And most of all the being molested by an uncle on his 32nd birtday. baldness, fatness, divorce ensued. His wife didnt understand why he just didnt say no.
It's amazing what 25+ years of work will do. You can already see his talent, but his timing and material have improved immeasurably. Today he would use half or even a third of the number of jokes in the same time, and he would make each one hit.
It's nice seeing him this young because at that phase he seemed a lot more down to my level, whereas today his material is so brilliant and his delivery so adept that I scarcely have an idea what he does to develop it.
You can tell he was really influenced by Seinfeld early on, but tried to add a "whacky" element to it. He took so many years to find his own style, but he eventually nailed it.
This PROVES that everyone starts somewhere..His delivery and stage presence has gotten SO much better not to mention his over all skill. Follow your dreams people!
It really is! I mean what the fuck! Did the camera operator secretly unlock the secrets of time travel and procure a state of the art camera rig from 1993?
Louis ck is such a legend he used to speak too fast now he can pause for 5sec, tell people Not to applause whenever he wants to, confidence comes with experience and smashing shows . Well deserved !
This is awesome. What's cool is the reason he's better now is not the material, but just mainly down to composure, timing, delivery, cadence, patience... Stuff like that.
Crazy how this was before his prime, and now that he's legendary he performs the SAME EXACT WAY just more refined! This guy had it figured out way back when!
yup, this guy is a total hack. maybe the most unfunny person alive, he will never make anything of himself and will probably die alone in a gutter somewhere.
It’s crazy how bad comedians are in the beginning. Standup is so different from being funny in conversation. Nothing about this is funny. Yet this guy became best comedian to ever do it.
Why do you feel none of this is funny? Not arguing, just curious. I feel that a lot of what he said was funny, though it wasn't nearly as polished as his newer stuff. Just want your thoughts, thanks
This should be a lesson to everyone exactly how hard it is and how long it takes to become an awesome comic like he is today. I think a lot of people think funny people just get up on stage and riff because they are that brilliant
Wait, you want to tell me that Louis C.K. was not already born as balding, fat, middle aged man? Next you will want to tell me that Morgan Freeman was young once.
He is making me smile and chuckle. I actually think it is pretty good. It is the 80s, too. Goes with the times. Amazing confidence and delivery even when young.
i love Louis. i think some ppl are forgetting, that back then he hadn't gone thru any of the things in his life that he jokes about now. we love his newer material, which is the way it should be. it'd be a bummer that he started out great and then over time just got less funny, wouldn't it?
His audience lure game is on its own level. His improve game is out of this world with perfect delivery, some of his live recorded shows will show those moments of his pure genius
+Karl-Erlend Mikalsen I always pause a shitty youtube video to see if anyone else has the same opinion in the comments. And you took the words right out of my mouth.
It's interesting, I've seen him do that sign language joke many years later when he was doing a set and there was a sign language interpreter. He's had that joke locked and loaded since at least 1988. Wow.
It's like a video I saw of Dave Chappelle when he was first starting out, you really appreciate how much time and work it took for these guys to develop their individual styles and hit their stride. The early stuff can be cringeworthy.
