It's not just that Larry David continues to be funny while Bill Maher stopped being funny more than a decade ago. It's that self-deprecation is Larry's kryptonite. There's a bit in Curb where Larry steals shoes from a Holocaust Memorial. What joke can Bill make at Larry's expense that punches harder than that?
In contrast, Bill's got some of the thinnest skin in the industry
I lost my taste for celebrity nonsense a long time ago, but I'm guilty of wanting to rubberneck this one
