In case you needed a reminder that Louis CK is terrible... (Check threadmarks for staff post)

I listened to it.
His relation gets lost between targeting specific children of a school shooting standing before congress and making them the focal point of his diatribe.
I don't know, they testify in front of Congress, these kids. I mean, what the fuck? What are you doing? You're young, you should be crazy, you should be unhinged. They're in suits saying "I'm here to tell you..." Fuck you, you're not interesting because you went to a high school where kids got shot.
He framed victims of a school shooting standing before congress as an annoying publicity stunt, named the specific number of dead and then in the laziest of ways try to tie in unfair media coverage.
He ain't slick.
"Louie CK shouldn't be trashing trans people and HS shooting victims"
"THE THOUGHT POLICE ARE ON PATROL, censoring comedians"
Leave it to shitty centrists to both sides repulsive rants disguised as jokes.
"You ever have a whole bad year? You ever have an entire year that sucks 365 shit cunt days in a row?"
Yeah, actually I have. Still didn't bring me to the point of making weird jokes that kids of a school shooting speaking out are trying to feel special. What a weird fucking angle.

Have you ever been to a comedy club? Dissecting shitty jokes and observations happens all the time.
You do realize most people here have probably stepped foot in a comedy club?
And what does this even mean
This is something from 1300s. If you look at how english was spoken ages ago its not even the same language. 1500s etc was unrecognizable to us. I feel its perfectly natural to pick a new word which is not plural. Picking a plural sounding word which implies the spectrum of both/none/ one or the other is perfectly fine as it would be something people on the spectrum would want. If you want change now pick a word which works now etc. And Im saying Im all for it . I feel it should be adopted pick any word which doesnt already have context etc. Its nothing disrecpecful.
Probably more than you have. 99.9% of people don't think twice about anything that's said in there.
I've been to several comedy shows and have seen Bill Burr do an hour-long stand-up special live (which was great, BTW)
Nothing I've seen comes close to "what do those school shooting survivors from this specific school shooting have to complain about?"
Did you have the same mentality as you do now when 9/11 happened? Were those 9/11 jokes "just jokes?" Come on, dude.
You listened to the 2 minute clip or the entire show? Because you just quoted something from the 2 minute clip again. Apologies if I wasn't clear that I was describing context / call-backs of those bits brought up here to the rest of his half hour set.
Always boggles my mind what these idiots think "the market" actually is.
They seem to think it's uninformed consumers. Being able to gather information about a product before buying that product is apparently not the market.
It's ridiculous that these celeb abusers are acting like their lives have ended when at worst they'll most likely end up unemployed multi-millionaires. The rumors have been out for years and this fool can't realize he's had one hell of a grace period before the truth was confirmed.
Lmao that lady was wild.
It's so disappointing and frustrating that this is what Louis CK has become. He was legitimately my favorite comedian and I considered him in a class of his own. It makes me wonder if this is what he's really been like the whole time and just had a left leaning veneer when those people were "on his side".
The sexual assault stuff was bad, but I had hoped that with how often he seemed like a self aware and thoughtful person that he would actually reflect on his past behavior and become better for it. But this is clearly not the path he is taking. Seems like he's just going to embrace the ugly shit.

Good for you dude. The rest of us comedy plebs (including other noted comedians who've also already expressed disgust) are just too fucking simple, to understand the sanctity of being able to make an awful joke with no punch line about yelling at school shooting survivors to shut the fuck up.
Yeah, see, that's not true. Just because you engage passively doesn't mean everyone else does. Talking shit about bits and deconstructing jokes was something a group of my buddies used to do after shows.
Ah, yeah, I caught about 10 minutes after the parkland bit and called it quits.

Because 99.9% of people walk into the club knowing that nothing that's said in there is to be taken seriously.
...All that for the "its just a joke, bro!" defense.
I expected better...
Comedy changes.
A joke that worked 100 years ago doesn't work now.
It changes because tastes change and tastes changes because people talk to each other.
This nonsense idea that comedy is somehow elevated above criticism and discourse is one of those weird super modern things.
Like how do you guys think culture happens? It's not static. Culture is change.

Yeah, friends going out to have fun at comedy clubs and talk about 'em later is definitely something only .1% of audiences do afterwards. dang elitists
First off I'm gonna need receipts on 99.9 percent of people who attend a comedy show don't ever think about anything that's being said.. You know, since you're a comedy club expert and all, surely you have them?
Second, you're extrapolating your dismissive opinion to represent all attendees which is absurd.
Third, it's really fucking clear that Louie CK is venting and that there's real emotion behind this set in which is being dressed up as jokes. Dude has bitterness and resentment all over his delivery.
It's almost like there are sometimes real life emotions behind some comedy bits.
But.. You already knew all of this
Surprisingly, no, from a historical political theory perspective. Same with anarcho-communism which derived from similar ideological roots. It's very utopian and unrealistic.
Basic concept is that you want worker control over the means of production but want to prevent the emergence of any sort of centralised government or state to oversee it.
It hasn't really be a practiced ideology in almost a century due to how the the meaning of "libertarian" has changed since then.
It was just the poster's utterly failed attempt to sound intelligent.
I stand by what I said. Just because you don't like Louie doesn't make what I said untrue. In my experience, most, if not all people, walk out unoffended.
If you can stop blowing hot air up your own ass for a second
Explain your previous defense of Roseanne when she turned out to be a raging bigot, because it seems connected to you defending vile shit in general. You also framed it as "She's a comedian! So what!".
"I bet none of you had the same year that I had… You ever have a whole bad year? Have you ever had an entire year that sucks, 365 shit cunt days in a row?" he asked.
After some in the audience appeared to be shocked at his extensive joke about people with mental disabilities, C.K. told the crowd: "Fuck it, what are you going to take away, my birthday? My life is over, I don't give a shit. You can be offended, you can get mad at me."
My favourite part of the "set". He criticises the Parkland survivors for daring to speak up about the fucking mass shooting they had to endure then whines about how unfair it is that he had to face any consequences for his own actions.
The only funny part of that video was when he talked about losing 35 mil in a day after the scandal.

What, you got like a box of ears or something? You carry that around? Psycho.
Probably means he listens to some racist and/or misogynistic and/or transphobic and/or homophobic and/or otherwise bigoted ass comedians and thinks that's what all comedians do. "it's a work in progress" is generally a reeeally shitty defense of blatant bigotry. How about not being a bigot in the first place?
Another generalization. Unless you took a personal survey, there's no way of knowing what the hell people thought. A diverse group of people are going to have unique opinions on a myriad of subjects and sometimes they conflict with others. Unless you're a fuckin' stone of a person you'll have some yourself.
There's nothing weird about digging through my earlier posts.
Probably more fun than your bunch who give hateful bigotry a pass just because a comedian said it.
It's interesting how you're making sweeping generalizations of entire audiences without knowing anything about their feelings about a particular show.
Now that we're throwing out random anecdotes, I've personally walked away from offensive shows without a visible reaction.
You only have 90 it was pretty easy. You don't think you're completely transparent?
Using comedy as a way to state your shitty opinions and expecting no consequences is getting so old.
Are we really gonna play this in a topic where you're basically criticizing people for not enjoying the "comedy stylings" of a known sexual offender?
So? People are shitty and do not care about hateful bigotry being spouted in public. That doesn't make it ok. Try setting yourself in a transgender person's shoes and how they feel when a successful, widely known comedian compares being transgender & asking for some level of thoughtfulness when addressing them to identifying as a location/helicopter.
To add on, there are literal responses from Parkland victims and families making it clear Louie's shit isn't funny or OK. Guess they never have and never should step foot in a comedy club.
