The Art of Apology

In Curb Your Enthusiam the most over-used plot devise is Larry David needing to apologize to someone. Can this stupid devise get any more tiring? Often, it makes me want to throw up my hands and say "who cares!"

Re-watching a Seinfeld episode yesterday - they used the same plot devise, but much more effectively. Kramer throws a banana back at a monkey and the monkey gets depressed and the caretakers insist Kramer apologize. Now that it is a funny and absurd use of the plot devise. Much better than any of the Curb episodes - especially from last season.
