I know he already has a thread, but he deserves two IMHO. |
meh...
|
One of my few fav living comedians
|
Awesome possum.
|
Love this guy. He's my favorite comedian right now and has been for the last several years. I enjoy that he does new material every time, and does it quite frequently.
|
Like his standup but his show sucks. I can't figure out why I'm the only one who thinks this

Ok Im glad. Normally I just hear how great it is. Lucky Louie sucked too.
|
IDK I felt the Louis show had a certain level of depth and creativity. Especially since he edits the show himself
|
I think Louis stretched himself a little thin. I bought the standup special that he sold on his website and thought it was good. To me, it seemed like Louie at 80%. That is still better than most comedy specials but, he is capable of a lot more. Louis was a killer onstage 2004-2009.

love his stuff.
I stumbled upon a comedy show/hour by a guy named Filipe Esparza; never heard of him. I was laughing my balls off. he reminds me of a mexican Mitch Hedberg. Or at least, some of his stuff reminds me of Mitch. |

I didn't find CK's special tonight that great. It had moments, but his last couple of specials just haven't really done as much for me. He's still probably my favorite comedian, but maybe the law of diminishing returns is in play here.
|
If there's a more culturally relevant comedian right now than this guy, I don't know who it is.
I suppose you could argue Jon Stewart is, which is compelling, but misses the point, which is that whatever anyone thinks of Louis CK, he's "moving the needle" right now. |

I found little to no laughs at this last night. He is very over rated. Just told short stories with very little punch lines or jokes. Not as bad or talentless as Dane Cook but he just doesn't make me laugh much.
I just don't see what all the fuss is with this guy. I'm a huge fan of people like Steven Wright, Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Lewis Black, and of course the old timers like Carlin, Pryor, Redd Foxx, and Eddie Murphy |
I loved his old show Lucky Louie - awesome that HBO is capitalizing on his recent re-emergence and showing it again.
I just think he needs a good comic foil. By himself he's good...surround him with a strong cast and he's great. |

but yeah, he's no Mitch etc. |

if hedburg would have got sober we'd be talking about how he got lame in his older years.

Just because he joked about murdering your own children doesn't mean he is edgy. He is a more "honest" comedian than the current comedians but he's not even to the level of a Robin Williams, little own Carlin. Stewart is currently the most socially/politically significant comedian on the planet. But, he usually just mocks and points out the hypocrisy of his targets. It's still not the warts and all approach of Carlin. |

Last night on HBO they had a repeat of Wanda Sykes' special from 2009 "I'ma Be Me"
I laughed my balls off for nearly the entire show. ROFL She puts Louis CK to shame. This is well worth watching if you haven't seen it! Here's a snippet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIBx1...0D450D38B74E4E |
She has an annoying ass voice, but year..she'll smash a room.
