Louis C.K.

I suppose I've got to keep an eye on this bastards career.

It might not have been the intended effect, but you just reminded me to check out his new show.

Can't wait till 11:00.

Ya with breaking bad and treme done, looking forward to a good season of rescue me. The only commercials I have seen came out yesterday and today with jeter, weird.

I am going to check out Louis C.K., I thought his HBO show was alright and FX usually puts out good shit.

[torker]

One of the funniest stand ups of all time. Lucky Louis sucked. I'll take a gander.

[mikeyboy]

Ditto

Rescue Me is back too.

There are a lots of bus ads in NYC.

[sailor]

"nick apollo"?

[HBox]

"nick apollo"?

For some reason I enjoy that misspelling more than most.

[mikeyboy]

For some reason I enjoy that misspelling more than most.

Yeah, me too. It helps if you imagine how pissed Nick DiPaolo likely is about it.

[thepaulo]

That bald ginger piece of shit is on now

[torker]

The budget for the first 10 monutes of this show was bigger than the entire season of the HBO show.

and I laughed at least once out loud

[HBox]

I saw Louis CK perform a couple months ago in Lakewood, NJ. He was actually recording for use in a future episode, maybe. Before he started they put a couple actors in the audience and recorded a scene with a couple hecklers. So if there is a future show where Louis is doing standup in "Alabama" and someone from the audience yells at him to "talk shit about Mobile" I was there. And if I were a couple rows back I might have even been in frame.

The downside is I've seen all this standup in the show before.

What in the blue hell where you doing in Alabama?

Is this autobiographical or conditional to his divorce decree?

uncomfortable, hilarious show.

I damned near missed it thanks to a fuck up on the Comcast online TV listings. They listed Rescue Me as being Book TV. If you clicked on Book TV, it showed the Rescue Me pic, and description.

[JPMNICK]

uncomfortable, hilarious show.

when he went to kiss the girl on the 1st date as they walked out of the apartment building, I almost had to change the channel.

i thought the 1st episode was great. I am excited to see the rest

[sailor]

They had two on last night. We didn't realise so saw them out of order, not that it mattered.

[Gutter]

i love how the first episode ended with the girl running away from him and into the helicopter....if you look on youtube, there is a video of louis ck stealing a kids ice cream cone, flipping her off, and running into the same heli. i believe it was filmed in the same spot too.

i hope ppl watch this show.....Louis deserves it.

[Curt]

I really like the new show. The smile he kept giving his date cracked me up every time. Also the conversation they had about the word faggot in the beginning of the second episode really moved me.

[brettmojo]

Awesome.

[TheGameHHH]

I'll preface this by saying I think Louis is the funniest stand-up working today. He's literally fucking hysterical. With that said, I laughed maybe 3 or 4 times in the first two episodes and almost all of them came when they cut to him doing his act. I just wasn't that impressed with the first two.

[Fallon]

Only watched the first episode and didn't care for it much and Louis is one of my all time favorite comedians.

I hope it gets better.

[hammersavage]

really? when he moved the black kids closer to the window, i had tears in my eyes.

i thought the first episode was hilarious and the 2nd one was pretty funny too.

[badorties]

really? when he moved the black kids closer to the window, i had tears in my eyes.

thought both episodes were great, but the blinky acting style of Jimmy Norton & and hammy mugging of Nick DiPaolo really seemed out of place

[IamFogHat]

When he told that dog story I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time.

[Gutter]

thought both episodes were great, but the blinky acting style of Jimmy Norton & and hammy mugging of Nick DiPaolo really seemed out of place

i didn't think any of that was acting. jimmy is blinky in real life. Bobby's scene was excellent.

[Kevin]

The first was def funnier than the 2nd one. The 2nd one was decent.

The interaction with the chick was awesome.

[IamFogHat]

That was Jimmy's ex girlfriend btw. And also btw I only know that because of the Marc Maron podcast.

[Gutter]

The first was def funnier than the 2nd one. The 2nd one was decent.

The interaction with the chick was awesome.

him making out with that chick was friggin cringe worthy hahaha...the kids they got to play their younger selves were perfect. really looked the part.

Also, what kind of animal throws away the pizza crust?

Wait, so, he asked the NJ audience to pretend to be from Alabama?

