@@gregsamson5538 What do you mean it "sucks?" I thought it was really good. Even made me a bit emotional to see he managed to pull off a special that good after all the bullshit he went through. You have pretty high standards I guess
@@gregsamson5538 I thought the special was much better than the leaked set. To me it didn't seem "watered down" at all, and definitely not a low point. Heroic comeback from an impossible situation, more like. Sure, the club set was all kinds of controversial, I guess... but he was clearly also testing out material that was far from finished and didn't work that well yet. But yeah, I admit I'm more interested in good comedy than controversy (especially for its own sake) these days... To each their own
Tom segura put it beautifully when he said "you have a right to get offended about whatever offends you and you have a right to complain however you can't expect anyone to do anything about it"
Exactly, and if people decide not to associate with you socially or economically because of a stigma you have created then that's called dealing with the consequences of your actions. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence.
Richard Pryor was brilliant, but in my opinion because of his storytelling, quick wit, intelligence, willingness to say anything, and brilliance, Louis CK is the best comedian in the business and perhaps ever.
I find it interesting when I see the comments on here. They do talk about how some of the woke culture is toxic, but the also talked about the other side of things and how that is toxic as well.
@@nursejane6662 omg. Those crazy millennials are offended when a man sexually assaults a women and uses his position to get away with it. What losers, those millennials.
So sick of these comments. There is tons of amazing comedians in their prime right now who could care less about being cancelled. A lot of them like cancel culture because it requires more effort from the comedian and gives them a challenge, but they arent gonna change their act. You just have to accept that the younger generation has a different mindset then comedians before them. Comedy has always been EXTREMELY progressive, but you have people like you who dont wanna hear good jokes. You just wanna hear someone else say offensive things you are too scared to say yourself. Theres always that dude in the crowd who cheers as soon as they hear a super offensive line, only to be shut down by the comedian for not listening to the joke. Dan Soder, Andrew schultz, Sam Morril, Tim Dillon, Joe List, Mark Normand, Shane Gillis, etc. Are all great comics who havent even hit their prime and all of them are just as "OfFeNsIvE" as the classics. Im assuming your favorite comedy has to do with white comics making stereotypical jokes about other races🤣 probably a Jeff Dunham fan lmao
@@Ghostgotjokes I ain’t scared to say shit! Not everybody has to think and act like you. Everything you said is wrong and you know absolutely nothing about me I don’t know any of those comedians that you just fucking mentioned. I said what I said and I meant it. Bye h@3
If I was rich, I would put on a television special with Louis CK on it and broadcast it all over the internet and tv at the same time and then soak up all the angry comments from those that are offended and smile because I would feel comforted knowing I did that.
Today in the car, I was thinking about who are my favorite comedians. Chapelle and Louis came to my mind. I could remember the first name of Chapelle. For some time I,was thing he was called Bruce. Bruce Chapelle.
Deciding whether or not I want to watch this. So tired of people talking about “cancel culture.” No longer paying to consume entertainment from people you stop liking is not new.
Theres a song called "where dey at doe." It's pretty catchy. Watch that one of the anchor man annoying his cohost. I appreciate your concern though Bobo.
@@JoHnAnDjAnEdOe81 That was for Bobo, not you Mike. You're good. CK's website says a bunch of shows were postponed so maybe he's workin on some new material. Fingers crossed!!!
Awesome video clip... Louis is the man... he really understands me... 🤣🤣🤣... Louise never listen to people who say shit about you... unless its the truth 😂😂.. you are one of the funniest people on earth... you are in my top 2-3.. love you man.. I keep going back and forth.. N1 comedian of the 21. Century- Ricky Gervais or Luise C.K... they should do like some sort of battle like in rap.. i would love to see that :)
Louis CK's last line of, "lets all get back together and-uh kill the jews," was such a perfect demonstration of how saying something for comedic effect is completely separate from someone's beliefs, and how things that are said to be funny should be taken within that context. There is still a line, if something crosses over to just being insulting and no longer funny, but that line exists because that joke is now no longer a joke, it itself has crossed over into an opinion or simple insensitivity, and it can no longer benefit from the context of it being a joke. I think people just need to be kind to one another, and lighten up a bit and just listen to things as they are intended, rather than putting your own biases onto something to pull controversy or to be insulted by something that clearly was not said with that intention. That's my two cents on the matter at least.
