Its not fair…the metaphor is that were really just 8 at heart..what did that woman do? Was he mature? Or was she an 8 yrs old girl that went and told on him to rip him off of imaginary money? Who is actually not imaginary this time..it was 35 mil in a day!
Hmm. I think there's a difference between asking consent to show competent, sober adults your genitals, and showing a mentally handicapped child. Or do you think women are not responsible for their actions or competent to make decisions?
@MANIK he is, which is why he was asked for consent. If he ever once used force, threats, drugs, intimidation, or even just 'surprise' (like a flasher) to take advantage of women, then I would not be defending him. Even Sarah Silverman who explained this and that he was harmless. I think people find him visually gross or find the whole idea disgusting and want him burned at the stake for that reason, but every human being, even ones you don't like have a sex drive. It's a basic human need. The whole scenario would require a psychiatrists explanation to really know, but either it's a kink for him to have someone watching, or maybe he just had low enough self esteem that he feels like no one would want him, so he should just ask another consenting adult to just see it. It's probably some combination. Either way, nothing hurtful or illegal happened. I know people hate that but that's the facts, and if it turns out I'm wrong then I'll turn on him just like everyone else. Just saying, if it was an older female actress and young male stars then everyone would call her a cougar, and I wouldn't see the harm as long as she asked for consent.
Most people are so naive about Huck Finn it's sad. Jim is the most noble character in the book very intentionally. Twain was writing an anti-racist book in an extremely racist time, and chose to do it in a way that the point would sneak under the radar of his audience.
Yeah definitely. Somewhere I heard Louis C.K. very eloquently explain why Huck Finn was important as an anti-racist book. Twain himself was a member of the Anti-Imperialist League, very forward thinking and smart to have written a book that could trick racist readers into feeling sympathy for Jim.
Jim is indeed the most noble character. Huck values him as a friend, despite the fact that conventional white society tells Huck that it is wrong to regard Jim a friend (i.e., an equal), that it is wrong to help Jim escape. Nobody is telling Huck that it is white society that is grievously in the wrong, so Huck, a social outcast, comes to the conclusion that he himself is fundamentally flawed. Huck must choose between "virtue", as defined by white society, or Jim...and he chooses Jim. Huck is not a racist. The climax of the book occurs when Huck, recognizing that he has offended Jim, humbles himself by asking Jim's forgiveness. At that point, Huck is acknowledging that Jim is his moral superior. Bravo, Huck.
@@vitamin3076 You are ignoring three important elements: One, Huck helped Jim escape. Two, when Jim talked about his distress that his wife and children had been sold away from him, Huck felt empathy for Jim. Three, Huck, ashamed of himself for offending Jim, offered a sincere, humble apology. All three elements defied conventional racist white culture of the timed place. Huck was a decent human being. Tom, however, was a manipulative narcissist, driven by self-interest.
Mark Twain was one of Nicola Tesla's only close friends. Apparently Tesla was testing out a device he thought could create earthquakes by setting up constructive harmonics through vibrating the rock, and Mark Twain asked to try it out and it didn't create an earthquake but did make Twain explosively shit himself, which the author found hilarious.
Mark Twain lived in a house in the city next to where I grew up. He had an elevator in it - the 1st one in a residence ever. He liked new gadgets, so his friendship w Tesla makes sense.
Reading Huck Finn as a kid was the first time I understood fairness. While they're camped one evening they catch a rabbit (or something - I can't remember exactly) and cook it. Huck says to Jim that he (Huck) should have the biggest share as he's the hungriest and Jim says to Huck that he (Jim) should have the biggest share as he's bigger than Huck. So they settle on half each.
Who else is his number one fan? Lol My depression began in 2011..that same year I found Louie on RUclips. He helped me get rid of it by 2016! 😃 I’ve seen many others say he’s helped them with their depression. They listen to him and feel better.
I'm very glad you've been able to fight through your depression! Though coming from experience, it's not something that just goes away. It sticks with you in one way or another. Getting rid of it shouldn't be the only focus, but understanding it and knowing how to work with it will get you by.
His new special Sincerely helped me deal with my parents dying. It's a great special, he nails it, he's still got it, and I hope he does more of them. I'll be the first to buy em online.
@donlightfoot9608 It’s not about being funny, though that certainly helps. It’s about context. That word is famously throughout those books. He can’t replicate this discomfort of reading the books without saying the word. I mean, maybe he could, but if you’re reading it, you’re at least saying it in your own head.
