MAN CAVE: Getting a kick out of Louie
On every Thursday, the FX channel's Louie - an avant-garde sitcom by comedian Louis CK - is in the middle of its second season. If you haven't seen any of the new batch yet, it's just as good as ever. One episode in particular, "Moving" (Episode 3 on Hulu) is perhaps one of the funniest yet.
MAN CAVE: Getting a kick out of Louie
Man Cave is a testosterone-laden Monday feature that highlights the weekend haps of an everyday, pop-culture-loving Philly dude.
On every Thursday, the FX channel's Louie — an avant-garde sitcom by comedian Louis CK — is in the middle of its second season. If you haven't seen any of the new batch yet, it's just as good as ever. One episode in particular, "Moving" (Episode 3 on Hulu) is perhaps one of the funniest yet.
Centered around Louie looking for a new home for him and his two girls, it starts off with the traditional minute-and-a-half of standup at the Comedy Cellar. From there the story begins: Louis is moving a desk in the home he still shares with his ex-wife, his daughter hilariously chides him for doing something that would tick the ex-wife off and suddenly he's out in search for a new place to live.
After some funny fails with real estate agents, he ends up being shown a luxurious (and obviously unaffordable) penthouse. He marvels at home and daydreams about how great of a dad he'd' be if he bought it. The price is $17 million. Cut to a hilarious scene with his accountant, in which he's brought back down to reality.
Episode 7 is a somewhat historical moment in modern comedy. Louis' daughter is a big Lady Gaga fan, and he wants to get her tickets for her birthday. Louis meets with Dane Cook, who shares a promoter with Gaga, asking if he can help get tickets. Dane and Louis proceed to have a heart-to-heart about the 2006 blog-fueled mini-scandal which accused Dane of joke-thievery. Both men share their point of view. I won't describe it further. It will be more enriching for you to watch it first hand, embedded below.
