re like a Jew squirrel.”
“You looked at her mole with a goddamn telescope like Galileo jerking off from 40 feet away.”
“You look like Einstein’s gardner for Christ’s sake.”

2020
JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS
BEST SEINFELD GUEST

STEVE: Of the big four, my favorite character on Seinfeld is George- but in both real life and on Curb, the clear choice is Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She had two incredible moments on Curb that had nothing to do with Seinfeld.
It was when she got excited about being able to curse on HBO and the wood stain on the coffee table. And fuck Jason for not going to Larry's office for the meeting! Love you Jules.
ONE TASTES GOOD
BEST TED LINE

STEVE: Let's be honest. Ted is seldom funny on Curb. Ted Danson clearly needs written lines to be funny-
not that there's anything wrong with that! As an actor, he's hilarious! So, it makes sense that his best line from the show is an understated one- but in context, was magnificent. I'm talking about the scene where Larry was trying to convince Ted to swap sandwiches with him. And when Ted refused and Larry asked why, he came up with gold, "One tastes good. And one sucks!"
GERBIL MAGAZINE
BEST LEWIS LINE

STEVE: Richard Lewis insulting Larry is one of the greatest gifts of Curb. And with that said, it's impossible for me to pick just one. So, I'm deferring to Curb's sound man for all 100 episodes, Earl Martin, for this winner. Earl says he likes the "Gerbil magazine" one best cause he actually suggested it to Richard on set. There you go-
a great line can come from anyone.
If it's funny, it's in.
That's how this show rolls. It does make you wonder if Lewis ever comes up with his own lines. After all, he is old and starting to look like he should be hosting, 'Tales from the Crypt.'
CURB
BIG BALD AWARDS
BEST FUNKMEISTER LINE
“When did you cum, before or after she said she was going to fuck the Jew out of you?”
“It’s like I took a straw and put it in a frog’s ass.”
“Have you finally set aside a day when you’re going to look at her face?”
“Do you crap standing up?”
BEST SUSIE LINE
“You fat fuck and you four-eyed piece of shit...get the head!”
“Fuck you! You carwash cunt. I had a dental appointment!”
“He’s her significant other and you’re her significant nothing.”
“You marched over there. You got a blowjob and then you gave the house away.”
"I'm done. I'm over it. I'm turned off. Leave! Get the fuck out. OK? Freak of fucking nature doesn't want a house tour."
BEST CHERYL LINE
“I didn’t say deviant.”
“I think when I’m with you, I feel better about myself.”
“When women broke up with you, did you light up like that?”
“Did you have sex with my sister, Becky?”
“It’s actually not funny Jon Hamm.”
“Why don’t we go home and I’ll make it worth your while.”
“Oh my God, you are obsessed with tits.”
HAVE YOU FINALLY
BEST FUNKMAN LINE

STEVE: RIP Bob Einstein aka Marty Funkhouser aka Funkman. A comic genius who delivers his lines with a precision and seriousness like only he can. When he asked Lewis about finally looking up at his girlfriend's face, rather than her magnificent tits- that was pure gold.
SEX WITH BECKY
BEST CHERYL LINE

STEVE: Cheryl's a tough one because her best lines often revolve around being upset with Larry. Her shock and awe in asking Larry about having sex with her sister, Becky, was peak Cheryl. It's like her disdain for Larry had been building for 20 years just to deliver that line. She nailed it.
BEST LEON LINE
“You got long balls, Larry. You’re Long-Ball Larry.”
“You step inside that ass, open it up and spray paint,
Larry was here!”
“I once shot a porno constipated.”
“I’m living large! Drinking champagne out of
a motherfucking croissant!”
“If I lived in the 40’s and some girl said, ‘Poo-poo pa-dupe,’ I know I’m tapping that ass.”
BEST JEFF LINE
“I would fuck her with a Bush mask on!”
“The only reason you’re going out with her is because
of her ample bosom.”
“These big vagina ladies are getting away with murder.”
“Fuck you Mickey. Cocksucker. Go Fuck yourself!”
(aided by Susie’s rhythmic shrugs )
“Cock! Cock! Jism! Grandma! Cock!”
“Who stops a whack-off?!”
Jeff reciting the ingredients of Larry’s sandwich, one at
a time to Ted.
“HBO pays for the porn.”

FUCK HUGH
BEST EXCHANGE

STEVE: The most important award is also the final award. This category goes straight to the heart of the show- an improv exchange between two or more characters. I'm not sure this list necessarily represents the single best exchanges, but it is one helluva' sample.
And so without anymore kibbitzing,
the #1 exchange is, "Fuck Hugh."
Although, one wonders if this was in fact a pre-meditated "Fuck Hugh." Surely, Larry named the character "Hugh" just to pay off with a rightful and funny fuck off, right?
