I watched this probably 10 times yesterday. And died laughing each time. So good.

I do want to warn everybody NOT to look up Louis CK's standup online. He's one of the filthier comics out there.

But this bit is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

That's really good stuff.

I'd heard of him before but never seen any of his stuff. Why does he have to do filthy comedy? This bit was 95% clean and absolutely hilarious. If you can be genuinely funny without alienating someone, why not just do that?

But I guess he doesn't owe me anything - I didn't even know he existed five minutes ago ;)

Quite brilliant. Reminds me of my favorite passage from Chesterton's Orthodoxy:

"Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we."

So who is that Guy? OK, Louis CK. OK, got it.

But where did he come from? And what does CK stand for?

I agree with everyone else though. Awesome stuff.

Makes me feel guilty for complaining when I used to have dial-up.

YES!!! Oh this is brilliant. I, too, have never heard of this guy, but he is so right. You know the one I can't get over? Googlemaps.

Seriously. If I want to get directions to a friend's house, I type in their postcode, and the INTERNET, which doesn't know my friend, shows me a PICTURE of all the streets surrounding their house, TAKEN FROM FREAKING SPACE. SPACE!! Where the moon lives, and the stars!! Taking pictures of my friend's house for me!

And if I had a car, I could buy a box and stick it on my windscreen, and a woman from, again, SPACE, would tell me where I was and how to get there. I hope never to get over living in the future.

"How quickly the world owe him something he existed only 10 seconds ago!" Brilliant. I'll have to pass this around to some of the "older" (that means 35+) crowd at work, as we're dealing with the whining of the self-entitled millennial generation who think they are suffering an indignity that should be lamented in the annuls of 21st century human rights violations because the company won't allow MySpace access during work.

I believe it was Isaac Asimov who said something to the effect of technology will have reached it's acme when it is indistinguishable from magic.

Hi,
I discovered Louis while he was in Britain a few months ago, and while I don't mind blue material I must say he's funniest when he's not doing being so sick -- the best bits are about his kids, absolutely amazing.
You may like to check the whole interview from which this exerpt was taken -- it has some great child material at the end!
