Louie went out of his way to pick people that show emotion better than they show good acting ability. He said this on Opie and Anthony show back in the day. Such a smart dide
Because they’re good actors and Louie is a good creator. Shame it all had to be ruined because some ladies went back on the consent they gave to him before he jerked off in the same room as them.
*RIP Charles Grodin [*]. He died of multiple myeloma (MM), which is a rare BLOOD DISEASE. One of the classic symptoms of MM is... you guessed it: lower back pain. I'm almost 100% sure that's why he acted in this scene. He'd been battling MM since 2009, and this particular scene was filmed in 2014.*
Like every human being i happen to have a flu, sometimes. My voice is different, and the way people react to me is totally different. Especially on the phone. It's crazy.
For years i believe my voice is slightly deep. Then those years are broken in between with small realizations that I have a slightly higher pitch voice when i hear my voice when my mom has me on speaker on her end :/
@@JasterM1 I actually looked this one up a while ago and it has to do with the vocal chord vibrations traveling through your skull, making a deeper sound internally. But yeah, I hate hearing a recording of my voice because of this lol
That's a legitimate thing. In my country doctors have no guts to say what this Doctor said. So they'll give you some phones diagnosis or tell you you have osteochondrose (which you most likely don't have)
This show cures depression. It just does. Every once in awhile clips show up on my feed. But I’ve watched Louie all the way through 4 times. When life gives you lemons, watch Louie.
Agreed,if someone is eating loud next to me I secretly hope that a close family member of theirs (ideally a child) is hurt in some horrific industrial accident,but with this scene I’m mesmerised 🤷🏻♂️
The nonchalance, the indifference, the smacking of his mouth, it's all so perfect. The best thing you can do for your back is to exercise regularly, use weights that slowly build your back muscles. The thing about bone and joint pain is that the best thing is to strengthen the muscles around it. People think that these things are just wear and tear and things that come with age, but that's not entirely true. Equally, even if you are in [some] pain you should still try to exercise to some extent, as over time it will get better.

yes and no. I complained to my GP that my right hand was very cold in the winter. He said, "then wear a glove". On the other hand, if you make the mistake of having an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon (which is difficult enough to do as is), then knives are out. Knee pain = surgery, back pain = surgery. It's all in the money, I guess.
For me, the odd thing is not that he just sits there eating and indifferent while Louie is talking to him about his pain, it’s the fact that he’s drinking from a water bottle when there’s a perfectly good water cooler right behind them.

I’m a family physician and desperately wish I could just recite this dialogue verbatim to most of my patients. Most people expect a magic cure with a pill or operation for back pain. I tell my patients all the time that Western medicine is good at a lot of things, but back pain ain’t one of em. Most people don’t want to do the exercises, stretches, lose weight, or accept that their back is just gonna betray them from time to time, and they blame doctors for not fixing it immediately. Do the physical therapy. You can take (for most people on average) 1000mg of tylenol up to 4x/day, 600-800mg ibuprofen 3x/day, and lidocaine patches or voltaren gel, and still do the PT. I could prescribe muscle relaxers or opioids, or could refer you for injections or ortho surgery in dire circumstances, but 95+% of back pain is this scene right fuckin here. Spend half my day explaining this every day without fail
This physician gave Louis ZERO options, ZERO actionable information, and ZERO sympathy- and he gave NONE of the explanations you just gave. Please don't idolize an arrogant asshole who fails at the most basic & fundamental duty of the physician: providing the patient with actionable information. If I had a physician say to me what this guy said to Louis, my response would be "That's the most flippant, useless, and apathetic medical advice I've ever received; I'm going to let you try again RIGHT NOW... and if you give me another worthless, breezy, indifferent assessment, perhaps I can't get you in trouble BUT MY NEW MISSION IN LIFE WILL BE TO TRY-I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO BECOME A SERIOUS THORN IN YOUR SIDE." The life of a physician can be hard & grueling, but that doesn't justify taking out one's frustrations on a polite, inoffensive, communicative patient who has done nothing wrong.
great advice. I've had back issues a lot in my 30s and 40s but once I started a daily routine of 100 jump rope and 100 crunches (not even sit ups just crunches) every day, taking all of about 5 minutes; I haven't had any significant issues in a decade.
This doctor is amazing, cause he is like me and my doctor trashtalking bout patients who expect him to help. I'm just there cause I need to but never take a recipe (Well as long as I dont have Covid or cancer)
"we were given a clothesline and we're using it as a flagpole" is such a phenomenal line, as I sit here with herniated cervical discs. I am actually very grateful for the few times my back doesn't hurt - it's so rare that it's noticeable
It ALL works man,...... I am surprised by what I miss, and enjoy what I do get from the whole scene. Both cats can make my eyes water from laughter. They work better than pain medicine sometimes.
Broooo.. as someone whos dealt with a herniated bulging disc since 2006.. thats tried LITERALLY EVERYTHING outside of actually surgery. I can attest that had I been told this...... During the height of my pain .. i probably would've tried it as well ... Also from hearing every quack doctor from here to sundown try to sell me on remedies... This literal diagnosis and course for treatment given to me by way of any MD... wouldn't surprise me in rhe least bit. Sidebar.. I ALWAYS LAUGH.. if not as much ... Then probably even more...than i did when i originally first saw this video. imma fan of Louis obviously...but wasn't an avid watcher of the show .l
This scene is great You have a doctor at a huge expense looking desk in a setting you would never see a doctor for, he seems wildly overqualified to help and has nothing at all to offer.
Never noticed it before. Talk about continuity: not only is it a completely different water bottle but it goes from the middle of the desk to the right side in the very first shot.
I was on a plane and imagined this scene not 12 hours ago. I didnt search for this either. I was stuck on what term he used for the horizontal vertebrae. Creepy.
I'll never get tired of this scene.
i love in the beginning after the doctor puts his water back, he searches the desk for something just to delay his interaction with Louie.
LOL
It's the munching sounds too haha

