he made all the money, she doesnt have a real job, yet she just nags about the most insignificant crap, always takes other peoples word over his, and tells him to buy her extravagant gifts like its nothing and gets pissed if he doesnt...i get hes got a lot of money, but jesus
shareI agree 100%.
She is the worst. I hate her and everything she represents.
I thought I was the only one that hated Larry's wife. Even her voice is annoying.
Having said that, I have a cousin that is exactly like her. Never had a real job, spends husband's money and complains about everything like a spoiled bitch. Finally, after 15 years, her husband had enough and divorced her!
Larry is a handful to be married to. I think she's pretty patient, considering.
shareYou know, your finances become one when you marry. It's not like one person gets to control the other person's life.. Cheryl also does a lot of charity work and events, opposed to Larry, who generally does nothing.
Who would trust Larry? He lies consistently, including to Cheryl many times.

I think Cheryl was patient as well. She put up with ALOT of Larry's BS. BUT what I dont get is that sometimes she asks (or demands) he does something which causes him to get into trouble and she just stands there while he gets his ass handed to him, instead of saying 'I actually told him to do/say that. I'm sorry. Its not his fault!' Other times she knows the truth and stands there and doesnt defend him.
Its not just her, sometimes its his friends or other people that know the situation isnt his fault and they stand there and dont defend him. Other times its his own damn fault though. Haha
I don't like his wife either. Night brings up a great point about her, that boils down to her not "having his back" in some embarrassing situations. At one point he tells someone that his marriage is less a partnership and more a rivalry, and that's very apparent.
What I don't get is her always asking him to run her errands. I could see if she was sick or something, but mostly she's fine. It doesn't make sense, he earns the money, you should be doing your own errands AND Larry's. I'm a woman, so I'm not being sexist, just notice a it's a "fairness" issue. She acts like an invalid.
Just because you exist in a particular-type body doesn't mean what you are saying stops being 'sexist' or starts being 'sexist'.
Your BODY does not define the level of 'sexism' in your post.
Having said that, who cares if you are sexist? Why can't we be sexist? People are already sexist against men, people are already racist against white people, wouldn't equality DEMAND that we extend both of these to EVERYTHING POSSIBLE so we can all just be human beings, and who cares how racist or sexist we are?
Racism and sexism isn't really that insulting in my opinion, because they're not about insulting or attacking the HUMAN BEING, they're just attacking or insulting a TEMPORARY BODY. I don't care if you say my big toe is ugly, it's not always going to be my big toe. But if you say my soul is ugly, I can get insulted.
It's like insulting your car, who cares, you're going to have a different car some day anyway, or at least that car will be destroyed at one time.
Cheryl is supposed to be a realistic woman, so they did a REALLY good job. Sometimes she tolerates Larry, sometimes she laughs with Larry, sometimes she laughs at Larry, and she NEVER has his back, she's selfish to the max.
It's perfectly done, works beautifully and fits this show. The actress can 'handle Larry' very well, so it works.
She's really annoying, but she's supposed to be. In earlier episodes, she was also almost charming in some weird ways, her facial features are kinda weird, so that can become 'exotic' in a charming way.
The thing is, the actress aged, and yet she's still treated as if 'every man thinks she's a hottie', which just isn't realistic, especially in the places this show was 'filmed' (shot at? Hard to use modern, appropriate terminology when we don't really use film anymore), you'd think there are teen and twenties-type hotties all over the place, so would someone really oogle at some 50-year old as enthusiastically as some restaurant staff worker did in the show?
Obviously he married for the gentile pussy.

it's on purpose. her character is a satire on the superficial money grubbing hollywood wife. which makes for great comedy. the actress gives a brilliant performance.
shareI believe Larry David realized this at some point also. That is why they had the wife get divorced on the show. Having Larry teamed up with Leon is 100 times funnier than with Cheryl.
