Louie’s actual standup is just about as good as anyone’s - and he’s got a really special skill with being hilarious… But he’s also got a ridiculously brilliant skill with creating this kind of excruciating tension of awkward, uncomfortable dramatic moments - the genius of a comedian who can stay in those moments without resolving them or giving his audience a silly way out, where the tension is broken.

My god this is brutal lol this clip needs to be shown to all children to prepare them for how adult life is going to be 😂😂😂

[@michaelm3691]

Adult life: A series of humiliations and crushed dreams. Then you do something stupid which people for some reason like, so you keep on doing it.

[@tatehildyard5332]

Still doesn’t really get it across because DL is too enjoyable of a presence. I would honestly pay to have him talk to me like this. Even if he is verbally castrating me.

[@chendaddy]

Hadn't thought of that before, but...yeah.

[@flowermunchy]

@@michaelm3691 i like that

I’m in Showbiz. It’s worse than this

Alright I think you better leave my office. 😂😂😂

[@RhumpleOriginal]

If you like David Lynch you should checkout 'Fire is coming' by Flying Lotus. He has David handle dialog over the music. Very ominous stuff.

[@Enterprisingengine93]

oh my god it's a laura palmer theme riff playing throughout this scene

[@justin410x]

Someone edit this in!

Justin Glass it fits so well thank you for giving me this idea lmao

I did not know that David Lynch could deliver comedic lines with such flair and humor on top of making provocatively surreal films.

[@ThisIsCreation-FollowOnTwitter]

Have you not seem him in twin peaks

[@vb8428]

Many of his characters and behind the scenes videos of him are funny. Including his KZbin channel

[@1738-l1j]

Have you not seen any of the interviews he funny af

[@stevennieto9898]

David Lynch never has enough lamps 😋

[@hannahpickles4825]

Imagine trying to make someone like David Lynch laugh. His head is already a carnival

[@hymonom]

“… … Please leave this room.” I can’t breathe.

[@truvelocity]

I love that director (David Lynch). He's insane.

[@SelfReflective]

You just bought yourself another week. Go home and get some rest.

[@tsarnicholasii274]

@ Yeah of course, in no possible universe does anyone know who david lynch is

[@tsarnicholasii274]

@ That doesn't mean other people haven't heard of him or seen his movies. Age has nothing to do with it, I'm 15 and I saw Blue Velvet a while ago and am currently watching Twin peaks. Stop trying to gatekeep when you haven't even watched any of his works.

[@hashdealer8822]

James D If you don't know who David Lynch is you don't know a fair deal about movies.

[@hashdealer8822]

James D No you don't.

"1, 2, 3, Go!" (The way he says "Go" I burst out laughing when I first saw this) Literally my favorite arc of Louie "Late Show".

[@cosmicmuffet1053]

Aww Man. I love Louis CK. I normally find discomfort based humor so uncomfortable that I can't sit through it, but he manages to get the right angle on it where I really enjoy it while still feeling like I'm the dork who'd be making an ass of myself in that situation.

[@reidboggs4344]

Someone once said that David Lynch was the only person to speak in all caps without yelling.

[@crosscountrycrusader]

This is one of the most brilliant shows I've ever seen

[@PlusTheSkim]

My dad is a huge David Lynch fan, and couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole clip. And the music is a homage to twin peaks- I bet Lynch directed the episodes he was in.

[@LeifCoffield]

david lynches voice is exactly like how id imagine a stressed shopkeeper in a 1930's family friendly film

[@robonick3607]

“You just bought yourself another week” that and “short for champion” so goddamn funny

[@bigkrutherford]

"you just bought yourself another week" 😂

[@primussucks2519]

lynch has always known how to make any scene cringe, i love it! louils awkwardness and lynch's awkwardness goes together so well

[@alainportant6412]

I dont think cringe means what you think it means

[@TotinosOtherBoy]

@@alainportant6412 no, cringe is the perfect way to describe this scene. Its an uncomfortable social situation where one embarrasses themselves in a social situation, thats what cringe is

[@jessica5497]

@@TotinosOtherBoy no, cringe something that is embarrassing, but it was not intended to be, its a negative term. this is not cringe, as the video is intended to have discomfort, not by an error or problem in the recording. you could call this scene awkward but not cringe...cringe doesn't make sense.

[@TotinosOtherBoy]

Wrong. Its cringe.

[@SecondClass1]

@@jessica5497 "Cringe" isn't always used negatively, that's just the connotation it's developed through time and the Internet's influence. It used to (and still does) refer to the type of uncomfortable comedy Totinos mentioned. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cringe_comedy