This is absolutely one of Louie’s best bits, and I think it is important not to just think about the story he tells at the end and equate it with the troubles he had a couple of years ago. Louie is one of the very few entertainers who will grapple with ideas like the violence and racism of American history, instead of ignoring it to tell another boob joke. He should be applauded for that.
agreed. but he was doing some awkward shit at this time too. & it's difficult not remembering that while he was joking he was creating some really awkward situations with colleagues and friends. He's still a profound fucker tho. & funny as hell.
I actually liked Huck better than Tom. Tom was an annoying scam artist. Huck was poor kid who had heart. He said the N word a lot but everybody then did and he and Jim got along regardless of race. Unless I'm remembering wrong. It has been a while.
I was just about to write a comment saying that Jim was a very good friend to both of the boys. It was just a very different time in history. It isn't always necessarily the words we use but the way in which we use them
Something seemed off about that in my memory, so I had to look it up, and they _both_ say the word at that point. For that matter, it's actually Tom who says it first, though Huck does still say something rather worse using the word.
There are different types of comedians. Louis CK is one of the great story-teller type comedians, like Bill Cosby. There's a few of them out there. I remember Bill Cosby would fill a whole side of a record album with one long comedic story. I saw Bill Cosby live many decades ago. My face and jaw were literally sore for almost 3 days from laughing so hard. These types are masters of making all the filler - between the main jokes - hilarious, just with their timing and expressions. Louis CK is a master of timing, expressions, inflections in both his voice and face and his mannerisms. Really sad that he pulled his weeny out in front of women a bit more than just when he was 8. He definitely has issues. But he's definitely also incredibly hilarious.
When the news broke, people were shocked. Outraged. Scandalized. Some people even tried to claim Louis was never interesting or funny. You can say what you want about the man, but he was and potentially still is the sharpest, most insightful wit in comedy.
What are talking about? He's still a headlining comedian selling out shows nationwide. Find a different bad example of "cancel culture" please cause Louis CK ain't one.
@@dookieshoe2905 no. Neve being canceled means they never were canceled. He lost a TV show because he admitted to jerking himself off in front of other comedians. He didn't get arrested. There were some consequences for his actions though. He made millions of dollars the year it happened, the year after, and toured comedy clubs the whole time. Louis CK himself would tell you he wasn't canceled, and then say "why didn't you see me in Buffalo in 2018? I could of used a fluffier that night." Some fan you are.
@Brian Reed canceled has different meanings and consequences. His show was canceled. All his specials were pulled from streaming services. He says he lost tens of millions of dollars. He can, of course, do things on his own. He can book his shows and release specials. But FX and Netflix (or HBO, etc) won't give him money anymore. Hollywood won't cast him in a movie. If this is permanent, it is still something to be determined. Call it canceled, blacklisted or banned... it's a real thing.
"well well well" is right... its funny how u so call fans praise him for jokes like this but when the news comes out that he did something not even remotely close, everybody that was laughn starts bashing him
You act as if he doesn't actually talk about his life. Anyway women either consented to his actions or they didn't so totally different. And nothing he did was terrible awful, just creepy and weird. But let's put your private life out there and see what type of shit you get up to? We all do creepy shit for time to time.
Louis CK is freaking awesome, but he's a bit off on the books and characters, perhaps intentionally. Huck's a decent kid who comes to grips with his own humanity and that of others (most notably, Jim). He grows up while challenging his own ideas and the world throughout the book. Tom's a crazy kid who's fine with risking everyone's lives (including his own, to be fair) in order to have a wacky adventure. He hasn't changed from who he was in the eponymous book, perhaps because he didn't have to.
Right, Huck Finn is a much deeper book, with serious commentary on exactly the things Louis CK is talking about, while Tom Sawyer is pretty much just a lightweight kid story.
Louie C.K. was 8 years-old starting in fall of 1975. He lived in Framingham, MA at the time, the Kentucky Fried Chicken in question would have to be the one on MA RT-30, 149 Cochituate Rd, Framingham…
I wonder how many of us have those "When I was 8" stories? Just laughing along with the jokes and the memory came flooding back. Have to admit selfishly I'm glad mine doesn't nearly as bad.
@@crunchygods changed since when? The last time he asked a woman to watch him was somewhere between 2006 and 2008. He’s also talked about how he regrets his actions. It’s now 2022, not sure what you’re looking for.