Great. [/sarcasm]

"talk shit about Mobile"... did the actor end it with a hearty "YEeeeeeeeeHaw!!" too?

I hope the banjo playing into music didn't throw him off his routine.


Let it be known.

[underdog]

Yeah, that was a little rough.

[torker]

That was Nick Apollo's finest acting ever.

[thepaulo]

I thought the second episodes opening scene was deftly handled but a little shocking in it's use of profanitities....I know it's FX but still.

[sailor]

That reminds me, some curses were ok but others got bleeped out?

[IamFogHat]

That reminds me, some curses were ok but others got bleeped out?

Yeah, when he would say 'fuck' in his act they bleeped it, but I'm guessing the edited the show that way before giving it to the network, the way record companies do with music for radio, since he knew ahead of time what words they were and weren't allowed to say.

[Gerald]

Love the show so far. It's the first show in over a decade that I'm going to go out of my way to watch, East Bound notwithstanding (which I bought on dvd and didn't witness the original airings of). I reached a point some time ago where I stopped being a tv guy, but for Louis I'll make an exception. I just love his creative and comic sensibilities.

I also went back and listened to his fair, constructive critique of Gap for the dozenth time. Every time I hear this, it climbs higher and higher on my list of all-time favorite O&A broadcasts. Paul O., I don't know if you've listened to it recently, but you have a lot of really funny lines and interjections in there as well. Give yourself credit for hanging tough with a barb-meister like Louis C.K. and being just as integral to the nurturing of radio gold.

Wow. Just watched the first episode and I can't believe what a pile of shit it was. Not one laugh. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Dennis Leary gave a great plug to this show during his interview on the Daily Show last night. Gave Louis CK a lot of props.

[Space Edge]

I think tonights episode is the one where Nick and Louis get in a fight. A few months back it was leaked by an extra and a few places picked it up as a real fight between Nick and Louis.

[DOHO@HOME]

I was able to see the first two shows the other night, I was hoping for more.
It wasn't that bad but I was surprised how much FX let them get away with, wish more cable shows would follow suit.
The show should pick up pace within the next few shows.

Granted, humor is subjective...
Mr. C.K.'s standup is world class. I will say he is one of the funniest of all time, ranking up with the greatest. The show is far from ground breaking in it's approach, but I don't think it's trying to be. While it may be contrived, it's still funnier (based on 2 episodes) than 99.9% of what is be offered as comedy television today.

[danner1515]

I'm loving the show. My only complaint is that FX's time slots for it keep changing on the day of the show, and it makes my DVR delete my scheduled recording. I blame Louis.

That's the funny thing. He works there, not an actor. They needed someone to just play MC, they put a jacket on him and he winged it. He had no idea he'd actually be on the show. I'm telling him that he needs to get paid for it.

I'm sure he signed a form. Or maybe its assumed as an employee. He still didn't know he'd be shown the way he was. And technically its a speaking part.

[Willmore]

Especially if you say lines. If you have lines, you're no longer an extra.

[dino_electropolis]

I never liked Louie C.K., and especially cant stand him in studio. He's humor is always this uber-cool, life sucks guy....i got it....in fact, i've gotten it from plenty of better comedians for years before i ever heard of him.


HOWEVER.....i must say, this tv show has got me hooked....very funny, and actually engaging.....kudos, louie, you annoying prick!

[Fallon]

It's getting progressively better with each episode, really enjoyed last nights.

[realmenhatelife]

One of my favorite parts of the episode is Todd Barry just eating in the background annoyed that Louis and Nick are having a political discussion. I like that the show mixes in some really somber stuff.

[StanUpshaw]

Also the conversation they had about the word faggot in the beginning of the second episode really moved me.

Even though it's bullshit folk etymology? Faggot has been synonymous with homoqueercicle for only around 100 years. Before that it meant a pain in the ass woman; before that it was an old crone. That branch of the "faggot" tree all related to the quality of a faggot (originally, of course, a bundle of sticks) being a burdensome object.

The other branch from the original use of faggot refers to its use as firewood. Indeed, when people were burned at the stake, it was termed "frying a faggot," but that applied not only to the sodomists, but also to the sorcerers, sorceresses, renegades, heretics, treasonists, deserters, etc., etc., etc.

