It's a performance. Stanhope isn't always on alcohol and drugs, it's a performance act which brings in a paycheck, that's all. Don't believe everything you see being shown on the stage in front of an audience.

[@davefarlow]

​@@RK-eo8glSome of that performance stems from real life experiences. Not buying being drunk and depressed is just Stanhopes schtick and when he's off stage he's all happy and jolly.

[@ryanjohnson6614]

What I love about this scene is how it nails real, no-bullshit depression. Stanhope isn’t pulling a “boohoo, poor me” routine. He’s straight-up, almost cheerful about his choice. It’s not sadness; it’s just that bone-deep, empty exhaustion. Life’s been a never-ending slog, and he’s finally realized he’s not even carrying anything worth the hassle. So why not just say, “screw it”? It’s like quitting a soul-sucking job that barely pays you to tolerate idiots. Some coworkers might pretend to care you’re leaving, but by lunch the next day, you’re just the name they forgot in the breakroom.

[@brewdog11]

I remember turning on “Louie” after a terrible day at work and was expecting something funny. This was the episode I watched. After watching, I sat in silence for an hour blankly staring at the screen just thinking about it. It still gives me goosebumps today.

[@georgescdoodle]

The way Louie's voice breaks when he says, "why are you telling me this right now?" He's still composed but that little bit makes you hear his heart sink.

[@rhysobrien2439]

This scene hits me so hard every time I watch it. I just cry, I can't help it. I've been where Eddie is and it's horrible. It's so accurate. Eventually the depression becomes a weird beast, you're not sad anymore, instead you're just numb and empty. Devoid of any emotion, even sadness. You're just completely helpless and resigned to the fact that your continued existence is pointless, yet the will to live still persists and you can't quite go through with suicide. It's awful and you feel completely trapped. Then comes the horrible realisation that you have another 40+ years to go like this and you just give up. I gave up on life, certainly on happiness. I would have been thrilled to even just feel content. Happiness seemed so unattainable that content seemed more realistic. I would have settled for just not wanting to die every morning when I woke up and every night before I fell asleep, if I was lucky enough to sleep and sleep without the horrible nightmares. I've had clinical depression for going on 20 years. Anxiety also. I've literally been hunched over in the foetal position, rocking back and forth like a madman in the middle of the supermarket because my mind shut down. Then came my stroke, my brain aneurysm and my heart valve infection in 2020, in the middle of COVID lockdown. I was in hospital for two months and wasn't allowed a single visitor. Not that there were many to visit me. All of my friends abandoned me when it all got too much for them to handle. I now have permanent damage, my emotions are even more chaotic and uncontrollable, I developed a stutter when I get emotional and lose my train of thought very quickly. My right hand doesn't work properly anymore and I had to re-learn how to write and stuff. I also have PTSD now from the whole ordeal. I can't sleep, I have horrible nightmares when I do and my anxiety is worse than ever as a consequence. To top it all off I've developed a heroin addiction as a way to cope. I'm broke, 37 and have nobody and nothing. I might still kill myself, but I'll at least wait until after my parents die and I'm sure that my sister is safe and happy. Those three are the only ones left in the world that give a shit. I don't know why, I'm a selfish piece of shit but they love me anyway. Nothing has worked and I've done everything. Therapy, medication, meditation, exercise, hypnosis, acupuncture the list goes on. Drugs numb the pain for a little while, that's it. I've seen more Psychologists, psychiatrists, Mental Health Nurses and Alcohol & Other Drug counsellors that i've lost count. Nobody can help me, least of all myself. I'm just so tired, I just want to sleep. I wish I could have the things that other, 'normal' people have. A job, a woman, kids, a family and a few close friends would be nice. I've never travelled, or been in love or done anything that I'm proud of. I don't really know why I'm writing this now. I guess for posterity. If I do cash out there'll be a record that I was here. I hope the rest of you are happy and have nice lives that you get to share with people you love. That's all that matters and I can't have that because I'm broken and defective. But I don't want anybody to have to feel like I feel or have to go through what I've been through. It's no kind of life. ❤️

[@Garrus1995]

Depression is a bad place to be. The thing is, it’s not even about feeling sad all the time. You feel sad sometimes but a lot of the time your attitude is “I just don’t care about anything anymore.” It’s a horrible feeling to think that there’s no reason to keep going.