Man.. how can this dude be ao amazing? You see, he actually kills with impressions! But almost never does that. I think it's because he's so damn clever that stuff like doing voices seem ordinary and boring to him actually. But the bits where he uses them... Come on
@Jordan Rogers Agreement under pressure, is not agreement. It's quid pro quo and it's kind of embarrassing! It's simply people agreeing to anything if it means the difference between getting and losing a job. Haven't you ever agreed to an employment condition which came back to cause you issues later? Even something as small as agree to work nights and weekends would amount to the same thing. The thing is, even by his own admission, Louis CK held these women hostage with potential jobs and career advancement. Shit, Stormy Daniels admitted fucking a wrinkled and saggy Trump because she thought it would help get her on the Apprentice! Quid pro quo is not agreeing.
Crucify me if you must, but if you agree to someone's kink under no real pressure and you do it, you don't get to publicly humiliate them globally 10+ yrs later, destroy their career just because you regret doing it with them and shout "Me two" from the rooftops.
I remember when the story first broke and I’d read articles and be like ok that’s weird and not cool but am I missing something? He didn’t even just whip it out, he asked and they consented. I get how the women could be like wtf that’s not cool man but aligning themselves with women who have been raped abused and blackballed is reaching, for sure.
deano dog jack london was an overweight alcoholic who's never ever in his miserable life went out in the wild. Thoreau literally survived on his own With minimal to no contact for years at a time communing with nature and was against people putting themselves in debt till they were put in the ground and left their debt to their poor children. Unlike materialistic, sadsack london. How can you even compare the two?
Also! London was a good bullshitter. Thoreau was a man far ahead of his time and we'd all be better off today had we listened to his genius at the time.
WOW, Disneyland at Anaheim California in the 1980's had Tom Sawyer island I was 10 and it was my favorites thing. Basically parents left 10ylds alone a couple hours at Disney Land. That island was ruthless.
I am doubly impressed by guys like Louis and Jon Stewart who can teach us profound things while being extremely funny! As for the fact that he STILL kept showin' his peniz to girls that didn't want to see it, obviously that was wrong and the massive hit that brought to his career and reputation was well-deserved. But I'll still watch his stuff. I'd be happy to pay to see him. He makes a relevant point in this very sketch - People should be judged and valued based on more than just the biggest mistake that they've ever made. ( side joke: ".. but screw one sheep and your Shamus the sheep-f****r for the rest of your life" )
I admit, I've found neither Louis or Jon Stewart funny at all. They'll get a smile or chuckle out of me once in a while, but usually it comes across as unfunny commentary to me. But I acknowledge that they are both brilliant comedically, are original, and like most comedians, speak about greater truths.
The main thing everyone gets wrong is that everything he did was consensual. People can claim they felt “pressured” to do something, but if you aren’t forced then there is no wrong doing. It’s like if someone “pressured” you to steal, you’d still get in trouble for stealing. You still chose to do that without being forced. If they were forced there could be charges and obviously there were no charges to press and he only suffered the “woke cancel” , but made another great special and everyone still loves him , so obviously no one bought into that whole story.
Guys the women he jerked it in front of he asked them if he could do it. They said yes. Asking and getting a yes isn't the same as just flashing people...what was wrong about it was he was using his power in the business which swayed them to say yes.
Now I know the origin story of his problem. Started at 8 years old and compelled to feel guilt and keep doing it in adulthood. I hope things get better for him and his family.
I've been pissed, or something, with Louis since the whole thing came out, I think partly because he should have got in front of it in 2012 when Gawker published that blind piece. He definitely would have taken a little hit, but not as big as now, obviously, with the climate so rapacious. He is still one of the funniest men who ever drew breath, though.
He’s a mediocre standup - at best. It’s hacky AF to play the inept father on stage and that’s his whole fucking act. Inept father who shits himself and is unlucky with the ladies. Wow! So amazing.
The sad thing is that the Louis Ck situation serves as a clear example to all men who have made mistakes in their past that owning up to those mistakes and apologizing is not worth the lifetime of stigma and scrutiny when you can just deny and let it blow over. We should be encouraged people to come forward and admit their wrongdoings with a forgiving attitude if we expect any change. But I guess that’s not our style. We like people to get involuntarily busted...

Wow. Hilarious comic genius, but his thing for showing his thing started young.
I can't believe how goddamn f****** funny that is
rumor has it louie's values haven't changed much...
Patrick yeps
Patrick = fucking Nostradamus
tahts exactly what bothered me about that "scandal", he didnt ever pretend to be something he wasn't
@@je-pq3de he talked about masturbating all the time. that was some of what I laughed hardest at. I'd let him.
