- Hey everyone, today's video is on Louis C.K and the long set of trials and tribulations he endured early on in his comedy career that led to him becoming a legend. One of the most iconic things about Louis C.K is his ability to tread dark, strange, and personal topics in such a way where he provides honest reflection in a humorous manner. His TV Show Louie also encapsulates the good, the bad, and the ugly moments of the human experience perfectly. This unique voice and lens was absolutely revolutionary for the comedy world and it has led to the influence of some of the hottest rising names in comedy currently such as Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, Sam Morril, Andrew Schulz, and so many more. He also was influenced by some of the greatest comedians such as Norm Macdonald, Patrice O'Neal, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, and many more. I hope you guys enjoyed this video.

this dude is definitely on my top 3. dude is so funny, even his controversies are fkn hilarious.
Lmao
Louis is a philosopher. He inspired me to start standup.
Hard not to put Louie on the Mount Rushmore of comedians; dude is pure genius 💯
You can say that again. He’s one of the most influential comedians working today
For me, a Mt Rushmore of comedy would be too difficult 😅
Another banger, Nate! When I was 13, I watched every episode of The Dana Carvey Show. Decades later, when I realized Louis CK was the head writer, it all made sense.
Thank you for the kind words Todd. I appreciate you tuning in every video ❤️ and yeah Louis was great on the Dana Carvey Show
Louis is a brilliantly deep philosopher who mastered how to make you laugh & then actually think more about the topic later.
I could tell you really know what you're talking about when you got to the stuff about "sitting in the pocket", you're 1000% correct about that. It's one of the hardest things to learn, especially in high pressure moments where most new comics tend to speed up by default. This is a cool channel. Good job dude.
Thanks a lot brother. I’ve been doing comedy several years, and I’m still a beginner learning to sit in the pocket myself. It takes time. I’m glad you loved the video though brother, I hope you subscribe to see more 🥲❤️
When it comes to shooting and directing his own concert specials, Louis is also quite a remarkable filmmaker, a devoted student of the "less is more" simple approach to shooting a concert, similar to Scorsese's Last Waltz or Demme's Stop Making Sense. Chewed Up, Hilarious, and Live At The Beacon has some of the best examples of that back-to-basics idea. They're on par with the likes of "Richard Pryor: Live In Concert" and Margaret Cho's "I'm The One That I Want."
I agree. He definitely knows what he’s doing behind the camera in addition to being an undeniable funny fella
One thing I Love about taking in Louis comedy is that they are ALL albums. I wish other comedians would go back to albums instead of just Netflix specials. Soo much better
The premise of your channel is a really outstanding one, in that it fills a void in so many ways. Not everyone is so into the whole comic scene that they (I) need a channel that offers a bunch of info and answers many questions. Was recently looking for stuff on the “Philly incident” and you gave us exactly the context and info I was interested in. Thanks! You’ll only grow with such a level of research, knowledge and presentation!
What a great synopsis of a comedy legend. Nice work.😊
Thank you for the kind words Mark ❤️
He can keep Jackin' it in front of women...I don't give a fuck. He is a comedic genius.
@doom3798bro Louie asked if it was okay and they said yes. Creepy? Yes. Dangerous sexual predator? Not at all.
@doom3798 I'm a woman & I agree NOT with u. You see worse on public transportation. U do realize by throwing around words like s*xual pre*ator HURTS the REAL victims right??
The one thing people forget is that Louie CK has constantly showed America the one thing they refuse to believe - Gingers have souls.
Louis is top 1 comics of all time.
I was visiting home and caught a movie with my mom. It was a Woody Allen movie he was in. She doesn't give a fuck about anything except smoking. And she said "anyone in this guy's stuff is a weirdo".
Normies always see right through their shit.
I first knew Louis as the guy with the initials as his last name on the closing credits of early Conan shows. I remember saying to myself that you can't have initials as a last name. 90's Conan was the best late night show ever.
If he's not a genius, then he's at least very close to being one. Someone who's this good in their field and also great as a filmmaker, and scriptwriter, comes around less than once in a generation.
Totally agree
His nine eleven denier bit is legendary
I remember when they came with the controversy and I found he didn’t do anything with her just with himself and laughed so hard!
I got him 3rd all time! The living goat! LOUIE
Same here actually. For me it’s Norm, Patrice, and then Louie. Heck yeah
I got carlin pryor louie
@TB-qz4uz if u dont c it u dont c it wat do u want from me bro 🤣 go have a nice warm glass of milk andctake a nap ✌️
As a huge fan of Louis, this was very interesting. Thanks!
