Louis CK is not funny.

Who do you think is funny?

You can have George Lopez, Ill take the best comedian in America. CK is better than Chris Rock

Not better than Chappelle if he ever came back though

Eh, kind of simple stuff hes doing there though. Watch a guy get kicked in the nards and make a joke. Hes like the funniest kid in the lunch room


The stories CK tells in his stand up and the relevant social points he makes is astounding. Brilliant stuff really

Louis whole act is about middle aged life and how hes a fat bald loser

Hes recently gotten at Sarah Palin a little bit but I havent heard that in his act at all

Listen, I agree he's funny, and even his jokes on these issues are pretty funny, but he has a lot of jokes about race, homosexuality, and religion, and his takes are generally liberal.

IDK what to tell you. Ive seen all of his stuff and I dont remember him yelling. Watch the show tonight, its way more subtle, ironic, and socially awkward than just yelling. Its going to be like CYE but w/ real life situations

I like Tosh but not his stand up, its sooooo choppy. Plus he has a weird toupee thing going

Hes gotten into the Catholic church and the Pope lately but thats like....cmon.


How does he have a liberal view on race?

He's an interesting mix of politically incorrect and run-of-the-mill liberal.

He himself admits he's a liberal if you read his interviews.

His whole bit on how great it is to be white is funny just because it so typifies white liberal guilt.

I think he's funny as hell, and politically he's not even close to being as annoying as a guy like Louis Black, but there's a current of liberal politics in his humor that I could do without. But it's not that big of a deal.

He's leaving already? Really? Wow. I have no clue who Steve Carell is, nor have I ever even seen "The Office".

I'm always feeling like I'm being blindsided, but I do live a sheltered life...

Maybe one day if I actually get interested again in Mindless TV, I'll decide to watch all of the episodes of not only "The Office", but "Seinfeld" as well. Never seen any of them.

Wow am I so out of the mainstream American Sheeple. I still have no clue who "Lady Gag" is. Or even "Lady Gaga" for that matter.

If "The Office" has a laugh track associated with it, I'll never watch it. I think that "Seinfeld" does, not sure. How inane are laugh tracks! *I FREAKING HATE THEM*

That's quite a rant.

Seinfeld had a laugh track, but The Office does not.

I'd suggest not watching either of them, though, as -- based on your post -- you'll likely hate them.

They filmed before a live studio audience, but they used a track for the outdoor scenes.

I'm sorry, everyone. I mixed up CK Lewis with Lewis Black for some reason.

I don't even know who CK Lewis is then.

I understood that they rehearsed before a live audience and then used the laughs from that in the episode... so kind of a mix.

So few good sit coms use laugh tracks anymore that it's weird to think that all of them did not long ago.

The new Louis CK show tonight had it's funny moments, but there's no way it'll be on the air long. It's way too obscure and off-the-wall. No chance it gets good prolonged ratings.

Hah

I was wondering what that Jewish thing was about

And when you said Louis CK yells all the time I was like "***....I dont even....Lewis Black does that"

His standup is so good I think he can have a show w/ just that.

I think the sketches need a diff. director or something. The camera was jacked up and the music was off-putting. And it was more bizarre than I was hoping for

Has anyone ever seen a TV comedy episode without a laugh-track?

Default No racist
But I dont like Jewish people. Except for Jerry Seinfeld, and his stand-up isn't really that funny. I dont even know anymore man. Sometimes I want to end it all. I just suck at life