The delivery is amazing here. He describes Huckleberry showing up in a book like an annoying colleague that you have been trying to avoid 😂😂
Wow. He showed it again, and again, and again. Prescient.
10 years ago and he was just blowing up in a major way. Than a few years later it all went to shit. What a kick in the nuts
The king of comedy.
Louie C.K. was 8 years-old starting in fall of 1975. He lived in Framingham, MA at the time, the Kentucky Fried Chicken in question would have to be the one on MA RT-30, 149 Cochituate Rd, Framingham…
I really can't get over how funny 😂😂😂
I will love to see mark twain louis ck Richard Pryor and Dave chappelle in same room talking comedy
I like how the audience keeps changing back and forth
2022 and still loving and supporting LCK.
what a legend. he made a bit where he dropped the n word with the hard R multiple times and not get booed by using mark twain as a shield.
And this aired on television, FX channel. I miss his show Louis, it was getting real dark near the end
2011 was a very different time.
😂
This has been out for over 9 years and I never knew!!! And he's still alive? Me too is fucking powerful man.
He just dropped a special not to long ago n it’s epic
That last joke aged quickly.
Not one bit.
"I'm channeling Bill Cosby right now."
Oh no, Louis.
that's a true story, btw. he's told it many times on Opie & Anthony and elsewhere
...his "Cosby" was soo freakin' good! 🤣
when i was 8, and then again when i was 50.
Louie started early with that showing it to girls
goodness, it's incredible how that incident made me unconsciously neglect this greatness.
Man this guy really TUGS at my heart strings
He does an excellent Bill Cosby impression.
In more ways than one, unfortunately.
I’m gonna miss Louis C.K
I used to write on the wall of my room when I was 8 but stopped doing that when I realized it was wrong
3:20 ooh so much foreshadowing
I wonder how many of us have those "When I was 8" stories?
Just laughing along with the jokes and the memory came flooding back. Have to admit selfishly I'm glad mine doesn't nearly as bad.
Wanna share your story with the class ?🥸
@@golhandincmen who wants to read that boring ass story
@@flatterswhite I want to.
@@golhandincmen if it was really worth sharing then surley he'd just make that his comment
@@flatterswhite maybe he was waiting for an eager ear ? And don't call me Shirley.
I was not expecting that turn of events toward the end.
I see everyone saying “wow this didn’t age well”. The last time he did anything to anyone was over 10 years ago. It’s in the past. Let it go
@Let it go - Said the 8 year old to the down syndrome girl.
@@polreamonn He said he showed it to her; he didn't say he let her touch it.
But if you're just coming across it 3 years ago...or today, it's more than a little self-revealing.
I'll let it go as soon as I hear that he's changed.
@@crunchygods changed since when? The last time he asked a woman to watch him was somewhere between 2006 and 2008. He’s also talked about how he regrets his actions. It’s now 2022, not sure what you’re looking for.
How apropos Louis, how comedically apropos.
Incredible impressionist. And he gets away with anything because … context.
Because…skill
@@laxjs the skill of putting things in a carefully worded context
Well there’s a moment of foreshadowing
Lmao was saying the same thing
3:30 …not just once, Louis, not just once…
“Still the kid that did that “
dont care, still the best. come back!
He is back.
"I am still the dude who did that" - Child is father of the man.
It blows my mind to contemplate that I have been only one person through time. It wasn't someone else, it's been you all along.
Man.. how can this dude be ao amazing? You see, he actually kills with impressions! But almost never does that. I think it's because he's so damn clever that stuff like doing voices seem ordinary and boring to him actually. But the bits where he uses them... Come on
One of the greatest comedians
"If I did it yesterday....." Yeah Louie, chances are you did.
yup
@Jordan Rogers Agreement under pressure, is not agreement. It's quid pro quo and it's kind of embarrassing! It's simply people agreeing to anything if it means the difference between getting and losing a job. Haven't you ever agreed to an employment condition which came back to cause you issues later? Even something as small as agree to work nights and weekends would amount to the same thing. The thing is, even by his own admission, Louis CK held these women hostage with potential jobs and career advancement. Shit, Stormy Daniels admitted fucking a wrinkled and saggy Trump because she thought it would help get her on the Apprentice! Quid pro quo is not agreeing.
I love how unapologeticly honest Louis CK is.
This video has convinced me to start reading my kids Huck Finn.
pure genius. thx,Louie.
