Yeah my girlfriend caught it right away. It's really obvious too. It goes right over his head. Wonder why they didn't reshoot it?

'Cause most people don't give a shit and neither does Louis, probably. A few episodes ago there was the really obvious green jacket error as well.Stumpokapow said:
I was a little disappointed that the host of the Fox News show that Louie was on(the actual host of Red Eye on Fox News) wasn't written more like his real self. Even though he's on Fox News, he's actually pretty funny most of the time on that show. It seems a little weird that they would get that guy, and just have him play it straight. Although it wouldn't surprise me if he was the only person from that entire network that would return the calls.
I'm really starting to love this show though.

Ep. 2 (or ep. 9) made me realize that he'll end up directing full length movies eventually. I even imagined his first movie, a tragicomedy somewhere between Woody Allen and (the early) Kevin Smith.
/also liked both eps, obviously.

I liked both episodes but neither blew me away like some previous ones. Season 2 seems to be a bit weaker for me overall. I'm glad someone has the balls to make sad tv shows, it's really refreshing. Feels like many of the episodes could be from some other TV show if you removed the final act. "Come on, God" could be straight from Californication if
and I'm so happy these episodes never end that way. BTW, I like the tragic/awkward parts more often that the stand-up.
Louie did her in the end

In which, if Louis has his way, Pootie solemnly contemplates the value of companionship, the passage of time and the meaning of existence in an indifferent Universe.paranoidfortean said:

Both episodes were great.
"Come On, God" is neck and neck with "Palestinian Chicken" in the contest for funniest television episode of the summer (maybe even the entire calendar year).

Both great eps, but the conversation outside the car to end the 2nd one.....SO well done. The writing, and that camera placement. This show is something else.

The second episode blew me away. This is truly a rare gem of a show. I applaud Louie (and to an extent, FX) for bringing something refreshing and original to TV.

I was just browsing his IMDb page and it caught my eye that he's been personally nominated for no less than five awards at the upcoming Emmys... Astonishing, but so deserved.

But they would never invite him up to their suite let alone talk to him in their underwear with their legs showing, etc.
The only thing I'll concede is the voice but it still was stylized for comedic effect.

Eddie ep was pretty brilliant.
Funny and profound is what this season has been.

A fantastic duo of episodes. It's stunning how the show can go from funny to somber in an instant.

Uhhhhh, great episodes, but Eddie was something else. It's powerful and hits close to home, especially since you can relate to either Eddie or Louis.
The writing of this show was at its best during the last exchange. Everything felt so real; the lines, the pauses, the interjections, the acting. They're far from perfect, they can be goofy, awkward, sometimes like a part of a blooper and I'm waiting for everyone to burst out laughing, but they keep on going, making it even more realistic. This weird dynamic just works.
I cannot express enough how I love this show.

Wow after seeing all of Season 1 and this seasons eps, that is the first time I noticed the guy giving the camera the finger.

For me he's already been there for a while. There's certainly no standup who makes me laugh harder.Amir0x said:

That's why the word cementing is there - in my opinion, he's been there too. But I think with a show like this, his reputation and abilities has hardened to the point where it's nigh-on indisputable.
He just has a profoundly mature understanding of human nature and the hilarious idiosyncrasies that make us different without necessarily demonizing those differences. It's an amazing quality, especially because Louie C.K. is always so bitter and miserable.

That "Come on God" episode was fucking great.
That elevator chick was hot. I would of gladly stuffed a bag full of dicks in her.

Someone from MASH? I saw a courtesy acknowledging a picture from MASH in the credits.brianjones said:
I just finished catching up on both episodes. I thought both were absolutely fantastic and managed to do it in their own, incredibly unique ways. Doug Stanhope was amazing, I knew he would be funny but his powerful acting was unexpected.

It was Major Margaret J. "Hot Lips" Houlihan played by Loretta Swit.

I wondered this as well.Spire said:
And I wonder how much of it was based on Doug Standhope himself. He is quite the bitter alcoholic childless old comic himself. However, he is much more successful than the guy living out of his car in that episode. And hopefully not as suicidal.
That episode hit me hard.
