Curb has a good balance I think where Larry is the major lightning rod and the other characters can be a contrast. Peep show both of the protags are unlikeable and the supporting cast are, as far as I can tell, just playing it straight. There's no release to the awkward tension

Curb was improvised which probably helped. There's an outline for an episode and what needs to come up in the scene but the dialogue is otherwise improvised. So it was people genuinely reacting to Larry somewhat.
