I'm so glad Louis is back in action. This dude has some great ability to articulate human experience.
Louis CK said that America should open its borders so that immigrants could come here and ruin our way of life, shorten our life spans through murder, and destroy our country with crime!
He said it in THIS PODCAST!
if you haven’t watch his series louie and horace and pete
Is articulation is second only to his ejaculation
@@CJ16055 i love louis!
@@thecapricorn11 Me too bud but he is known for jacking off at this point
Joe with Louis is like, “I’m a comedian too” like a little kid. Love it.
"I put all my widdle index cards out across the table in the green room so I can remember."
"That's good, Joe!"

Wow , you need to work on yourself, he is trying to teach younger generations or anybody that can learn from these secrets he has, he is doing a service that people charge your for it and wouldn’t be even as good , you should be thankful and see how you can use these in your own work or ispired ,he doesn’t need to explain these to feel good he is already the goat lol
@@sohrabtinolol you’re definitely not cut out to be a comic. You gotta be able to laugh at yourself to be one ;)
Everything Louis describes is solid advice for any artist no matter what he creates.

@@konstantinjarkovinsightful counter. Illuminating
Amen to that!! 🙌
CK's process of writing jokes is what makes him stand out. I always wondered why he sounds more natural and unscripted when he tells jokes on stage and now I know. It's one of the main reasons why I like his stand up.
Yep, Bill Burr is the only other huge comic I know of who claims to have the same writing method. He says, and I'm paraphrasing of course, 'If something funny happened to me and I went to the bar to tell my friends, would I write the story out beforehand?'
The reason more comics don't write like that is because it's extremely tough without a script, you have to be genuinely willing to bomb. Not just, oh I'm bombing let me pick a joke that works to save the set. But actually being there, sitting in the bomb and thinking your way out of it.
@@julicoole Exactly! Bill Burr is another favorite of mine who also showcases that ability to tell jokes naturally quite well. Improvising his way out of a joke that isn't necessary landing with the audience is definitely his forte. I personally enjoy that. That's the true art of stand up in my opinion. Otherwise, if it is completely scripted, then might as well watch a sitcom instead.
@@julicoole Part of it is also Carlin. He wrote these intricate wordplays where he was playing with language. So much of his shows were about language. There's no way to come up with that in the moment. Before Carlin on really old black and white standup recordings of comedy clubs they'd walk up on stage with a small notebook piece of paper with a list of bullet points. They did it like CK did, back then there was no green room. They got up out of the crowd and did their bit, so small piece of paper to get them in the headspace and remind them of their bits. Then Carlin happened, big dense self referential pieces of dialog rattled off at a speed that made it seem he was desperate to get it out as fast as he could. He was a monster in the art of writing comedy and memorizing long stretches of ultra dense monologue. He warped the perception of what standup could and should be.
The more natural the delivery, the more unpredictable the placement of the punchline.
I can listen to Louis talk about his process all day. Its like a Masterclass
You can't do it though. It only works if you've got that talent
I honestly always forget Joe Rogan is a stand up comedian
You can't remember your favorite Joe Rogan joke?
I think he used to be a maintenance guy for a news radio station also.
He’s no good either way as a comedian
Joe's older stand up stuff (from like 20-25 years ago) is way better than the stuff he's put out since he started the podcast. His old stuff was pretty edgy but the newer stuff like his Netflix specials are just kind of surface level observational humor without much of any edge.
That’s the easiest way to deal with his stand up being corny and cringey.
Louis is among a very small set of the funniest people I’ve ever encountered - but on this podcast tour he’s doing, whats really got me stunned is how lucid he is. Everything he says is just incredibly self-aware and it feels like he’s got the keys to the castle and is trying to give them away for free to anyone who’s willing to be present and listen to what he’s got say. Truly epic, these interviews.
This is so true, he really sees beyond the apparent
Encountered?
You met him?
@@youtubedj9298 Yes!!! What a fascinating and great conversationalist! (Is what I would say if the answer wasn’t a tragic no with ample groaning.)
Following the process from nothing to special would be a doc I'd watch, want to see it bomb till it being successful...
