In news that is pretty pretty cool if you’re a Curb Your Enthusiasm fan, HBO announced today that they are teaming up with the popular app, Bitmoji, to create a new expansion pack of emojis based on Curb Your Enthusiasm to celebrate the show’s 15th anniversary and to highlight the network’s #laughNOW campaign to celebrate HBO NOW’s top comedy programming throughout October. According to the press release, users will be able to completely take on the persona of Larry David himself or simply modify their avatar with his signature bald head and glasses, as well as six classic catchphrases.
Jacob Blackstock, CEO of Bitstrips, thinks that this will be a great marriage of comedy and modern means of communication.
“We all love many things about Larry David and Curb Your Enthusiasm, but at Bitmoji, we really appreciate how Larry found a way to speak his own language and still have friends in the process,” said Blackstock. “Many fans have expressed how much they enjoy Larry’s very specific way with words, and now they have chance to bring some Larry David-isms to every day conversations. We’re grateful to Larry and HBO for this fun collaboration.”
So, if you have the kind of friends who won’t throttle you for speaking your mind like a true social assassin as you deliver hilariously inappropriate comments on life and whatever, then these emojis might be the perfect way for you to show your #TeamMisanthrope pride. These new bitmojis will be released on October 15, so be sure to download the app.
