what makes louie brilliant is that louis knows there's greater things than LOLs

Funny things are the greatest things which is why I hate his tv show. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone when I see people rave about it. And his standup has sucked for a couple years now at least.

show is hit or miss, I too am perplexed by some of the rapturous praise for it, as if putting joke-less short films about angst-ridden new yorkers on tv under the guise of a comedy show is somehow groundbreaking or forward-thinking

Hint: it's not a comedy show. It's a show made by a comedian that is occasionally comedic.

I'm not stupid, Old Lunch. I know he's intending to make something unfunny... that doesn't make it cool to me...
― Hungry4Ass, Friday, 30 January 2015 19:00 (nine years ago) link
i do think that a lot of the reaction to his show is condition positively and negatively by a load of expectations that are only obliquely satisfied.

conditionED
i can't type today.
I've seen this thing sometimes, perhaps on here, saying he's like brave or ballsy for not being funny... but I think if a funny guy can be Real & Funny instead of just Real (and the show does get pretty real), then that is a lot more impressive and worthwhile to me... Just one guy's take
― Hungry4Ass, Friday, 30 January 2015 19:04 (nine years ago) link

you mean you are not speaking for the entire Hungry4Ass demographic?
― I dunno. (amateurist), Friday, 30 January 2015 19:04 (nine years ago) link
at his best he's a damn good and moving story teller. see the episode where his friend is contemplating suicide. but yeah some of them are just strung together bits which can be hit or miss.
― Heez, Friday, 30 January 2015 19:10 (nine years ago) link
I definitely prefer the earlier funnier series.

glad youse guys are here to inform me that i'm mistaken that i think this show is great, now i've seen the error of my ways i can get my life back on track, thanx shakey and canks

oh cool we're having the same ol dumb argument itt again
Anyway the new special is just OK - some great bits, but way more aimless ones than usual
― Simon H., Saturday, 31 January 2015 22:50 (nine years ago) link
agree, though i enjoyed it
i'm guessing some of the aimlessness is d/t the small club setting?
― gbx, Saturday, 31 January 2015 23:20 (nine years ago) link
possibly. I'd be down for a CK lecture or commentaty-track series on classic movies though

Lol... this is why I don't really post here anymore... everything's so weirdly personal. Just wanted to say a couple word's on a tv show my main man... sorry for offending you #Research (stevie)...

the irony of cankles, CANKLES, being like "oh i didn't mean to offend anyone" on ilx is blowing my mind - dude i am not offended and generally you are one of my favourite ilx presences, i just find the "people only pretend they like this thing they say they like" argument to be REALLY BORING

Lol you're cool stevie but... I'm trying to think of the non-dick way to say this... You are lying about what I said and then getting mad at me for it... that is insane
― Hungry4Ass, Sunday, 1 February 2015 19:59 (nine years ago) link
you know, i can't really see what i was going on about earlier wrt 'people only pretend etc' tbh, which i'm going to lamely chalk up to a general lack of sleep and an 8 month old baby who won't sleep, sorry canks and shakey. i still love this show to death and am probs too defensive of it. peace out!
― #Research (stevie), Sunday, 1 February 2015 23:04 (nine years ago) link
i think it was that billy corgan thread where dudes were like 'you'd all think billy was cool if he wasn't so uncool' that i was actually riled by but the truth is i'm too deranged by lack of sleep to be responsibly ilxing right now.

Just catching up with season 3 now on Hulu. Stopped watching after I gave up cable. It's pretty funny. The one with F. Murray Abraham as his uncle killed me. Really built up a desire to see who they could possibly have cast as his father to top the uncle and then...

I will say that of the 4 s5 eps I've seen, the premiere was my least favorite.
― fuck me, archipelago (Simon H.), Thursday, 9 April 2015 04:55 (nine years ago) link
I'm on the fourth season. This show is great. It rarely makes me laugh, but the scene where the bin men wake him up by breaking into his room and jumping on his bed had me in tears for several minutes.

who was the actress who played gold's partner? I recognized her.

so is he really just ignoring everything that happened at the end of last season? haven't checked but bringing the title music back suggests yes as much as anything
funny bits but too predictable an outcome with the pregnant woman and the lazy cartoon angry lesbian thing wasn't cool
― nashwan, Sunday, 12 April 2015 12:18 (nine years ago) link
are you really asking about plot continuity on Louie, in its 5th season?

well even Pamela was asking about it last season...
― nashwan, Sunday, 12 April 2015 12:53 (nine years ago) link
i just don't think there's ever gonna be anything on the show that he's not willing to shake the etch-a-sketch on and just move on to the next unrelated story.
― some dude, Sunday, 12 April 2015 13:02 (nine years ago) link
lazy cartoon angry lesbian seems more fair a characterisation if we accept that louie really is an asshole, which isn't so hard to do
― cis-het shitlord (Merdeyeux), Sunday, 12 April 2015 22:35 (nine years ago) link
