Rummy was a pretty good sport about that too..

Still my favorite from Louie this year.
I'm sure not why people buying your meals for you in restaurants disqualifies you as being a lizard person.. The short answer would have been "No". I'd have denied it... I think the real question is, who are the other members of the lizard caucus?
Nancy Pelosi is a well known reptilian, as are Bush Jr. and Sr. Look up reptilian stuff on Youtube and you can see evidence of their slit eyelids exposed!

New season of Louie premieres Thursday.
Been really liking Louie this year. Nice article on last weeks episode and the series as a whole (although I do think there have been several clunkers mixed in with brilliance).
http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollyw...-second-seasonQuote:
Last week’s episode of Louie opened with a quasi simulation of his failed HBO show Lucky Louie, punctuated by Louis C.K. wearing a backward baseball cap and destroying the concept (and his hypothetical career) by questioning the realism of what they were doing. For maybe 90 seconds I found myself thinking, “Goddammit, here we go. This is it. This is going to be the first bad episode of Louie, because he’s going to obsess over something that’s essential only to him and not especially new and not even accurate (because the show he seemed to be satirizing wasn’t how Lucky Louie actually was).”
And then — of course — the episode changed. It didn’t just become unbad; it became incredible. The more I think about it, the more I suspect the interaction with Dane Cook might be the strongest seven-minute stretch I’ve ever seen on television: It’s realer than any reality show, more emotionally complicated than most 300-page memoirs, yet still awkward and severe and (somehow) easy to watch. I want to know everything about this scene — I want to know if this conversation truly happened, I want to know Cook’s views on his involvement, and I want to know C.K.’s deeper intent. And I can tell I’m not the only one who feels this way. What’s so distinctly compelling about this season of Louie is how everyone seems to collectively realize that what C.K. is doing is not only cool, but also authentically artful and unnaturally profound. There’s no debate over its value because there’s no contradictory position to take. It’s not polarizing in any important way: If you’re watching this show, you intuitively know it's fantastic (and substantially unlike the way fantastic TV typically is).
This fall marks the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind, so lots of folks are talking and writing about how life-changing the release of that record was. But in 1991, Nevermind was not unilaterally appreciated — people argued about its merits constantly, and a lot of people hated it. We generally agree it’s awesome now, but that agreement is retrospective. Louie is not like that. Right now, Louie is like the Beatles in ’66, or maybe Joe DiMaggio in ’41. These half-hour explorations are not just deftly written, but formally inventive — the episode in which his racist aunt dies is structured unlike any American situation comedy ever produced. The episode from two weeks ago (when Louie explains why he needs to tell the person he loves that he loves her, even though he knows she can’t reciprocate) offhandedly illuminated a paradox I’ve unsuccessfully thought about for more than 20 years. I don’t have kids, but — if I did — I feel like Louie would resonate so deeply I’d almost be afraid of it. The level of insight and weirdness C.K. is jamming into these shows is flat-out unimpeachable, and I somehow get the sense that his entire audience is having the same experience as me. It’s a shared recognition of perfection, happening in the present tense. And this is not a situation like 2003, when everyone just sort of temporarily agreed that "Hey Ya!" was a terrific single; this is different. This is someone working on the most radical edge of mainstream culture and succeeding brilliantly without ever doing the same thing twice. There is no antecedent.
Tonight’s episode of Louie (according to the druid who writes the capsules for the Time Warner on-screen programming guide) is as follows: “Louie explores a lifelong habit.” I have no idea what this means, and perhaps the episode will suck. Maybe that scene with Dane Cook was the apex, and — even though the rest of season will be totally watchable — nothing on Louie will blow my mind again. But I don’t think so. I really don’t. I’ve never had this much confidence in a TV show, ever. This is really happening.
[Readers note: Upon the publication of this post, it was pointed out to me that the show C.K. was satirizing in the open was probably not Lucky Louie, but actually C.K.'s failed 2004 CBS pilot Saint Louie. Which doesn't change the meaning of what I was arguing, but does make a lot more sense. The error is mine. —Klosterman]
Chuck Klosterman is the author of six books. His novel The Visible Man will be released in October.
I find Louie to be in the same comedic category as the office but 1000% better in every way possible. One profound point from the article you copied is that while there is a sense of discomfort trainwreck style comedy it is absolutely not uncomfortable to watch, but delightful.
To me the office (us version) was just terrible, i could never get into it. It was like a bad dogbert cartoon written for 8 year olds. The situations and writing was forced and generally uncomfortable in every way possible.
With Louie, there is so much depth to every episode. It really is groundbreaking stuff. Because, that is only part of it. There are different facets to the show, added every week. I think it is a more profound move forward in TV comedy because of its depth, variety, and complexity than anyone understands yet...
I recently read a pretty interesting article about Louis CK, discussing the philosophy behind his comedy. Really made me view his show and comedy in a different perspective. It took me a while to really appreciate his show, but I would agree it's better than the office and 95% of the shows on today.

Thats so cool, I really like the way his mind works, and how in tune he seems to be with peoples motivations... Great experiment to show that the "piracy" problem (yar!!) is not as simple as people just stealing anything they can.. Great spot on O&A this week, glad he finally released the numbers..
I agree, not only is the guy hilarious but he's really impressive with his awareness of shit.Quote:

Seinfeld said he's been using the same shit for 10 years and acted so superior and arrogant that Rock and Gervais didn't balk at it at all but Louie unflinchingly contradicted Seinfeld because he so firmly believes that he's right, and knows exactly what people want to see.
Anyway, guy impresses the hell out of me...I gotta start watching more of his shit.
Louis CK was a guest on a 2-part podcast called The BS Report with Bill Simmons. Kind of interesting because the BS report is a podcast usually about sports in some fashion, but also about nonsense every once in a while. It's a really good podcast, I recommend listening to it. My personal favorite is every Monday they do a show where two guys play a game where they try to guess the lines for the following week's NFL games. They also discuss the games from the week before and other stuff. For anyone who ever listened to Mike & The Mad Dog, they do a spot on impression sometimes that is hilarious.

I was reading about his charity giving on Reddit this morning. He is too damn likeable. The funny thing is you feel like you're so connected to him because he is so open and forward about everything, I wanted to be like dude just keep that money, you earned it!
I gave my $5 last night and watched the special. It was very funny, definitely worth the $5. I liked it a lot better than his last special, I think it was called Hilarious.
His strategy is working perfectly though. The download started out slow so I thought I'd check torrents to see if I could get it quicker, AFTER I spent my $5. There was only one tracker I found and it had like 250 comments of people yelling at the poster lol. Then the download sped up and I didn't need it anyway.
Louis CK Secretly Releases Another Online-Only Special
http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/11/lou...-only-special/Quote:
Comedian Louis CK has just released a new comedy special, WORD: Live At Carnegie Hall as another download/streaming offering. The special costs $5 and follows on the heels of his previous special, Live At The Beacon Theatre.
CK did no preliminary press for the release and this special contains content that fans might recognize from other live shows as well as his TV program, Louie.
Comedian Jim Gaffigan also recently released a download-only comedy special as did Aziz Ansari. The specials aim to avoid the potential censorship and, more important, the cost of working with broadcast and cable networks.
Sadly, Louis CK’s site seems to be down right now but you’ll be able to pick the special up for streaming and DRM-free download shortly.
Awsome..
This will also be on FX tomorrow night, 9pm cst i think.
The beacon one is on Fx and it's edited down to 40 minutes and all the fucks are taken out. He says in a interview he it trying to drive people to his site to buy the un-edited version plus he really owes Fx and thought letting them air it would be nice.
