pretty much any comedian who gets rich and famous for "telling it like it is" will inevitably crawl up their own rear end because they get it in their head that every thought they have is ground-breaking and important

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

he was a sack of poo poo that never actually told jokes and wasn't funny at all and deserved to have cancer or whatever killed him probably aids.

Bill Hicks literally shaking over freshman-level heckling will never not be funny

loving oval office

just finished the 155 episode story arc about dating the foreigner and we're launching into a 2 episode 80's drama where louie warns against the dangers of smoking weed at a young age

fucks sake louie

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

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 science teacher going to be phillip seymour hoffman but he died before they started filming :/
