@@MC-rn9dy The massive power imbalance when it was 2006 and Louis CK was performing at a comedy festival? You do realize this didn't happen at work either, right? This took place in a hotel at night after they had drinks in the lobby. You might as well say there's a massive power imbalance whenever someone with a lead role on a film ends up trying to do it with one of the smaller supporting actors.
Louie never forced any of these people to do anything. At what point do they take responsibility for their own choices? Also, no one knows who any of these comedians are. Is Louie still causing their lack of talent?
@@MC-rn9dyThere is an implied power imbalance, that’s why he apologized. It’s kinda weird an inappropriate, but that’s the extent of it. How are we gonna parse out what’s abusive when adults vocally consent? Do we have to check bank accounts and only the richer person is capable of consent? Louis can’t ask anyone for consent who admires him as a comedian? Women don’t like him for his hair or abs, so essentially any woman who is attracted to his humor is incapable of consent? I’m genuinely curious how we draw these lines. Louis did something weird, not abusive. Or if you do think it’s the latter, what could he have done differently?
Umm you don’t understand that people use their positions of power to coerce people? Or is it a reasonable transaction? Like being in need automatically makes you a sex worker?
@@duxnihilo he’s been back for years. Won a Grammy for his last special, sold out Madison square garden. One of 5 comedians ever to do so. He’s dominant.
Quite an interesting premise. The whole “controversy” rests on the idea that someone who did something wrong/gross but not illegal should 1) be ostracized forever, 2) never allowed to work in their industry again and 3) publicly shamed for the rest of their life. Is he supposed to not earn a living or something? The only crime was that he gave these women the “ick” and if it was someone rich and attractive there’d be no problem here.

@@pollygray7139 I suspect you won’t provide any points as to why LCK behavior was wrong? To me he appears to be more than a decent human being, compassionate, caring and and very reasonable, and probably therefore he thought he should apologize in this situation because he didn’t want anyone to feel bad for something he might have done, and that was a big mistake as people like yourself aren’t interested in what actually happened, and that I don’t think he was prepared for. If LCK is anything close to what he’s been accused of, do you think his female friends Sarah Silverman and Janeane Garofalo would go out and publicly defend him? Think about that for a while. I’m guessing you don’t have anything against sex? I’m guessing you don’t think asking for consent is wrong? The people he asked were ALL grown ups, they weren’t underaged, they weren’t mentally challenged. So you tell me what’s the problem here?
@matsfrommusic you don't see anything wrong with blocking doors so you can force women to watch you jack off? Just because Sarah Silverman was into it doesn't mean every woman is into it. And why do you guys always forget that he straight up admitted to it? It's not like it's wild speculation.
It's about time he is forgiven for doing these consensual things. This is 2024 now, not 2010. Men want to do things with women, so you either consent or you don't. If you consent, you don't get to destroy the person forever.
I think it's really telling that this many people don't really seem to know how consent works and that coercion is actually bad and not how to get laid.

@@DansChan995 Because you vote with your eyeballs and your wallet. When you watch and/or pay for content by people like Louis it is giving them the all clear to continue doing what they were doing and for the people he victimized to stay silent. I would say something about "what if it was your daughter?" but I'm suspecting that things like empathy aren't your strong suit.
Remember that your autonomy can only be defended by yourself, and that "power dynamics" require your participation in order to exist in the first place. He's a creep, and they were naive. Moving on.

Hey, that was Andy Kindler. I saw him perform standup live once. Absolutely the worst comedian I've even seen. He would get mad and scold the audience for not laughing at his jokes. Then he just started talking shit about other, more successful comedians.
Not gonna lie. Even though I think this looks good it still doesn’t change my opinion about his comedy. Dudes a legend. He fucked up. He received a downfall from that fuck up and now he’s moving on and should be allowed to continue having the life we all deserve to live.
@@usabilitynightmare Guess he was just too big already to get cancelled. And no, he did not assault women. He asked them if he could spank his monkey in front of them. There's a slight difference.
@@usabilitynightmare No women were assaulted, and nobody had their careers ruined. And CK has not walked back into any spotlight. He already owned his own audience, he has his own website and email list, and that's the only places he now sells/advertises. So please, stop making stuff up. If you're going to have an opinion, base it on facts instead of your imagination.
