He has never gotten the admiration he has deserved as a stand up comic. He could really command an audience with his knack for storytelling and painting vivid, hilarious images of scenarios we all can relate to. He did it better than most. I'll always consider him one of the unsung masters of stand up.
He's considered a comedic legend.. What are you talking about.. Just because it was back in the day doesn't mean he didn't get respect at one time and still did from people who knew him.. It's what happens as generations come and go.
Yes he did he was huge.. He had multiple TV shows, sold out arenas for HBO specials.. Won awards.. Just because he got old and did less doesn't mean he didn't have fans and admiration.. Just because he was popular before your time doesn't mean you can go around saying that diminishing his achievements.
@@Dunz0Washington He was not "popular before my time." I'm 61. I live in Minneapolis. I was a fan when his career first took off. Which started in Minneapolis. Also, your reply makes no sense to me. I was not diminishing his achievements. No idea where you got that impression.
Well, he may have never made the A-List, but he was able to keep work and make people laugh all the way through his life. I think it's a career that he should've been proud of, and 99.9% of the people who set out be entertainers would love to have had. R.I.P.
He absolutely did get admiration and fame right up to his dying day he was being revered. He did so many things in his lifetime and all he had was 3 goals for himself and surpassed them all!
Watching this again after so many years I am realizing all the little bits, voices, and expressions my sister and I adopted from Louie's comedy. We grew up on his stories, learned to laugh hysterically from him. Thank you Louie may you be a t peace!
I still enjoy remembering laughing with my friends when we were very very very young... Little phrases... A good comedian is fantastic therapy and a great way to spend time with people.
This is my favorite stand-up comedy routine of all time! I remember watching it with my mom when I was a kid; she had taped it on VHS and we watched it dozens of times. For decades, Louie's jokes were running jokes in our family. Like, "Cindy, I'm swamped!" any time we were slightly inconvenienced. And "LIFE... Live it" among sooo many others. My mom bought his book of letters to his father. I read it as a teenager and cried. Louie Anderson was one of a kind. God bless him. I'll miss him. ❤
Oh Louie, I found out you went home. I couldn't believe it.God Bless you.You were my Favorite comedian, you made me laugh so hard and cry at the same time. God you were So Funny. I'm going to miss you. Loved your books and Life with Louie tv show. Thank- you Louie for making me and millions of others laugh. Laughter is the Best medicine and you sure knew how to give it. Thank- you
Comedic Genius! Very few people can bring the terrors, and utter blissful moments of life together, and still create hysterical laughter like Louie Anderson can. He can, because he makes it so relatable. His encore scene in this stand-up is total genius. I found myself laughing and crying at the same time. All the friends and family I have known in my life, who have been drunks, alcies, winos, came back to me. A tear dropped, a smile cracked. Thank you Louie. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
If a comedian can make you laugh without cussing and swearing (which is rare) You've got a talent. Louie is that guy. And a true gentleman. When I was younger I used to work on Crescent Heights and Sunset in Hollywood at a pizza restaurant delivering pizzas. And Louie would call in. And I would make my delivery to his place. Every time he gave me a great tip, and was a gentleman. I'll never forget that. It seems like the people who were brought into money were the assholes....And the ones who struggled and made it big were always the generous ones. Thank you Louie
May you rest in laughter Louie. This is the first comedy routine I seen as a young child. My father showed me. Today still a stand up fanatic. Hate that you are gone. But will love that you were part of my life for ever. May you rest in laughter :)
It's 2020 and I'm reliving my childhood watching this with my parents. Our whole family has quoted lines from this for over 30 years. I love that we live in an age when you can find ANYTHING on UA-cam.
SAME! I thought we were the only ones?! Some favorites that my family repeated for decades: "Should I try it? Should I start it? Should I try it?“ "Look, there's his paw!... That's enough."
My therapist recommended I watch him and I can see why. I needed the laughter and my therapist said he grew up with an alcoholic and abusive father and Louie used his comedy to deal with it that's why my therapist wanted me to watch him because of how I grew up
I remember so well seeing this on HBO back in the 80s, it’s still hilarious. He was so funny. Found out this morning he just passed away at 68. Poor Louie. I hope he’s in Heaven right now driving that Bonneville.
I recorded this on my VCR when it was on HBO 33 years ago. I would often play it for guests and we would all laugh our heads off. RIP Louie. Thanks for all the laughs!
I've never heard any of Mr Anderson's work, but I am now a diehard fan. I didn't think there was a comedian alive who could serve up wonderfully funny comedy without a single curse word and/or violence.....I am absolutely impressed! Thanks Louie!
Lol😂🤣Love this guy. Awesome stand-up 👍😂 My mom put his old 90's cartoons "Life with Louie" on for me when I was toddler 😁 She too loves Louie Anderson❤
I'm really gonna miss this guy. One of the funniest human beings EVER. Rest In Peace Louie. Thank you so much for all of the times that you made me forget everything, and just LAUGH. You were the BEST man.❤
Love Louie.. a rowdy/noisy audience doesn't throw him. At. All. Steamrolls right on with his material and ends up with the whole room being there with him 'till the last second of his set. Seen this so many times; never fails to crack me up. A true master of the art of stand up.
April (Easter) 2020 .. who else is watching too .. coronavirus = Forced vid/tv surfing .. decades later louie is still Hilarious .. ! 5 stars easy .. !!
Louie killed this night. I saw him in person a couple years before this at a comedy contest. My stomach hurt from laughing. He is a natural comic. A master of his trade....
Yep, it was kind of daring for Louie to do this long routine for an encore, as it's more an actor's monologue than a series of jokes. He pulls it off and the audience stays with him- love the "If I had a minute for every dime I did it I'd be happy!" line in particular.
