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

seeing him on sunday, can't wait

wish he was coming to Portland. I saw him about 2 years ago and it was great. He did material I've never heard him do before or since. I think he really tries out a ton of new material all the time, so every show is unique.

i just watched this whole show in one evening. :o so good. my fav comedy show since arrested development. wonderfully unique.

i'm actually going to watch it all again right away

im going to see him stand up in november, p psyched

am listening to a bootleg mp3 of his new standup set and... hahahahahaha omg. he actually gets a couple of kinison-level rants going in places, it's pretty impressive. the best thing is just his eye for tiny details though. tiny, tiny details that somehow spin out into, i dunno, the pros and cons of cow-fucking.

ysi/leo?

^^

wish he was coming to Portland.

He is in November. I have tickets even!

Sweet! Hope it's not sold out yet.

Was last time I checked (yesterday). The Seattle show had seats left.

Yep sold out unless you want to shell out $100+. Oh well, that's what I get for not paying attention to this stuff.

Don't forget about his special airing on Epix tonight! You can get a free invite to watch it at epixhd.com, in the US at least (not sure about other countries).

Where do you go to get the invite?

nm, figured it out

I just came back from seeing him perform. He was funny and I'm sorry it had to end when it did. For some reason, he didn't do any material about cow fucking, even though he was in Wisconsin. He did say that he'd picked Milwaukee to film his last special in because he liked our attitude, which was cool and something I hadn't even known before. Thanks for the link, Jouster!

I have my invite, good to go!

For some reason, the link crapped out on me after an hour of play. Thankfully, there are other ways of getting the show online as of today...

he was so good last night

ha, he was nothing but derisive towards madison ("i flew in an opener with my own money because you are a tertiary market with no funny people", "if it wasn't for work i would never, ever come here", etc.). his opener kind of sucked btw.

or sorry, it was something like "why would i come to madison in the middle of my life if it wasn't for money".

madison can't take a joke either, apparantly

i didn't say it wasn't funny! i was laughing along with the rest of the theater.

assumed it was general schtick though - apparently he differentiates between places in wisconsin.

Louie: the new The Wire

http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=lucky_louie

Haha, great title.

The notion that white people carry an inherent privilege is, of course, a lefty one.

Those damn lefties and their crazy, unfounded notions.

my eyebrow arched a bit at that sentence

saw him do some standup, damn this motherfucker funny

I was rewatching Louie the other day - some dodgy bits here and there, but there's nothing else remotely like it.

gf and i saw louie doin' the standup a couple weeks back. seriously amazing times, would/will see again.

He's a pro, no doubt. And jeez, what a workhorse. Blows my mind that he writes all new material for each new show he does.

score to this is pretty sweet

Saw Louis 2 Fridays ago at the Moore. He's the best (for lack of better phrase) dude comedian that talks raw but doesn't become this anti-woman monster. I really enjoyed his set.

does anybody remember that tweet he did about not watching his show online for ratings reasons? can u help me find it?

I remember it, something about how it doesn't count for his benefit if you watch on Hulu or download on iTunes, wasn't it?

Don't see it among his tweets now, but he's deleted a lot of them. (Mostly the drunk ones where he calls Sarah Palin a cunt.)

for the show's benefit re: renewal, I mean

i watched it on netflix on demand. i hope that's okay. also, it was great!

abbott said something in the other thread about how delightful his facial expressions are. it's true; they're my favorite thing!

Love when he hits a joke so good in his bit that even he has to break character and smile a little. Like, universal truths so universal and funny that even the teller is not immune.

i really don't understand when people say things like this. it's definitely kind of all over the place and several different kind of shows depending on what part of what episode you're watching, but imo pretty much all those kinds of shows have been done before individually.

It has a homemade feel, I'd say.

i can't argue with that, i just see it as more of a weakness than a strength

the rapid tone shifts feel pretty unique, esp as unlike most sitcoms which move from lolz/comedy to seriousheartfelt/awws, Louie moves from lolz/comedy to frightening/reality. it's like a combo between a very well-written entry into the overweight pathetic male sitcom canon and like the wire (hyperbole but srs social commentary)

any help re: that tweet would be appreeshed

hey slocki I trawled through his whole twitter timeline & there's nothing along those lines. He actually tells people its on Netflix, Itunes etc, a number of times...theres nothing about not watching it online. Il

Thanks I actually just found a mention of it somewhere...

He tweeted that more people watching the show when it aired would give it the best chance of renewal, but followed it up with "don't listen to me, watch it however you want."
