Louie

[louisck]

I don't know if you remember, Louis, but when you performed at the Tampa Theater last year (11/20/10), there was a lady's voice doing the upcoming show announcements beforehand ("And we'll have the Christmas show coming up in December...cause it's more...Chrismassy then"). It sounded kind of like you doing a woman's voice. Was it?

Tampa. Hm.... Trying to remember.... Oh yeah. Now I remember. Fuck you.

anyway yeah it was me. I do a version of that before every show.

When I saw Louis in Columbus a couple of years ago (I can't remember the date, but it was during the Hilarious tour), he shut down a loud obnoxious guy from off stage during the fake announcements. It was astonishing to see the guy get torn down by an empty stage. I probably got more enjoyment from it than I should've because the guy was sitting near me and I was dreading listening to him during the show.

That is wonderful. All I do before comedy shows when I'm in the audience is dread how awful the people around me are going to be, but you know, that's me in Movie theaters, bank lines, grocery stores and so on.

I don't think I've laughed harder at this show than I did at that smile when he was leaving at the end.

My love for this show and for this fuckin' guy almost makes me understand what was going through that crazy twat Billy Jean's head with that whole Michael Jackson's baby shit.

[MikThrontveit]

How dare you! That almost made me feel.

No but really, I almost teared up during that last part. That was beautiful, sad and funny.

... in other words, perfect. That was a perfect thing.

I feel so lucky to be able to enjoy this show. Also, it's awesome that others like it too, so it can continue.

Easily one of the best seasons of television that I've ever seen. Really tough to pick a favorite episode, as they were all so strong, but I'm leaning towards the Stanhope episode. I can't wait until Season 3.

[Michael Williamson]

Okay, can I have these on blu-ray now?

P.S. - Chris Rock was awesome.

[Umlaut]

Oh yeah, I guess this was the season finale, wasn't it?

Great, now I'm even more depressed.

This is the best show.

[shallowgal]

Episodes 6 & 7 are available on hulu for those that need to re-watch.
I definitely feel the need on the Pamela/Subway episode (episode 6) ~ I guess the agreement with FX allows them to have 2 episodes available @ a time (these will be up until the 16th). Not available for the other devices though. sigh.

This show is so great. I feel compelled to gush and at the same time I feel a little speechless.

[DiscoInferiorityComplex]

I really want to believe that Louis just spent all morning refreshing his "Helpful Post Rating" page while mentally high-fiving himself

[Umlaut]

That description could work for any episode, really.

[AstroChicken]

I've had the last episode ready to go for the past few days, but I don't really want to watch it. I think I'm gonna keep it as a "break glass in case of emergency" type thing.

[SeanX3]

It's a good'un.

[beewcar]

great finale. Awesome guest stars as well, hope Rock comes back for more, and Wright comes back with more bad advice that he wouldn't do himself. My favorite guest star is always Todd Barry and his hatred for Louie though.

F.

Murray.

Abraham.

AV Club Louie Walkthrough

[Hoov]

Great, the one's with Dan Harmon and Michael Schur were superb, looking forward to reading all these.

[Weinerslave]

One of the commenters at the AV Club noted that Louie exhibits more knowledge of the technical aspects of making a TV show than Harmon or Schur, and that made me think that "showrunner" is an inadequate term for what Louie does on this show. Guys like Schur and Harmon oversee a writing and production staff. Louie basically IS the writing and production staff! That's absolutely unprecedented, especially when the transcendent quality of the show being produced is taken into consideration. There should be a different term for Louie, I think. "Showruler??" "Showmaker?" "Showgod?" Something.

P.S. I just have to express the awesomeness of the season finale, particularly the last shot, which is one of the most brilliant combinations of comedy and tragedy I have ever seen. Fuck it, it IS the best. Nobody else currently going in the creative arts is interested in dealing with both of those currents at the same time. Best thing ever, basically.
