Louis C.K.: Shameless

I gave this an extremely high score a long time ago. Now that things about C.K. have been revealed, it makes me upset to look at the guy and realize that he used to be someone where I would think "yeah, I relate to him."

Pretty much a string of endless (hilarious) potty humour with bits of genuinely insightful stuff tossed in for good measure. Louis C.K. isn't my favourite comedian but I was constantly having some great laughs throughout this. If you don't mind dirty comedians that couldn't care less about being politically correct then this is certainly something to see.

I love his stuff. Funniest comic working today, hands down.

It's kinda cool how this guy's biggest detractors and biggest fans are somehow both right. Riotously funny in spots (and even his lesser material mostly succeeds) and all despite just being a bunch of dick and poop jokes.

A fairly constant stream of dick jokes and sex humor. Don't watch this with your momma.

One of the most interesting stand-ups, almost like a more personal version of Carlin. I don't think I've ever in my life laughed as hard watching something like when I saw Shameless.

Why the hell hadn't I heard of Louis C.K. before last week? Hilarious.

i put this guy on and all my cats start laughing and i lose consciousness

Oneof the only things Louis has done that's really impressed me

After over 20 years of stand-up, 2007 finds C.K. releasing his very first special, and it's great. That must be what 2 decades of experience do. This isn't formative stuff; it's him at his best, his on-stage persona as we know it from later specials already formed, and his delivery and rhythm as flawless as ever. He tackles some pretty risqué material, and the way he manages to keep it from getting off the rails and becoming tasteless is masterful. It's a thin line, and he knows how to walk it.