PLUS..."faggot" maintained its original usage for a long time. You'll find cookbooks that instruct you to add a faggot of basil to your stew.

In other words, Louis CK's comedy show on FX should not be used for educational purposes.

Not that part of the conversation but the part of faggot being said to people who were being beaten. It's not like I didn't know it was a hateful word and a word I don't use because of it but there was something about that scene that got to me. I don't know

Tonight's Louie was one of the funniest 1/2 hours of TV I've seen in a long while. The therapist segments were goddamm great
"because...you think you're fat."

Why does Louis want us to think he is a sad, pathetic, miserable excuse for a human being?

[Melk]

Why does Louis want us to think he is a sad, pathetic, miserable excuse for a human being?
He kind of touched upon it during his Unmasked interview. The humor he generates from a dark place get the most laughs. And it seems to be therapeutic for him on some level.

The show works for me, but it might not appeal on a broad level like a Seinfeld or Raymond. I hope for nothing but the best for the guy, but if the show is merely 13 episodes of the current kind of episodes we are getting I will be incredibly pleased with series. It is just great.

How are you liking it, Paul?

I'm catching up on full episodes straight from the FX website, commercial free. The very first episode made me laugh a few times, but there was a huge disconnect between the opening school bus scene and the subsequent dating scenes. Maybe that is what he is going for in this series. I guess I'll find out as I watch more episodes.

[Suspect Chin]

I actually enjoyed the second episode more than the first. I love what he is doing here. Lots of aspects from his show have been done before (stand up comedy cuts, entering dating world after divorce, raising kids, etc.) but he is doing it in an almost variety show kind of way. It's definitely not a sitcom in the traditional sense.

[Crispy123]

I have judged this show and found it humorous and acceptable.

[Willmore]

Was anyone else expecting Louis to wake up eventually and realize it was all a dream?

After the weird dueling cab-drivers sequence, I was 100% sure it was a dream.

[danner1515]

Hey, I was at his Birmingham show a couple of years ago, and I can attest that the crowd was very well behaved. Er, well, the late show anyway.

[Sofa_King]

i'm watching the show as it's posted online and so far (3 episodes in) I think it's brilliant. the scene with Gervais absolutely killed me. I think some of the more "sitcom-y" segments (the awkward date, the school bus incident) are entertaining but not all that strong. meanwhile, everything at the comedy clubs and featuring other comedians is gold, jerry! it's a sharp examination of language, race, and sexual relations in America.

Id like to say that i would bang that C heckler hard..

why call blowhard a C?



and i was totally expecting him to hook up with her outside.

[thepaulo]

I like that scene because Louis is both right and wrong and it seems painfully obvious what a world of shit he lives in. It never even occured to him that there was potential for some angry sex because he was so completely lost in his convoluted sense of right and wrong. I like that.

[StanUpshaw]

You don't think the comics were just fucking with him? You really think he could have nailed her?

[thepaulo]

You don't think the comics were just fucking with him? You really think he could have nailed her?

I do. I think she had a lot of bottled emotion that was looking for release. She obviously has a love/hate relationship with these guys. She might have banged any of them but Louis was the one she had a connection with. If he wasn't such a fucked up prick, it would have happened.

I was really impressed with Bob Kelly's acting in last night's episode. Perhaps he missed his calling as a star of the silver screen.

[Gerald]

hilarious episode.

Probably my 2nd favorite episode behind the one where Louis had the uncomfortable restaurant encounter with the rube's sister.

The announcement of the show's renewal gives me comfort that I'll have something to continue watching once At the Movies goes off the air.

[thepaulo]

The crying outtake was funny

[aceofspades7]

I felt the same way. I dont find him funny on O&A at all, and hes still really disturbing to look at, but he can act a little bit.

Also, Id like to nominate the Louie theme song for worst of all time.

The show reminds me of Seinfeld. Not just because of the stand-up, but also there's a self imposed awkwardness to it.

(As an aside. Louie kind of lost me with the years of marriage counseling stories almost insisting this is the way you're supposed to do it. And "bam" he's divorced and seems to have mastered the skills of that too. A little annoying.)

He's a quick learner.

By the way, the show has some of the most natural dialogue on TV.

I used that comparison yesterday when describing the show to my brother.

