Someone like Larry's character in CYE or this movie isn't going to be someone you are going to like. People don't respond positively to such whiners-about-trivialities-when-there-are-REAL-problems-in-the-world -type.
Even Larry's voice sounds like someone with some kind of throat illness trying to produce a real voice, but is unable to. It's like a weak guy trying to yell but due to sore throat, that's the best he can do.
Larry's looks, behaviour, clothes, walking style, voice, and constant bickering and swearing is all very unlikable. That's probably why some people consider it to be funny, but CYE is even at best just a very very pale shadow of Seinfeld, with many things blatantly stolen from Seinfeld. I am too tired to produce a list of all that thigns CYE stole from Seinfeld, but they are numerous, and those are the funniest bits in CYE anyway.
There's one original AND funny CYE thing I can remember right now; the black woman defending Larry against Susan's foul-mouthed attack.
This proves that women COULD protect men, if they wanted to. Somehow this almost never happens, though, men have to fend for themselves both physically and socially, and are yet expected to protect women.
Wouldn't it be a more fun and equal world, if women always protected men socially, while men protectd women physically?
I dont think Larry is a genius - Jerry Seinfeld and Michael Richards were mostly the genius behind 'Seinfeld', as much as they are problematic people (the other is a douche, the other is a racist)
