Are you watching Louie? If you're not, you are an idiot.

"He's offensive, he's rude, he's honest, he's funny, he's REAL. This could very well be the best television show in the history of television as far as comedy goes."

Amen.

I mean... Jesus Z Christ. The latest trio of episodes where he tries to get the hosting job for the Letterman Show were freaking brilliant (modeled after Rocky BTW), but there have been plenty of brilliant moments prior... including the episode where he fucks Joan Rivers, and the one where he sits with Chloe Sevigny in a cafe while she masturbates.

Please tell me you are watching this. This is by far the best show on television, and it's not fucking close.

These people don't deserve us.

truth

But we have to share our truth, or we'll take it with us to the grave my friend.

At least with us, the truth is in good company. It will guard our crypts for eternity like the Pharaoh's favorite cat.

I have to catch up. Last I watched was the Robin Williams episode. The strip club scene had me rolling. Parker Posey episode was Godlike.

Louie has been godding it up for a long time, welcome to the club vwls.

Been meaning to start this for the longest time, firing up the first episode now.

I knew sonatine would be watching the god damn hell out of that shit.

word up son!

Honest opinion I saw Louis Secord or whatever his name and found him to be a less funny Seinfeld and he had no problem stealing his premise. He is funny, but I know of others a lot funnier

IMO Louie Anderson is funnier



While were talking about old fucks have you see this colossal embarrassment from Eddy Money in his new commercilal

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG0t5...e=results_main

He's the funniest man in America. First season of the show was great, second season was much much worse.

It's annoying that his baby momma is Black as shit but his kids are as white as they come.

Watched the chatshow episode online because of this thread, had a bit of a curb vibe about it but unlike curb I didnt laugh once and found some of the scenes really cringeworthy. Maybe I just picked a bad ep.

Why you gotta call me names, Vwls?

That's one of the gems of the show, I thought. He's had a few different people play his mother, a few played his sister too I think. Continuity is not something to look for in this series.

Yeah, I get the whole joke/gem thing, but this is just so obvious that it makes it seem stupid, I don't mind them changing the actresses etc... but its just so obvious that that woman did not birth those children that it loses me a bit

That is in itself in as sad statement

The current season is frankly unbelievably good. TV is mostly crap - this renews my faith.

As far as who is the funniest stand up - this is not about that. Watch the show, and you'll understand.

That's the saddest part to me. Louie may be the best but he ripped off the Seinfeld schtick 100%.. There are even some jokes from Seinfeld that he has worked with.

Louie is a sad, more depressing version of curb. it is still gold though.

To me there is nothing funnier than someone taking an everyday situation and expounding on it, without vulgarity etc. Take the Seinfeld can't find the car in the parking lot show.


Bill Cosby was the king of this......every day stuff that when dissected was real life fun

Seriously, did you not think this Is a Seinfeld ripoff when you first saw it.......that was the first thing that entered my mind

i mean, yeah, it is basic larry david style comedy.

I really disagree. Sure the comedy types intersect, but Louie is much darker and not as laugh out loud silly-funny. Louie makes you think and makes you feel melancholy for the hopelessness of the human condition. Its a whole different style and core purpose, and it leaves you feeling depressed, but enriched. Sonatine, can you weigh in here?

Les is our tragic figure like Norman Maine walking into the ocean in "A Star is Born"

oh what a heavy load he must carry.

and yeah, Louis CK's comedy is not similar to Seinfeld's. If any comparison could be made, you could say he's a white Chris Rock with his material.

I think the show now is possibly the best thing on television right now.

Yes... Thank you. Not sure about the Chris Rock comparison.., but yes on it being the best show on TV.

This last episode was the most depressing one yet, if that's even possible. But the scene in the beginning where he is trying to fix the doll had us literally rolling on the floor.

In this episode of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee"

Mel Brooks and Jerry Seinfeld discuss Louis C.K. at the 8:40 mark.

It's very compelling.

Sopranos/East Bound and Down style break for season 4. Won't air until 2014.

FX mostly leaves him alone to make the exact show he wants to make. And he's decided that, in order to keep making exactly what he wants, he needs some extra time to do it.

Best Doctor ever.

Plowed through the rest two seasons recently.

Really good mixture of black humor and poignancy. Some of the episodes, like the one with his old comic friend Eddie, the one with the high school bully etc. hit like a punch to the gut.

Looking forward to watching season 3

Link for season 3?

Rewatching some of the older episodes - I think the show got better as it progressed, but every episode has gold in it.

I love the fact that as he got more confident in his voice and vision, he expanded his creative role, and it worked.

The Dane Cook appearance is such an absolutely brilliant meta mindfuck, like, not since The Larry Sanders Show have I experienced anything like that, and I think its testimony to how deeply impressed the industry is with his accomplishments that Dane Fucking Cook would feel comfortable stepping into that part.

Also the suggestion that his show is basically derivative of Curb and Seinfeld is totally correct; they all feature people being funny.


Herp.

Also the whole Jay Leno "I used to be the cool guy" convo was so poignant and so obviously, painfully sincere..