I love to hear that, thank you for watching ❤️
He was a legend before the incident and after I don’t care bout cancel culture
Subscribe! Great video dude only half way thru but still
Thank you brother
That whole thing five years ago with the leaked set was pretty ridiculous. Was it Seth McFarland who got all pompous and self righteous toward him because he wasn’t being “pc” enough for all the beautiful people?
Nah it was Judd Apatow and Pete Holmes, I’m actually gonna a make a video and cover that because there’s a lot of crazy details
@@TheComedyHistorian I completely meant JA, sorry bout that. Seth is completely different and hilarious and way better. I saw that interview w/ Jim Breuer there as well (podcast I guess). PH and JA were insufferably arrogant imo, almost vomit inducing. Fortunately Breuer (apologize if it wasn’t him🤔) was excellent in talking abt how “pc/wokeism” is death to comedy, regardless of whether a particular bit is or isn’t “acceptable” to the virtue police. And moreover it wasn’t meant to be made public.
I actually haven’t even heard the Louis set except for a few clips, which were the ones that were so very offensive to those guys. I didn’t really find it all that shocking because he was speaking about the classmates who were out there taking advantage of the incident to push gun control. Regardless of one’s views on that, Louis certainly wasn’t making fun of kids who were victims but the ones using it for a cause and just their attitude. Anyway, the point is they immediately decided to trash Louis for being insensitive etc based on something not intended to be made public. Also its transparent when self righteous people are trashing someone to advance themselves by pretending to be better than they really are. It’s such a pussy move esp for comedians toward a fellow comedian.
7:30 lmao are you serious? the joke is he doesn't understand that people make that noise in environments where they want don't just want you to be quiet, they want everyone to be quiet (this includes the person making the noise)
Im not a fan of Louie, i dont find him funny, like at all. But i can understand why people do. 🤷♂️ he seems like he has mastered his craft.
😂
I do comedy too it's amazing how the art changes
Algorithm
It's short for shut up
I'm sorry my guy that joke about shushing is not a good suggestion for an alternative 😂observation sure, but then he just ends it on a goofy punchline because he's being weird.
The Carlin comparison is criminal imo, he's nothing like Carlin, even in his later years when he actually becomes really good, his actual "deep" social/life observations also still only really lend themselves to him then doing a dark or edgy punchline. Which is good don't get me wrong, just absolutely nothing like Carlin.
Carlin was basically a politic activist by the end.
Also he would have hated Louie for being a disgusting creep
Comedy is not about jokes, it's about making a difference. This is why I, too, think Carlin is #1!

Mel Brooks is a 10 on the hyper/overrated meter. I'd put Louis CK at about an 8.
I disagree wholeheartedly. Louis has some good material, but I never laugh consistently. I could watch a Mel Brooks movie at just about any time. Give me the choice between Sincerely and Blazing Saddles, and I'm choosing Blazing Saddles 100 times out of 100.
Idk I think Louis is one of the greatest for sure
@@TheComedyHistorian I think it's just a matter of taste. I see why people like him, but he probably doesn't even get in my top 10. My favourite all-time standup is Carlin, and favourite contemporary standup is Jeselnik.
@@rowzdwr not sure why that's shameless. I chose a Mel Brooks film I like (I could have just as easily said Spaceballs, young Frankenstein, or Robin Hood: men in tights), and I said Sincerely because it was the name of a special mentioned in the video (and I don't generally know the names of Louis CK's specials). Substitute your favourite special in for sincerely and one of Brooks' other movies for blazing saddles,, and from my point of view, the statement remains equally true.
@@settheory2219 He's talking about Louie's special "Shameless"
One of my favorite things about Louis is there are many comedians who, you can tell are, but refuse to mention they were influenced by him. A kind of “he who shall not be named” thing
Ohhh boy I'm ready to be shocked!!!!
Fucking love Louis
It’s a shame the jackin scandal came out at the beginning of the me too movement. He got roped it with rapists and people who truly did horrible things. What did Louie do? Politely as if he can jack in front of them. And they said yes
Definitely the best comedy star. Not just with comedy specials, but also as an actor producer and director. If.me too didn't happen to Louis at that point in his career we wouldn't be talking why comedians can't make good movies.
I joined the CK train when I saw the Comedy Central performance. Then "Shameless" aired, and I saw this dude as a comedy god. I was 16 and related to a 40+ year old man's sad life and marriage.
On Opie and Anthony. He got a big boost from them.
Louie changed the game. Also, Horace&Pete is fuckin amazing
