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

pretty much the best thing about today

so great.

oh thank you so much for this

"look at his fucking face... that is an easy mask to slip on and off"

So delicious hearing Opie and Anthony slowly lose control of their program

"NOBODY does!!"

lolll pootie tang is totally underrated

Ha, I misread that as "pootie tang is totally unedited." Then I thought, hm, that might fit.

holy shit!

One of the best shows on television...
Ricky Gervias's appearences as his doctor are funnier than shit...

new season in june! all the promos seem to be just footage from last season tho

stoked for S2 - the bits described sound great. Hope he can keep it together, or maybe get some trustworthy help at some point, 'cause it seems like making 6 hours of actually-funny/compelling TV every year on your own is a bit much.

that dude shouting in the background is LOLOLOL

also Shapiro!! hahah

the other comedians did not exactly help that clip

Disagree

^^^

that video redeemed my faith in humanity

this was great!
like not one of the funniest eps but, it's just so beautifully put together & the score's so great and his character is so compelling in its visible uncertainty. so glad it's back on.

Yeah. It was weird, it wasn't that funny, but the neighbor was amazing. The line about "don't let your sister die because you're awkward with strangers".

That makes it sound like I didn't like it. I did, I just think some episodes are hilarious and some are more...impressionistic or something.

I love the casting of this show. The woman who played his sister was like the least televisiony looking person on a sitcom ever.

yeah absolutely. it was the neighbour exchanges i was thinking of; not necessarily just because they're obviously stylistically different but just being so charged and evocative. i read an interview where he talked about the direction, about trying some new lenses this year, and there's something about him being tightly in focus and everyone else being slightly off that totally fits.

i loved that she had the CK voice of being able to say, 'but kind of carry on, right?'

Yeah the no-makeup, calling CK dude, the sister was cast perfectly.

That bit at the beginning about not letting his daughter drown was hilarious.

Weirdly, the bit about families divorcing so the kid can visit 2 happy homes made me teary. Hormonal I guess?

knew I recognized the neighbor from something else:

OK ep, but a little light on the lols for a season opener, esp. given how high the bar had been raised in the final stretch of S01.

i think with the thing making this so good & distinct being its honesty, & what it's trying to capture, i'm okay with this

It was weird, it wasn't that funny

so mostly like last season? i mean that in a good way, of course. the extended detours into uncomfortable non-lol territory (sometimes for almost an entire episode) are what makes this show special to me. haven't seen this yet btw.

This show is pretty amazing, and I'm glad it does stuff that are a bit stranger and more conceptual than funny. I recently saw Louie's first show, the sitcom, and it was very bizarre. It felt like a joke version of a sitcom that this show might fade into for a second as a dream sequence or something. Prefer this to it x1000.

That episode was incredible.

holy shit! so good.

standup-level lol quotient is the wrong metric for this show imo

Best fart gag since Blazing Saddles?

well, since Deadwood at least.

god that was such a great setup for that fart gag too. Dude is ice-cold.

wait, it's on? did my tivo miss this?

10:30 Eastern on Thursdays. First episode was last week. I'm sure they'll rerun it this week at some point.

Did anyone else think of the fart gag in The Young Ones?
(at 5:50)

loved loved loved the first scene of the new ep hahahahaha

I was almost crying by the end of the opening scene (it's been a rough year), and then Louie flips the bird and I cracked up. Perfect.

Ah my gf erased it cause she thought it was a rerun. We salvaged and watched. Perfect.

five minutes, many lols
