"i just touch the soil." I see what you did there, you rascal.
my favorite: self-guided tour 😂
p.s. you're a force of truth. people don't like truth. fly low, my dude.
Or some people don’t like everything a creator does. Like, I did not agree w his bill burr take but thought this video is awesome.
@@sorryimsosadbill Burr , there a thousands of him outside my house but I guess ppl find one comic funny from an area but not too much ,he really is average angry red head who never got into a fight
This episode is a masterclass in the metaphor.
I mean, it's not like he's exposing the World Economic Forum, WHO, or the Israeli government. I think he'll be ok. Lol Exposing cringey podcasters is about as "low" as you can fly.
Cringe
Creepy legend
Well said.
Legendary creep?
Yeah both, just like the dichotomy of life in which all things are its basis and antithesis at the same time
@@xtrachrisb488Nah, cause then that means he was Legendary at being Creepy. But Creepy Legend means he did a few questionable things that made him a lil creepy but still a Legend in his comdey lane..😆
I shouldve guessed soneone beat me to it
I absolutely love the laundry list of terms you use for choking the chicken 🤣🤣🤣
Took the words out of my mouth! I’m bringing some of those references to work tomorrow.
He asked women for consent to do a sex act. The very thing we're all asking men to do. He DID do two major things wrong: there was a phone conversation where he was masturbating and confessed to the other person, and where he didn't have consent, which she was upset by. Bad. And he approached women he worked with, which isn't a good idea, but in no way illegal.
Moreover, he accepted what he did wrong, he made it clear that he has learned from it, and it was over 15 fucking years ago. If you can't make mistakes in this world, what can you do? Especially when you actually take accountability for it.
Those of us that listened to O&A also have some insight. He was going through a divorce and dealing with mental health stuff. At that time he was in therapy, presumably for things of this nature, and shortly after he put a stop to it. This is human. This is the human experience. Sure, plenty of us don't have this kind of transgression on our record, but if you claim to not have a single embarrassing skeleton in your closet, you either haven't lived a life or you're lying.
I love Louie.
Just think of all the times he got away with this with little girls and underage girls, its an actual mental issue to want to expose your jink to other people, there are studies about people who feel the need to expose their private parts, just think of how old hie is, back when he was young, because that’s when disorders like this tend to start to occur, he probably has so many victims from the 70 and 80 and 90’s. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had recordings of himself exposing his privates to people….he has a disorder and he clearly doesn’t get help for it💁
He did way worse when he was a teen, on OnA he confessed to breaking into a neighbors apartment and j***ing off in their panties (leaving the remnants there), but nobody that was going after him heard about that.
I don't care how old he was when he did it, but that's insane, and I can only assume his urges ramped up throughout the years. I mean, that's the stuff serial r**ists when they first start out.
Sums up 1000% how I feel. Thanks for this comment!
Perfectly laid out. He’s a good man.
I don’t think he should be cancelled or something like that, but the fact that the woman were on the other end of the power dynamic makes his actions deplorable. He seems to have been punished, we move forward.
Absolute legend. One of the best to do it.
He’s the greatest of all time. Not only does he invoke involuntary, guttural laughter, he’s brutally existential and painfully nihilistic all while being genuinely honest, caring and hyper self-aware and aware of the world surrounding him. As you can tell, I’m a bit obsessed lol.
Master of the craft for sure.
If youre obssessed with this man, you need to re-evaluate your life.
@@evildead9708 Go ahead and feel free to explain such an asinine statement lol. I’ll wait…
@@evildead9708 sounds like it's his favorite comic and maybe favorite artist. Its fairly intense Fandom but he probably doesn't need to reevaluate his life.
@jordanstromsk I shouldn't really have to. There's better things to have an obsession with, like music or art or going to the gym or some shit. I guess people will be obsessed with anything these days tho.
Greatest comedian of our generation, hands-down. No discussion to be had.
Agreed, except let's keep our hands out of it.
Best living comedian. Patrice was the best. And lord knows what would have happened if he was around during the “me too” fiasco.
