Louis C.K. Saves His Dumb Dog's Life

Totally agree with you. Best show on TV. Especially if you like the inside baseball world of standup comedy. Also check out Marc Maron's WTF podcast for this, which is excellent.
Louie was hilarious as usual on this, but I wish Conan wouldn't read off the talking points cards to set up the bits. This is my biggest pet peeve of talk shows - and why I prefer the interviews at the Daily Show.
>> ^Trancecoach:
Not me. I love his show. It's one of the smartest and funniest programs on television. There's often a very subtle, yet powerful message in each program about modern life -- usually something rarely seen on television.
And this clip is great, too. I appreciate how animated and angry he got, for the sake of the dog. It speaks to the positive side of male aggression (which doesn't get the recognition it deserves).

Louis CK is one of the funniest stand up comedians out there... but that show, "Louie," almost never makes me laugh. This clip made me laugh harder than three episodes of Louie stuck together. I probably just don't get it yet but maybe I'm not alone? Peace.




I agree with you about the set-up cards, dag. That's one thing I love about Craig Ferguson--whenever a guest comes on his show he tears up a stack of blue cards and throws them in a protest against the conformity of talk show hosts.

I honestly like Louis...and I love Louis CK. That being said I have to WORK HARD to get through and episode of his show. It's brilliant...just fantastic. But it's just sooo hard for me, all the ackwardness and they plain everyday Louis is awfulness...drives me insane. But I slog through...for the gems.

Never seen this guy before, but the whole time i was watching it i was thinking of the futurama episode with all the water-based life-forms. They had a water-based standup comic on there, and i just couldn't stop thinking that this guy was the template for that. Then i started thinking of other send-ups of what you'd consider stereotypical standup comedy;

"Ever done <this>? What's <THAT> all about!?!?!?!?!"
"When you <x> in the morning, do you ever <y>? And then you have to <z> just to <x> again?"

Is that a common american style, or is it an old-school style, or what is it? It's the first time i've seen the stuff that i always see parodied, not being parodied. Observational comedy or something is it?

And my final question is, is it a social faux pas to say you don't find this funny? People seem to revere this guy, it's the first time i've seen him and i was expecting him to be amazing from all that i've heard.
