OP of the year.

Considering this show barely has continuity, it's kind of fitting to not have a big wordsy OP.

This has been a pretty feel good episode. :unsmith:

It's about to go so so wrong, isn't it?

"have you ever hosed a fat girl" something like that

That's weird. They did bleep the "gently caress" Louie just blurted out on the train.

That was one of the best segments this show has ever done. I still feel a little antsy after watching that

There's really a more concerted effort to give the show continuity than there's been in the previous seasons.

With Sandler it's more a mishmash of costars from his SNL days and various people he's befriended along the way, like Kevin James. And despite a lot of these Sandler buddies being, well, talent deprived, Sandler continually gives them roles in his movies and even bankrolls their own TV and movie projects through Happy Madison. I have a hard time believing people like Nick Swardson and Peter Dante still have hollywood careers without Sandler.

Louis CK having his standup buddies make appearances on his (relatively) low budget cable show isn't anywhere near what Sandler does.

Actually Pamela parts 2 and 3 are the final episodes.

In the Woods parts 1 and 2 might be a story arc... within a story arc? Or they're unrelated and Louis C.K. just wants that scene to hang in the air for a while.

It makes sense in that it didn't seem to occur to Louie (the character) that he did anything wrong in that scene. For him, life will go on and he'll have an adventure in the woods, and then after that he'll have his next interaction with Pamela, where he'll hopefully get called on his poo poo.

One thing that particularly bothered me about that scene was Pamela's line about how this would be rape "if you weren't so stupid." As if Louie's awkward sad sack loner routine justifies what he was doing. I guess you could argue that was just Pamela trying to get through to him about what a massive creeper he was being?

I appreciate that this show takes risks to address issues like that, but that scene needs some well-done follow-up.

Pretty weird to have this cool young in the past and the terrible old hag mom who can't say "I love you" in the present time.

The same actress did play Louie's mother in a flashback episode in Season 1, where her character was also portrayed in a generally positive light.

The thread title always makes me chuckle a little when I read it, because of Jerry Seinfeld working so clean that even off-stage he can't bring himself to say "poo poo".

If you've never seen the documentary Comedian, Seinfeld does drop f-bombs and whatnot in casual conversation, like many people do.

Not gonna lie, I'm a little sad that he felt obligated to explain the whole race thing with Janet and the daughters. But I guess it was fitting that it was Pamela that did the asking, since her character is meant to have boundary issues.
