He got scrutinized like it wasn't consensual. Can you imagine if we criminalized everyone who has ever masturbated on or near someone that agreed to participate? Fuck the covid pandemic, we have a gold digging whore pandemic going on and its taking out comedic prophets like Louie CK
Charles Grodin's delivery here is so devastatingly beautiful. Where he chooses to pause, the way he relishes every word, the facial expressions and body language...perfect. I could watch this scene 50 times and find new nuggets of acting. What a treasure.
I love how Louie starts talking about his relationship problems out of nowhere here. He's so desperate for advice and so solitary that he's willing to talk to someone he has absolutely no intimacy with. It's a pitty Louie is cancelled now. I could easily watch this show for another 10 seasons. So poetic, so powerful.
Grodin's character is the movie cliche in which a wise person (usually an elderly man or woman but sometimes a child) disburses sage advise to the protagonist. The wise person always makes time for the protagonist. The character is also helpful for storytelling purposes because by having the protagonist reveal everything he's thinking he's also telling us the audience. Of course this is Louie so he has to turn the cliche on its head; the wise man doesn't care about Louie. He doesn't understand why Louie is talking to him, let alone why he's revealing personal details about his life. He's a reluctant guide who constantly reminds Louise that he's not the main character.
This skit is amazing. It shows how entitled we can be . We wanna have the best of everything. The analogy Dr Bigelow gave with the rare diseases meant that we are lucky to even have a normal pain-free life. The dog with three legs had a path and he went with it. Yes, four legs would make him happier, but who cares? Just live your life and be happy
@@tambetott626 I said had a path and “went” with it. Didn’t say he chose that path. He chose to continue past whatever happened that costed him his leg
I like the way Louie tried to capture the dr's interest by changing the subject everytime. Everytime he meets Dr Bigelow its a lesson for him, he views life from a different side
When you say he edited it is literal? Does he sit at the computer and do it or does he just direct someone else to do it? Sorry for my technical ignorance, it's a real question.

I often think about people who are in constant pain, or people like the doctor said who are born with a condition and their whole lives they know only pain. Actually makes me a bit grateful, especially on days when I think I have nothing to be happy about. Like the doc says: every day without back pain is a blessing.
So poetic and beautiful. When something makes you question your own mortality your own way of life that is art. Some people are the dog,others the doctor,and sometimes your Louie. Sometimes your louie
"I don't understand... I don't understand why I am hearing about this... wha.. what?" Me 30 seconds in into pretty much every conversation I ever had with anyone complaining about some shit :-D.
Whoever wrote this dialogue.... you are a certified genius. It shows human innnate narcissism and nihilism all in one quick exchange. Funky great writing.
I wonder how many people don't realize that this is Louis' real life inner dialogue. Both parts are him. What he thinks and then what he thinks about what he thinks. Whether you like him for his comedy or don't. Whether you dislike him for past bad decisions or don't care. You have to respect the depth of his philosophy on life even if you don't agree with it.
Love this scene and the doctor so much. Then I was thinking about where I recognized him from and it never came to until.....bam! Few weeks later and it finally hit me, Midnight Run with Robert DeNiro!!! Love that movie. And then of course I wiki his life and find out he passed last month...bit of an emotional rollercoaster ride but still interesting nonetheless. RIP Mr. Charles Grodin. You will be missed but immortalized in your wonderful roles :)
Yep! 1.) Some people do care about you. Treat them well and enjoy that gift. 2.) majority of people don’t care about you and what you do. They’ll forget about it in a week. The ones who do remember are miserable and don’t really care about you. 3.) make a decision and take action. That’s it. A lot of people who suck at things eventually get good simply by sticking to it and taking action everyday. 4.) enjoy the ride. It’s not easy because yea, sht sucks, but when it’s good. enjoy that slice of pizza, enjoy that 10 min of quiet time, enjoy that good song or good movie.
I was recently in the same situation as Louie and made the choice to split from the girl I was seeing because I feared the eventual loss that would come when we both went our separate ways for grad school. Looking back on it now, I still regret it to this day, and what Bigelow says here to louie is right, at least in my eyes. I keep getting bent up over it because I keep over thinking about what could be or what was. When at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. We will enjoy what we can the less we choose to look for things we're missing.
The “really good advice philosophically” Dr. Bigelow gave him when he was in his office was to walk on all fours to make his back stop hurting in about 20,000 years. 😅
I pubished this Louis CK piece here almost 7 years ago. This interaction is not unlike hundreds of conversations I have with people who are looking to answer their deeper questions about life, and what to be doing with theirs. when I first put ths up, I had no idea that it would be responded to with such enthusiasm, by so many people for so long. I'm glad it resonated with you all. Feel free to reach out to me here if you have any desire to make your life a demonstration of your own... Purpose, Passion, and Power!!
This show is an example of what can happen when you just let a guy do his thing, rather than interfering because you’re worried about money or offending irrational people.
Louis ..please come back...we need you making wonderful things like this again...99.9999% of the worlds population don't care about the "allegations" against you...
i dont know... that's only 7,800 people. in the US alone, there are around 100,000 reported rapes per year, so that's already a lot of people who would probably be on the fence. plus 1 for me too. i haven't been raped yet.

This advice is insanely good.
"Hey my back is much better. "

This show was one of the few comedies that actually taught me some dark lessons about the world that I think everyone should learn.
One of the reasons I've loved that show so much. I can't watch like 95% (and that's probably an overly optimistic estimate) of today's comedy shows.
Yep, and they go ahead and cancel a genius like Louis CK. Fuck this world...

And it's delivered perfectly.

That's pretty pessimistic to live by those words smh
Ever heard of the movie 'A Bronx Tale'?
Til you do something. Then they get pissed and ruin your peace.

thats a very interesting observation, is this from something you read?

Quite profound for a UA-cam comment hahaha

Every time i feel like shit i come to clips like this and life seems a bit less crappy. Thank you, Louie.