Louie really was a riot.. Look at how he had that crowd going.. Rest easy Mr Louie Anderson. One of the comedic greats..Louie,Don Rickles and Richard Pryor. Three of the best comedians in history.
Louie is from East St. Paul. He was childhood friends with my step dad. My Mom and him went to go see Louie preform at a Casino, and right after he noticed my step dad and said " Hey John hows it going? We should get the neiborhood guys together get a hold of me" It's rare when someone makes it that they stay the same like that. Only Louie and Sinbad can pull off clean comedy at this level
Louie is one of the best , I love the way he takes real life and puts it together, as only he can to make it so real to life ,LOUIE IS AT THE TOP , AND IM SO GREATFUL THAT I HAVE LIVED IN HIS TIME,TO SEE HIM AND APPRECIATE HIS TALENT. GOD BLESS YOU LOUIE.
I remember this when I was in high school! All my friends were watching Chris Rock and I was watching Louie Anderson! I'll miss you Louie Anderson and thanks for the laughs in high school!
I was so sad yesterday. Spent the day watching his videos and interviews. I feel blessed to have seen him in Vegas. He did alot for other people. He had an amazing career. Very humble very kind hearted. Such a great story teller! We'll miss you Louie Anderson. Thank you for making us laugh making a dinner our lives.
I was lucky enough to watch this when it was first aired years ago, I have watched it several times since and it makes me roll on the floor laughing so hard still, we were so blessed to have this wonderful comedian in our life that's how I feel. 👍😉😂🤣
This is how you COMIC!!! I'm from Gen X. Say Louie on Tonight Show / w Johnny Carson. Followed whole career. Comedy is such a noble profession. It takes on many forms and is MUCH harder to do than drama. We had Louie for our lifetime. He LIVES in eternity!
I love Louie Anderson🥰 I’m so happy I found this on YT. My mom has been gone 2 yrs and this brought back a really good memory of when my mom and I first saw this back when I was 14/15 yrs old and we laughed so hard through the entire thing! ♥️♥️
Same here, brought back so many memories of the laughs my former wife and I had watching this and all the lines we used to quote from it when it fit our real life situation
I love how when someone would try and heckle him or put “their” 2 cents into the bit he just kept on going with the joke and it would kill and would just totally ignore the jerk.
I dare say that Louie was the funniest man alive and if we EVER needed a good belly laugh, NOW would be the time! He was SUCH a natural, and SO at ease, like he was just talking to someone on the sidewalk. I could just imagine him as a kid, with that whiny voice and the way kids act and walk when they don't get their way about something! And, that Face!!! I just wanted to kiss him on the cheek and give him a big hug! 🤗 He was an eternal child. How I loved that man! 🥰
One of the true comedic geniuses that is still living to this day... Brilliant timing and flawless material.... My childhood.... 1988 to 2018 and hoping there will be more to come
Just discovered that Louie Anderson was in both Ferris Bueller’s Day Off & Coming to America. Didn’t know he hosted Family Feud either.. I’m watching his standup comedy for the first time. He’s hilarious. ❤️all the comments about the positive impact Louie had on so many lives. Curious about his marriages though. First one was 4 months & the 2nd with his high school sweetheart was only 4 weeks (if you can believe the Internet).
The first time I've seen this was when I was in the hospital, and everytime that I went back I looked forward to watching this over and over. He had my dying throughout 😁😀😆😆😆😂🤣😄😅
This man has brought a lot of enjoyment to the masses! Thanks Louie!no Louie the way to end wars is make every human on earth smoke 3 joints every day! lol "I'm Alright...I Can Drive"!!!!
Louie Anderson was one of the greatest Comedians of all time! My thoughts and prayers go out to Louie’s friends especially the Anderson family during this difficult time. Rest In Peace Louie (1953-2022)
Grew up with Louie. Stand up, and Cartoon, everything. I was fortunate to find him performing his LAST show in Vegas the weekend i was there. I BEGGED my bf, who was deaf, to go. He had a horrible time because there wasn’t an interpreter last minute. lol Show was great!
Louie was one of the most underrated funnytellers. No matter how bad things got for us, my family could watch him and laugh hysterically together. Thankyou Louie, for a lifetime of showing the eternal hilarious truths of families and our crazy relationships. Glad you got to shine for a new generation too. It’s a sadder earth now, without you. You did your mom proud.
He has never gotten the admiration he has deserved as a stand up comic. He could really command an audience with his knack for storytelling and painting vivid, hilarious images of scenarios we all can relate to. He did it better than most. I'll always consider him one of the unsung masters of stand up.
Just found him and as far as some of the cleaner comedians he's one of my favorites
100% agree. We lost him today. RIP, funny funny man.
He's considered a comedic legend.. What are you talking about.. Just because it was back in the day doesn't mean he didn't get respect at one time and still did from people who knew him.. It's what happens as generations come and go.
Never gotten admiration??? What?? He's one of the biggest comedians ever!!
@@Cre80s and he was really famous too!
Saw him at Universal Amphitheater Hollywood CA 1988. Funniest show. I ever saw!
Oh, Louie. Found out he just died today. He was so great and, as others have said, did not get the admiration and fame he deserved.
Yes he did he was huge.. He had multiple TV shows, sold out arenas for HBO specials.. Won awards.. Just because he got old and did less doesn't mean he didn't have fans and admiration..
Just because he was popular before your time doesn't mean you can go around saying that diminishing his achievements.
@@Dunz0Washington He was not "popular before my time." I'm 61. I live in Minneapolis. I was a fan when his career first took off. Which started in Minneapolis.
Also, your reply makes no sense to me. I was not diminishing his achievements. No idea where you got that impression.
My favorite comedian talk about get on the plane and eat peanuts 🥜
Well, he may have never made the A-List, but he was able to keep work and make people laugh all the way through his life.
I think it's a career that he should've been proud of, and 99.9% of the people who set out be entertainers would love to have had. R.I.P.

