Louis CK - Neil Patrick Harris is unfunny & Comedy

It was consensual, and there was no business pressure or employer-employee. The *actual* complaints against Louis CK also confirm that, so you basically just have media guys spreading poisonous rumors as facts and the crowd eating it up.

[@gojeffygo1066]

Good joke. M’dudes he’s talking about what he wants happens. If you want to defend him knock yourself out but film and tv are collaborative, and he’s got distain for that. You’re saying he’ll shit on anybody but him having a say but he would’ve walked away? Dude is a narcissist and narcissists love to trap people in gray areas.

[@zednotzee]

I totally agree with the "TV dialogue" thing. My wife has been re-watching 'Gilmore Girls' lately, and the phony dialogue drives me nuts. Worse than the overwrought dialogue, is the rapid fire delivery. There's not even a beat between lines. No character takes a second to absorb what's been said to them and then respond. Every line exchange is like a ping pong game

@@UltimaPowers Pretty much every comic and host joked about Amy Winehouse for years. Conan, Jay, Norm... People were just waiting her to die while making jokes about her. Press was making jokes too, and you know, audiences were laughing. Then when she died people were like "Oh, so tragic and untimely!" Not to defend NPH, but there's an element of hypocricy, as it's largely the same people who are judging him which were still laughing to all the rehab jokes just a minute before Amy Winehouse died.

louie is completely right. Intentionality completely kills comedy. Because people don't want to laugh at how clever you are, they wanna laugh at you. At who you are as a person. Because humanity is inherently funny.

[@naylik2562]

[@mattpopemusic]

Which is why Frasier kills it, because Frasier and Niles are funny in their being their helplessly clever and pompous selves

[@SirLied]

Is is why Curb Your Enthusiam is so hysterical in a similar way to Louie. Just putting the characters in situations and letting them be themselves is the core of every joke

[@mattpopemusic]

@@SirLied Yeah, like Frasier, Curb is also good because it's complex. Frasier and Niles are loveable because they refuse to compromise on their ridiculous but often endearing and sometimes genuinely sincere interpretations of the world. Likewise, Larry David, while being considered by some an arsehole (and sometimes I guess he is) is ultimately a hero who in being relentlessly himself resists society's often hypocritical expectations for good behaviour. Either we think Frasier, Niles, and Larry are loveable idiots, or we see that they are in fact loveable precisely because they refuse to compromise. Sorry to go on, but it's similar to the character Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream, who people think is the dunce or fool, but is in fact the most consistently authentic and therefore heroic character in the play (excluding Puck).

[@ebdprod]

True NPH story which tells you how random showbiz is...I was working on a pilot at CBS that was casting the same time as HIMYM that was far more in demand to actors than it. Neil desperately wanted our show because it was created by very prestigious producers and he tested (auditioned for the network execs) literally right before HIMYM and we had to let his agent know right away he didn’t get ours so he was available to go in for them like 30 minuets later. I mean his agent desperately tried to get him on our show and cancel the HIMYM reading but no, he wasn’t getting our show. He was ice cold in the business and wanted to be on a show (ours) that looked likely to work and would be good for his career. The result: our show failed and was cancelled after 13 episodes, and HIMYM made him incredibly rich, famous and an Emmy winner. Showbiz is literally playing the lottery.

HIMYM was a fun for what it was like Frasier - it's a farce based on familiar characters like a warm blanket; when it's a show like Louie, you don't know where the jokes lead to. It's also a risk because you're putting it mostly on one person's brain to make the show; HIMYM was good early on but hit a nosedive because writers and scripts changed little by little instead of just one creator shitting the bed.

Was the world of the show Harris was on elevated in its reality and a little glossy? Sure, but that's the style they chose. They weren't even aiming at the thing Louis is saying he prefers. And guess what? They made a ton of people laugh out loud with their approach to their show. Louis knows that laughs from an audience are honest. Comedy is like a sport. If the audience laughs that means you scored. It doesn't matter if you ran the ball in or threw it. You scored. And no kvetching from someone who thinks you should have scored a different way matters at all. I also find the constant complaints that "people don't talk that way!" to be of very little interest to me. Have you ever listened to the way people actually talk most of the time? It's BORING. Every show is going to be written for something approaching hyper realism or something very unrealistic or something in between, and these are all valid approaches to the work. If you claim that only one approach is valid then you are boring in your approach to art. You do you. Hopefully you will be successful, but other people will be too.

Love Louie. But he's wrong. NPH is great in what he does. Just different style

[@kylecronin8737]

I don't agree that NPH isn't funny, but this conversation totally sheds a light on the difference between shows like Family Guy, HIMYM, and Two and a Half Men; and Lucky Louie, South Park, and (dare I say?) SNL.

