Super Bob

I just watched The Super Bob Einstein Movie on HBO Max — a 75 minute tribute/retrospective about Bob Einstein, who passed away about two years ago. It's a lot of clips of his work…talk show appearances, scenes from Curb Your Enthusiasm, clips from shows he produced and/or wrote on and so forth…interspersed with interviews from those who knew and worked with him. There are even interviews from folks who were related to him, including brother Albert Brooks. It's a well-made and fitting compilation.

And there's plenty of Super Dave clips, the sum of which led me to a conclusion about the man: The funniest things he did were probably the ones that cost the least. Some of those Super Dave "stunts" must have cost a bundle and taken all day to tape…and they aren't half as wonderful as Bob Einstein just talking, especially when pissed-off about something. As he usually was.

Give it a look if you get a chance.
