No dude a lot of people like Louis C.K.

Because he's usually pretty funny.

You're in a minority.

But a literary equivalent of Louis? Maybe Kurt Vonnegut: irreverent, abject, puts the human body in your face. To boot, there's a small group of detractors fancying themselves the arbiters of taste who think he's juvenile and "not real literature."

Louis C.K. know what's going on. He's all shock humour, and there's not much effort needed with shock humour, but he's effective. It's like South Park killing Kenny every episode, because every kid has something like that hanging over them and needs some control over it. The only thing is, he makes a mockery of human decency for our being able to take comfort in such things. Solipsism. Big scary daddy plays peek-a-boo. No comedian is any different, because we don't laugh at anything else. He's good.

>That whole post

>> No.5031402

I watched some of his old videos, where he tried making jokes about existential shit the whole time, and though he'd pick on things that'd make you go "Yeah, what the fuck is the deal with that," he'd never make you laugh, and so never was a comedian. That's the art -- getting laughs. He gets them. Popularity is the mark of being a good comedian. Heck, it's the mark of being a good anything.

>> No.5031404

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who is aware he's a stammering mediocrity and at the worst, a plagiarist. In comedy everyone "bites" off each other but I've seen entire bits of other peoples acts just cut up and smelling a little different.

He was never terrible he was just never great, and he found his niche to spew his bullshit to.

He panders to an audience who's humour is in direct conflict with that of an intelligent demographics and by pandering to this anti-intellectual lowest common denominator audience bracket he has gained popularity, and as such a rapidly deteriorating quality of work as necessity no longer dictates that he be witty or clever or genuine in what he says or does.

Could be said about any popular artist, which doesn't make it pandering.

>and as such a rapidly deteriorating quality of work as necessity no longer dictates that he be witty or clever or genuine in what he says or does.
I haven´t seen a decline in his material at all, I think his best was Live At Beacon Theater, which is fairly new.

Leary already had stolen material from hicks, not even steal he literally took part of his act and took credit for it.

There's only so many ways you can tell a joke, of course you're going to find some relation to someone else telling the same joke. It's fucking jokes. Why must we scrutinize a comedian? He's successful, people enjoy him, FX has allowed him to do whatever the fuck he wants because he is successful. Don't watch him if you don't like him.

Because I'm discontent that one of my favorite forms of entertainment is dying of necrosis and only more mediocrities are made everyday. I get it, yes jokes get passed around and maybe there IS no way to create a truly unique joke that nobody has even alluded to before but it's a systematic dumbing-down of what should be funny, what should be surreal and what should be just some unfunny retard making scrounged up faces and placing way too much emphasis on words that in the back of all of our heads.

Chris Rock called Louis CK something to the extent of "the blackest, white guy he knows".

Also, what happened to Chris Rock? I've never seen him as a great but he used to be edgy as fuck. Now during interviews, shows, and movies he comes off as almost Wayne Brady level-white.