@@charlieparkeris you clearly dont know the story, because yes multiple womens careers were ruined. and masturbating to someone on the phone or in a room with them without their consent is sexual assault.
I bought and watched this thinking it would be angled more in his defense, but was disappointed to discover it was far more of a smear. There was a little balance, however. By far the best takeaway for me was the commentary of Noam Dworman (Owner of the Comedy Cellar): “Everybody I know knows people who’ve done things they should be ashamed of .. Normally, in a moral world, we forgive the people who apologize and admit that they did something wrong .. The people who are saying that ‘Louie shall not work’, they need to be questioned more closely as to where they draw the line .. You can feel whatever you want about these things, but the idea that you have the right to impose on a private business, who’s employing a free person, to perform in front of people who want to see him, in a free country .. that you feel that this is YOUR business, I think that’s very, very dangerous.”
I agree that it's a fair take. I loved LCK prior to this episode but have chosen to no longer support him following it. There was a brief moment where I was open to hearing his take on it but didn't like what he had to say about it. Regardless of how I feel about him, I could care less if others chose to support him. That's their choice that they are free to make.
@@awright2002 Actually, I was stating that it mostly wasn’t fair to him, especially from the perspective of the women who claim to have been stifled by him in some way. I don’t think that they were hindered in their career because of him so much as they are, plain and simple, just not as talented as him in the comic arena. I am a woman, but still believe there just aren’t as many funny female comedians as there are male ones. I think it’s just a matter of numbers. There simply aren’t as many attempting to go into the business, perhaps under the presumption that it’s a male dominated industry - like being a fireman, it requires thick skin, bravery, and strength (in the comedy world, strength of character) - but the fact is all they have to do to prove themselves is get up on stage and be funny, period. There are a few that I like .. Lynn Koplitz, Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler … because they make me laugh. I would pay to see them. They speak their own truth. However, the ones whose entire act is mostly dissing men and complaining about being hindered because of their sex, I just don’t buy it. I’m not victim blaming because I don’t see them as victims. All they had to do, literally, was stand up for themselves. I agree that what he did is disgusting, but he did nothing illegal. He apologized for it and I’m sure he’ll never do it again. Even before he was, pardon the pun, exposed, he had entire skits about how men are pigs. His observational, confessional, intellectual comedy is of the same caliber as Carlin, who wasn’t always funny, totally lacking compassion, and full of bitterness in ways that are far more offensive than Louie. Nonetheless, I still loved the guy, faults and all. There is a bravery in being a comic/prophet when the bits come from a place of self truth. So many of us suppress what we really think out of fear of being hated or judged. Louie doesn’t, and that makes him, still, a star to me. The fact that you signed him off for good is your right. If you think he’s no longer funny that’s one thing, but if you are barring him over this one distasteful aspect of his behavior, behavior that he’s acknowledged was horrible and promised to never do again, you might want to consider the level of forgiveness you offer to others that are actually a part of your life, who have effed up in big ways, but have resolved to learn, change their behavior, and grow from the experience. This is, as one example, the very mantra of Alcoholics Anonymous.

@@sundeep18If you skip to the parts where Noam Dworman is commenting that is the best part. He is the real voice of reason and, sadly, the only one who seems to defend him throughout this smear piece.
Of course
More comments than likes 🤣... very telling.
I heard he's got a decent piece.
This could pretty much be the whole documentary
He ASKED them “May I ******** in front of you?”, they could easily have said “No”. There was no assault, the whole thing was about nothing.
Power imbalance. Jesus you’re thick.
Ok next time ask your coworker you can to that. At least you asked and they can say no. Go to work and do that.
@@mattdammrich exactly.
Noone cares. Everyone has moved on. And they cant handle it. Sad.
The people making this are the worse. Just stop whining and complaning and playing victims all the time dammit.
Do one about Vince Champ
@@PohTrain nice guy, nice fella
So this is what failed unfunny female comedians resort to for attention? lol

@@willowbeederouaux4750 i love how y'all have buzzwords to shame men when you dont agree with their opinion. put a little more effort, this is just a bit lazy dont you think.
You didn't say he was wrong, just insulted him
@@willowbeederouaux4750 yo you got your ass got come say something about it lmao
Fucking neckbeard brigade coming through.
