I agree with broth here. Louie just doesn't make me laugh, and his style of depressing ******* humor irritates the **** out of me.

But I am aware I am in the minority on this one.

Stop watching Jeff Dunham specials, and realize he's the best comedian working today.

Louis CK could very possibly be the best comedian out there. But Louie is not the best show out there.

Did I miss this but who made that claim?

[Brodeur]

It's easily a top five show going right now.

I don't find him funny either and you know that. Accept that people can be turned off by his style of humor. And for the record I haven't seen much of his standup stuff.

I can get on board with that.

Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Thrones
Parks
Louie

[Jvig43]

Also trying to rewatch Louie for the third time just to please Brodeur and this opening of him crying about kids not being able to open up milk is the least funny thing I have seen. I didn't smile once, no **** kids can't open milk, kids can't do a lot of ******* easy things.

this past week of Louie was ******* hilarious. Most guys have encountered that situation.

Nobody? Just saying his show is not as good as his stand up. Turd.

Seems about right, although I'd probably slot Louie third and Breaking Bad first.

I honestly don't remember that episode, but I doubt I had a meltdown about it like you.

If you want to see a meltdown go read my posts in TWD thread. Or better yet, read your posts everytime someone comes along and says they don't enjoy Louis CK.

I am watching all of season 1 of Man Up currently. It is actually pretty damn funny. I was watching Psych but got kind of burnt out at about episode 6 of season 2 so I will probably go back to that after Man Up.

This season of Breaking Bad is going to be so bitter sweet. I am kind of glad they broke the season into two because it is going to really suck when the show is over. Very interested to see what Vince Gilligan does next.

I find Louie thoroughly entertaining, but his last episode pissed me off. JUST SAY YOU ARE NOT ******* RUDY COOL

Haha, I loved the last episode. Even if he had said that I am not sure the dude would have believed it. I loved the moment were he just accepted it and moved on.

[vidae]

I thought the last episode of Louie might have been one of the strongest of the series. I really liked it.

Supernatural at Comic Con. Misha Collins is greatness

Supernatural at Comic Con
Panel coming out. Jeremy Carver, Mark Sheppard, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki (Jensen cheering for Jared like a fangirl) , Misha Collins, Jim Beaver, Ben Edlund

The Theme of this season is Raiders of the lost Ark

Jeremy tries to explain: “I can’t go into it too much but suffice to say that in a lot of season’s past the boys have been reacting to something, but this year, they’re staring on offense.” He says theyre chasing “something near and dear to their hearts.”

Ben elaborate: They are on a “chase for a power source that we’ve already seen hints of.”

Gabriel and Chuck -- Dick Speight and Rob Benedict are in the audience. Collins says they're happy to give free hugs and autographs to everyone. Speight emailed Ackles last week saying he hoped Ackles was campaigning to bring Gabriel back. "I would love to have them back, I hope there's a way to make that happen," Padalecki says. Jim Beaver says Jeffrey Dean Morgan wanted to sneak in and ask a question but had to catch a plane.

Ben says Dean’s return from Purgatory will happen fairly quickly and what happened in there and how he was “pushed to the limits” will be a “story they track for a while.”

Ackles: We don't know much yet because it's going to be revealed over the season -- I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.

Collins: I could add something about the storyline but I don't know anything.

Edlund: You go into Purgatory, there's a whole body of events that go on there -- a whole subterranean storyline. it happens in the past but affects the future. They're going to meet some badasses down there. Carver: Purgatory makes strange bedfellows.

Collins: So we're going to be sleeping with a lot of people in Purgatory?

This season we will have one over-arching mythlogy that will hopefull carry on for many, many years.

Fan says Jensen inspired her to go into acting, and Misha jokes that her thinking was “if he can do it, anyone

I'm in the same camp as you. While I respect the hell out of him for what he does and how long he's been able to maintain success, albeit underground, for so long, I just don't like his humor. It doesn't strike a chord with me nor does it entertain me or humor me.

I saw the name Misha and thought that would be a girl. That google search turned out a bit disappointing.

I still fapped.

[eaglesalltheway]

Broth, Jvig, you are not alone. I too don't find Louis CK all that funny. He has his moments, but I just don't find so much awkward/depressing stuff funny. I've tried watching Louie and it usually ends in me feeling bad for the characters in the show and that is it. Perhaps the misfortune/awkwardness of others is just something I do not find funny.

Misha is way hotter than any weak ass chick.

I was dying throughout that whole exchange. I... I,I,I... no! haha

[Cigaro]

I can find Louis CK extremely funny at times and am in general a fan of his, but his constant jokes about how he's a disgusting, pathetic old white guy can wear on me.