Bill Burr is also great.
Imo Louis CK is the greatest comedian of all time, living or dead. Creepiness notwithstanding.
He’s most definitely up there. If you stacked all of his specials up, he might have the most consistently great body of work. Even though there are definitely others imo who reached peaks just as high or higher with certain specials time to time. Patrice, Bernie Mac, Chapelle, Katt, Pryor, Rock, Murphy, Stanhope
"seminal moment of Louie's come back" is the best unintentional dirty joke ever
Dude is a legend. What he did is a fart in the wind compared to the Depravity that goes on in Hollywood. He got dog piled. All of those degenerates pointing dirty fingers.
The worst thing that he did was apologizing.
@@sethprice241well no , it’s ok to apologise if you mean it which he clearly did
So true!
Totally.
@@sethprice241. What ??? The WORST thing ? How is apologising even a BAD thing ? The bloke owned up to his "crime" and really paid for it. That's "the decent thing to do" where I come from.
Louie also understands the most important part of his Mailing list, don't be annoying. He sends out an Email to his fans when he releases a major project so when you get something from him it's always worth reading it.
I’ve never heard so many euphemisms … “boxing the one eye champ” …unreal 😂
Best comedian of the past 20 years
Best ever imo
@redacted9723 arguably. Hes my all time 1# Dave is #2 and Norm is #3
@@IceSick88Great list
For me it’s a tie between Doug Stanhope and Louie Ck.
ive learned so many new innuendos in the first 2 minutes
I like your theory, but wasn't he doing this before he was super famous? Joe said he hadn't done it in a decade... so feeling like he shouldn't be that famous shouldn't have been as much of a factor.
I think he did that stuff out of stress. He was going through a divorce while having 2 young children, and was not yet making that much money in an insane industry.
He's a comedic legend who knows how to be freaky
no he’s a creep. but most talented men are. they can put on a mask but most talented men are creeps inside
@eastonadkins9568 nice bait
I love him, his talent is unquestionable. His observations and wisdom will keep me as his fan always. We all have quirks just some of us have bigger shadows than others
Here's the thing, NO CHARGES WERE MADE, NOBODY CALLED THE COPS,.. Luis CK is a GREAT COMEDIAN. PERIOD.
How many metaphors did you come up with for Slapping the snake in this video? It has to be a record
Your honesty is rare and refreshing. I hope you remain truthful:)
The metaphors 😂😂 oh, the glorious, creative metaphors! 🎉🎉
The low-key innuendos throughout had me cracking up. Well done!
I’m just like in absolute shock bc bro I’ve been on this site since 2010 seen the ebbs and flows and now that I’m actually making content and stuff, it’s been so hard to find GOOD and SOLID advice that’s proven. and just the fact that you, a comedy channel gave me the BEST tip for growth I’ve heard that I’ve never even seen before just kills me. Keep up the great stuff man
I stumbled across your channel about 3-4 weeks ago, I've loved your videos and your insight.
I've gotta tell you, this was one of the very best I've seen!
I couldn't agree more with your summation at about the 23 minute mark... It makes so much sense. As a long time fan of Louis and stand up in general- I believe you hit the nail on the head. Louis CK is a genuine comedian, it's in his DNA. Like other true comedians, they're built different, they think different and they are filled with a whole lot of self-doubt.
Great video!!
another very well put together video. keep em coming bud! 👏🏻
He definitely deserves his comeback, a genuine genius! "Cuffing the carrot" 😂
I bet a few people would like to give him his come back
@@Fung-Fungwoah
Your assessment that Louie did the masturbation in front of people as self sabotage, while an interesting theory, doesn't match up with his timeline. He did all that before he was a huge name. By the time he was big, all that behaviour stopped.
I’m not a supporter of cancel culture, but Rogan’s rage over social consequences is absurd. He acts as if he and his friends or anyone he identifies with should have zero social consequences for anything they say or do. Meanwhile the rest of us have to deal with consequences of our actions and words in everyday life.