Crucify me if you must, but if you agree to someone's kink under no real pressure and you do it, you don't get to publicly humiliate them globally 10+ yrs later, destroy their career just because you regret doing it with them and shout "Me two" from the rooftops.
I remember when the story first broke and I’d read articles and be like ok that’s weird and not cool but am I missing something? He didn’t even just whip it out, he asked and they consented. I get how the women could be like wtf that’s not cool man but aligning themselves with women who have been raped abused and blackballed is reaching, for sure.
If I heard this bit back in 2002 I would have aced my Huckleberry Finn book report
Why did I read "Fuck Him"...
Guy just to the left of Louis keeps growing and shaving his buzz cut. Pretty impressive super power.
jesus christ , goes to show you how deeply entrenched this shit was , jack london and thoreau were the same !
deano dog ... Can you post some verification of this?
deano dog jack london was an overweight alcoholic who's never ever in his miserable life went out in the wild.
Thoreau literally survived on his own With minimal to no contact for years at a time communing with nature and was against people putting themselves in debt till they were put in the ground and left their debt to their poor children. Unlike materialistic, sadsack london.
How can you even compare the two?
Also! London was a good bullshitter. Thoreau was a man far ahead of his time and we'd all be better off today had we listened to his genius at the time.
I guess what deano dog meant was that Thoreau and London were both racist.
WOW, Disneyland at Anaheim California in the 1980's had Tom Sawyer island I was 10 and it was my favorites thing. Basically parents left 10ylds alone a couple hours at Disney Land. That island was ruthless.
Disney florida still has it.
I am doubly impressed by guys like Louis and Jon Stewart who can teach us profound things while being extremely funny! As for the fact that he STILL kept showin' his peniz to girls that didn't want to see it, obviously that was wrong and the massive hit that brought to his career and reputation was well-deserved. But I'll still watch his stuff. I'd be happy to pay to see him. He makes a relevant point in this very sketch - People should be judged and valued based on more than just the biggest mistake that they've ever made.
( side joke: ".. but screw one sheep and your Shamus the sheep-f****r for the rest of your life" )
I admit, I've found neither Louis or Jon Stewart funny at all. They'll get a smile or chuckle out of me once in a while, but usually it comes across as unfunny commentary to me. But I acknowledge that they are both brilliant comedically, are original, and like most comedians, speak about greater truths.
The main thing everyone gets wrong is that everything he did was consensual. People can claim they felt “pressured” to do something, but if you aren’t forced then there is no wrong doing. It’s like if someone “pressured” you to steal, you’d still get in trouble for stealing. You still chose to do that without being forced. If they were forced there could be charges and obviously there were no charges to press and he only suffered the “woke cancel” , but made another great special and everyone still loves him , so obviously no one bought into that whole story.
Guys the women he jerked it in front of he asked them if he could do it. They said yes. Asking and getting a yes isn't the same as just flashing people...what was wrong about it was he was using his power in the business which swayed them to say yes.
Huck Finn was a free spirit. Not sitting in class learning to be an employee.
I love the fact that he tells on himself long before he would be…..exposed 😂
I thought norm told you "Just make huck a black kid"
Louis CK doing a Bill Cosby impression. Sheeeesh
Wow, so meta!
CK is just brilliant
Now I know the origin story of his problem. Started at 8 years old and compelled to feel guilt and keep doing it in adulthood. I hope things get better for him and his family.
Except it wasn't consensual when he was 8
@@lukess.s The power dynamic certainly existed with both.
LMAO - the fucking best!!!! Louis CK #1 comedian!
I've been pissed, or something, with Louis since the whole thing came out, I think partly because he should have got in front of it in 2012 when Gawker published that blind piece. He definitely would have taken a little hit, but not as big as now, obviously, with the climate so rapacious.
He is still one of the funniest men who ever drew breath, though.
Because his allegations affect you so much? Every one fucks up. Some worse than others but they can always redeem themselves with time
Nx Doyle ... You might want to use a different word to describe the present climate.
He’s a mediocre standup - at best. It’s hacky AF to play the inept father on stage and that’s his whole fucking act. Inept father who shits himself and is unlucky with the ladies.
Wow! So amazing.
He's back
The sad thing is that the Louis Ck situation serves as a clear example to all men who have made mistakes in their past that owning up to those mistakes and apologizing is not worth the lifetime of stigma and scrutiny when you can just deny and let it blow over. We should be encouraged people to come forward and admit their wrongdoings with a forgiving attitude if we expect any change. But I guess that’s not our style. We like people to get involuntarily busted...
"If I did that yesterday".. ironic.