@@sickturret3587 I'm with you on that, certainly - his personal relationship with the idea still had to be drawn upon as a character and in the context of making a show. Doug was able to "drop into that head space" while others can't on command whether they've had brushes with suicidal thoughts or not. Doug was 100 percent believable. Further, Louie knows what he is doing ie knowing Stanhope enough to "type cast" him for that story line.

A depressed mind usually won't be able to see the good, because everything feels wrong, you don't enjoy the stuff you did, you feel like a monster, like a waste, like you took everything from everyone around you, more than you should and couldn't give something back, some people care even for the animals they consumed and feel terrible for being part of something that's is indeed fucked up, others care for even the ants they step on and question how much harm they did without thinking, they feel empty, sad, ''Why'' is a constant word appearing on their head and no one will be able to answer, there is few people who stay and talk, few who care or are brave and strong to carry you on their shoulder for a while till you can run again, but they do exist, I think we have grown too distant, with life, with ourselves, with a meaning, we have grown too dependent on celebrities, on recreational drugs, on instant pleasure, so much that we have lost ourselves, try to hang out with someone, go on a trip with family, or pet a dog, give something to a random person who needs it, be kind, a small action can stop the pull from this chain of hopelessness weighting a person down, and many actions, from many people working on their own to help a stranger...it can break it.

I’ve been feeling the same way lately, particularly after a really really disappointing romantic encounter I had.

Thing is I’m terrified of death and I got family and friends who care for me, so I guess I’ll just keep on living even though I’m so utterly drained by it 90% of the time. I just feel so guilty for feeling this way with having a lot of objectively positive stuff in my life unlike Eddie.

[@TheDevilsHouse]

Yes I can, I got a note from my doctor!

[@fremason91]

Stanhope nailed that

[@ss_avsmt]

The real beauty of this episode is that it starts with Louie doing stand up and saying that, you know sometimes you see someone so bad that you think why they are still doing it? They should just kill themselves. And here in the end we see him in stark contrast, telling him to drink water and wake up early and try again. The emotions in this episode!

Fucking Stanhope man, the guy is brilliant

[@jeffreysouza9784]

I cant believe you end the clip there

[@TheVeganlibrarian]

Fuck. It feels like a journal entry

[@tommyz5189]

This is the real Doug,, he's not joking. Doug is a real person who speaks the truth..

[@ARKHAMASYLUM-qc7bw]

Awareness is better then nonsense

[@chipfreedom8598]

wow

[@orangeorphan]

Great scene. I love Louie. Its a brilliant show. It’s sad that it’s so difficult to watch it anymore because Louis got “cancelled”.

[@ModeratelyAmused]

You cut out the most intriguing part and the reason why Louis wrote it to begin with.

[@aclarkedesign]

Stanhope killed it.

[@TeKillaShot]

Why would you not include the whole scene wtf

[@th3dudeabides1]

stanhope is amazing, his comedy is the most honest and funniest truth you'll ever see. I could barely breathe on Beer Hall Putsch. But he's also a tortured soul in pain, his comedy is the flip side of his personal demons.

New movie staring Stanhope -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/bITRYYSZatF9gNE&ab_channel=FreestyleDigitalMedia

[@davidhooper259]

Hollywood needs to sack up and realize comedians and sketch comedy actors are superior dramatic actors….except maybe Daniel Day Lewis but that’s it.

"Merry christmas"

[@cerison6274]

Man you cut the best part

[@derrick9635]

Too soon old ,too late smart . Very few people are able to hear that from a freind and if they do ,,they've done alot and respect the freind .I am eddie .

[@Skankhunt556]

Hate that they cut louies part that really always hit home to me when he says fuck you I worked hard for what I have I’m not just going to give you a reason to live you have to get that your self
