Louis CK's sitcom 'Louie' has officially jumped the shark. In the latest episode of his show, Louie lets a girl beat him up, wears makeup, and gets raped by a woman. I can't embed the video, but here's the make-up and rape scene:

There's no coming back from this.

Louie is a great show to watch if you want to figure out how NOT to act towards women or live your life in general.

Was Louis ever "on the shark"?

Louis CK's a favorite among Blue Pillers for a reason: A doughy, asexual, neurotic white man who enjoys self-flagellating for being white and male.

[CactusCat589]

Nah it's okay, he's just a soulless ginger. No bearing on white guys.

I started watching this show a few weeks ago, I began at the forth season and am now watching the fifth. The very first episode of the forth season was the one in which RoK said Louie bowed to fat acceptance. But to be honest I don't see it like that.

I see the character Louie as a typical American beta male. He is non-confrontational, he is raising two daughters where he believes their happiness is his sole responsibility, and his ex-wife is a ball-busting career woman who divorced him because she was running the relationship and he wasn't living up to her entitled expectations.

I haven't watched this latest episode yet but I appreciate the show for being an accurate representation of an extremely common day in the life of a divorced beta male/single dad. At the end of the first episode of season four the ranting fat chick comes at him with all the typical excuses and tripes of how she's a victim. Louie is just silent and looks back at her feeling guilty, his silence implying that she's right on all counts and that men are pieces of shit for having such shallow sexual desires.

Louie's weak, passive, non-confrontational (fails every shit test, even from his daughters) frame is how 90% of men in this country behave because they have been trained to do so. However, halfway through season four when Louie meets the Hungarian woman, and they fall in love, was an amazing display of how women from eastern Europe stand up as pillars of femininity. When she leaves and Louie crawls back to Pamela (the pumped-and-dumped spinster) for companionship, and she walks all over him, is when we see just how wretched American women are and how amazing EE women are in comparison. I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up on here before, it echoes so many manosphere articles.

All in all I'd say the show is great because the character Louie is an accurate reflection of just how far men have fallen in American society. Watching from a red pill standpoint I laugh my ass off because it's based in pure truth; relationships are a fucking joke in this country and bleeding heart liberals run the show.

I don't care what RVF's alpha-beta judgement on the guy ends up being, but he's a comedic genius and I love him for that.

It had its moments.

I have to agree with Nomads comments however I too spent the entire last episode cringing & will probably not come back to this show anymore. It's just too painful to watch.

Contrast this show with Jim Jeffries Legit, one of the most red-pill, masculine & hilarious shows I've ever seen. Legit was cancelled after 2 seasons (watch it, no surprises why) while Louie is still going strong into 5 seasons. Tells a lot about what audiences are comfortable with these days and is a crying shame.

I have always had such a visceral reaction to that Pamela Adlon every time she's on screen. In Californication it was bearable because of the context of the show, however in Louie she's just the most disgusting & grotesque sub-human character I've ever witnessed on screen. She seems to play these characters so well & so often that I have to believe that she is like this in real life & it makes me sick to know there are humans out there who operate like this.

[monster]

Never liked Louie too much.

Jim Jefferies "Legit" - now that's where its at!

[Oz.]

I've only seen this show once,

The episode I watched was Louie trying to get his obese sister I think it was to the hospital because she thought she was giving birth, long story short it wasn't a baby, instead it was a massive fart she had to let rip.

I have never watched this show since.

[Double Salad]

I'm always reminded of Dave Chapelle and this interview.

Oprah's laughing but her eyes aren't.

Louie does what he's told.

[JohnyBoi95]

What the fuck was even the point of that?

What was I supposed to learn?

[aeroektar]

Louie plays about the most pathetic version of a man possible, a man that's been crushed by society, that's one of the things about the show I find entertaining, watching him fuck up and stumble through life. Its a solid portrayal of men today. I also just enjoy the comedic value, and his willingness to put some outside the box shit on a major network, like that scene where hes in a dream and he cleans that puddle off the subway seat and everyone acknowledges what he did and high fives him and shit.

I had a conversation with a guy about that show, I said yeah I like that show, he said he didn't like it because it reminded him that his own life sucks.

I love Chappelle. I really wonder what happened to him when he had a realization and stopped doing his standup. I wonder how much the current hollywood situation had an influence on that.

Jim Jefferies is legit as fuck. Tried to find a clip of 50's dad, but couldn't find one. Spewin'.

Louis CK is one of the funniest men of all time, his show is great, and it's really cool he does everything from directing to editing for it.

[Vaun]

The show is funny because its a show, a fictional portrayal of a guy trying to live a decent life in his current situation. It jumps the shark when it weaves in white knighting ulterior political motives into the script, e.g. the fat girl. Bear in mind though, Louie is nothing like this in real life. Even though he is divorced with kids, he is pretty much the opposite guy. He's a guy many of us would attain to be. Maybe this is his way of trying to stay humble in spite of all of his success.

[WesternCancer]

Just watched this episode and I'm not understanding the hate towards it it was a great episode. I think the people put off by this are taking the plot at face value and not understanding why something like this would be put on tv because they dont agree with it. Similar to the 'rape' scene controversy in last week's game of thrones.

Louie is a comedy, many times situational, but lately its begun to take a more philosophical route.

Like others have said the character of Louie is the quintessential beat down beta man who like every one else is trying to figure life out while avoiding any problems.

Louie is at the bus stop and sees a girl beating on a man. Louie tells the girl to back off because he knows that abuse is not right in any case. She becomes irate and starts beating on him. He knows he is capable of fighting back and stomping this chick out but looks around for onlookers before he gives a pathetic jab and gives up.

This is the beginning of his emasculation; a theme that has been touched on throughout the season. Throughout the season Louie has been emasculated: cunty lesbians scowling at his presence when he tries to get more involved in his kids life, he fucks the surrogate and again is beat down verbally for having sexual desires. He tries to form a relationship with his masculine fuck buddy and gets shot down: his desires don't matter. Next episode a cunty young shop owner refuses to sell him expensive merchandise because she doesn't believe he is worthy of it. She prides herself on being 24 and owning her own shop in a good neighborhood. Louie is just a middle aged while guy aka the scum of the earth. Enter another middle aged white guy in his sisters ex husband or whatever. He's the overcompensating cop. Loses his gun and has a meltdown because he is nothing in this world, his life doesn't matter. Louie helps his fellow man because he can relate.

Cut to this episode. His daughters and fuck buddy laugh in his face for getting beat up by a woman. He has no masculinity left: this is symbolically shown through his fuck buddy doing the role reversal pegging. He gets fucked in the ass because he thinks it will give him a chance romantically with the FB but once he gets fucked he realizes it is not who he is.

After, still with the makeup, still entirely emasculated, he grovels for her committment. She says no. Cut to his brother laughing in his face once again.

To me if you take this episode and look at the rest of the season its ugly yes, but the bitter irony is that weak men are worthless and everyone knows it.

[Captainstabbin]

I tried watching his standup and didn't laugh once - same for his SNL appearances. Passed on his show.

[Eskhander]

If you google "cuck" I am pretty sure you will get images of Louis CK.
I found his comedy pretty blue pill.

I should not use that term since it is self congratulatory but it's appropriate in this case.

[atlant]

Are people here seriously unable to separate portrayal from endorsement?

Or put it this way, do movies about serial killers automatically advocate murder too?

Louie works precisely because of how obviously pathetic and pitiable the character is.