Yes indeed.
Plus brilliant writing…makes it easier to deliver a convincing act
Because they’re good actors and Louie is a good creator. Shame it all had to be ruined because some ladies went back on the consent they gave to him before he jerked off in the same room as them.
Because the actors are directed to their full potential. Besides one of the best comedians, Louis is also an amazing writer and director.
The moment where he pauses before saying 20,000 years like he's actually doing the math in his head cracks me up every time

As a physician myself, this is the best explanation of most back pain I've every heard.

best back pain related advice ever.- much better than opiate addiction
Back pain sucks but if it’s really intense. Opiates do help. Just don’t go crazy with them.
no it isn’t
Amazing show. I miss it so much.
32 years and ive been lucky every minute of it
I'm 52 and never had any back pains. Kinda feel like I've taken it for granted after this.
I actually went to a doctor with back pain once . And he said he thought orthopaedic subjects was boring! :-D What do you answer to that...? "- Sorry that I don't have a more interesting pain or disease! " :-D. :-D :- D
Holy fuck o.O
Maybe the doctor finds back pain boring because there's not much he can do about it.
@@TheLivirus Or because it's just so fucking common lol
Well you could always get back to him when you get a blood disease or something equally interesting.

Since I saw this scene my back pain got better.

Best doctor in the history of the medical profession.

easily my favorite supporting character in the show. I hope im this care free in my golden years.
every second of this made me laugh , my kidneys hurt

my professional diagnosis is that your kidneys hurt
Love everything about this show. Couldn’t get enough of it when it was on and still love it. Also Charles Grodin is amazing!
no eye contact
I watch this at least once a week
Every time I eat a sandwich for lunch, I think of this scene.
do you smack your lips lol

"Ppl came along and used it vertical" 😂🤣😀
I wish Charles Grodin woukd have been in more things. He’s amazing. Very underrated. RIP

Grodin was always one of my favorite comic actors. Did not know he had passed until I ran across these comments. Rest in peace, Charles.
Something about this plain sandwich on white with the water for lunch and the way he's eating it is hilarious.
It ALL works man,...... I am surprised by what I miss, and enjoy what I do get from the whole scene. Both cats can make my eyes water from laughter. They work better than pain medicine sometimes.
......and the heavy sigh at 0:15 😂😂😂😂😂
I laughed so hard my back hurts now.
47 yrs in the tree biz and I have never heard "im glad i had that back surgery " I do hear "they want me to come back in for another surgery "
I got back urgery and very glad I did! been able to play soccer again after not being able to walk for 4 month
This pretty much is the conversation I had with my doctor
When my boss reprimands me for walking around the office on all fours, I always redirect him to this medical video advice.
Charles Grodin--Rest In Peace. Played a doctor in Rosemary's Baby and many other great roles.
00:46 - a glass of water magically appears in front of louis. 😂

Ima send this to my chiropractor
chiropractors are fake doctors. chiropractors kill people every year.
How did your chiropractor react?
I like the "smacking" of the food, while the doctor is eating.
Charles Grodin is a comedy genius. Flat indifference delivery. Perfection.
This scene is great
You have a doctor at a huge expense looking desk in a setting you would never see a doctor for, he seems wildly overqualified to help and has nothing at all to offer.

Louie: My ankle really hurts. Doctor: Yeah, that starts to happen.
Charles motherfucking Grodin. Look for his cameo in You Can't Hurry Love.😊
And then on his way out the receptionist actually gives him useful advice. Too f***ing accurate
