I still think Louis CK is funny but I'm glad it's popular to think he's a hack now because that amuses me more.

Well you're amused because you're stupid since nobody has said he's a hack except for your own dumb rear end, we're just lamenting the latest season just isn't good

Frankly I wish I was as easily amused as you

i really like the last scene of the last season where louie gets in the tub with the nice lady and we all get to see his revolting irish body and rear end and then the water overflows the tub for like 5 minutes. that was worth the whole season of mediocrity

and even at its worst s4 of louie was way better than 99% of television. take a minute to realize that there are millions of people watching dance moms and jersey shore and stuff, we are so blessed to have louie. even when is show isnt hilariously funny there are still great moments like when he goes into his apartment and beats the poo poo out of his piano

Well that and the fact that Dennis Leary stole his material and did it with such better delivery and emotion that only the most pedantic folks would complain

I wouldn't call myself a pedant, I just think Dennis Leary is a douchebag of epic proportions who deserves to be a quadriplegic who never gets to enjoy the sensation of independence again. I seriously loving hate Dennis Leary. Not even for stealing Hicks' jokes, that's the icing on top of the cake as far as I'm concerned. I just really really loving hate the guy for being who he is.

Yeah this is my point. I don't really have anything against Louis C.K. but if he really wants to inherit the mantle of George Carlin like he so clearly wants to it's time for him to put up or shut up now that his initial climb to fame has peaked.

Carlin had the same problem, all the praise of him telling it like it is got to his head and over the years he went from "haha words are spelled differently than they're pronounced, isn't that whacky?" to "God's not real and politics are dumb -wacky face-" to "uuugh fat people are bad because backpacks, caring is for fags stay home and jerk off instead -stroke noises-"

If anything Louie being based on optimism rather than Carlin's pessimism will probably be as asset in the long run, because even when he stops being funny he can still be arty and sincere enough to make weird no-budget films that he can sell directly to fans

Yeah when Louie season 5 comes out on Netflix I'll probably watch it. I have no desire to sit through another episode of Walking Dead again though.

I always thought the big joke from the fat girl monologue is when she is sort of trying to make it out like it isn't her fault that she's fat and some people go jogging past her.


I like the artsyfartsy drama a ton. When he goes to try and meet his dad and his suicide friend are my favorite episodes, and I love basically every scene where louie is a good dad.


I also think the camera work and the depth of field/focus play he uses in S2/3 is top notch and don't understand the complaints about how he micromanages. I love the show, the script and the way its shot, that is why i keep watching.

louie is a good standup and a bad actor

insisting on managing every part of the show himself was just a bad idea because he's bad at it.
I feel like I stopped caring about his comedy once the shock factor of some pudgy dude saying all these wicked awful and vulgar things wore off.

Everything he does, Bill Burr does better. :colbert:

i agree with the OP. archer season 5 was better ffs

the only good part about Louie season 4 was the wiseass doctor. his quote about the only thing happier than a three-legged dog (a four-legged dog) is wisdom for the ages

the weed storyline was the only good thing about season 4, actually happened to him IRL, and loving lol if all you take away from it is "drugs are bad"

it's really cool seeing the dude with a lumpy potato head that Hollywood spent the past four years trying to convince is leading man material is actually a p. good actor when he wants to be

Jeremy Renner? He's 5'10". That's not short. Robert Downey Jr. is shorter and he's the highest paid movie star in the world atm. Tom Cruise is up there too and dude is even shorter (though he notoriously keeps trying to hide it).

he's got a really good casting person. like that science teacher for example was instantly believable. or that bully's dad. gotta say though i don't think pamela adlon is very good and i think would never be on the show if they weren't collaborators/friends.

the bully dad/bully son ep was one of the few non-comedy episodes which were legit good

He knew how bad the season was going to be

I finished watching the whole season today, last few episodes pick up a little bit but it's still mostly depressing instead of mostly awkward funny situations and observations like the previous seasons

It's all right I'm sure next season will be better

the three-parter where Louie trains to replace David Letterman was excellent. if the show continues to suck people will probably point to that as the "jump the shark" moment