I can't believe there's people still thinking fans of LCK will care about this.
Wait I've been a fan of him, his TV show and his standup specials over the years. Why wouldn't I possibly care about this?
I'm a LCK fan and I care about this.
I still enjoy his work, but what he did was fucked and the amount of people who deny how fucked up it is is absolutely disturbing.
They don't but it's a good reminder that his fans are likely the bosses your wives and daughters are scared to tell you about.
@@DansChan995 Because you vote with your eyeballs and your wallet. When you watch and/or pay for content by people like Louis it is giving them the all clear to continue doing what they were doing and for the people he victimized to stay silent. I would say something about "what if it was your daughter?" but I'm suspecting that things like empathy aren't your strong suit.
@@meteda1070🤓🧩🤓🧩🤓
I bet this is funnier than every single one of those womens sets
Remember that your autonomy can only be defended by yourself, and that "power dynamics" require your participation in order to exist in the first place.
He's a creep, and they were naive.
Moving on.
I think this movie will actually be really good if you have a hankering for the trite opinions of a bunch of no-name comics and journalists.
Glad to see Louie coming back. Hes been missed. He served his time for his mild accusations and now its time for a come back.
1:31 I guess she has never heard of Bill Cosby.
1:02 oh damn that's the owner of the Comedy cellar?
1:32 nice anti-white racism there
I felt sorry for the women years ago. Now I feel sorry for Louis. Leave him alone.
I wonder if this doc is going to cover Dave Becky allegedly stalling these women’s careers?
It's like the popular kid who bullies the less liked kids and when the bullied tells on him he gets even more acceptance from his peers while bullied kids get more hate.
Aka the parable of the Israel Palestine war
Only thing Louis should apologize for is apologizing.
Well that’s part of the point of the doc, they don’t think he actually apologized.
Me clicking the video “They made a shitty atrophy again…I thought his new film or sth was about to come out and felt excited…I might as well rewatch Louis on his website until I die…”
This just made me get extra tickets to CK shows.
"Men" do not get to treat women however they want. Wealthy and powerful men however.... Women, survivors, victims, should just be honest about the type of men they choose and where the attraction they feel toward them comes from. Then please stop generalizing.
Many wars to make movies on... America needs help!
Jen Kirkman? lol at not even calling her a comedian tho
Youuuuuuuu alllllllllll saaaaaaaaaaid yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssass
Under duress. Louis himself admits this.
There's a reason why in the law if someone signs a contract under duress it's legally considered void.
They don't get told Youuuuuuu siiiiiiiiggggnnnnnneedd ittttt.
Youuuuu neeeeeeeed toooooo beeeeee ooooooon aaaaaa watchhhhhhh liiiiiiiiist!!!!!!!!
Iffffff heeeee brokkkkkkeeeee the laaaaaaaaaw, arresssssssssssst himmmmmmmmm

@@willowbeederouaux4750what disability do you have
Too bad The New York Times has no credibility
Exactly. I get all my news from Fox. 100% credibility
Too bad you don't have credibility
The power of mannyyy
We love you Louie
This comes off just petty and pathetic.
Next come documentary about Lincoln: the republican you didn't know.
Yeah, I hear he was an asshole in real life.
it’s doubtful. Look who women helped elect in 2016 and can’t wait for 2024. Baffling.
There is one, though more of a presentation than a documentary. And it's good.
Abraham Linclon: American Dictator. By @Razorfist.
Hey, that was Andy Kindler. I saw him perform standup live once. Absolutely the worst comedian I've even seen. He would get mad and scold the audience for not laughing at his jokes. Then he just started talking shit about other, more successful comedians.
What a pathetic doc.
Radio on TV. Pure interviews.
The only thing funny about the accusers is how desperate they need Louis to be relevant
Not gonna lie. Even though I think this looks good it still doesn’t change my opinion about his comedy. Dudes a legend. He fucked up. He received a downfall from that fuck up and now he’s moving on and should be allowed to continue having the life we all deserve to live.
Dude did nothing wrong
So disappointing. I thought it was a new special. Just a bunch of crybabies.
The cream rises to the top.
Funny women succeed in comedy.
Totally not true for women or men, plenty of funny comics doing way worse than hacks
@@AlexSmith-dh1oz purely subjective.
