About LinkBacksI thought that scene with Marc was just fucking brilliant.

Um. Bammer had crabs, and she gave it to Louis. I was crying from laughing so hard. Then the Sarah, Louis, Marc vignette was great too. This has been a fucking powerhouse of a season.

I remember that joke about shortening "Silverman-Abromowitz" to just "Jews" from the first thing that Sarah Silverman did on SNL in 1993, when she went on Weekend Update and just did her stand-up routine basically. I give you a 23-year old Sarah in her first appearance on SNL:
This ended up being really the only thing of note she did on SNL and she was gone by the end of the season.
I assume the show Louis was watching being called "Remember the '80s" was just a joke, because the clips shown weren't THAT old, they would have been from the early '90s I think.
It's a shame a young Dave Attell wasn't also included, they could have just run this photo from a 1995 New York Magazine under the credits.

Their jokes are suspiciously what??!!!
Yeah it doesn't seem like it would be the 80's; I'm 45 and I was a teenager then.
How fucking cool is that? Very fucking. That's how cool that photo is.Originally Posted by Ian Brill

Holy shit, Louie looks like Sloth in that photo. Probably the head angle.
I think Dave Attell kind of weirdly resembles Harris Wittels in that picture.
Sarah looked like that chick from Luscious Jackson.
Well, a little bit.

I'm sure he means like a young, thin Sloth. You know, like a smokin' hot Sloth.
OH IN THAT CASE.
(HEY YOU GUUUUUYS)
I didn't get it. What was the point of that episode? Why isn't anyone talking about how they didn't get it?
I gotta agree, this episode gave me nothing.
I love Louie and Marc but that scene was pointless.
"She walked out of the room using that pretty ass I mentioned earlier to propel herself forward. I felt like my dick had been kicked up into my mouth, making me throw up from having a dick in my mouth"
Is it about how even after he apologized 5 years ago (i.e. he went on WTF, had honest conversation), he still feels weird about the relationship and doesn't know what to do about it? And we as an audience are supposed to see an enaction of our own confusion about relationships and feel that even if Louie doesn't have any advice or insight, at least he's going through the same problem as us?
I don't think it's a good idea to conflate "real" Louie and "show" Louie in the scene with Marc. I think it's a general spoof on the 'grand gesture of catharsis' moment that movie and tv characters are always doing. A single moment isn't going to undo five (or ten) years of ingrained habit and reflexive feeling. You've got to actually commit to changing your relationship, and that's a lot harder than tv and movies make it look.
I personally just loved that Marc wasn't wearing pants, and they didn't even acknowledge it.
