Do you guys think Louis ck is funny?

I have a coworker who raves about him, but the clips ive seen cant elicit more than a chuckle at best.. I don't know if I can set through a whole special. What does DL think of him?

by Anonymousreply 42October 25, 2022 3:46 PM

I found his stand up just okay.

But his TV series "Louie" remains one of the best series I've ever seen. It was funny, sad, poignant, moving and silly at once. The writing was fantastic. And I assume he wrote most of it.

This should have been a poll.

I was bummed to learn he was such a pervert.

None of the comedians people rave about most do I find funny it’s strange. Dave chapel has moments but I find it hard to support him so I avoid him

by Anonymousreply 4September 4, 2022 10:25 AM

His show Louie was brilliant. He hasn’t been funny in the slightest after his cancellation and he went full MAGA. Dave Chappelle has never been funny. Ever.

by Anonymousreply 5September 4, 2022 11:04 AM

Yes, I find him funny. And - like most comics - troubled.

by Anonymousreply 6September 4, 2022 11:16 AM

I don't find the least bit funny.

by Anonymousreply 7September 4, 2022 11:22 AM

Watched one of his specials - slow to get started - then very funny in the middle- grew tired of his rhythm by the end. It was enough for me to think he’s funny but not enough to watch other stuff.

This is the perv who likes to force women to touch the ugly ginger knob between his legs right? Fuck him and may he die in a greasefire

No. I watched the first Louis show on HBO and it was interesting in its implementation but...eh.

Zero funny

r3 people that can't handle that standup is full of tragic clowns are better served by sticking with the lawrence welk show

r9 Which pure and saintly comics do you prefer? Please create a list of socially approved standup.

I think he can be extremely funny.

Old lady at the airport, for example >>

Nah. He seems to think humour is directly related to being edgy. Shock value does not a comedian make.

He doesn't offend me in the slightest, I just don't think he's very funny.

by Anonymousreply 15October 24, 2022 10:54 AM

r15 So, which comedians would you recommend?

by Anonymousreply 16October 24, 2022 11:00 AM

I like some of his standup stuff.I've actually never seen his show.

by Anonymousreply 17October 24, 2022 11:03 AM

To clarify I mean I've never seen his television series.

by Anonymousreply 18October 24, 2022 11:03 AM

Thank you for the clarification, R18/17 - otherwise I would have always wondered.

by Anonymousreply 19October 24, 2022 11:14 AM

"I don't watch comedians who commit sexual assault" means "I only watch pure, saintly comedians" apparently. DL logic, folks!

by Anonymousreply 20October 24, 2022 11:16 AM

I like Katt Williams. He's self educated and when he's doing well he's funny as Hell.

I tried to watch him because i like ginger daddies but I'm sorry to say I didn't find him funny at all.

by Anonymousreply 22October 24, 2022 11:59 AM

Not really, no. I have a straight friend who raves about him too, thinks he's a genius. He's never made me laugh.

by Anonymousreply 23October 24, 2022 12:07 PM

Several years ago I watched a few Louis CK specials, "One Night Stand" and "Shameless" if I recall, and really liked them. Watched laters specials and they were very hit and miss. "Hilarious" only had a few good parts, which were all undisguised George Carlin ripoffs. Even his "Live at Carnegie Hall" album cover is edited to make him LOOK like George Carlin.

[quote]This is the perv who likes to force women to touch the ugly ginger knob between his legs right?

I don't think he forced anyone into touching him, but he was credibly accused of masturbating in front of several different women at different times in seemingly non-sexual settings, like meetings with fellow comedians or comedy writers. And it wasn't just a rub through the pants, he announced what he was doing and took out his erect penis and began playing with it in front of them. Creepy and weird in the extreme. There's something very wrong with this guy, but people love to prop up shitty human beings and complain about imaginary "cancel culture" while doing so because it fits a narrative that confirms their preexisting biases.

by Anonymousreply 25October 24, 2022 12:12 PM

Wasnt he the guy who jerked off into a potted palm in front of someone. i wonder if that someone took a picture of his dick. I'd like to know if he's cut or uncut and whether he has a fiery bush. If he's Hungarian it is probably uncut and fat.

by Anonymousreply 26October 24, 2022 12:15 PM

Here's the thing...

I don't find him necessarily funny, but there's something about him I find appealingly sad. Does that make sense?

I watched all of "Horace and Pete" in a day,. I'm not usually a crier, but I did a few times during that. His character on "Parks and recreation" as the cop who had it bad for Leslie was also more melancholy and sweet that humorous.

His downfall was a huge shame because I think he has a real gift.

I can't think of another stand-up who is equally appealing as an actor. (And before you annoy me too much, Robin Williams was an overrated serious actor)

Hilarious. Not.

He is not funny. AT ALL. Kevin Hart and tens of others FAR more talented. Yuck.

by Anonymousreply 29October 24, 2022 6:57 PM

I don't find his stand-up funny at all, but I loved "Baskets", so there's something in there I respond to. It's just not the comedy he does alone, I guess.

by Anonymousreply 30October 24, 2022 7:08 PM

I had a close friend who LOVED him and thought he was hilarious, but he always left me cold and I found him creepy without knowing why. NOW I know, obviously.

Loved his show “Louie”. His latest Standup special was awful. Like most men, thinks too highly of himself.

I lived near Sunset Gower and I would catch the tapings of Lucky Louie. I was in the audience for episode 6 when Louie called his wife a cunt.

There was an audible gasp, and it ushered in the era of shameless usage of the word.

DL owes its bitchiness to the wide use of the word cunt, and we all have Louis CK to thank.

What a cunt.

[quote]big cock?

Nope.

You can view his tinymeat in an episode of "Lucky Louie," which he created early in his career.

by Anonymousreply 37October 24, 2022 8:06 PM

He's creeping back in again - he left the country for a while. Went to Israel of all places because not many international entertainers go there - anyway, they took him in for a while. He's doing guest appearances on podcasts, stuff like that and starts a tour of the USA in November.

I personally don't quite get the wanking thing. I wasn't aware of him when he did it. In fact I think I posted a what exactly happened? thread here on DL, but I've forgotten when people said.

This is a good one >>>

Jesus, does he really look like someone with a big cock? He looks like the epitome of tinymeat buried under 5 inches of FUPA.

I don't think his stand up is funny, but I have watched clips of his podcast on Youtube and I liked it.

He would lock the door and beat off in front of female comedians. Locking the door and preventing someone from leaving is actually one of the criminal definitions of kidnapping. He's lucky they didn't press charges

by Anonymousreply 41October 24, 2022 10:03 PM

There's really nothing difficult to understand about what he did. He locked people in rooms with him and openly masturbated in front of them without consent or prior warning. There was also a power difference in most cases because he was an extremely popular and well known comedian with a TV show and a full touring schedule, and the women he subjected to this behavior were lesser known comedians or comedy writers meeting him to discuss work or potential opportunities. He was very powerful in the comedy world at the time.

He's scum.
