I never thought Louis CK should have lost his career and I was a huge fan of his material before the scandal. But if he's going to jump on the alt-right "LOL what's up with all these genders, amirite?" bandwagon to salvage his career like some kind of comedic Kanye West, I'm no longer interested.

You think Louis is alt-right?

Omg. :lmao

You must have missed his latest performance.

I heard it. It was hilarious.

They're called jokes. Not his actual opinion. You're making my point.

[DarrinS]

You only found his set funny because he confirmed your actual opinion :lmao small minded faggot :lmao

You dumb, boy

People watch comedy to laugh. Not to confirm an opinion.

[baseline bum]

You must have missed his latest performance.

Where is it broadcast on? HBO Special? Netflix? Stormfront?

[AaronY]

dang man conservatives are tough minded..so you know these attacks must really be bad going at them when they have to cry 24/7 on and on about how twitters, facebook, hollywood, and the media is hurting their feelings day and night and their only recourse is to boo hoo about it all over the country on internet and in reality

You need to go back to your word quota, tbh.

Hey DarrinS, I hear you find Louis CK funny even when he doesn’t confirm your worldview! Enjoy these! Because of course you’re just here for jokes!

It's a righteous enough rant; did you think that this was gonna get any real traction here with the chumpettes who love to be sheperded by their superiors?

[Spurtacular]

It was spot on; that's pretty well what made it funny, buzz killington.

[Spurtacular]

Did you find those clips funny?

If you bothered to watch the OP vid, you'd know this is an irrelevant question.

[HarlemHeat37]

I still don't really understand the Louis CK thing, tbh:lol

So he jerked off in front of women that he asked first, and if they said no, then he didn't do it?

Just sounds like a cac with a weird fetish..am I missing something? Was it abuse of power or something of that nature? I haven't looked into it, but I see the Twitter outrage every time his name is mentioned..

[Spurminator]

They're called jokes. Not his actual opinion. You're making my point.

Regardless, they were "OMG, what's the deal with all these genders" jokes. You find them funny. Cool. That doesn't contradict my point. I never said they reflected his actual opinions. That doesn't matter. Neither of us, I imagine, follows comedians for their actual personal opinions. It's the material. And male-victimhood material is lazy and dull.

Yea, I remember that now. I know I'm not eager to go to bat for someone who did that (no pun intended). :lol

I'm just sympathizing with the video p.o.v. Applying political correctness to comedy is dicey.

I hope they offer it to him and he turns it down. I gained some respect for him when he refused to apologize.

His refusal to apologize was kind of lame; it was basically I don't feel at all bad for being an outright dick.

The most interesting angle in all this is how Hollywood's two most protected and sugarcoated demographics: gays and blacks - don't really get along.

I don’t think he’s doing that, his most recent stuff about how someone isn’t an expert on gun policy who we should listen to just because he went to a school where a shooting happened seemed politics neutral.

The 100 different genders stuff also strikes me as fair game for comedians. There’s a difference between completely denying that some people are born transgender vs. making fun of college students who have no gender identity issues yet insist on being referred to as some weird gender classification.

[Trill Clinton]

Bring back Louis CK, who is def NOT a conservative

And, this is just sad

No thanks. Sexual deviants do not need a platform.

[pgardn]

The educated middle-class telling us...

WTF?

He makes decent points and then tries to pin the blame on the educated middle-class?

So this is aimed at the dumbass lower class to understand?
He was flying fine and then just veered and ran the plane into the side of the mountain.


Somebody get a staple for that ear piece.

[DarrinS]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VfwPhnNGLY

[pgardn]

So basically what we got it’s a guy who understands why we laugh at things getting out raged and telling supposedly educated people why we laugh at things and then blaming the cause of not understanding why we laugh at things on the educated middle-class.

The tired old method of using a good argument, and then because of the respect it garners, going further and making a horrible argument. We see that on this board as well.

[baseline bum]

All three of Louis CK's TV shows have been pretty good.

Haven't seen any but I don't watch regular TV (no hipster).

When you see a funny comic like Chappelle, as long as they have creative freedom on the show and it's not censored by the sponsor Nazis on some dumbed down version of their routine, it's fine.

[Spurminator]

If you find the clip, people are laughing. That's comedy

I can find clips of Gallagher comedy routines with people laughing too. I can find Trump rallies with people laughing. What does that have to do with anything?

[Spurminator]

As is Amy Schumer's snowflake "comedy."

I've never found Amy Schumer's routine funny. Her show had some moments, but her standup is pretty weak.

I think you guys are misunderstanding me. Louis CK has every right to touch on these subjects however he wants. People are free to find them funny. I find them tired and old. South Park did tranny comedy better with the Randy/dolphin episode. That was over ten years ago, though.

I typically don't find comedy funny when it piles on people who already face prejudice and mean-spiritedness on a daily basis. I like comedy that punches up.

But I do not think he should be censored or boycotted or prevented from having a career in comedy.

Nice retort from a tired slow asshole.

[koriwhat]

the worst of all rn is hasan minhaj... that dude is so far from a comedian it's not even funny just like his act. just because he is muslim isn't my reason for hating on him; my reason was giving his shit special a chance and sitting through a hr+ of him crying about how much of a struggle it is growing up muslim and how he's looked down on and whatnot. where were the fucking jokes at tbh? the jokes on yall for calling all these lame fucks(him, schumer, etc...) comedians.

It's almost impossible to find a funny joke that doesn't denigrate someone or a class. Hell, even the old standby aggie jokes are bad because they shit on aggies. Blonde jokes call for capital punishment now because they denigrate women. And the list of unacceptable goes on and on.

What's funny about that?

[monosylab1k]

This all goes back to DarrinS (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=2042)’s crippling fear of college students, and how comedians are all having a hissy fit over being kicked off stage at college campuses. Suddenly Darrin loves liberal minded comedians because they’re butting heads with these college kids that trigger him.

I hated Nanette. It was a sermon, not a comedic act.

Sounds like, for you, jokes against maligned classes of people that you don't relate to are fair game, but jokes against conservative Presidents, congressmen, pundits, etc. aren't your thing. Guessing Colbert and John Oliver aren't your cup of tea.

We all have our preferences.

Maybe a bit of a rocky start, mainly because Burr brought up the "rage comic" intro and Colbert asked him to elaborate. Didn't see much issue with the rest of it. Seemed pretty amicable. It wasn't like David Letterman vs. Paris Hilton or anything. But I don't usually watch late night interviews anyway. I'm sure they're not always comedy gold.
