Larry David's style of comedy often relies on cringe and deadpan humour in order for it to make its point.
You only need to look at Curb Your Enthusiasm or Seinfeld to get that it's really an artform and demands a certain level of intelligence to be able to make audiences want to curl up and die from second-hand embarrassment, so it's quite possible that this was Larry David's intention throughout his seven-minute monologue on last night's SNL.
What did he cover? For one, he made a joke about hitting on women during the Holocaust. He also said that a lot of the men being named during the sexual harassment scandals were Jews, and he did a caricature voice of a Jewish man.
Here's the video itself. Get ready.
Really, all you need was some of that music from Curb Your Enthusiasm to round it out and we would have had a live episode. So, how it'd go down online? Not good. Not good at all, quite frankly.

I think Larry David is ridiculously funny on Curb, but this monologue is painfully unfunny.

Just when you thought Larry David's #SNL monologue couldn't get worse, he joked about seducing women in concentration camps. Wow. #HeBombed

Naturally enough, you had people also chiming in that Larry David's comments were hilarious and that it's all PC gone mad. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
