In the era of Trump, comedy is dead, and comics killed it. Fucking

So for anyone who has enjoyed his past specials, especially Hilarious and Shameless:

Is it worth watching?

>>81312313
Yes. It's very funny. OP is a dumbass.

Louis CK is a cuck but his segue commentary into the Magic Mike bit was a nuke.

>For those of you watching this on video many years from now, Magic Mike was a movie about male strippers starring Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum
>And it was a very different country when it was made from whatever you're watching
>But anyway, we had a whole other thing going on
>This building's not here anymore
>But your watching it on a dusty thing and it's all rubble, and you're watching this, I don't know why you're watching this out of everything
>But when things were real easy, we made movies like Magic Mike, it's just a nice movie about men who strip

That he can openly joke about, and people acknowledge and laugh at, the fact that we're sating hedonistic thirst during the fleeting stage of decade of an empire in decline is very eerie. He taps into the unspoken, subterranean current of selfish shortsightedness in culture we know will wrought destruction, and there's understanding. Comprehension of the premise, validation of the view, resigned and cavalier acceptance of the consequences that are all but a forgone conclusion at this point.

Are you kidding me. First off deconstructing a joke like that is retarded as fuck, not to mention that literally none of that even is in the subtext there. He just projected /pol/'s lewronggeneration bullshit into it.

>>81312313
It's honestly 10/10 except for the last 10 minutes where he does an extended bit about Magic Mike

>>81312167
This was unironically one of his best specials in a while. The stuff about Christianity "winning" was great.

>>81313030
>First off deconstructing a joke like that is retarded as fuck

Why?

He hammered the same point three times. The message is clear, are you angry because you don't like it?

>>81312167
literally kys the comedy special

Shameless (2007) was groundbreaking because Louis was so self-depreciating to the point where he publicly humiliated his daughters and officially destroyed his marriage.

10 years later,, he's wearing a suit and pandering to baby-killing whores. Success destroys yet another artist, I suppose.

>>81313197
No I'm saying that within the context of a stand up comedian like Louis telling a joke, "close reading" something like that is fundamentally fucking flawed because the entire "text" is built off of hyperbole.

And again, none of that is even there. It was fairly obvious he was referencing the current tenuous political situation. Why the fuck would Louis C.K. be trying to imply the end of western civilization as coming from unfettered hedonism from the degradation of traditional moral values, when the only people that actually buy into that shit are radical muslims and narcissistic teenagers from this website?

kill yourself

>>81312167
There isn't a single good comedian and I challenge anyone to prove me wrong

I've enjoyed his last specials and will say that this one was probably his weakest.

>>81312167
>C(UC)K

>>81312313
It's pretty bad. He only tells like 4 jokes over the course of the whole special and just drags them out far past the point where they stop being funny. I swear the whole last half hour is just "Magic Mike made me gay now I want to get a boyfriend and suck dicks."

>>81313528
>it's just comedy bro

Get a load of this retard! He thinks that line means comedy doesn't make social commentary instead of that comedy should be able to make social commentary.

Did you watch the rest of his act? The guy constantly talks about his own selfishness and how it's reflected in others.

You're very dumb.

>>81312167
Did he even say anything about Trump in the 2017 special?

I'm not wasting bandwidth on another "FUCK TRUMP"-A-Thon. Does this have actual comedy or is it the same liberal bitching as usual?

>>81313916
No, there's nothing remotely political.

>>81313752
I'm not saying comedy can't have social commentary within it, I'm saying deconstructing a throwaway joke like that one specifically and pretending like your insights are anything but pure conjecture is retarded.

And yes I did watch the rest of his act. My bad, I guess it should have been obvious that the guy who spent 20 minutes on middle schoolers fingering each other and wanting to fuck Matthew McConaughey was trying to inject social anxieties that are really only voiced to that extreme by people with far right-wing views into this small segue of a joke, despite that not being evident within the words themselves and despite him being a known liberal. Silly me.

You're very dumb and you think you're smart and that's just the worst.

>>81312167
I just watched the first 10 minutes of this unfunny garbage

Literally 9 minutes of him comparing abortions and pooping and another minute of telling people if they kill themslef, ISIS loses

that was fucking cringy

>>81312313
it's pretty good, but because of my autism i couldn't enjoy the calendar joke because muslims have their own calendar and he didn't even dismiss it like with the chinese one.

It's funny how everyone is too young to remember Bush being the punchline of every joke for 8 years straight (or until 9/11 then they weren't allowed to make fun of him). And before that Clinton's sex scandal was all that comedians would talk about.

