Louis C.K. BLEW UP After Changing His Comedy Style - 2 Bears, 1 Cave Highlight

[@jmthomas3462]

So much talent in one room. And Bert.

[@rhysm.5915]

Bert does "I'm a total disaster" very well while not actually being that much of a disaster in the grand scheme of things. That takes talent. Very different kind than Louie or Tom though.

Seinfeld did Louis' vacation joke on "Talking Funny" and gave it a slightly different spin that made it more absurd than darkly existential. I'd love to see top-flight stand--ups doing their peer's material sort of like folk musicians covering their colleagues.

Funny, I thought that Seinfeld butchered the bit. It was a good representation of what Jerry can't do.

[@lpseudonyml]

Bert asks a question, then doesnt let Louie answer, cause he immediately launches into how the question applies to himself.

[@GraffitiBlack]

Which is why I have the hardest time watching these. It’s just him talking over whoever else is on this podcast

[@MrAlecksTv]

you can tell from his specials, that Divorce really made him funnier. He went from just saying silly irreverent shit to just full on dark & twisted humor.. with a splash of silly & irreverent. Got my tickets for the Garden.. LETS GO LOUIE !!

Hell yes. MSG here we go!

Thats true but he also had some specials that were killer when he was married as well. Theres an couple of 30min hbo specials i forget the name, were he goes his wife didnt wanna fuck or give him a bj so the best she could offer was a tug, and louis goes it was the saddest moment in history, i looked the the thinker statue or his daughters doing disguting stuff and louis is just bashing the shit outta them.

It was pretty good, as good as his last two specials.. after a couple of days to think about it I would say his last one Sorry was probably the funniest out his last 3.

It's for a select audience though. My last birthday a colleague asked me: "how was your birthday?" My response: Another year closer to my grave. And yours..

[@CoachCraigKenneth]

Erik was one of my best friends… and I was lucky enough for him to call me his best friend. His Dad who I really loved, Rich, passed away from cancer. My dad passed maybe a week or two after his… ( which is 2 years ago today). Erik was hurting. We had a long talk about losing our dads and everything else. Erik was sober and I had no immediate concerns about him relapsing. A few days later, he was hit by a van. He was traveling in between gigs on a bus and I believe had an anxiety attack. (I talked with the man who saw Erik get off the bus because he actually had Erik’s phone) The bus driver let Erik off the bus, on a highway, in freezing temperatures (it was around when Texas had that horrible snow storm). Failed to notify the police. And he was killed walking down a dark highway. I loved Erik like a brother. He was funnier off stage than on. Nobody made me laugh like him. He was truly brilliant and could make anything funny immediately. He had a good heart and was always caring and easy to talk to. I miss him all the time….

"Take you to that cragey rock, but THAT IS LIVING."

[@aaronisacomedian]

Oh man, the Erik Meyers mention. A few years ago I was on probation where I live in Wichita, & after a p.o. meeting I was walking to the bus station, & it started to rain. I was right by our comedy club (I've been doing stand up locally close to 10 years in current time) so I went there to get out of the rain. It was a Thursday around 3pm. Eric Meyer never showed up so they bumped the feature to headliner, host to feature, & asked if I wanted to MC the weekend. I believe that was the beginning of Erik's last relapse. He was so damn funny. RIP :/

[@stephengarcia1402]

Not to be a dick, but was there any point in sharing about his last relapse? Seemed like you just wanted to drop that you do comedy instead of offering a good memory like the other comics. We all knew he suffered

[@notsoberoveranalyzer8264]

Hearing Louis talk about seeing all these other guys make it long before him, and just how early he started. When he says Hard Work, it comes off different, then when obviously talented & lucky people make it ( they must also work hard. But it’s different, if you’re seeing all these other people make it.)

[@na-vn5qy]

i wonder what kind of comedy mitch hedberg would be doing right now. i loved his persona, but he was an insanely clever joke writer, the world seriously missed out in not getting to see him evolve. or he could be doing the same thing and he'd still be amazing, but. just a thought.

[@DreamWaves]

When Bert "interviews" someone, he spends 99% of the time talking. He's either talking FOR the guest, telling them THEY what did, said, etc. or he talks about himself, when HE saw them, what HE was doing when he saw them, etc. All completely irrelevant. He did the exact same thing in his infamous interview with Adam Sandler, everyone trashed the f'k out of him for it, and he just keeps doing it.

[@funderburke43]

Don't look at him as the guest, he's filling in for Tom so really he's the babysitter

[@lymphomasurvive]

@@Fcetc The ultimate key to humor is relatability. There's obviously so much more but the funniest things come from pain. And if you don't find something funny that other people find funny, it may be that you just don't relate to it in any way (though there may be other reasons).
