I know that, but put me on the main stage and I will do well, next to Daface!

I like it, in the fact , even if it's not a homer every time, it's always got a few laughs. For his, fans, and that's who it's written for are a different breed. I don't want a dumbed down, mass audience, comedy go turn on "Mike and Molly.' for that crap. FX supports edgy programing, and have been better for it. "Justified"/ "SOA"/ "Nip/Tuck"/ "The Shield" for example. Sure a few misses as well, "Terriers"/ "Wilford"/ but nonetheless trying new stuff.

Terriers was a miss? Get the **** out of this thread and also life.

Wilfred is a miss? Go watch CBS.

Wilfred was a miss early on with me, but I like it now.

The pot smoking stuff doesn't work so well for me, I don't 'get' it (can't relate), but the sexual humor...

I actually haven't watched Louie since the episode with the old lady who died. That one just didn't work at all for me. But I've got the others dvr'd and might watch them now, now that I'm thinking about it.

The episode with Bob Saget and Dane Cook was awesome. LMAO

Well, the episode with eddie was kind of depressing, but god damn that masturbation episode with the blonde chick may be the funniest thing I've seen all year.

Let me get this straight, tossed salads and sex with stuffed animals you can relate to. Sitting on the couch saying stupid stuff is just too abstract of a concept for you to grasp.:hmmm:.......;)

Never found it all that funny. Not my kind of humor.

Epic Louie last night. I'm talking O'Henry level shit.

Edit to Add:

Wasn't too funny, too nervous that the boys weren't going to laugh. Very good though. Could have done without the duck nonsense.

Just had a chance to watch this episode. Wow. That was impressive.

Can't wait. Louis CK is the best comic in the business right now imo. I love "Louie" and I even loved "Lucky Louie" a lot too.

Anything that gets Pamela Adlon on TV without having to be the quirky son of a propane salesman [though she's great as Bobby, too] is fine by me.

Do you like music?

Yeah, I like all kinds.

Do you like Led Zeppelin?

I . . . don't . . .

Do you like Van Halen?

I don't know what you're . . .

You don't like them, or you don't know what I'm talking? . . .

I don't what you're talking about.

What about Aerosmith?

Whaaaa? . . .

Steven Tyler, he was in Aerosmith

Oh, yeah. He's a judge on American Idol.





So sad, so relatable.

Anyone watching this season?

The episodes have been pretty weird so far.

Yeah I'm watching. It's almost become a sad drama of a single 40 something year old man with kids.

Of course I'm watching. Last week's episode was one of the finest half-hours of television I've ever seen.

Yeah, I love the direction he has taken the show.

Not at all surprised that you liked it.

Yeah it is almost uncomfortable to watch. I liked last season but this season is strange. The best part of the show is the 1-2 minutes of stand-up at the beginning.

I'm pretty sure this is a compliment. This is a compliment, right guys?

Not a compliment or insult, just an observation. From reading your posts over the years you seem to have a contrarian personality and enjoy episodes/shows that others dislike (like "Fly" in Breaking Bad).

I don't set out to be contrarian. It just so happens that the majority of people don't appreciate in art what I appreciate. "Fly" is a great example: it is chock-full of the things in which I most love about Breaking Bad, but it is almost entirely lacking in the things that I'd say most people who watch BB like about BB.

It's why most people don't care about movie reviews anymore. People feel disconnected with critics, and I suppose it is because critics care too much about the area in which they write criticism. It's more than entertainment to critics.

Louie is a perfect example. It doesn't get great ratings. People wish it was funnier, that it was more comedy-driven. But many critics think it's a top 3 show on TV.

They aren't trying to be contrarian. Their tastes no longer match the general public. Both approaches towards tv or film or etc. are totally valid, even if people from one approach hate people who take the other approach.

I liked "Fly". I didn't think it was especially great compared to the other episodes in the season, but I enjoyed it all the same. I wish Louie was more comedy driven this season, but only because he's so damn capable at making me laugh. Yet I still appreciate the drama he's bringing to the show now (don't know if I'd call it drama, but you know what I mean). Plus it's still funny at times.

I've seen discussion on other forums about the differences between invested viewers and relaxation viewers. The lament is that some TV programming has become so good that it's no longer a veg-out pastime. So there's still a sizable contingent of the viewing public who opt for the familiarity of L&O and CSI, or watch the 'good' shows for the explosions or slapstick.