But everyone here is under 18 so doesn't remember anything before Obama.

>>81314092

>jokes about a grim future

It's simple and you're not getting it, why? It's time to stop posting.

>>81313985
Louis CK's joke was that Trump is gonna ruin everything, he's an evil guy, because Trump is a republican, republicans are BAAAAD, Trump is also a rich exec (please ignore that Louis CK is rich as fuck too) which means he's turbo evil and Trump is going to start WW3. Typical "US MODERATES/LIBERALS HUH?" joke.
Anon is saying is that he's creeped out that Louis CK was making fun of the decline of America. Louis CK is tapping into the unspoken force of short-sighted hedonism and understands that said hedonism will destroy America. While not offering a single bit of help, or insight to save America.

>>81313988
>i'm now convinced Netflix is a curse that leaves any creator with a filmy layer of mediocrity

i thought about this
something like "netflix special is the new tv sitcom deal" for stand up people
but then i remembered that hbo did the same shit in the 80's and 90's with their specials or whatever
it's nobody's fault that the material is weak, happens to every comedian
where are the new guys? some of these guys peaked around 2010 or earlier (dave, fucking seinfeld) it's 2017 ffs

>>81315277
Where are the good new comedians?

Burr started going down hill a couple years ago himself. Nothing against him, he held out a long time but started a family and that changes people. Nothing wrong with that, but he isn't nearly as funny anymore.

Best part was the 12 year old fingering imo. Only time I actually laughed out loud. About 40 percent of the rest of it I smiled and the remainder was garbage

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH KEKOLDRY

Just like Bill Burr's latest special, I was hype for some new comedy but was ultimately left very underwhelmed. You can pick it apart as much as you want, but it basically boils down to often thinking "this bit isn't funny, why continue to keep pushing it?" instead of genuinely laughing from the material and its delivery.

The latest special I can think of that had me laughing throughout was Ben Gleib's Neurotic Gangster special. I highly recommend it.

I'm gonna watch this right now. It had better be good mister!

why is it so hard to make fun of trump? 99% of the time it comes off as butthurt and sarcasm.

You've never heard of the Roamn Empire?

>>81316752
Please watch and report back to me. Make a new thread about Gleib if this one dies

>>81316970
Good question.

I think it's because he's naturally such a unique individual in looks and mannerisms that playing them up in caricature isn't novel.

The best way to make fun of him would be to belittle his accomplishments in a dry sarcastic way, unfortunately for the leftist media that has been their entire MO for decades and it's so stale that even with a target like Trump, who is more sensitive to it than any recent president, it still falls flat because it's such a tired routine.

Former Comedian here. You wouldn't believe how cucked comedy has become. Socialists and Feminists have ruined it to the point that an entire generation of comedians are basically human shit and all you have left is these old guys from the 90s and early 2000s before everything went to shit.

Feminist bloggers and socialists came screaming about how anything funny is offensive and how they're not getting a chance. So now you get Amy Schumers and whatever mystery meat hate whitey faggot comedian of the moment. This in effect has killed the business of comedy meaning there's no money in it anymore and it's rapidly dying as an industry.

It really is annoying. I've been trying to get away from politics lately just because of how hyper political everything has become over the past year. But it's almost fucking impossible.

Why can't they just be funny? Why do they have to go for the lowest hanging fruit and circlejerk about the same fucking shit over and over and over again? I don't feel like hearing anti-Trump shit anymore. I don't feel like hearing pro-Trump shit anymore. Fucking move on to something else already.

I wonder if you even know moral decline is what the ancients themselves sourced it to.

The cycle of empire keeps happening and it always has a hedonistic and navelgazing free fall before the end. That's now. What it also always has is the people cheering the signs of the end and claiming the old ways were bad and just held you back. That's you.

>>81317797

I second this: >>81313291

It was meh. Kinda funny but not what you would expect of him. I still laugh out loud at his old specials. With this once. Feels recycled. Premise of rescued dog was straight from Burr.

His shows are better than his stand up at the moment.

And I still can't come back from Hillary endorsement. Did Carlin endorse anyone ever?
Yeah.
And I'm from Russia, I do not give a fuck either way. But that was cringy as fuck.

and yet something better comes along always. america will fall, there will be some hardship, a better empire that's new and good will take it's place. you're deluding yourself into thinking you can stop a very natural pattern in humanity. you rise, you fall, you rise even higher. it seems like you're just butthurt because you personally were born in the fall and will probably not get to see the glorious heights, which is ok, because you as a singular human being is insignificant. make the best of what's an unstoppable force of nature my friend.
