bouche Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Can't wait for. I can't believe how big Louis C.K. has become in the last couple of years. He's sitting with THE biggest names in comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was hilarious. His latest HBO show wasn't the same type of humour but I really enjoyed that too...but that wasn't the same type of humour.

SaggyBalls Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 +1 for enjoying lucky louie It was way funnier than two and a half men but it was on HBO. Had it been on a network we wouldn't have to hear about Charlie as much - but wouldn't likely have the same awesome Louis CK to laugh at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybone Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 No, I watched maybe two episodes. Probably not enough to really give it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backbacon Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Lucky Louie is funny stuff! Watch more than a couple episodes if you don't think so. His stand up Os about as funny as his drunken airplane tweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 you kinda gotta watch the whole series. it is really funny....also the point of the low budget thing was to mimic the old sit coms like The Newlyweds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I just saw this thread now, by chance and co-incidence. FWIW, "Louie" does not get funny until the third episode, but it is hysterically funny when it hits its stride. The last episode isn't anymore worth watching than the first (ie, neither are funny) .. not sure what happened there. But 3 - 12 deserve your time if his humour is your type of thing.The really cool thing is that it isn't just his stand-up recycled, which Lucky Louie was. It is new material with actual character development.if i take a look at a piece of dog sh!t in my yard twice, I'm certain that if I go back for a third look it'll still be a piece of dog sh!t.Yeah, but dog-shit isn't a laborious process of writing and a lot of network-execs to navigate. I'm going to guess that after the show was tanking, the execs said "fine, you know what, just roll with your initial vision before we pull the plug, we've got nothing left to loose". Dogs just shit.

d_rawk Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Talking Funny torrentPS. someone with a better memory than my own insists that Louie doesn't get funny until the fourth episode, not the third. I defer to her assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 This looks like it will be a f'in riotNot a riot, now that I am about half-way through, but I really like it. People didn't like Comedian either, but I liked that it was about the grittiness and hard-work of the business.Seeing Seinfield try to deliver Louis C.K. lines is priceless. He's entirely too wholesome to pull it off!I don't understand the internal process of comedy as I am just about the most unfunny person in the world - I tend to want shit to be so painful upon their realizations that you want to fix it, and fast. Comedians are really interesting in that they can call attention to things - even awful things - in a way that is pleasurable. Carlin was supremely good at this, but I digress.Louis CK: sex is such a confusing thing in in my life.Therapist: Listen, sex is something very simple. The man takes his penis, puts it into the womans vagina, and she dies.Louis CK: She dies?Therapist: Oh, I was thinking of something else.[much later]Louis CK: I can't .. I just can't get organized. I feel like my whole life .. I'm just overwhelmed by everything that I have to do.Therapist: Have you ever heard of someone dying, and then you got an erection?Louis CK: What? No! That's never happened to me.Therapist: That happened to me.I do love to see the internal machinations of what happens to make funny happen (my interest in 'machinations' of any sort likely being the very reason that I am the most unfunny person in the world) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
