* %%UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Everyone in the finale of season 7 takes Mocha Joe's side in his conflict with Larry. To keep it brief, Larry asks Joe to bring some jumper cables to his office as a favour, since he was en route. Joe demands Larry buy him coffee beans from across town in return. Larry tries, but the shop closes before he can make it. Joe shows no appreciation for the effort, and holds his "generosity" over Larry's head. Then, when he's attacked by Jason Alexander's dogs, he [[EvilIsPetty spitefully]] blackmails Larry by threatening to get them put down.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Everyone in the finale of season 7 takes Mocha Joe's side in his conflict with Larry. To keep it brief, Larry asked Joe to bring some jumper cables to his office as a favour, since he was already heading that way. Joe is so furious that Larry didn't pay him for this that he demands Larry pay him back with a much bigger favour (driving across town to bring him his coffee beans), and when Larry tries but doesn't make it to the shop in time, Joe doesn't show any appreciation for the effort, and Jerry even takes Joe's side. Then, when Mocha Joe is attacked by Jason Alexander's dogs, he blackmails Larry by threatening to having the dogs put down, [[EvilIsPetty purely out of spite.]]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-fUGBfJHCY The theme song itself]] has become a popular meme similar to that of "Spanish Flea" and "Funiculi Funicula", thanks to how well it's able to score cringeworthy or awkward scenes.

* MagnificentBastard: "[[Recap/CurbYourEnthusiasmS8E10LarryVsMichaelJFox Larry vs. Michael J. Fox]]": [[AsHimself Michael J. Fox]] was Larry's neighbor upstairs, who, despite escalating a conflict with Larry including purposefully shaking up a soda he gives to Larry, while excusing it through [[DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery Parkinsons]], actually has standards, shown when Creator/LarryDavid continues to escalate the conflict further and was willing to turn the other cheek until Larry [[EveryoneHasStandards drew a Hitler stache]] on his father-in-law. Then, he turned an entire charity organization against Larry, and nearly got him run out of town. Cunning, and able to use his disability to get the things he want, forcing Larry to donate to a Parkinsons charity, Creator/MichaelJFox was one of the most cunning adversaries had faced.

* 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.

* IdiotPlot: Season 10's main plot, which is kicked off when a robber tries hitting Larry's house but falls into and dies in his pool due to the lack of fencing. Larry is then blackmailed by the deceased's brother into casting his untalented daughter in his new show, and convinced he could lose everything and face jail time if he lets this issue go to court. This is despite [[AssholeVictim the victim's death occurring while he was robbing Larry's house]], the blame lying more on the prior owner who neglected to set up the fence when the law passed (which combined with Larry's genuine ignorance about the law got him off with only a warning from the incident's responding officer), the possibility of a countersuit for extortion (which Larry has physical evidence of), and his incredible wealth allowing him to get far superior legal representation, or even just settling out of court with a hefty payout which he can absolutely afford.