It’s amazing you were at 3k and I was sure this channel will blow up and now look at you at over 40k congratulations dude
The jerk off analogies killed me haha
Mate this is your best work yet, from 5 on 1, polish the banister, scratching yoda behind the ears or burping the worm 😂😂 absolute crack up
Great video as always, man. I avoid many of these podcasts or "comedians" like Schaub, Kreischer etc. besides the occasional JRE episode when he has an interesting guest, yet I find a lot of your videos insightful regardless. It's testament to how thorough and interesting your videos are that I barely know who any of these people are, yet I still glean enough about their dramas from your content to feel both sufficiently informed and in-the-loop
I like your take! Good video 😊 Keep them coming!!!
I was finding all these innuendos corny, but you got me at "randomly started boxing the one-eyed champ", soooo, that's kinda Louis CK'ey from you so kudos to you!
Soo many priceless puns 😂😂😂
Give mans award for the most hilariously varied terms for...pulling the pinball plunger
This upload was so well done - I’m so happy for your success my friend, and it’s just beginning
Thanks bro! You’ve been here since the early days 🙏🏻
Great insight. I've often wondered how someone as intelligent and self aware as Louis had this episode.
The allegations come from a time way before he became mainstream famous. So the theory doesn't hold. He's an exhibitionist, that's why he's a stand-up comic. He even talks in one of his specials about doing the same act to a down-syndrome girl when he was a teenager, so it's a long-standing kink he's had.
@@zootsoot2006But aren't Down Syndrome women considered sexy?!..its why Victoria Secrets has them model lingerie
@@zootsoot2006wow he s disgusting
Palm Sunday, 5 on 1, a self guided tour..etc. I appreciate you using different synonyms every time. Lol
People say, who’s stupid enough to follow someone into their hotel room at right and think nothing will happen? Me. I am. Let’s talk about life’s complexities until the sun rises lmao
No one should feel sorry for Louis. Watching him talk is like watching some strange relic from the past. I’m glad everything he stands for is fading with each year.
Your replacements for suggestive actions are brilliant.
Scratching yoda behind the ears lmao
Excellent work man man. Such true talent and dedication needs to be distinguished from the rest. You did a really good job I wasn't expecting u to end the video the way u did. I really had that thought of Louie doing it on purpose. Do u think Matt Rife tried to do the same with his '' misogynistic '' opening?
Yeah definitely! I made a video on what Rife did…
"boxing the one eyed champ" hahaha
Cuff the carrot 😂😂
easily one of your best videos
I’m more impressed with how many different ways you know how to say jerk off😂😂 Love the channel bro🙌🏽
Never before have I heard so many expressions to avoid saying cock. Just amazing, well done!😄😄😄
louie was whipping it out in front of women long before he hit it big, so your theory doesn't work.
The opie and anthony show with louis ck when patrice finds out he is mexican is hilarious i still listen to it regularly
I don't think anyone said he was playing wack-a-mole without getting permission first. It was just a conversation about Power Dynamic. Being a creep is different than being a criminal.
What's crazy to me is, Diddy has been accused this of the worst kind of trafficking and abuse done to a woman (which he settled out of court), but no one seems to care.
But someone like Louie got treated way worse, for (scummy but not illegal) allegations.
Hmmm… you can’t settle criminal charges out of court though. I don’t know enough about the Diddy situation, but I did hear recently there have been further allegations
High quality content here Podcast Cringe you pointed out some deep insights. I agree that the man is a genius.
Had no idea there are so many expressions for jackin the beanstalk
The amount of allegories for going 5 to 1 that you had to make for a 28 min vid is just insane. Clearly enriched my vocabulary here
Here's the real hard cold truth about being a stand-up comedian like Louis CK and that is this if you're going to do dark humor and touch the darkness sometimes the darkness will touch you back and he shares that with his audience so if you don't want to feel that Darkness inside you that you try to deny is inside you well then don't go watch him as a comedian and stay your ass at home and watch the lifetime channel with your husband why you both paint your nails
He asked permission. Hollywood doesn't ask permission.
