Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee

Comedy

Not the best title for a TV series, but does exactly what it says on the tin. Picture Jerry Seinfeld, picking up a comedian in a gorgeous vintage car (quite a few from his personal collection) and going for a ride to get… a coffee. From that simplistic plot came out a series of hilarious banter sessions with some of the best comedians in the (anglo-saxon) world: Ricky Gervais, Larry David, Gad Elmaleh (!), Chris Rock, Tina Fey, Howard Stern, Jimmy Fallon, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Will Ferrel and even… Barack Obama. If you like cars. Coffee. Comedians. Or all 3.

Curb You Enthusiasm

Comedy

Not exactly new, but not that well known. If you liked Seinfeld, you will love Curb Your Enthusiasm. Simply because the writer (and main character / main actor) is none other than Larry David: Jerry Seinfeld’s co-creator for “Seinfeld”. And actually, the character of George Costanza in Seinfeld was written after Larry David. Therefore imagine, a show centred around George Costanza, but with even less regards for social conventions. Funny. Cringey. More funny.
