I vaguely remember hearing poo poo way back when that 30 Rock episode about him being into love pillows aired.

i definitely remember having read one of these stories before (him removing the plastic covering genitals before simulating oral sex on his female students, which, oh my god ew) and then i realized that one of the two women named in the lawsuit had told that story in the article that covered all of his creeping on young girls and other gross assaults. I hope this is enough to finally get people to stop giving James Franco more chances, especially now that Shia LaBeouf has committed to basically just being James Franco.

Yeah, you guys are really over thinking it since it's just Louis C.K. for now. He doesn't want people reporting on his dumbass "kids these days" old man jokes or any alt-right poo poo he says after he got mocked last time. That's almost certainly it. The issue of the sanctity of open mic night is a different issue that I don't think there's too much disagreement about. Other than the fact that comedians sometimes want to treat it as obnoxiously sacred, and not just a practice night.

Louis CK doesn't care if you think his jokes are offensive. He doesn't want unfinished work being judged in terms of quality. You can keep calling the work that offended you lovely if it makes you feel better. It is the same type of work you loved two years ago.

I mean, I'm talking about the finished routine about how he wished the Stoneman Douglas kids would chill out and stop complaining and a bunch of old man poo poo. Did you miss all of that? There seems to be a straight line connecting them. Also, we're talking about his regular shows in Toronto. Not an open mic night. Which again, is different. I hope he's not charging full price for 5 nights of unfinished material.

Did you miss all of that? That wasn't finished. It may not even resemble what you heard when it is done. It could be dropped entirely. Pacing could change. You don't just work on a routine at open mics. Yes, comics charge full price for unfinished material. This has always been the case, because they tour as they develop material. I am sure your "hopes" are well-meaning. Did you miss how comics work?

Louis CK doesn't care if you find his jokes offensive which is why he devoted multiple sets and non-joke interview rants to getting upset about people finding things offensive.Coffee And Pie posted:That doesn’t surprise me, doesn’t he have a history of predatory poo poo? Fuckin Franco. James Franco sexually assaulted a mentally ill woman who basically dated him to throw herself on a grenade and protect her fourteen year old friend from being sexually assaulted by him. The dude is pure scum.

Comedians test jokes and bits out all the time to hone them in. Movies are shown to people before they’re finished to see if they work all the time. It’s not a new concept

Although I think that these shows might not be those test runs. Usually shows that sell tickets are the refined shows and the random appearances at a small comedy club are the rest runs. I didn’t know he was doing a show show.

Someone charging top dollar to do an entire hour of unfinished jokes is an aberration to put it lightly.

Purely anecdotal but an old coworker of mine met Franco at some sort of signing. She was with a friend, and she told me he kept asking about whether they were in college yet and other weird-rear end questions related to them being young. She said it was weird af and his interest in them increased when be found out they were still teens. This was about ten years ago before this poo poo was well-known or even would have spread online. I was completely unsurprised when he was caught chatting up that Instagram teen. Franco's a creep.

Oh great, another one steps up to bat to continue a multi-page derail on a topic of no real importance. I'm sure a topic of such burning importance deserves it's own thread, and won't die the moment the discussion no longer serves to derail a politically sensitive topic with tribal bullshit.
