Todd's description of his day was amazing. His complete misreading of the meaning of the donut was the best. Waitress: You're here every single day? Would you like a donut?  Todd: Yeah she always make sure I get a donut

Todd Barry looks, acts, and sounds like a murderer. And I don't mean like a creepy serial killer who leaves no evidence besides grisly details scrawled in a secret memoir. I mean like a mob enforcer.

BOAT SHOWBOAT posted:I thought this might be the case but i dont understand, because they specifically mention not having any other kids - was this a fantasy or not? They had been married for all of two years with the second year being very difficult. They had decided to leave each other and have one last go in bed before going their separate ways. That resulted in his technically-still-his-wife conceiving. She, for whatever reason, decided to keep the child and as a result they forced the marriage to continue even though they already both knew it was never going to work and then had a second child sometime after the first. They are now divorced. And she became black. But if Steve Martin can be born a poor black boy and grow up into a homeless white man, I don't see why his wife can't go from white to black. It's not like you stay that way.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Just think of it like a play where sometimes a part is played by one actor and sometimes it's played by another. EX-WIFE is sometimes a black lady, sometimes not. This show doesn't have continuity like you imagine.

I don't speak the language so if I'm wrong please correct me, but I think the point was that she regretted the night before as it was a bad idea to get more "serious" (as her aunt would put it) right before she had to leave.

cheerfullydrab posted:This show doesn't have continuity like you imagine. But this isn't even being about things being different or not between episodes, both actresses are in the same episode. Louie even added in the cigarette gesture to let the audience know that even though she is white now, she's the same character. Louie's unafraid of being deliberate and bogging the show a bit down in details this season, and Louie is also a show about visual metaphors and symbolism to get across to the audience what's going on in Louie's head.

This is allegedly what Amia said to Louie at the end of the episode:quote:while in bed: "this was a big mistake. we ruined a good thing we had. do you understand?" And what she said to Jim Norton: quote:"You're very stupid. You're not funny at all." This was posted on reddit and the poster said they found it on imdb forums, so could very well be fake.

If you haven't seen it yet, you should find the episode of Delocated where Todd Barry has to work off his debt for the Russian mob, and keeps getting boners every time he does something criminal. It's amazing. Highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPW_H3JBRIk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQjXPqpel34

Either the young Louie actor has the best Louie CK voice ever or that was some truly impressive adr work. Kept flipping back and forth between the two options in my head.

Parallels have been made between Louie and Woody Allen before but I was really struck by it when I heard Louie's "voice" and saw his mannerisms coming from a guy who reminded me of a young (and much physically fitter!) Woody Allen.

I thought it was funny in the flashback when he told Janet, "Maybe you can go to Africa!", I felt it was a  at the fact that she is played by a black actor. It was too on the nose. Initial impressions of the "no good" in the ending made me think of "Louie is bad at sex", but I was hoping that wasn't the direction it was going. Doctor loving Bigelow. I love this dude.

It's funny because Norton thought he was king poo poo when he could say poo poo she didn't understand, not realizing she could do the same to him. His face when he does realize it makes the joke.

His face when he does realize it makes the joke. I agree it's funny, but I don't think it's funny because they can't understand eachother, it's because they understand eachother perfectly. Norton goes and says something rude because he thinks it's funny that she won't understand it, but she does and tells him "that's not funny, gently caress off" basically. And he gets it! That's funny, and ties into the overall theme of communication that's sort of been going on with the last few episodes.

What I said was a little harsh, but I enjoy the actor-swapping. Some of you must've hated how Louie went on a date with a lady and then an episode or two later the same actress played his mom. And how could that kid be Louie's agent???

For a guy who was caught up in a joke-stealing brouhaha (and even made a fantastic episode out of it), he flat out ripped off the agent-that-looks-like-a-kid joke there. Snapchat A Titty posted:It's funny because Norton thought he was king poo poo when he could say poo poo she didn't understand, not realizing she could do the same to him. His face when he does realize it makes the joke. Oh man that went right over my head, but it's so much better when I think of it that way. I just laughed at his hilarious expression.
