| 1 | * ActingInTheDark: Cheryl Hines is usually unaware of what the character Creator/LarryDavid has gotten himself into during an episode. |
| 2 | * TheDanza: Beyond the AsHimself examples above, there are several good old-fashioned Danzas: Cheryl Hines as Cheryl David, Jeff Garlin as Jeff Greene, Susie Essman as Susie Greene, and Creator/WandaSykes as Wanda. |
| 3 | * DirectedByCastMember: "The Thong", directed by Jeff Garlin. "Artificial Fruit", directed by Cheryl Hines. |
| 4 | * DuelingShows: The very short lived ''The Paul Reiser'' Show was basically Creator/{{NBC}}'s version of ''Curb''. In the second of the two episodes aired, Larry even figures in the plot (Paul has no desire to host a game show... until he hears Larry was offered it after he turned it down) and appears in a scene in the episode. |
| 5 | * LifeImitatesArt: The moment in "The Lefty Call" where Larry tries to call out a skinhead, only to find out the man's actually a cancer patient, basically happened [[http://www.avclub.com/article/full-frontal-samantha-bee-apologizes-joking-cancer-251811 in real life]] with Creator/SamanthaBee. |
| 6 | * MarthDebutedInSmashBros: To an extent with Creator/RichardLewis, whose fame in the US was primarily down to his frequent appearances on talk shows such as Creator/DavidLetterman, which didn't translate widely overseas. He had a part in ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights'', although as a parody that movie is often overlooked. He in fact approached Creator/LarryDavid to write him a sitcom of his own after ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' (which would have gotten him more popularity), but was instead asked to join ''Curb''. To many outside the US, it's what he's mostly associated with. |
| 7 | * TechnologyMarchesOn: The series has been going on long enough to document the progression of mobile phone technology in the 21st century as a few early episodes are dependent on spottier reception for phone calls while season 7 portrays the Blackberry as the top of the line device for the growing market of text messaging over a cellular network in 2009. |