But I also said that Louie isn't as "Jewy". After living in NYC, Seinfeld is definitely how the Upper West Side lives. Louie is more like how the rest of the city lives.

I didn't say the situations are natural, but the dialogue and the way the exposition works is very conversational, without the 2 minute long soliloquies you see elsewhere on TV.

So the chick from his last laugh out loud funny episode is back for tonights show. Hope it is another good one.

[TripleSkeet]

Ive watched the first 6 episodes so far. I think the show is fucking brilliant and hilarious.

still funny

i felt high that whole episode. well done.

[Enabler]

The scene where he went to get coffee captured the excruciatingly painful experience of being hungover or too high and going out in public. Just not caring or understanding what the fuck everyone else around you is doing or saying. Yet still feeling assaulted by them. Nicely done.

I loved how the one girl was muttering jibberish and then said 'republican'.

[StanUpshaw]

I really enjoy the show. It definitely has a Davidian quality to it, though I also really enjoy when it floats into complete fantasy.

I have to be honest, I fast forward through the standup segments. His on-stage shtick (like nearly every comic) is so fucking tiresome. "The world is horrible, but I'm apathetic. I hope you get AIDS. Little girl vagina."

[Melk]

I watched the mom and the neighbor episodes last night. Both were incredibly funny.

I feel like Louis is beginning to create a clearer unified storyline. I was satisfied by the one-shot quality of the previous episodes, but I feel good that they are trying to include more of the characters and concepts from the previous episodes.

Bob Kelly is actually really, really good.

I was hoping to see more of that one chick in the last episode. The only episode I "LOL" at was the one she was in. Shes in californication, too bad she wasnt in more of the last episode.

"Dr- Listen sex seems very complicated and confusing but its very simple the man takes his penis puts it into a womans vagina and he ejactulates and she dies....

Louie- She Dies????

The interaction was cringe-induced and great...but the pay-off wasn't worth the time.

Preachy indeed!

I hate to judge too harshly, but I've only found two of the episodes solid (so far).

Mostly uneven, but he's doing it on his own, so who am I to complain?

Why Ronnie B. loves it like it's a "Jesus Vision", I'll never understand.

It's not even CLOSE TO CURB.

We can all predict every move he makes, so there's NO SURPRISE left for COMEDY.

My favorite bits are just the stand-up. Those are solid.

Everything else is FORCED.

Yep! And I loved last night's episode.

you were going to comment on the nice use of the ny exterior shots

[Recyclerz]

Did anyone else think of Fez when Louis had the "Who starts blowing guys at 42?" line?

Yep; also had a twinge of deja vu of his "beef" with ESD when he mock-apologized and asked to be let out of the jungle. The radio bit seems like a first draft of this episode now.

[TripleSkeet]

I just watched the episode where he got bullied by the high school kids. I cant remember the last time Ive been so pissed off watching a tv show before. I just kept wanting him to pick up the stool and smash that kids face in.

[hammersavage]

he made a great point last night.

9/11 was a pretty dick move.

Last nights episode was bizarre to say the least. I thought the stand up was pretty good though.

Im digging this show.

did not laugh for a second tonight, can't wait to hear how ya'll thought it was an incredible episode

i'm pretty sure tonight wasn't supposed to be funny. that was the point.

it was still awesome and interesting.

oh and really fucked up.

[Dan G]

I loved it, even though it had disturbing moments. You basically saw how religion fucked up his beliefs at an early age. Those actions molded him into how he views religion now as an adult.

[StanUpshaw]

It was shit.

More comedy and less vanity plz.

There's NO WAY it meant to be funny. And I thought it was great.

[keithy_19]

There's NO WAY it meant to be funny. And I thought it was great.

The only parts meant to be funny were the stand-up parts (obviously) and I think the ending with the kid taking a shit on the front porch made me chuckle a little.

But as someone who went to church till he was 18 that feeling of being fearful/guilty of God is very true. Granted, I wasn't brought up Catholic so I think the guilt was probably a lot less. Still, the rapture fucked with me as did the crucifixtion.

Good to know the Bible never mentions rapture.

[sailor]

There's NO WAY it meant to be funny. And I thought it was great.

there's been a lot of that recently. actually, the church shit was pretty funny in how fucked up it was.