He is a legend.
Ur description of Louis’ comedy style is spot on brutha 👌
Props to you for how many different ways you euphemized the you-know-what 😂 Also, great insight on RUclips and the obsession with being on all the platforms in order to drive traffic here. Keep doing what you’re doing, man!
I never knew Louie had so many hobbies, he really likes to keep the juice running.
he's always been my favorite legendary creep 😊
The amount of comedic phrases you used instead of saying “jerking off” is quite impressive 😂
Bro, all the different euphemisms are hilarious! 😂😂
A hunnerd percent spot on again dude
I might have to rewatch this video, just to see if I can count how many different ways you have of saying beating his meat.. truly impressive.
Insightful as always bro 💯🫡🫡
“Playing 5 on 1” lol brilliant
Louis is a legend. It even took him a long long time to be a guest on podcasts, even before they tried to cancel him. Never mind social media, I think podcasting has ruined comedy to a point. I barely bother to watch anyone's specials anymore, except for Shane Gillis. Hi Shane.
You should watch nick mullens new one its good
@@TylerEllis-pv4sl I'll give it a go Tyler. Cheers.
Everything Louis does is on a legendary level. From his comedy to his creepiness.
congrats on one million subs soon. best channel ive found in forever
One of my favourite comedy commentators makes me laugh more then the comedians I follow 😂😂
He did not want to get caught as some sort of cry for help to return to smaller venues, no matter how big a genius somebody is, their main brain is shut down when sex is involved. I don't know what made him have that kink, probably something that happened when he first had sexual feelings.
Start the patreon already bro make that money bro!! I think you’d be surprised how many people sign up for it especially if you shill and link it in every episode. I’d understand wanting to just focus on the RUclips channel for now though.
Personally I put this man in the top 3 best comedians of the last 20 years. He is truly phenomenal at his craft. But yeah he's definitely creepy. I mean asking random women if they'd like to watch you rub one out puts you in that category.
The way you went around the p and the m word is amazing 😂. Well done sir
Having so many ways to say "masturbate" and not repeating a single one is crazy
Legendary creep
Actually what you broke down about what Louie was doing at the height of his Fame as a cry of help because he didn't really feel comfortable with how much they were treating him like a god makes perfect sense yeah he made himself the butt of the joke instead of telling the jokes because he didn't feel comfortable with who he was becoming so yeah that makes perfect sense
Best euphemisms of the video: “cooking his cucumber”, “downstairs DJing”, “paddling his pink canoe”, “burping the worm”, and “boxing the one eyed champ”
This was your best episode. Nice 😎
He's my absolute favourite. I hope there are many more years left for us to see his art
He is an absolute legend... and a creep. There it's settled!
I don't see what he did that is so creepy. I'm a woman and every job I've ever had there is some consensual sexual dynamic going on between some employees. If you're interested in a coworker but that person gets a raise or promotion is it off limits then since there will then be a "power imbalance"? As far as I've seen and read he never forced himself onto anyone but asked consent and was given that. The idea that grown women are too timid to say no to someone who is a friend is kind of insulting. If it were an aggressive stranger who barricaded the door it would be different. That doesn't seem to be the case, and from the accounts at least a couple of the women were in the room together and said they started cracking up and said yes when asked. To later say that he did something against their will is disingenuous in my opinion. I could understand maybe telling him later that it caught them off guard and they didn't appreciate it and not to do it again, but not using it to try to destroy someone because you didn't have the sense to decline a sexual request.
@@possumfriend2335 There are actually reports that he did block a hotel room doorway from two women who didn't think he was actually being serious and then he whipped it out and started giving 'er. The bottom line is in the comedy community women warned each other that he was known for doing this behaviour. He's a big time famous celebrity and leveraged his influence and power over these women in an inappropriate way. If he had sexual relationships with them it would've been a different story completely. He didn't have any real relationship with these people other than they were lesser known comedians who were star struck and wanted to hang out with him. The fact he "got permission" doesn't really matter all that much as he says himself he put them in a "predicament" where they felt obligated to agree to it because of his status. It's a complicated situation. He obv didn't rape or assault anyone physically but it's inappropriate and weird. The power imbalance prevented the women from speaking up as it would affect their careers in a negative way or get them black listed. He knew this and took advantage of it in a predatory way. He's a comedic genius and I'll appreciate him always but clearly he did some dumb things I'm sure he regrets.