[@turbogav8674]

The name Keith always cracks me up. We use to use it in high school as an insult. Your mate trips on something …. "watch were your going Keith"

[@turbogav8674]

Wow its still going huh. Im going back 15 years ago and in Australia. It was just really me and another mate calling each other and other people keith. He got it from his 3 brothers who use to call their old man keith. I assumed they made it up because my mate was called matt but both parents called him mattie, another brother was ben, both parent used his full name of Benjamin. another brother was called frank, which is just as bad as keith. I thought they were just getting back at him.

[@MrCWL]

Voidaken Is it because of the family guy bit about it being the least sexy name in the English language?

[@turbogav8674]

OneStauffder Sirynch we used it in 1999. Before family guy. This could turn into a documentary. How far back does this unique insult go?

[@jamestesseyman7141]

My middle name is Keith and I managed to keep it hidden for many years in till I got married and they use your full name in front of everyone you know.

[@plainpawesome]

Can't deny this was a funny thread.. We used to make jokes on Keith too... And it was 20yrs ago... in Canada!

Louie: “there’s no method to doing comedy. Anyway, here’s my method.”

[@kylemagley6960]

OMG i have had the same opinion on nph. everything he says has a wink and a nod to the audience. "can you believe it's me, doogy howser, saying this?!?!"

[@HAST0408]

I feel like it applies to a lot of people in general. Always certain that they know it all & won't listen to anyone that says otherwise.

[@Alexander-uy2st]

In terms of phony dialogues i think nothing beats "New Girl" with Zooey Deschanel.

Can’t stand that show. I don’t see how people can enjoy it. I guess most people are just that brainless.

When was he hilarious?

[@Clipahoy]

In his gay show or the other gay show he is in. St Fu!

[@zacharybrooks4169]

keith who?

[@alberto7754]

Keith Robinson. Google Louis CK and Keith Robinson: they've done some interviews together, lots of shows together, and there's a few articles I found where he recommends people check Keith's stuff out, so pretty sure it's him.

[@geneberrocal3220]

100% agreement about Neil P. Harris.

[@alesiayw]

Come back Louie ❤️

[@alesiayw]

Oh my, someone got rapped 😱!?!? That’s crazy. Tell me, who was forced to have sexual intercourse without consent?

[@alesiayw]

He asked for permission. What a monster 😑😒

[@alesiayw]

I need people to stop being emotional sheep and think. (No offense) Some people are into that. If a person, no matter the relationship to me, was attracted to their coworker and maybe had a history of flirting and what not, if that person ask for permission to take it further, I can’t see how that could be offensive. The answer is yes or no. It sounds like he respected their answer. I wish people would use common sense and not emotions all the time. But I guess that’s the simple minded estrogen world we live in. This thread is no longer worth my time.

[@jwhite1016aol]

harooni22 yes.. it is okay

[@Tedshatimporium]

What an absolutely perfect sound bite for a lesson in writing!!! Rename it!

[@JoshPhoenix11]

Theres definitely a science to Larry Davids non-writing on Curb Your Enthusiasm. But what Larry demonstrates is the standard comedy writing science that was being talked about isn't a universal law. Plus another point is if you agree theres such a thing as 'comedic timing' then you're acknowledging theres a science and formula behind why its an actual thing.

[@TimWing23]

Neil Patrick Harris is funny in Harold and Kumar, but it's because of the writing.

[@Frosmad]

Lol as i was listening to this i opened the TV and ofc who i see first but Neil Patrick Harris on "How i met your mother" :D

​@@AlexG-xl1cci love you daddy was pretty off key...

[@andyinmichigan9058]

I think they're both funny in their own ways. I didn't watch himym much, But NPH himself is pretty funny. Also Louis is Hilarious as well, sorta surpsied he wouldn't find nph funny one way or another, but it's subjective I suppose. Seems he got caught doing something a little unsavory. Well, he apologized...and I think he's smart enough to realize his mistakes. I don't think he should be done forever. I'm sure he'll be around soon enough. Time seems to heal all wounds, and create indifference as well.

[@cjok8367]

Louie ducked up when he made 4million off Horance & Pete without any network help. He was showing ppl how to break away from that old system. I believe he pissed off some powerful ppl & he had to go. Considering he hasn't done anything any worse than 95% of other ppl in showbiz & what he did was ask permission!

[@Ray_D_Tutto]

Bingo. He also talked on Opie and Anthony about how he was becoming more independent with his stand up in the business sense.

[@sinekonata]

[@ShadowAssassin7]

Who is Louis' friend Keith he describes as being in the back of the bus? (I cried laughing when he said that btw) Anyone know Keith's last name?

[@tubopopcorn]

My guess is Keith Robinson, he's a comedian, he's black, he's Louis' style, and in this video, he talks about being 'the back of the bus comedian'. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWabiaV4qpyghNE

Louie, start in the moment of the idea and write just that to completion (starting only in the moment). Stories often fill themselves in as you go, just keep going (sometimes the moment is the beginning. Miss you, dude! I'm just a fan (who happens to also write and love your work).