[Fugitive]

Hadn't followed Louie but now I've watched the whole series on Hulu. Loved the show, but it's not comedy when he does the stand-up, it's tragedy. If he didn't sell the laugh, or if you just had a dry transcript of what he's saying, it's just a string of morose self-deprecation.

Dangerfield was self-deprecation, but he made that fun with the old time joke schtick, the bug eyes, and the nervous tie-twisting kind of mannerisms. Louie's comedy is just a bummer. That works in the context of the show, but as a stand-up it's not really my cup of tea. Love the show, but his comedy is not fun to me.

[Zorro]

Feel like one of the few people in the O&A listener universe that thinks Louie is just OK.

[CountryBob]

Yeah, he's OK

After premiering to a decent number for its 11PM Tuesday night timeslot, the show has suffered a notable ratings decline. The critical darling has nonetheless attracted enough eyeballs to warrant more time on the cable network.


Apparently I am not alone. But I don't give a shit one way or the other. I just find the pontificating on marriage and children annoying.

Louie was fucking great on o&a yesterday. His anecdotes about making the show and also his intelligent argument against censoring the word nigger out of huck finn were great to listen to. Fucking love this guy

Since the internet started, has there ever been a quote quoted that is actually a quote from the person supposedly quoted???

I pulled up the interview on YouTube and Opie related this "quote" from Mark Twain: "Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it."

Good luck finding an attribution. I can't find it appearing anywhere earlier than 2001.

I remember ronnie talking about how great the last episode made new york look and wanted to go back and see what he said but theres barely any ron and fez on the youtubes.

I don't know what the hell you're rambling about, but there are almost 2,000 Ron and Fez clips on YouTube.

Louis CK's show is streaming on Netflix, if that's what you want. However, it has NOTHING to do with Ron and/or Fez.

Good luck, Budday!!

To me the guy is very entertaining because he brings common sense arguments like Carlin did.You wouldn't compare their styles or content,but attitude."I'm right,and I'll tell you why"very reasonable.I'm always willing to listen to reason and dick jokes.That's why I read everything by Death Metal Moe. Gotcha. Catch my youtube vids opening for Metallica singing "Ecstasy of Gold" by Ennio Morricone. When Jim was on his Louis show on HBO I was thinking,yeah it works for me,but it's just not mainstream enough and the set is depressing,so what do the HBO people pay to watch for decades?Sensationalism that you couldn't get on MAINSTREAM,a reaction to PBS pussyland.Just a thought. http://fetishlands.com/ I can only make suggestions.Some get it.Stern did.:king::help::blink::clap::smile: I sing like a bitch daily on O&A.O&A did.

Damn, that started out as a lucid (albeit grammatically abysmal) thought, then it way off the rails. By the end, as I was reading I could hear Ronnie in the back of my head was Ron whispering, "Medication time..."

[Fugitive]

I caught one of Louis' shows on TV and watched the rest of season 1 on Hulu. I've never heard his "act" outside that show and I've never heard him interviewed, but I loved the show.

I think he's got a great comic persona on the show. The opener where he's wolfing down the pizza and staring at the passing crowd really sums it up for me. He's a guy who is hyper aware of his surroundings but doesn't do shit in terms of "impression management" to get over. That's something that just won't fit into today's society.

I don't think the show will ever be truly "mainstream" for that reason, because most of the populace does the exact opposite of what he's doing--they try to manage other's impressions of them, but insulate themselves from what they're experiencing with constant distraction and escapism. Seinfeld played with the "triviality of reality" concept on his show, but he made it cutesy and mainstream, and at the end, somewhat slapstick. Louis doesn't pull those punches--he shows you the whole sad deal of being real.

[jlehane]

He's in a different league than Seinfeld with no laughtrack and microsecond timing of a hip-funk bass player standing in the control booth telling you when to react.Read the script Jerry.Wait for the Laugh Jerry.Make a face....now HOLLLLLD That.Perfect.React to Kramer now.annd cut.Oh so tired.Nappy...we need nappy.Tell us when to laugh again uncle Jerry,tell it again.:wacko:

So far this seasons Louie has focused so much on the funny sad sack life of Louie, it's very funny, but makes me so glad to be in a happy marriage. He makes middle age single look miserable. Tonights episode was a scream, but then I felt bad for him. So well done.
