5. Insufficient Praise

Complete story — includes the ending

While overseeing preparations for the coffee shop, specifically the urinals, Ted Danson visits Larry to tell him he is now a financial backer for Mocha Joe's. Elsewhere, Freddy Funkhouser ( Vince Vaughn ) gifts Larry a sex doll which he does not intend to use. Larry also gets Freddy's uncle Moke addicted to internet porn. At lunch with Richard and his new girlfriend Carol ( Isla Fisher ), Larry gifts her a stole that belonged to his mother, after hearing a tragic story of how she lost her mother. However, he immediately learns that she is a 'professional crier' and believes he has been swindled. Larry also gets a new housekeeper from Susie, on condition that she visit two set days a week. However, the housekeeper asks Larry to come when she would work for Susie, as she intends to quit working for her, due to her foul mouth, leaving Susie furious. Jeff has a new client, Clive Owen, whom Larry deeply offends when he gives 'insufficient praise' to his one-man show that he performed. Ted learns of the sex doll from Larry's mailman, and immediately goes to tell Cheryl. Larry attempts to retrieve his stole from Carol, believing her story to be fake, and she angrily slaps him in the face. At Clive's show, Larry has Jeff hire Carol to cry during the performance, thus encouraging others to cry, and restoring Clive's confidence. After the show, however, Larry attempts to get the stole back, and is led away by a police officer. Clive and Carol meet, and begin a relationship, which is short-lived when Clive discovers her profession, and they get into a fight in the street, which leads to her presumed death after being hit by a van. Larry attempts to deflate the doll after discovering Leon has been using it, but is caught in a compromising position with it by his housekeeper, and Cheryl. Larry gives it to Freddy's uncle, thus solving his internet porn problem.