@@NWJF ok but if you think comedy (or anything in the entertainment industry besides sports) is a meritocracy you’re an idiot
@@AlexSmith-dh1oz”totally not true” ☝️😎🤓
Still with this? For God's sake, give it a rest.
multiple women were sexually assaulted and had their careers ruined, and he just walks back into the spotlight
but yeah its enough already
@@usabilitynightmare Guess he was just too big already to get cancelled. And no, he did not assault women. He asked them if he could spank his monkey in front of them. There's a slight difference.
@@usabilitynightmare No women were assaulted, and nobody had their careers ruined. And CK has not walked back into any spotlight. He already owned his own audience, he has his own website and email list, and that's the only places he now sells/advertises.
So please, stop making stuff up. If you're going to have an opinion, base it on facts instead of your imagination.
Women should be obscene...not heard❤
@@charlieparkeris you clearly dont know the story, because yes multiple womens careers were ruined. and masturbating to someone on the phone or in a room with them without their consent is sexual assault.
Jen Kirkman still out here talking about Louis? REALLY?!
These people are acting as if they've never done anything wrong in their lives. Try salacious media.
Just here to dislike. This is petty
I always admire a documentary that takes time to present both sides of something.
Thus, you ought to hate this one.
I bought and watched this thinking it would be angled more in his defense, but was disappointed to discover it was far more of a smear. There was a little balance, however. By far the best takeaway for me was the commentary of Noam Dworman (Owner of the Comedy Cellar): “Everybody I know knows people who’ve done things they should be ashamed of .. Normally, in a moral world, we forgive the people who apologize and admit that they did something wrong .. The people who are saying that ‘Louie shall not work’, they need to be questioned more closely as to where they draw the line .. You can feel whatever you want about these things, but the idea that you have the right to impose on a private business, who’s employing a free person, to perform in front of people who want to see him, in a free country .. that you feel that this is YOUR business, I think that’s very, very dangerous.”
I agree that it's a fair take. I loved LCK prior to this episode but have chosen to no longer support him following it. There was a brief moment where I was open to hearing his take on it but didn't like what he had to say about it. Regardless of how I feel about him, I could care less if others chose to support him. That's their choice that they are free to make.
@@awright2002 Actually, I was stating that it mostly wasn’t fair to him, especially from the perspective of the women who claim to have been stifled by him in some way. I don’t think that they were hindered in their career because of him so much as they are, plain and simple, just not as talented as him in the comic arena. I am a woman, but still believe there just aren’t as many funny female comedians as there are male ones. I think it’s just a matter of numbers. There simply aren’t as many attempting to go into the business, perhaps under the presumption that it’s a male dominated industry - like being a fireman, it requires thick skin, bravery, and strength (in the comedy world, strength of character) - but the fact is all they have to do to prove themselves is get up on stage and be funny, period. There are a few that I like .. Lynn Koplitz, Sarah Silverman, Chelsea Handler … because they make me laugh. I would pay to see them. They speak their own truth. However, the ones whose entire act is mostly dissing men and complaining about being hindered because of their sex, I just don’t buy it. I’m not victim blaming because I don’t see them as victims. All they had to do, literally, was stand up for themselves. I agree that what he did is disgusting, but he did nothing illegal. He apologized for it and I’m sure he’ll never do it again. Even before he was, pardon the pun, exposed, he had entire skits about how men are pigs. His observational, confessional, intellectual comedy is of the same caliber as Carlin, who wasn’t always funny, totally lacking compassion, and full of bitterness in ways that are far more offensive than Louie. Nonetheless, I still loved the guy, faults and all. There is a bravery in being a comic/prophet when the bits come from a place of self truth. So many of us suppress what we really think out of fear of being hated or judged. Louie doesn’t, and that makes him, still, a star to me. The fact that you signed him off for good is your right. If you think he’s no longer funny that’s one thing, but if you are barring him over this one distasteful aspect of his behavior, behavior that he’s acknowledged was horrible and promised to never do again, you might want to consider the level of forgiveness you offer to others that are actually a part of your life, who have effed up in big ways, but have resolved to learn, change their behavior, and grow from the experience. This is, as one example, the very mantra of Alcoholics Anonymous.
It’s like the military industrial complex, war isn’t bad for business, just like making documentaries that people will watch regardless of why.
