So funny.

It's on FX on Tuesday nights.

It's Louis C.K. but for 22 mins.  As far as I can tell, every episode is written and directed by him, so it's all him all the time.

It's available on Hulu too.

Last night's episode was pretty creep.  One of the best shows on television.  At times it's pretty fucking avante-garde

I tried to watch it but couldn't really stand it after about 20 minutes of the first episode. I'm not one who shies away from depressing, cynical shit obviously, but it was too fucking cynical even for me.

We love this show, but we love all that is Louis CK. Glad to see his last TV wife get a cameo. His old show was so awesome. The new one is good, but the old one was really, really good. I do like the way the new one bounces all over the place.

Very excited to see him in Albany.

Give it a second look.  Reminds me of the first season of Seinfeld.  Unless you didn't dig early Seinfeld, which a lot of people don't.

I mean, last night's episode featured about a minute of Louie in a bathroom calling out a guy who was about to stick his dick in a glory hole with the word "heaven" and an arrow drawn in marker pointing to it.  Then the next 21 minutes went through a dream sequence (through the glory hole) time warp where it's entirely about Louie as a little kid and being in Catholic school.  A nun recruits a rather macabre doctor to explicitly describe the torture and execution of Jesus Christ via medical lexicon to the class in order to impress upon them the gravity of Christ's sacrifice.


Young Louie is so freaked out he runs to the church in the middle of the night with pliers and removes the statue of Jesus from the cross, and is found the next morning cradling the statue of Christ's body with tear-stained cheeks while whimpering he's sorry.  Then his Mom and he have a heart-to-heart where she confides in him that religion is all bullshit so he'll feel better, and says he doesn't have to go to Catholic school anymore.  Then they head off to get donuts. Credits roll.  Seriously.


Like I said.  Pretty fucking avante-garde.

I love this show. It's just so random.

Stephen Root as the creepy dentist was comedy gold a couple of episodes back.

And then the episode before that, where it was about the bully that basically emasculated Louie in front of his date and then Louie following the kid home and talking to his dad on the steps? That was good TV.

Until last night's episode I really wasn't sure, but this show is amazing.
It started out with a very different tone than where it's ending up lately.
The last three or so episodes have been "sucker punch heavy" part way into them.
At first I almost didn't like this or at least wasn't sure what was going on.... Now? I'm completely floored.
I've never seen a show that can move me from laughing hysterically to feeling almost uncomfortable over the course of about 5 minutes.

I can't wait to see where it goes if it sticks around.

The Christ episode was really tits.

Yea man, this is some pretty groundbreaking shit.  Shades of Seinfeld season 1.

Hmm...

Man, that was an epic drunk tweeting binge he went on last night.  The highlight was the one directed to Palin's tweet feed: "kudos to your dirty hole, you fucking jackoff cunt-face jazzy wondergirl."

Wow.

Good to see misogyny is alive and well.

The best one so far (out of 10) is Ep 6: Heckler / Cop Movie. 

Shut the fuck up you weenie.  Misandry is alive and well too.

That's the one we try and show to people who come over and haven't seen it. The things he says to that woman are so ridiculous it's great.
Thinking about episodes...
I think the first episode is actually a solid intro to the whole show. They did a good job on that. I especially like the Bully one though because of the ending. Didn't work out at all. Sounds about right.

blah blah blah REPUBLICAN blah blah

Fana na na na nana STEPHANIE nana fana.

"The mayor has scheduled a news conference for 2 PM today where he is expected to smear his shit all over my fat natural boobs."

Enunciate it more.  :heart:

I can't believe they can get away with that language on FX.

You can say whatever you like on FX, besides fuck and cunt.

Hahahha. No way.

This starts back up again Thursday.  :awesome_for_real:

Or cocksucker.  Cock is ok, though.

Oh shit, that's awesome.

Know if Hulu is going to carry the second season?

I've only seen the first 4-5 episodes of the first season so I guess I should catch up before the new season, not that there's really any continuity. Futurama starts up again Thursday as well.

While it's still worth watching, it doesn't seem to be as funny this season.  :heartbreak:

Necroing this thread to announce that I have discovered this show on Hulu and it's making me LOL.

I watched a few episodes of this because of the thread.  I thought it was funny, also, depressing.  The depression easily eclipsed the funny however so I'm definately not watching anymore.  I like to feel better after watching a comedy not worse...  Probably not an issue if you aren't inclined to depression yourself and don't empathize with him.

For those that don't know already, Louie has a video of a live performance for sale on his site here (https://buy.louisck.net/) for $5, drm free and no region restrictions. 

I don't know who's still watching this, but that last episode was amazing. This show needs some Emmys.

 :awesome_for_real:

I hope someone puts his Emmy speech up, his Comedy Award speeches were pretty good. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw0ZVcVoFqQ)

I thought he got one Sunday night.  Maybe for writing?  I don't care enough to google it.

Yep. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO5GsEyO3wo)
