that's the joke

Larry does it to himself. He enjoys being a curmudgeon. Anything else you’d like me to explain to you?

>"you know, people would have a little more respect for you if you didn't act so niggardly, people don't take kindly to those niggardly"
>"Dad, for God's sakes, will you keep it down? people are looking right at us"

I'm watching a show where a man is worth 400 million in-universe, but he appears to have no staff, and people are asking him to run various errands like some one's bitch. No one respects him or treats him with any kind of reverence either.

>I can't believe Elaine got gaped

>>212124170
He’s retired and hangs out with his other rich retired friends. I don’t treat my accomplished friends with reverence and admiration every time I see them I treat them like my friends. A lot of the time Larry is right to be disrespected. He’s a cantankerous stubborn asshole. He can also do whatever he wants cause he’s worth so much. That’s why he acts as such.

>>212124170
it's true, like I was watching the episode where he puts up Lin-Manuel Miranda's cousins in his house and then people act like he's the asshole for complaining that they were ingrates who treated him like shit, threw a party and trashed the house. But when he complains everyones like "OY VEY LARRY STOP BEING A SHITTY HOST"

a lot of the spats are like that, Larry is actually the more reasonable party most of the time, especially in the later seasons

>>212124406
I haven't seen the entire show, but has Larry ever thought about opening a charity? Charity work and foundations and think tanks are what rich guys like Larry typically do to keep themselves busy.

>>212124612
He gets involved in various projects throughout the course of the show. He keeps himself busy. He’s only really semi-retired. He does a broadway show, a Seinfeld reunion, even opens a coffee shop in the later seasons.

That's literally what his wife does...
