Pretty sure this bit is here somewhere. Might be from a different show, though.

Generation Useless
All attitude and criticism, with no substance, and they demand respect.
And the fact everything they say sounds like a question isn't a hint they know nothing?

He did part of this bit on a Leno appearance, but this is longer length and improved (IMHO). Certainly not a dupe.

See Louis CK video, click it, upvote, click play.

Ok, I upvote even though I really have seen this bit a number of times

He gets a little harsh towards 20 year old in this, but his great truth, which anyone should take away from it is: DO YOUR FUCKING JOB, and do it well.

If you don't like your current job then spend time looking for one you'd prefer to do, but still do your current job WELL.

I know people who are just like this and it shits me so much, because it's exactly the thing that stops them getting anywhere in life. They don't climb the ladder of success because they never have a good reference, they never show how damn good they can be at the shitty jobs so they get noticed, or come away with a great reference, to move on to the next, bigger, better job and so on.

Being shit at the shit jobs means you'll always do the the shit jobs. Be great at the shit jobs and people Fucking NOTICE. They DO...

My first real job (not counting delivery medicine by bike or working in Pizza Hut) was answering ALL the email an ISP got.. ALL of it, just me handling all complaints, queries, support requests... pretty mind numbing really... but you know what, when I left that company I was a lead client software developer, creating code to run on AT&T's customer's computers nation wide... and then when that company closed up I was recommended on to another company where I work today.

All because I DID THE SHITTY JOBS WELL.

It's a HUGE truth that is really important for doing well in this world, and as Louis points out, there are those who don't get it.

@Phreezdryd

each generation is the product of the one before

it's like mom's who complain about their kids.
they're YOUR kids. you downloaded your stupid shit into them before you figured out anything about yourself, and now they are driving you crazy.

so while you can criticize this current generation, check out the "greed is good" generation and see how that relates.

I had a boss once who said "There are two types of employees. Those who work for themselves and those who work for others."

If you are working for yourself, you will always do a good job. If you are grudgingly doing things that others "make" you do, it is unlikely that you are enjoying your work or doing it well.

It's the sense of entitlement we push on our youth.

It's not about this generation of 20 year olds, it's every* generation of 20 year olds. It's you, at 20. Man, it took me a while to lose my sense of entitlement. In fact, I'm not sure I have.

*Disclaimer: not including those 20 year olds from WWI and WWII.

Longer length eh? You must be a bureaucrat, you bureaucrat you!

There's always talk about that greatest generation. What about the ones that were fucked up in the head because they went through a horrible fucking War? I mean thats gotta mess you up something fierce.

This bit is better without Jay Leno's incessant cackling.

What bit isn't?
