Mixed bag

Curb Your Enthusiasm's "Wandering Bear" episode is a mixed bag. While it includes one of the funniest condom sagas ever seen on television, some poorly aged jokes prevent the episode from reaching its full potential.

Larry faces girls gone wild videos and a dog that he might have hit with his car. As the situation spirals out of control, Larry is forced to improvise and manage the fallout.

One of the standout moments of the episode is the hilarious condom saga involving Larry and his poor wife Cheryl, which adds some major guffaws. Moreover, the show uses the story to point out the ridiculous ways many condom brands advertise to their target demographic in the ever-changing and evolution of the condom industry.

However, the episode also includes some poorly aged jokes that are cringe-worthy and might leave many viewers uncomfortable.

Overall, "Wandering Bear" has its moments, but the poorly aged humor detracts from the overall enjoyment. While fans of the show will appreciate another classic Larry David adventure, those who are sensitive to problematic content might want to give this episode a pass.

Goofs
When Larry gets back into the car with Jeff after picking up the dog he pulls across his seat belt and is about to fasten it. In the next cut he does it over again.

Quotes
Wandering Bear: I've come to collect my money.
Susie Greene: You know what, Wandering Elk, whatever the fuck your name is, you were paid already, okay!
Wandering Bear: Hey, you don't need to talk like that. You're a better person than that.
Larry David: No, she's not.

Alternate versions
The DVD version of this episode is slightly shorter than the one originally broadcast on HBO; the scene where characters watch Girls Gone Wild was edited for the DVD at the request of Larry David.
