There is nothing funnier to me than off the cuff, unscripted humor. Everytime Richard Lewis appears on Larry David's show "Curb Your Enthusiasm," he demonstrates an incredible ability to just riff, and many times catch Larry off guard and make him laugh. When the camera captures this, it is super television and is so real. The clip below is one of my favorites and a great example of Richard's quick thinking when not scripted. The lines he delivers so well are around "Klansman," "bowel concern" "porpoise," and "squirrel." The setup: Larry hires Richard's girlfriend to work in his office and things don't seem to be working out.
