SnoopyStyle Louis C.K. does one of his specials for HBO. He's 39 living in NYC with his family. It's got his highly inappropriate writing style. It's masturbating and his family, and sometimes it's both masturbating and his family.The jokes are a tub of duck vaginas, hating people, bumper sticker "Tell your girlfriend I said thanks", bag of dicks, masturbating his 11 year old best friend and his daughter is a real dick.This is really sharp writing. He is relentless and he's a solid performer. He is so lovable that his vulgarity is actually endearing. I just love his amiable nature.
Steve Pulaski Louis C.K. is probably the funniest comedian working today in my eyes. He harps on the idiocies of life in a refreshingly pessimistic, cynical way, and his self-deprecating comedy hits close-to-home for me. C.K.'s standup special Chewed Up is one of the funniest stand up specials of recent years, and his followup specials have consistently performed above average in quality. However, Louis C.K.: Shameless may be his weakest installment, although still able to provide capable entertainment for fifty-five minutes. C.K. seems to get too wrapped up in mean-spirited humor in this one, talking about how he'd like to sometimes punch his daughter in the face because of the obscure, often disgusting things she does since she's very young. This kind of humor can become grating and rather tasteless after a while. There is still plenty of fun to be had when C.K. zealously goes off on such topics as marriage, sex, and growing old, which would be depressingly typical topics for comedians if C.K. wasn't so committed and talented in terms of making them relatable. He has a way of making his cold, cynicism click with the audience, which is difficult to do. He's the kind of comedian that can turn a room full of optimists into a room where two-thirds of the population are realists.Starring: Louis C.K.. Directed by: Steven J. Santos.
DNRchist I had never heard of Louis C.K. before. After reading some reviews and seeing the rating here, I became curious about this guy.I thoroughly enjoy some good old stand up comedy, but even though I had to laugh at some of the jokes in this show, I just wasn't that impressed. I also thought he used the word "f*ck" when there was no need. I do enjoy George Carlin, Jim Jeffries and Ricky Gervais, and I realise they curse a lot too. The difference is that, it seemed to me, Louis sometimes used curse words just for the sake of it.His material was alright, but definitely not amazing. I think there are some far better comedians out there.
MairegChernet I've watched many stand-up specials and Louis C.K. has to be one of the best ones. Prior to this special, I never really got exposed to Louis' works. And folks this man knows comedy. His jokes were sassy and pretty much didn't care for what people might feel about them. And that's what makes Louis' jokes funny. His special is called "shameless" for a reason. the guy had no shame on talking about stuff that a normal person might be shameful to talk about. I couldn't stop laughing at the jokes and I mean that literally, in fact i missed some of the jokes 'cause i was still laughing at the one that came before it. Outrageous and hilarious special. hope to see a second special soon. kudos for Louis for his effort.