These two guys are students of culture. Of dialogue. Looking at things through the lens of a fallible and unfiltered human that is bumbling their way through life just like everyone else. The difference, and certainly, why they are getting their share of hate is that they are not afraid to share their opinions on things that they think are interesting and funny. They are unapologetic in showing that they are human beings. They apologize when they make mistakes (sometimes even on-stage!) sure, but they don't apologize for not having all of the answers. For not knowing all of the things. I think I admire these guys most because they inspire dialogue about those things. What is comedy? Should it change? Why? These guys are, in some ways, the voices for people that feel the same way but don't exactly know how to express it. I appreciate them and they are just as funny when talking about the meta behind their comedy (everything's funny until it happens to you) as they are saying what some people are calling for them to get cancelled for (Louis CK saying the N word on stage). I will always love and support these guys for that.
Lenny Bruce was a martyr for freedom of speech. We owe it to comedians that we can make light of darkness as a way to deal with the world for a brief moment.
‘Everything is funny until it happens to you’ and the interviewer: ‘What happens to someone else may not be funny’, or sth like that. For Christ sake! He’s on stage! He’s a comedian! I think Dave had been warned to behave or I don’t understand how he goes for that crack thing. David should’ve asked him if he can still pull his head out of his ass or is it too late. It looks like it is.
the creator of the video should cite where these clips are from in case we want to watch the real thing... it sounds like the Louis C.K. stuff was with Jon Stewart
The opioid epidemic is viewed differently because doctors had been giving opioids to patients for years and years and years and people were getting addicted. This is not the same as the crack epidemic, as no doctors were ever giving out crack to patients which caused their addiction. Not to mention there are black, white, brown, etc people who are addicted to opioids. This is not a racial issue whatsoever.
Funny how people decide who gets cancelled and who gets a pass..Many of the people calling for Louis' head just so happen to be Prince fans.Prince started dating a 15 year old fan named Mayte Garcia.He took legal custody of her when she was 17.She worked for him as a dancer,and when she got pregnant with his baby,he docked her pay for gaining weight.On top of being a hopeless opioid addict,who an overdose took his life.But knowing all this, let's cancel Louis.Makes sense I guess?🤔
Historically, due to the whole medical racism extravaganza that no one would even care about if not for Covid, "our community" is prescribed pain medications much, much, much less than other communities, if at all. This goes back to Pfizer mascot himself, Marion Simms, the crowned Father of Gynecology & his experimentation on slave women without out pain meds, & on to prison experimentation, etc... somewhere deep inside of people's psyche, lives the belief that "black" people don't feel pain the same way "regular" people do. I guess the addiction thing has no such limits. That said, we don't have to really wonder how the promithesine & codeine syrup phenomenon is most prominent in the hands & songs of every hip-hop influencer in America. Furthermore, who knew fentanyl grew on trees on every block, in every hood, USA? I digress, my point is, how crack became a thing is declassified now, whether or not people choose to read the evidence, so in essence, our government is complicit in both, but they were treated with vastly different actions & reactions. It's not funny when I say it, but I do hope that helps shed some light on Dave's take.
I mean, it never occurred to me to be offended at a joke, even if it nails me dead on. I have legs, I can leave...but also it shows weakness to be offended.
@@TheWalterHWhite I think he’s a bit preachy. Louis CK and Bill Burr are two of my favourites and kind of have a similar style but they make astute points without it coming across preachy. Maybe Dave comes across like he cares more which is less funny. Bill and Louis couldn’t care less
Funny how every comedian who gets old and no longer appeals to most young people blame their inability to get laughs on the politics of the audience. Young people didn't laugh at 80 year old Bob Hope when I was growing up, but he never blamed it on cancel culture.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature; a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us; For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states; For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world; For imposing taxes on us without our consent; For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury; For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses; For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies; For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments; For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress, in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends. We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that, as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
It's great to watch them eat their own. I love hearing them complain about the practices and policies from the very lunatics they support. This is what they campaigned for by campaigning foe their liberal candidates.
Trevor Noah fucking sucks, I hardly watches that show much but back with John being the host that show was on sky high and I hear about it everywhere I go including my schools back then. But now, even when Trump was president, and we all know how much the media was eating every kinds of ass and shits he served them, and not one single person that I know mentioned the daily show anymore. Trevor can never matched the level thatJohn was putting out
