i think it was pretty risky putting the audience in the perspective of a child molester. in order to what? think about why people try to achieve criminal ends? that'd be a good endevor. but who knows? it could have been that it just went off "not so smoothly" and then it turned out that way.

That's what his standup is all about though. He loves to get into very awkward situations and try to weasel his way out of it looking clean.

Bill Burr is up there man.
IMO they are tied for the best.
Said this to a friend earlier. Rogans humor has gotten a bit more "tame" imo opinion kinda looses me at times. I still need to peep chappelles new shit though

Yea that shit was great. His show was good early on, by the 3rd season it started sucking, by 4th season it was painful and a fight to finish what I had downloaded.

Tim and eric are gods of comedy. I personally would say mostly tim. Erics humor comes more from pushing people into the most awkward zones they'll ever experience, amd even as a die hard fan who grew up on their show, it still seems to get pushed a little to far. But yeah tim and eric and andy kaufman are the best comedians ever. I fucking love louis ck though.

I watch Louie and I feel like I understand his comedy and intentions. The dude has a bright mind and I think he wants to be observant and thoughtful, but also funny enough that people will think about what he said later and look at it from a different perspective. He's not the type of comedian that sits around trying to think about shit that's funny, he's the type of guy that sits around thinking about everything and the world's just naturally hilarious to him.
There's a part in his show where he makes his older daughter a special smoothie. Then his other daughter finds out and goes, "Where's mine?" He then tries to tell her that he didn't make her one and that if she waits maybe he will make her sometng later. He said something along the lines of, 'the only time you look in your neighbor's bowl is to see if they have enough.' Then he caves because she's not understanding. That's the kind of thing you see from him.
If you look at the piece, and even what he said when he finished his bit, he had a point. And the whole time he talked about kids. I'll probably take time to think about it some more but my best conclusion at this point is that the kids are disadvantaged and he wanted to point that out in some way.

I just saw the clip... That's hilarious (using L.CK's saying).. People need to shut the fuck up and live their own damn life if this shit is really pissing them off.
Also, someone in here mentioned Bill Burr.. I saw one of his skits on Netflix and turned it on last night. . LCK and him are equally as funny as each other. Easily my two favorite comedians. (it was my 1st time seeing Burr)

We have the episode recorded but haven't watched it yet. Anyone who has a problem with his humor can fuck off though. People who water down comedy to appease the masses create the most banal and IQ lowering material, it's almost unwatchable, which is nearly the state of current SNL.
I am calling it though, the cast after this one will be the reawakening of SNL. You heard it here first.

The controversy is that SNL had a funny opening monologue for once

This is just good ole Louis C.K.
people are always going to be offended by what a comedian says, at least good comics.
You haters probably think Jeff Dunham and Gabriel Iglesias are the best comics alive

That's fine, you and everyone else don't have to find it funny and there is nothing wrong with that, but if you try to use that as a reason why he shouldn't be able to tell the joke, you think way too highly of your own opinion, and must live in a fantasy world where you think the only things allowed to be said are what you deem acceptable to hear.
Not saying you do or don't think like that, but as long as you don't think that way, then it is perfectly fine that you didn't find it funny, I still find some things Louie says unfunny and he's one of my favorites, but I would never try to censor someone because I don't like it, considering other people might enjoy it or get a laugh at it.

I agree, I hate "clean" comics but that's just my opinion, and some people are the total opposite, which is perfectly fine and just their particular taste, but my point was that no body should try to censor someone just because they didn't agree with what was said, the true backlash would be if a lot of people disagree and stopped listening to him and were no longer fans, but not telling him he can't do it or try to make it so he isn't allowed to perform it, and anything more then him losing some fans, is fabricated controversy, words can only have as much power as you give them.