I'm assuming you've watched the doc Jerry Seinfeld: Comedian
Yes, that would be quite interesting!
I posted almost the same comment before seeing this. I would pay a lot to see the whole process
@Gray Bennett I've not seen that, is it worth a watch for seeing his process?
@@soulsilverarlooker does that documentary show a Jerry Seinfeld act transforming into something funny?
It’s always a much better show when Joe is a super fan of the guests. He flows a lot better .
Louis has something about how he talks and tells stories that you want to hear him all day
The fact that he’s essentially acting as a consultant for free is mind boggling. Louis CK is likely #1 on most standup comedy enthusiasts and he’s just spewing this info like it’s not worth stupid money 😂
That's because Louie wants other comedians to succeed. He's humble and supportive as a fellow comedian like that.
Jesus that process is ballsy
Interesting. Marshall McLuhan apparently said he often didn't know what he was talking about until he spoke it out loud to an audience or someone at a talk or lecture. The way Luis described how he works out his jokes reminded me of that.
Mr. Louis Ck is a LIVING LEGEND PERIOD.
As a newly aspiring comedian who just decided to head down this road at 40 years old with a 40% likelihood it's a midlife crisis and hasn't actually stood up or written any jokes yet, this is a wonderful insight.
I'm with you on this ride, brother!
L F GGGGGGGG
Good luck fellas
You could be a big name one day, never know!
Norm Macdonald did it the same way. He said something like The road to the punchline should never be exactly the same.
I loved Louie talking about computers.
I love listening to comedians talking about their craft.
The really good ones, anyway. Like CK.
I'm a computer guy, and his description of warming up a cache is right on.
I love the way Louis got in there first with the going to the jym analogy before Joe.
It's the best way to get Joe to connect with what you're talking about. Notice he threw in some stuff about lions and cows too.
@@deucepickle2091 I know ya 😄
Not sure he connected with Joe when he said " you don't go to the gym to gave a good time " pretty sure Joe enjoys going to the gym...a lot!
Louie is The Beatles of stand up. His versatility of subject matter is all over the place, but always original and GREAT.
His "secret" is that he is good. Whereas most are definitely not good
Louis CK said that America should open its borders so that immigrants could come here and ruin our way of life, shorten our life spans through murder, and destroy our country with crime!
He said it in THIS PODCAST!
Disagree, he is a body builder of comedy. He is going through the pain of lifting weights to get it right
He's been doing it for 40 years and he's been good for like 10 of those
Wow! I'm a creative writer. Louis' approach raises my blood pressure and makes me sweat. Interesting approach. I think of funny things then immediately have to record it on my phone. I think, "That's so funny! I will never forget this bit about platypuses'!" Three hours later I try to write it down and I'm like "It was, umm? Something about Aardvarks?" It's gone!
Story of my life.
If I could record my thoughts as I have them, I'd have 40+ hours of comedy-world-shattering material by now.
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid or most likely so you think. Everybody and their mother thinks they're very funny. It's rarely the case.
@@orestispalampougioukis6043 Yeah, you're probably right. Everyone around me in all situations for the last 30 years are all wrong. You're probably right.
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid Yes, because people laughing with your jokes in social situations is exactly the same as creating and delivering world-shattering standup comedy material to a real audience. I forgot, it’s my bad…
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid There are voice recorders you can download on your phone, when you have a chance to talk, or I also use "list making app when you are around people and can't say "Two fat girls go into a bar..." I'm generally regarded as funny. I'm not trying to put together an HBO special, I just think, "That's really witty. Maybe I can work that in, next time we are just sitting around at work?"
i'm a junior lecturer and this was helpful.
A particular type of genius Louis is.
Thank you Yoda
Welcome you are, Mr. Cakes.@@dj_cakes
The man worked hard but he really knew how to take a load off
The godfather of comedy right now.
I cannot wait for Joe’s new set! I bet it’s gonna be hilarious
His understandind of how computer memory works is pretty neat 😊
That, my friends, is why Louis is the greatest living standup.
Louis CK said that America should open its borders so that immigrants could come here and ruin our way of life, shorten our life spans through murder, and destroy our country with crime!

