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

compare with #77:
White Castle Chocolate Shake - Large (St Louis region) Calories: 950

louis(ck)ville

i guess if you're going to a place that sells burgers by the sackful then you're already two steps from spooning crisco from the can so whatever

btw this has still got to be the winner

if i liked breakfast foods more i'm positive i would have tried this already in the interests of science

that has to be shopped

ok what is it?

what the shit is that? lard-os?

Hungry Man?

i think that's the hungry man microwave breakfast.

so you're in louisville and you get a large chocolate shake, a sack of fries and three cheeseburgers. Which sounds about right to me as a good ol' boy dinner, not insane or anything.
That's 3310 calories.

here's the article:

This blows my mind:

This cream- and cheese-infused pasta bowl is bloated with more saturated fat than a full-grown adult should eat in 4 days

yeah the disgustingness of the hungry-man is brought into full relief when you see what a pitiful little pile of nuked food it really is

while the white castle shake is probably the size of a pickle barrel at the grocery store

spoiled alerts...

Maybe my favorite episode. Dealing with such totally familiar frustrations in such fun ways. Having looked to buy a place not too long ago, it really hit home. I loved how the surreal stuff was handled. During that homeless person exchange sequence I even said "I hope this has nothing to do with anything" and it was perfect. And both realtors were great. That bait and switch move...so frustrating and happens every time. And the second realtor with the dreamy sequence in the garden. Amazing.

And the opening joke...so great how the joke was all about how he was telling this joke which as far as we can tell wasn't even a joke.

i am gutted that i'm missing this. i can't remember a comedy show i've cared about (and like, a lot) in forever.

also i tried on a pair of old dress slacks earlier and had a real louis moment. then i ate a hoagie.

The look on his face when he said he was going to buy THIS house was absolutely devastating as well.

AND THAT MOMENT is what I mean when i say it's a new york show
yes everyone wants this thing, this life just out of their reach but the point is that in nyc YOU CANNOT HAVE IT
you are not gonna have it.
i have done that exact thing, maybe on that same block, set that same goal knowing i will never ever get it
this show fucks with me sometimes

"....what about Obama?..."

relevant to the interests of this thread imo

i feel that way in most aspects of life (and i've felt those things both in nyc and outside of it).

if he wants a $7000 house, he could go to detroit. he could even buy two $3500 houses.

(i initially misunderstood that tweet as louis tweeting at bun and was powerloling)

i felt that way shopping for furniture the other day. the cheap couches were dingy and sad... the nice couches were all like $1000, even for love seats.

I love that it wasn't just "I want this" but that he's wrapped up this house as a way to start fresh (and outdo his ex for his girls' affections). So you've got the observational (and occasionally surreal) aspects of trying to find a new place to live that feeds into this desire for something that is right there but just out of reach (as was said just upthread there) and all of that because he's hoping that this physical change in his life will affect an emotional change that will allow him to clean the slate. I really think this show is something special.

I'm sure people in certain other cities can relate, too. Living in SF Bay Area has me relating to a lot in this show; the last two episodes especially, with the crazy random street-people incidents, and especially the house-hunting experience last night. When they were going through the old man's place, I was actually looking at it going through that same mental process I go through so often while apartment hunting: "This place is really ugly and it's set up really weird, but it's HUGE! I could get used to this!" Whoever scouted the location for that place is a genius.

That apartment was way too dumpy for his friend he was with to get that frustrated with him for not looking around. If the apartment wasn't so extremely terrible her frustration would make more sense. I guess it was just about making her out to be a whacky character in some way, no?

Actually yeah, because she ignored the point that there was a toilet in the kitchen.

yeah i'm not saying it's unique just that it comes coded with extra information for nyers

that apartment (depending on location and price) would be INCREDIBLE for some people; i lived in a place with a shower in the kitchen

secret infos my god

^ i just look for any and all opportunities to post that phrase

Yeah location and price maybe but it was a dump regardless of the set up. Also the shower in the kitchen doesn't have as much of a hygiene conflict of interest situation as a toilet.

That apartment would probably go for like $1950/mo in SF

That was one glaring continuity error with Pamela Adlon losing her coat after they went into the weird apartment

I have definitely seen a lot of terrible apartments like those. SF has some of the worst apartments.

and i don't THINK that's a 17 m aptmt in this climate
my guess was like 9.5 or something
/used to be a real estate broker in the village pre-2001

17m did seem high even though i know nothing about real estate

she picked up her coat off the back of the chair before she left. xposts

massive lol from the closet/kitchen/wall apt.

No, watch the scene again. She's wearing the coat when they enter the apartment, it goes to a different shot and she's not wearing it

ok so call the police man what do you want from me hummus or an apartment eh

I don't even normally notice these things

I've had so many awkward moments going to look at apartments that are occupied. It's one thing if it's a rental and the person is moving out because they can't afford it...another thing when you're looking to buy and you go look at a 1 bedroom apartment and are greeted by a mother and her 3 babies and all they want to do is move into a house so they don't all have to sleep in the same room but they can't sell it because the economy sucks and for a moment they look at you like you're their only hope but then they know you're just another person who's not going to buy there weird apartment.

pointing out continuity errors in louie is like taking out an umbrella & extra layers when the sun is shining, you are not in the spirit of the party goin on

I noticed it too. It seemed so obvious to me that I'm sure they noticed it themselves but just couldn't be bothered going back to fix it, because we all know we're watching a television programme, after all.

There's almost certainly a bit of dialogue where she takes off her jacket but something must have happened to it that made it unusable.. I guess it does add to the general hallucinatory panic and confusion that Louie's feeling at that moment, kinda works in a way

The "twirling" scene in the garden with the real estate agent was tremendous!

god the homeless guy thing slayed me