To this day I will utter a disgusted "Aw, Christ" that I've been doing for many years and definitely picked up from Louie.
Yes! ❤
I still enjoy remembering laughing with my friends when we were very very very young... Little phrases... A good comedian is fantastic therapy and a great way to spend time with people.
“Cindy, I’m swamped” echoed through our household for decades!
Rest in Peace, Louie. Yet another part of so many of our childhoods, gone. At least he is free from the clutches of cancer now. So sad :(
💔this one really hurts. Love him.
@@caroled3943 yep , him and John Candy were just so likeable aside from being funny
Life with louie on fox kids club
Been watching him for the last couple days and I love it.........but I feel so sad at the same time.
Was the coc vax
This is ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE FUNNIEST COMEDY ROUTINES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO LOUIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my favorite stand-up comedy routine of all time! I remember watching it with my mom when I was a kid; she had taped it on VHS and we watched it dozens of times.

I cried my eyes out when he passed. Felt like a distant funny uncle left too soon. I'm glad you and your mom shared those memories.
Over 30 years later and his material still holds up. RIP Legend

This was the first show I ever saw him in. Always been a favorite. You will be missed.
Comedic Genius!
Very few people can bring the terrors, and utter blissful moments of life together, and still create hysterical laughter like Louie Anderson can. He can, because he makes it so relatable.
His encore scene in this stand-up is total genius. I found myself laughing and crying at the same time.