LOL

They hate me in Kansas City...

Kansas City is the worst city is North America, and that includes Mexico and Canada.

LOL

Yeah, WTF Louie? I used to think he just had to pick a random city, and KC was the unlucky choice, but he was pretty specific... "Stanford and Sons"

Not the first time Louie has blasted KC:

http://www.pitch.com/plog/archives/2...ght-show-video

But hey, he thinks the people that live there are nice, so that's a good thing...I guess.

He must have had a really bad experience in KC or something.

You have to watch his bit about getting high in Kansas City. It's hilarious. Also, he said in a Reddit Q&A thingy that he likes Kansas City, but "loves shitting on it on live TV for some reason."

"So I'm driving on this highway in Missouri, and I suddenly realize... I think it's been about 20 minutes since I looked out the front window of this car."

Oh I remember that lol. Yeah he's been doing standup for a long ass time. Surely he had some kind of bad experience here. To be honest though, a lot of parts of KC are a shithole. Some of the suburbs are really nice though. Considering I've been living in Tulsa...Overland Park area is a hell of a lot nicer.

Daddy's Girlfriend 1 & 2 were really amazing. Parker Posey played a perfect crazy lady. And Louie played it up perfectly in that he knew she was crazy, but was having so much fun he couldn't really fault her for being crazy. I just really enjoyed the whole dynamic they had going there.

I wonder if she'll ever even be mentioned again? I doubt it. The show doesn't seem to have much continuity at all. Which is cool with me.

I agree. I love it, but I understand why some hate it. If I walk west to the first intersection I see on my street at the wrong time of day, it's Rape City. And, you know, the MLB, ESPN, everyone involved in the All-Star Game, and Google have been sucking our city's collective cock through the month of July, so it feels good to get made fun of for a change.

It isn't supposed to...

I know, I was just sayin. Doubt we'll see her again, which is a shame.

That was always the best part of the show

Great episode tonight.

Looks like it has continuity sometimes...

Yep

That poor doll.


ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

That Poor man.

:deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee::deevee:

That wonderful man.

Awesome ep. I so just want to take off to China and wander around.

That warmed my tiny, shriveled heart.

It was perfect.

I love this show.

How in the world did I miss this entire season. Me=fail.

I haven't seen a frame of the 3rd season. Just got caught up on the first two seasons on Netflix.

But, I think this is an outstanding show. Easily one of my favorites right now. Top 5 absolutely, probably top 3.

Season Two started off a little wonky for my taste. But it quickly improved. I laughed, out loud, harder than I expected, but I love how subtle and human the show is. It's best when it's more than dick and fart jokes - which, I thought, were pretty heavy bookends to the show.

Also, Reaper's right.

Probably not anymore, no...

LMAO Probably not

The doll scene was some of the funniest tv I've seen in a long time.

I still can't figure out if he's miserable, though. Ultimately I don't think he is, I think he loves NY (which is what made the trip to China so interesting/wrenching; he had to get out of a city he clearly has great affinity for). He loves his daughters. He just can't seem to get over the hump...but doesn't really seem to care.

The show kinda seems to just boil down to little more than a show about middle-aged malaise from a guy that should probably be more successful than he is but doesn't seem too broken up about it. Then again, apathy can be viewed as a form of depression...

Eh, !@#$ it, I like it and that's about all that matters.

The guy seems to be afraid of what the future may hold. And aren't we all?

That doll scene was one of the funniest bits ever.

Really funny. So I take it he just went out and bought a new doll?

Back tonight.

I love this show.

He might be the most honest comic ever about what people love, fear, and hate...

2 good episodes last night. I particularly liked the 2nd one. He went from a trainwreck situation to a dream situation back to an even bigger trainwreck situation. I love his sick sense of storytelling lol.

The second episode was pretty funny. The end of the first episode was funny, too. Didn't really think the first part of ep 1 was funny at all. I understand the point he was making about the garbage men, and that was funny, but like a lot of Family Guy skits, it just went on too long.

I agree with this. The 2nd was so well done. Shit to dream to shit. Only Louie could have done that. Seinfeld playing a less sympathetic person was a different turn for him.

How did you throw out your back???? Pointing to a dildo I wanted for masturbation.... hilarious.

Had some good guest spots in those two. Aside from his comedian friends, Charles Grodin and Yvonne Strahovsky were great.
