The purpose of trying out material is to make sure it works in front of a *dynamic* range of audiences, not just one's sniveling little fanboys.

They brought up Larry Flint... funny they did that. There was a movie about freedom of speech and expression in the 90s that was meant paint Flint as a victim of public/government organized shaming and disenfranchisement. He was peddling sex and nudity. He was anti regulation in that space and he was a target of mobilized groups you might consider conservative. The left put that message out. Now that they have the power they’re writing the moral codes and they’re more than happy to reverse prior positions on issues at the drop of a hat to kick someone out of the circle of trust if they’re “problematic”. This is East Germany social regulatory dogma. Don’t agree? Mkay no access to the public space for you. I’m starting to think liberal just means the group that’s not currently in charge of the social regulations.

[@iamthatguy1169]

@@michaelharold1334 Brilliant observations, I'm a liberal in the classic 1970's 80's definition, but today that makes me a far right conservative. It's funny how all my liberal friends don't see how much they've changed to go along with the current popular narratives. The ones that do acknowledge they're a bit different admit only that they "evolved". They say it's healthy to adjust your opinions as you grow and it's a sign that you're intelligent and willing to change and not be a "dick". Again, that view in itself is a brainwashed opinion as I've heard it bandied about by the mainstream media social pundit police. My opinion back to them is that they are disappointing weak sheep that are afraid to go against the grain of media propaganda to the point that they now are slaves to the corporate globalist agenda. It's silly to think that it's healthy to adjust your opinions and change your philosophy in radical ways when your new beliefs are not healthy and in fact counterproductive to the success your society. Again though, most won't even admit they have changed.

The Clintons...they’re Reagan Republicans with more Hollywood love. They could be Christian conservative in the 90s. Bill Clinton isn’t an ideological politician never was. He’s a business man. So is Hillary. They sell what sells. My bitch isn’t politics it’s the “overall” power thing. It’s the attitude of the CEOs, arts, science etc that is really important. Not politics. Clearly.

Of course, you have the right ask for an apology or say anything really. People can respond however they want to. What's wrong with that?

[@knowthingman]

doesn't matter. An apology exacted by force isn't an apology. It's a demand of contrition. It's an act of dominance which demands submission.

Backlash is a Bitch.

I think he sucks in comparison to the accolades he was getting there. As for what he's saying, he's a comedian, if you don't like what he's saying, don't go to his shows or listen to his stand up, it's a pretty simple equation to figure out. He's not dictating policy or making laws or something. Who cares that you're offended? I didn't hear him getting booed off the stage in that clip they played, so there's an audience there.

He did nothing wrong... and his shit was great.

[@samir6047]

Agreed a 100%

[@timjenkins7019]

I feel like Dave Chappelle's Sticks and Stones took Louis's premise and gave it a mainstream platform.

[@pizzamon795]

I used to not like Louis C.k. but after what he did, I really like him now.

[@michaelreed2787]

Carolla thinks he's funnier than Louie. "He's pretty funny I guess...but for some reason he got anointed the king of comedy." Carolla you're mildly amusing at best. Louie is one of the greats.

[@luketerry2006]

The outrage mob fears the laughter that comedians create towards them

[@theheroformula-org]

Comedy has one rule: make it funny. Louis is funny. end of story.

[@7Be]

I realized that Anthony Cumia and Adam Carrolla have the same initials, so their shows are both TACS. I think their personalities together would make a great show. I want The AC&AC Show. Or TACACS.

[@branon6565]

People were laughing, me included, cuz that shit IS FUNNY....and his bit was only funny cuz it's true...

[@billashby7858]

Let the market dictate, not the critics!

[@shrlbysmith2412]

The bit is funny when Louis puts a special out in supporting the he'll out of him despite the nedia

[@CoreyT127]

Nobody in the club seem to have a problem with it! The exact opposite if anything

[@alxra]

Comedy clubs should use the Yondr cellphone pouches like they use at music concerts now.

[@Thousttubeth]

Adam is an important and wise voice for our culture. Louis was absolutely hilarious. I'd like to hear the rest of this review, this clip isn't enough.

[@lucrativelyrics8131]

"previously unreleased / newly unearthed / re-discovered rare footage" = an old HBO special (viewed by millions, still available on DVD..

[@Paineinyourblank]

90% of good comedy pushes us past our comfort zone. I have no problems with Louis CK. If the audience doesnt find the joke funny, the comedian is going to work it out of their routine. They keep what we laugh at.

[@laurencezemlick1979]

Sides have already been taken in this fight, and the people who like Louis will always like Louie and the people who hate Louis will always hate him. This publicity mainly serves to fire up the Louie fan base.

[@Macabrebifidus37]

Comedians can joke about whatever they want. But they have to be aware of backlash and hate from people. Some people will laugh at and embrace the Louis CK humour. But you gotta be prepared to accept the fact that your humour isnt for everyone, and that there are people who will hate you and your material. To say that comedians cant joke about anything anymore is BS. If it bothers you, then dont listen to them. Dont seek them out. Move along and live.

[@thebestboss4563]

The guy who leaked Louis's set was a fan. He definitely shouldn't hv done it but dont think he was the Louis 'police'..just a fan who recorded his set. Personally, I laughed my ass off and really love Louis ck

[@drewdriskall3]

If the recorder was a fan, this seems to reveal how blind Louis CK fanboys are to the comedian's increasingly toxic takes. How could he not see that punching down on the Parkland survivors might be a bad take to try to draw cheap laughs?

[@edgardomartin8299]

​@@drewdriskall3 its only bad because he is making his comeback, if he did that joke about a shooting 10 years ago, there wouldn't be such a big deal. I agree that it shuldnt have been leaked, but because he is radioactive right now. People have to chill the F down (or is it up?).

[@WhyTheHorseface]

The issue isn't his comedy. the issue is he used his position to sexually harrass/assault women who worked for him or he had professional power over, and people feel he hasn't paid a sufficient price for that.

[@bjkarana]

"people feel he hasn't paid a sufficient price for that" Ok. Fine. But let's get specific; what price is sufficient?

[@shafali1972]

@@bjkarana Yeah, thats what i want to know too.

[@mystre3550]

Best way to get over something painful is to laugh about it. Point to be taken, this is comedy and if you know what type of material a comedian speaks, don't go.

[@Seabass_Fiction]

people's outrage is misdirected. If they're outraged about school shootings how is it a comedian's fault? If anything, comedians are keeping the topic relevant in order to fix it....

[@Blake_.Dryden]

The most idiotic thing is that it was a joke. He didn't go to a comedy club to have a serious political discussion. How is that hard to understand?

[@brooksbrooks6805]

I totally agree with Louis and Adam about the kids testifying. I really like adam's tsunami analogy, it pairs perfectly with the ignorance of my millenial peers...

[@OzymandiasWasRight]

Carollas been making me laugh for 25 years without having to pay a dime. I dont think i can say that about anyone else. Now i make an effort to buy a bonus podcast from time to time, and ill gladly buy any movie he makes, and part of it is because i owe him. Im happy hes wealthy, he deserves it as far as im concerned. I get it that he can be easy to hate, but thats part of his job.

[@gimlisbeardcomb]

I support Louis on this and many other things

[@Genghis_Sean_]

Funny as fuck that this bootleg audio recording was one of the best comedy sets in the past few years from any comic and all these Netflix specials are just filled boring, safe, lame jokes. This controversy freed Louis to explore topics that are actually hilarious.
