Louis C.K.

Picture 1Louis C.K. is a comedian and to be honest I’m only familiar with him from Conan but both times I’ve seen him he’s been really funny.  I can’t embed the clip here.  It’s “not permitted.”  Suck.  But I’m leaving you guys a link that I sincerely hope you follow. Lois C.K. on Youtube.

In this clip, which I hope you watched Lois is talking about the way we react to technology that is really helping us but we’re too caught up in ourselves to notice the beauty of it.  All I know is every time I’m out of the house and I’m waiting in line or waiting for my kid to get out of school or at the dentist or whatever I want internet connection.  It is not an option for me actually read a magazine or just sit and wait.  Gosh darnit if I can’t use facebook or Google Reader I get royally pissed off.  How ridiculous is that.  I feel so entitled to internet access that it more often than not puts me in a bad mood.  Heaven forbid I bring a book with me.

And when I do get internet access if it’s not screaming fast it’s like an affront to me personally.  I can’t believe I have to wait one minute for facebook to load.  One minute when I could have been checking profiles or changing my status.  How hilarious is it when Loius says “It’s going to space!”  Hilarious.  I don’t care how far my signal has to travel as long as it comes back so fast I don’t even realize it’s gone.  Not any more though now I think about Lois’s sketch and crack up.

If you haven’t checked it out yet please do.  It’s great.

I also noticed he’s going to be in a movie coming up called The Invention of Lying which looks so funny.  Especially since it’s got Ricky Gervais from Britain’s The Office.

So tell me have you guys known about Louis C.K. this whole time and no one ever told me?

I saw this episode and LOVED what he said… it is SO true! I frequently think, when I’m on an airplane, how in the heck is this thing even getting off the ground?! (And yet, I am in that group of people who also gets REALLY mad when I lose reception on my cell phone.)
My favorite of his lines… “Did you partake in the miracle of human flight, you non-contributing zero?!”
“Everyone should constantly be going “OMG, we’re flying!” “You’re sitting in a chair… in the sky!”

So great!! Thanks for posting this, Alisa! I forgot how much I loved it!

This is one of Ben’s favorite comedians, I’m surprised you’ve never heard of him. I must have heard his white people sketch a hundred times because my husband is always quoting it!
