Larry David Just Brutally Ripped RFK Jr. On His New HBO Show—And It's Everything
"You know, it just didn’t work out that way."
Which was probably for the best as the show offers a satirical take on pivotal moments in American history while sending clear messages about the present. David—a longtime critic of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump and his enablers—doesn't directly satirize any current political figures, but it's no secret who the sketches are referring to—including Hines' husband.
In a sketch from the latest episode, David is dressed as the mother of virologist Jonas Salk, who developed the first successful polio vaccine. As Jonas works upstairs in their home, Dora Salk is outside speaking to a neighbor about her son's work.
Another neighbor named Bobby comes outside, looking and sounding suspiciously like RFK Jr., to yell:
"That vaccine’s gonna kill people. It’s gonna give them heart attacks!"
Dora Salk yells back:
"Drop dead, Bobby. You should die a dog’s death. You don’t know anything about science, you’re not a doctor."
You can watch a clip here:
Bobby replies:
"If I was in charge, I’d make sure that no kids took that vaccine. That goes for measles, too."
Dora responds:
"If you were in charge, God help us all! If some idiot, some moron, ever put you in charge, that would be a dark day for humanity."
Regarding the sketch, Schaffer told Variety:
"One of the things we attempted to do with the show was talk about things that are happening right now, but through a historical lens. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it."
"We’re talking about vaccinations, and there’s incredible ignorance about vaccinations going on right now."
As with past episodes, people found the satire spot on.

Larry David and Cheryl Hines were costars for 12 seasons on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm. David knew RFK Jr. and reportedly introduced him to Hines.
Kennedy had made numerous Hollywood connections when his focus was on conservation as an environmental lawyer instead of an antivaxxer conspiracy theorist making millions off misinformation and pseudoscience. While RFK Jr. still often name drops those connections, many people—including most of his family—distanced themselves from him after he made the change.
David, Hines, and Kennedy stopped speaking, according to Hines, when RFK Jr. suspended his own failed presidential campaign to join forces with Trump.
Hunter Biden Just Epically Trolled JD Vance On National Ice Cream Day—And He's Far Too Good At This
Vance—who has been making the rounds to drum up support for the Trump administration's initiatives ahead of the midterm elections, said with no warning whatsoever that Biden was surrounded by "bad staff work."
He said:
“The thing I couldn’t get over Biden is just bad staff work, man. The way that he ate ice cream, I mean, it’s like, you know, we could bring some of this stuff up, but it’s like they would get him eating ice cream in the most ridiculous, suggestive way imaginable."
Rogan replied that he had "never even paid attention to that." Vance responded that it was "such bad optics," before joking that he would never be brave enough to let himself be photographed eating a corndog.
You can hear what he said in the video below.
In deciding to mark National Ice Cream Day on X, Hunter Biden shared a photo of himself eating ice cream and remarked:
"Hey @JDVance . I wish I knew how to quit you."
In the photo, he can be seen standing next to a poster supporting abortion access, healthcare for transgender people, and "the right to do what you want with your own body."

He also reminded his viewers about National Ice Cream Day before remarking "Congratulations, Spain!" to celebrate the country's World Cup triumph over Argentina, sharing a photo of himself and his father eating ice cream together.

People loved his trolling response.
Hunter Biden's social media game is strong.
Weeks ago, he had social media users smiling after he joked he "would never have forgotten my drugs" in response to a poster who cast doubt on his sobriety and accused him of leaving behind the bag of cocaine that triggered a White House investigation after it was discovered in the West Wing.
Much of the attention focused on Hunter Biden because of his widely publicized history of substance abuse, with then-candidate Donald Trump and others openly suggesting he was responsible despite no evidence to support their claim.