Louis is fantastic and ground breaking. The greatest alive??? Maybe not. Key word is maybe. Check out some more people that are doing the same job and are also killing it.
@@Ditto4566 who do you recommend*?
@@Photik Chapelle. Burr. Gaffigan. Normand. All different styles. It's a little nuts to say anyone is the greatest alive. But for sure Chapelle gets talked about as being the goat. Also Carlin and Pryor could be considered among that group too. There's just too much great comedy. See and listen to as much as you can. 😃👍
@@olglory4648what it has to do with him being one of the greatest comedians alive?
And he never said what you just said. He said that he is up for opening the borders. But immigrants to ruin your life and destroy the country with crime??? You just made this shit up pal. He never said that. And immigrants were coming and still coming to this country for over a century. And most of them come here to work and have a better life. Most of the immigrants are hardworking people. And most of the crime in America is done… by Americans.
1:27 I am pretty sure I came across one of these sets on youtube. It was like 8 minutes of him just dying and me wondering what happened to him. New stuff he has done has been great so I have to imagine that was one of those sets.
I would pay a lot of money to get to see Louis do a bit from start to finish.. meaning see it the first time, second time etc until it's perfect.

@@olglory4648 and you agree with him?

I could be wrong but it’s probably mostly the same with a few different words being used or same words different times and points in the sentence said in a different way that’s what it’s like going to open mics every week they say the same thing with one word differences
@@SVTStrikesback somebody commented something then deleted it
For a stand up comedian, Joe sure spends a lot of time sitting down...
This is really fascinating to hear.
As a songwriter, I can definitely say that you never know which songs people are gonna like. All the ones I thought were the best get consistently overlooked and many that I considered throwaways end up being people's favorites.
your music on your page is pretty rad... keep it up bro x
Love this, more please.
Imagine getting on a stage with “zoo lions” on a piece of paper. 😅😢
This is why he’s so good
barely graduated HS, whips out the word agita on us...
Thanks.
He has a better vocabulary that closed captions and I was wondering what he said.
This is like watching Nina Drama interview a fighter.
louis ck is my favorite comedian
I never thought I would hear Louis explain what RAM is to Joe Rogan :))
This is actually what being a comic is like
I knew Louis CK was hilarious but its fascinating to hear his process of coming up with his material. He's a comedic genius.
he´s like the lil wayne of comedy.
I thought the same but with Jay Z!
He’s the Dr. Dre of comedy. Because he’s invested and he puts young comics on.
He’s the Dr. Dre.
Shane Gillis is his Eminem.
Louis's writing style -
I hook booster cables to my balls and then I counter the pain by cranking up the current
I toured Shakespeare for most of my working life and it is exactly the same as he describes it. You have to be in the moment.
I want to be at one of those shows to see the basic formation of a set.
I've seen a couple of comedians trying out new stuff on stage at the cellar. I'm from Italy where there are almost no comedy clubs and that experience was one of the best memories I have of my trip to Ny. And I also saw a heckler storming out of a set. Amazing
To anyone here who has done actual stand-up. 👏🙏🥰
I'm working up to try stand-up at some local open-mic nights. I think Louis is one of the greatest and when you hear his work-discipline, you understand why. 😯
What I'm asking is: for you're first sets do you think it's better to have all the jokes completely written out or do you think it's better to do as Louis says and just have the concept finished in your head so it feels less static and rehearsed. I've Dj:ed at quite a high level as a mash-up Dj and noticed when I had the whole night more or less completely planned that it felt static.
Any tips would be welcome. 🙏
The first time I did it I had some ideas, but they weren't really fleshed out. It went okay, but I had some friends in the audience who laugh at basically everything I say and they have big contagious laughs. The next time I tried it with them not in the audience and bombed, badly.
So my advice, write it all down. He can do what he does because he's done it for nearly 40 years.
i think the key is to do it. like every night. these great comedians (and even the bad ones (even though we still know their names)) try to get on stage as often as possible. as many times a night they can. then its all about just finding what works for you. lots of people write (normand, chris rock) and are funny, lots of people dont (louis etc) and are funny. the common denominator is they all go up on stage a ton.
Just do it man,you’ll find your voice
how did it go?
@@mrfrisk007 It went alright:ish the first two times because the audience was kind.
The third was a reality-check. A mild one that it's a skill. Have other stuff going on at the moment but I do believe that I'd be better for it if I continued no matter how the audience reats.
Well it helps to be when the best comedy writers ever and a pretty amazing writer in general 😎
Also helps when you don't just whip it out in
Louis CK said that America should open its borders so that immigrants could come here and ruin our way of life, shorten our life spans through murder, and destroy our country with crime!