I love his interviews. His books are superb. A kind man with a lot of class. ❤️
whats the point of excluding the funny words?
Agreed, I don't like hearing cuss words every 5 seconds.
My friend in AZ used to cut his hair, she said he was hysterical and tipped great.
Love to hear comedy without the foul language or political comments. Don't get much of that these days.
You’re definitely going to be missed, Mr. Anderson. 🙏🏼😔🙏🏼
Agent Smith?
First comedian to ever have me in stitches when I was a kid. I actually "got it" with his act.. RIP
Me too. Black girl raised in the south. This man is hilarious!! I remember this HBO special as a child. 😁😅
louie as his dad always gets me. #lifewithlouie
Was a huge fan of life with louie
On Saturday mornings
This was my favorite special as a teen along with carlin and denis miller
Louie is a master storyteller. His facial expressions, changes in his voice cadence and intonation and his easy showmanship are all superb!
Fine line between "storyteller" and real life experiences gomer.
@@jonconnor2965 What?!😡. Hateful
@@shananalexander9789 Real. Dummy.
Louie takes me back. I wish I could go back
@@jonconnor2965 are you trying to be smart using the word gomer?..you should just stop trying to publicize your doltiness
May you rest in laughter Louie. This is the first comedy routine I seen as a young child. My father showed me. Today still a stand up fanatic. Hate that you are gone. But will love that you were part of my life for ever. May you rest in laughter :)
I bet he has everyone in Heaven in stitches! 🌜☀🌞⭐🌟
Yes he's an awesome comic.
I hated when he passed away😥
He's SOOO FUNNY!! 😂🤣
LOVED HIS STAND UP!..
WATCHED HIM FOR YRS!! 🙏🏼

Sinbad too
The master of the internal dialogue in every day situations. He should have been in dozens of movies. He has that perfect midwestern ironic brogue.
His best routine. RIP my friend, thank you for all the wonderful memories.
I literally remember this when it first aired. "it was only a nickle more" is still a great moment
I love that he is still hilarious, 32 years later, and it still is completely relevant.

William St.Marie Jr. I saw in vegas a few years after that. So funny!'
Jim Gaffagin must admire him. Some of the same type of lines in his routine. I love Louie Anderson.
Couldn't agree more, William !
Louie is comedy royalty. Very few in the history of comedy like him. "Child like" genius mentality.

RIP Louie truly a clean and hilarious man!
His rendition of a drunk is incredible! It took a bunch of observation for him to get it so correct! Thank you Louie!

He’s one of the most widely respected comedians and I love him for that. His audiences love him.
I'm surprised how quick-witted Louie is. Funny stuff right off the cuff.
Before internet and all of the other bullshit that turned people into mindless zombies without personalities.

As a kid i watched the cartoon life with louie and now as an adult I realize how hilarious of a comedian he was
The first time I've seen this was when I was in the hospital, and everytime that I went back I looked forward to watching this over and over. He had my dying throughout 😁😀😆😆😆😂🤣😄😅
A masterful performer as well as keen observer and interpreter of human behavior through the lens of comedy. Pure gold.
Good comics are observant …makes their stories relatable
A person who didn’t rely on social media, race, or pop culture. Loved Life With Louie and I’m sad that I’m just now watching his stand up.
I've loved Louie right from the first time I saw him in Canada. Just booked tickets to see him here in Daytona Beach on January 10th.
That is the most 80s intro I've ever seen... and I love Louie Anderson. 🙏
I remember watching this as a kid. Still cracks me up to this day.
This is an amazing set. The way he walks all over on the background pieces, this man was stand up.
Louie's pot luck dinner is my parent's house at Thanksgiving... priceless! 👍
This is a great special. I watched this on VHS as a little kid, it's what got me into comedians and stand up comedy.

I liked Louie. I almost forgot all about him. He was entertaining.
I love this guy.good clean comedy..this was my favorite as a kid..his dad impression was great....

9:50 was my favorite Louie bit. "We're eating now." I still use that one when I need the kids to come to the table. R.I.P.
I never laughed harder at any other comedian than Louie, especially when he furrowed his brow and started yelling.
Grew up with Louie. Stand up, and Cartoon, everything. I was fortunate to find him performing his LAST show in Vegas the weekend i was there. I BEGGED my bf, who was deaf, to go. He had a horrible time because there wasn’t an interpreter last minute. lol Show was great!
thanks for making me laugh all night. effin love you man.
Rest in peace Louie.. thanks for the laughs.. You were a great storyteller. I'll miss you❤
After thirty years I'm finally seeing the brilliance of this man.
Louie was one of the most underrated funnytellers. No matter how bad things got for us, my family could watch him and laugh hysterically together. Thankyou Louie, for a lifetime of showing the eternal hilarious truths of families and our crazy relationships. Glad you got to shine for a new generation too. It’s a sadder earth now, without you. You did your mom proud.
Rest in peace legend!! thank you for my beautiful childhood💔💔!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Louis Anderson! I was able to see him in person for NYE '97 in Minneapolis. Everything I could hope & then some! The very best!
I remember watching him as a kid in the 80’s..he was so funny!! Lost a living legend today.