All the “boxing the one eyed champ” references had me lol 😂you’re very intelligent and put a lot of thought into this. Which I appreciate 👍
After the 5th one it was kinda hack
This type of analysis, getting into the business model, is your best stuff. Keep it up
"Seminal comeback" is perfect xD😂
he is and always always will be a fucking legend in my book. He was one of the first stand up comics I got into like 10/15+ years ago...well no I take that back it was Dane cooks Vicious Circle iirc or ISolated INcident....GET THE JELLY TWAT. Shame he ended up being kind of str8 creepy and got big like prematurely in a way. But anyways, after that I discovered louis and I was holy fuck I found someone who has the same sort of disdain and dislike of interacting with the general public as I do! Who is super fucking intelligent, and rides the line of feeling superior to most everyone and also having the worst self esteem and self depreciating mindset that I do. Pig newtons?! Amazing. So many things I'd love to refer to but there's too many.
When the allegations came out I was like fuckkkkk. But I was like oh well still can do no wrong in my book. Seriously. Love him
"Can do no wrong" is so stupid. You can love him and say he's done wrong.
As a huge Louie fan, the only really disappointing thing for me was the fact that his accusers couldn’t speak about it publicly while it remained an open secret among comics. It was for that reason that I think he deserved repercussions, but blacklisting is still too severe for him. And also self-destruction is common for artistic types, esp when they reach an elevated status and one reason may be to retain some humanity.
I kinda think that the "position of authority " angle that is used when discussing this specific situation is often overplayed.
It's not like he was some big Hollywood producer. He wasn't even big when the events happened. Just another somewhat successful comedian.
Not excusing anything but I think there's more to it. Especially since metoo was jumping at the time the accusation came out, not before.
I was heartbroken when I heard the news. I knew no more of my favorite show, no more specials. I'd never been disappointed in a celebrity before, because I just don't give a fuck about famous people. But comedy is my jam and he is the king of it in my mind.
I was also disappointed in myself a bit, because some of my first thoughts when the news broke was: why didn't he just hire a hooker to exhibit himself to avoid all this? And not: oh no, how terrible.
Your list of euphemisms for beating the snake... A+
His bit on people knowing "his thing" was great. "obama knows my thing" lol
Another banger. (Pun intended) Thoroughly enjoyed this one, and the bit of insight to how you approach your content.
Welp now I feel as if I owe you an apology for tweeting out a couple links to your videos on here....... luckily nobody cares what I tweet😂😂
Na it’s all good! Almost all my views come from RUclips… thanks for sharing though 🙏🏻
@@PodcastCringe No problem love the videos you always have a down to earth take on things... Never change man never change.....lol
the amount of jerk off puns are impressive to say the least
The only time I laugh at the Rogan clowns are in these videos. Great videos mate.
Loui is still the funniest comedian today
Your channels is severely underrated, in a way i kind of enjoyed. Great content as usual
He is one of the best of the generation; he will always be a legend.
This was a fantastic video!
I’m gonna watch this video one more time just to count how many genius euphemisms you use. Great content
I'm not a fan of him but he's still funnier than most "comedians" out there today.
Not creepy he asked permission the women consented. Also he’s a legend
Legit
I don’t know man… seems pretty creepy to want to jerk off in front of people and have them watch. What does he do when he’s alone if he’s doing that in front of his friends and employees? Sounds like and origin story for a serial killer.
Youre missing the whole subtext about the power dynamic, even Louis correctly points that out. Also what kind of person jerks off in front of a bunch of coworkers? The fact you don't see that as fucking deranged is worrying
I mean whats wild is having a special called "daddy" anything knowing you guilty
Great episode