@@olglory4648 sometimes people say stupid things out loud. Donald Trump once said Ivanka has the best figured and perhaps if he weren't married they would be dating. Not because their father and daughter. It's because he's already married. Also there are not nearly enough abortions happening. Not every human life is important. About 20% of the population is useless sacks of shit who are wasting oxygen
Joe please take notes! I've never heard a memorable Rogan joke! Louis is a fucking killer on that stage. Comedy god!
Stand up is one of the only arts where the creative process is as much a part if the work as the presented final form is. It's like if you could WATCH a novelist brainstorm and draft WHILE reading the novel.
In other words: be okay with being bad so you can get good
LCK is a genius. He might not look like a genius, he might not act like a genius, but he’s a genius. He got too loose with his sexuality and they murdered him for it. But he’s back and he’s still the lucid mind we all remember. I hate that it took some years off him, he clearly looks like a person who has been through the wringer, but what are you going to do? He was culturally in the wrong place at the wrong time. I wonder if any of those women look back and think “yeah, I kind of lost my shit and fed into the whole me-too thing when I should have just said “no man, I’m not into that, keep it in your pants”…
Joe coming from a broken home makes so much sense
Can someone tell me what is Louis's watch? It's gorgeous.
I'd like to see one of the early joke trial sessions. Sounds very interesting.
Look up on youtube: louis ck leaked set. That is such a set where he was just testing out some new material (and he got absolutely flamed for it in the media)
Master of his craft
He is KING!!
He is such a smart dude. It is not surprising how successful he has been.
I think the year was 2016 maybe 2017. Louis CK performed in San Francisco. I was second or third row center. I passed out for his entire set. The embarrassment, regret and disappointment I feel to this day. If he performs there again, I’m ready for it! Sobered up 7/16/2018.
Oof
Congratulations on the 4.5 years. Hope you're doing well.
All people who made a difference always say it is about 1% talent and 99% work.
And a fukkload of luck
He’s a genius he’s explaining how brilliant he is is such great prowess
It doesn't sound like there are any secrets. It's just good hard work

Aaaah. A new topic
😂 sounds like some people don't need highschool...

Louis: really? Hmm...keeps the convo moving
Louis should do a set on computer programming. 😆

