Larry David is no stranger to flirting with the limits of good taste.

He began with the sex scandal rocking Hollywood, saying, “What I want: Einstein discovers the theory of relativity, Salk discovers a cure for polio. What I don’t want: Weinstein took it out.”

“I know I consistently strive to be a good Jewish representative.” As a model Jew with impeccable behavior, David said, he makes passers-by comment, “if it weren’t for the self-deprecation and the irritable bowel syndrome, you’d never know in a million years.”

David then launched into a discussion as to whether his “obsession with women” would have held up in the Holocaust. 

“I’ve often wondered that if I grew up in Poland when Hitler came to power and I was sent to a concentration camp, would I still be checking out women? I think I would – ‘Hey, Shlomo, did you see that one by Barracks Eight?’” he said.

Even before David’s routine ended, Twitter and Facebook reaction came fast and furious.
