Louie (Louis C.K.'s show on FX)

Gawker ruins everything.

gawker, buzzfeed, it's basically all the same site, right?

The sleepover episode was fantastic

liked that road 2 episode a bunch, just as an experiment in screwing around with emotional tones

yea loved it

is that "our" jordan?

no

me & my podcast anonymity

wut

has Kirkman toured with CK? I can't think of anyone else she'd be referencing, other than maaaaybe Chris Rock at a stretch (he did remake Cleo de 5 a 7 after all)

Love in the Afternoon, I thought, but yeah.

d'oh, yes. that one.

also CK has been divorced for, what, 7 years? If it was him this happened awhile back given that she said the comic was married.

me & my podcast anonymity

wut

Did she say CK's name on the podcast? No. She didn't name anyone. That's what anonymous means in this situation in case you're curious.

I get that, but she got pretty damn specific in that description (especially the "new material every year" bit, which, how many currently very famous, beloved comics could)

*could that be

Did she say CK's name on the podcast? No. She didn't name anyone. That's what anonymous means in this situation in case you're curious.

thats not what the words she said mean in case youre wondering

I think "and anonymity is a thing I do on purpose" is a separate clause split up over the 2 tweets

She didn't say "podcast anonymity"

last two "touring" eps of the show struck me as decidedly unfunny, inside baseball comedy. is that it for the season?

i will give clues as to who this person is but how dare u speculate! that wld bring negativity to anonymity

its interesting generally how ppl are will to say things in podcasts they wldnt say in print but like its still public do they know

is that it for the season

Yup, and the reason behind the shorter episode order is completely fitting w/ the hit-and-miss quality of the season imo

Robert Smigel got a story credit on this season's "Cop Story" because an incident like that really happened to him, down to the cop crying in his apartment while Smigel went out, found the missing gun and carried it home, terrified that anyone would notice.

Are you making fun of Kirkman for your own inability to follow one tweet to another?

The guy who wrote that post does seem like I drip, so much hemming and hawing and buck-passing before ultimately doing the same basic thing gawker did

lol follow one tweet to another ok bud

when you drip I drip we drip

fwiw concerned ppl of this thread i understand what shes saying, the question is does what shes saying make any sense, it does not

What the fuck are you talking about lagoon

is english your first language

i mean i sympathize with her shes in exactly the uncomfortable spot she spoke about wanting to avoid, is lashing out incoherantly at people who speculated on what she was saying a good or appropriate responce, no

she wrote: "it only brought negativity to my podcast and anonymity is a thing I do on purpose."

so your "that wld bring negativity to anonymity" joke is an inability to follow one tweet to the next

i understood what u were saying i just thought yr phrasing was funny in the context of someone not being able to read and so forth

you are weird

ur weird

let's say it is ck she's talking about and she's nervous about making it public bc it might damage her career. would that explain why she has pro-ck comments retweeted + posted all over her twitter feed?

http://oi61.tinypic.com/2a5c6ki.jpg

its prob just not him

well she's tweeted plenty of praise for Chris Rock too so

maybe its neither of them

is there a third once-married on-his-grind new-material-every-time french filmmaker wannabe at the cosby level? unless she's talking opening for woody allen jazz dates i can't think of one

maybe the french film part is a red herring

yall i'm the comedian who masturbates in front of people

to be clear, i sympathize with her - she's trying to describe a shit situation no one should have to deal with and at worst she's bad at blind iteming

yeah this is all p weird but y'know people are complicated (also fwiw her new special is really funny)

Is Louis CK really as powerful as all that? Serious question here.

i'm sure he's powerful enough that publicly accusing him would be uncomfortable. he has friends, some connections, etc. otoh he seems like the kind of guy that if an accusation ever came out he might just admit & apologize. i def don't think he's as powerful as these stories are making him out to be - most powerful man in comedy? maybe standup comedy? how about like adam sandler or seth rogan or kevin james who have huge hollywood careers? or jeff dunham, russell peters, kevin hart, or terry fator? idk.

I would say powerful mostly in the sense that his fanbase could make life a real pain in the ass for quite a while

But yeah if he ever tries to go negative on accusers about it that's the end of his rep forever

dude is such a heroic figure to his scene and considering the crap that comes with making rape accusations about celebrity, making "he's creepy and showed me his dick" accusations would seem to ask for even more hemming, hawing and scrutiny from shitbirds (not to mention everything the fedora squad would get up to). and if he did say "yeah, i was a REAL CREEP around the time of my divorce, sorry i freaked anybody out and here's an hour about it" it would be In Character and quickly forgiven as clueless game-lacking, while the accusers would be known as The Women Who Couldn't Just Let Louie's Slip-Up Slide which would probably be toxic for a comedy career. It's just a shitty situation and there's likely no world where CK would be the one getting most of the shit, even though he'd be the one at fault.