@@olglory4648 lol stfu no one cares about that. I'm guessing Joe brought up the subject because that's what he does is brings up politics all the time in casual conversation unwarranted. 😂
For humans it’s short term vs long term memory. There’s no need to make a computer analogy.
“Be really fucking good at comedy”
This is why we still need to have trust in each other as human beings, or else nothing will come of it
I don’t what it I see the majority of people love him but I watched one of his specials and he’s ok to be kind.
Louis is thorough
Louis CK is the Jay Z of stand up
I watched the MSG special live online last night. It was sick.
I was at the show he’s one of the greats for sure .
It suvked
Usually hate when there's comedians on and they talk shop, same with MMA stuff. When there's a little black lady on or somethig like that you know it's gonna be good. That said, loved this convo.
Louie's method is to practice moves he's not used to against brutally honest feedback, acknowledge and cope with (assumed) discomfort, but always keep a mental ledger of what to adjust to make the next time more successful for him. Idk sounds like something Bruce Lee would do.
I respect his writing process
spoken word art... eek
Louis is an artist. His craft is comedy though
Louie is a Genius! 🙏✝️🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴
I love Joe Rogans comedy and also love how dudes in the comment section can’t help but keep telling us that they hate his. Almost like they’re trying to convince people that it’s bad. I’ve watched it it’s fine.
it's part of the Reddit crowd, they hate Joe for almost no reason.The reddit page is 100% an anti-Joe Rogan cult now and it's really sad to see... he's a decent comedian and a great podcaster/ interviewer... he's given a platform to so many people in long form.
@@DoubleDowner Exactly
I feel like I got $200 worth of comedy advice. I have a few friends who wjen I talk with them on the phone making them laugh I come up with my best ideas. Like my friend and I were talking about aliens. She said, "I think aliens would find us attractive." I was like, "No, I think they would be used to creatures like us having fur, so I think we'd look like mole rats to them." So, "Humans are the mole rats of the galaxy." I could work with that.
Honestly, who are they to forge the protocol for future comedians?
Genius
This guy is a genius
I don’t understand all the hate for Joe. He may not be the same level as Louis but he has done comedy for decades and he’s been successful. Idk why people are upset about him talking about this.
Because he is doing mostly very basic material in front of his fans, but thanks to his podcast, he is around masters of the craft and acts like he is one of them, and the "process of writing killer material" etc. - it seems a bit undeserved and pretentious. I remember dozens of Luis CK or Bill bits, but i can't remember a single joke from Rogan, i only remember that it was a lot about dicks, pussies and jizz? But hey, several arena comedians do "basic" stuff, not every audience appreciates "clever" comedy and it's easier (not easy) to appeal to the mainstream with simple stuff. But making stuff like child m*lestation funny for a mainstream audience is a completely different level of art.
@@vanivari359 I don’t think he’s being pretentious in any way, shape, or form. He’s simply talking about his experience as a comedian. You applied a whole bunch of nonsense to it based on how you feel about his comedy. If he act like he’s one of them it’s cause he’s friends with them. Joe would be the first to admit he’s not on the same level as Louis.
@@vanivari359 Why does everyone have to jump on this bandwagon as soon as they hear Rogan talk about comedy.
Everyone knows what level of comedian he is and whether you can remember one joke or not I am sure he has some descent material.
He cut his teeth like other comics and played clubs for years.
He was on those lists before the podcast
You talk like he is Amy Schumer or something just because he is not in the handful of living comics considered "genius" or "special".
@julian marx I don't think Schaub and Rogan are very comparable personally. Joes done a lot to earn his pay check. He's also got the most successful Podcast ever. I wouldn't say he's done NOTHING to earn his fame.
Who gives af about joes stand up skills. He used his platform that literally changed stand up and built careers for countless comics. He changed lives boosted careers. His impact increased the amount these folks get paid. The podcasts we all enjoy etc. He changed the game we all enjoy watching. Who else would’ve done it?? If they could’ve they would’ve. Ingrates.
It's amazing hearing the real Louis and not the stage Louis
Joe really needs to take notes from Louis.
How can he remember all that?
Thanks Louis, true genius!
Joe Rogan got a standing ovation? lol tf
I love Louis ck :)
When you need a learning curve just substitute it for a hobby.
Joe answering questions he wasn't asked
Exactly. His process is of no interest to anyone because it doesn’t yield memorable material. He sucks.
@@DonVal86 Yeah... I mean, he's a good entertainer, though. He's doing a good job with his podcast and the commentary stuff that he does sometimes. He's just not a good comedian, imho.
Brendan schaub is the king of hit specials
Some say the kingest
Joe is a comedian? Never thought...
That's pretty impressive how he seems to have the gist of what joke he is going to use but doesn't really flesh it out until he's in front of an audience.
That's impressive but weird as hell
