I know a toothbrush isn't a common item you’d see in a description,
but do get the occasional teeth question from time to time.I’ve been using
the Sonicare brand for almost two decades.

The irony in this example is that huck is the more empathetic of the 2 boys and is capable of the most growth in realizing the way things are is wrong... All while using that word a thousand times more.
I need to read these books.
Once an exhibitionist, always an exhibitionist.
Louis ck is wild lol
My jaw dropped. Shocking, but funny because it’s funny storytelling based in truth
You need to read Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer because they’re awesome books. Mark Twain is an incredible American writer. It’s hard to overstate it.
I read them last year and actually Huck is a pretty decent kid and Tom is a sociopath lol. Most people think it's the other way around.
@@RmnGnzlz Perhaps all little boys are part sociopath! 🙂
That's still might be the highlight of that girls life. She thanks Louis! Possibly!
Wow Wow Wow ... this completely made my mind explode with the recent news of "book banning" in our country. Jeezus.
Really?? I didn’t even realize this was a thing until I saw your comment and went digging. That’s really scary to me. That’s sounds like some dystopian novel becoming reality. That’s crazy!
@@dash.reacts Yeah ... this country is in a REALLY bad place. Scary stuff.
Except book banning isn't a "new" thing in America. To Kill a Mockingbird, Huck Finn, Catcher in the Rye, and a myriad of others have been on banned lists for the past 70 years.
What's odd is that in cases like To Kill a Mockingbird, the reasons have shifted. It was originally banned because it had the n word and centered around a r*pe case. NOW it's banned because Atticus is a "white savior" and he says racist things in 'Go Set a Watchman' (the 'sequel' to TKAM)
@@shadypelican - Banning books (and especially BURNING books) was a 'thing' that faded from America about a half century ago. Policing speech and thoughts is a truly scary thing that many thought was gone forever. Sadly, it's back... and many folks don't seem to realize the kind of horrific totalitarian government they are pushing.
@@thereseball What books were banned and where?
He talks about "that" topic in his newest special. Absolutely hilarious and he makes good points about it.
I haven’t seen it yet. Is his new special worth watching?
@@dash.reacts I've seen it out of order in clips and even that is some of my favorite stuff he's done.
@@dash.reacts it’s absolutely worth seeing! It’s called Sincerely. I would recommend seeing it in order to get the flow of it.
I've seen that special. In my opinion he barely addresses it. Both in sincerely and sorry. I love Louis CK but I think it's misleading to say he talks about it. He vaguely refers to it is more accurate in my opinion.
glad loui still has the kid inside of him
😂
Mark Twain said- " if you take the boy out of the man, there's not a whole lot left"
It's been a long time since I read any Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer, but I remember frequent reference to one gentleman in the community that Huck always referred to as N- Jim. However, I never once had the sense that the author himself - Mark Twain - was in support of that mindset. It was more like he was recording the way a lot of people thought. If that's how young white boys thought at that time, because of their education (or lack thereof), should Mark Twain have glossed over that fact or told it like it was? I think the latter is the honest path. Also, there are PLENTY of other vices beyond racism. Just because a person isn't a racist doesn't mean they're automatically promoted to sainthood. I've met people who aren't racist, but they still treated their elderly parents as if they lower than dogs and in imposition and why wouldn't they just die... and it breaks my heart. Until a person has the humility to realize that they TOO would be capable of any of those sins, racism, being a thief, being selfish, if they had been raised that way, they will make the mistake of arrogance and think, "Well I certainly would never be capable of that!" Yes you would. There but for the grace of God go I. I'm thankful my parents raised me to believe in God, the awareness that there IS right and wrong, that the greatest of these is love, etc. But I'm not foolish enough to think that I'm perfect or that I'm better than someone else. Just that by God's grace I received the love that I need, so I can pass it on to others. I feel BLESSED every time I'm able to share God's love. BTW, as far as Louis pushing the envelope, I'm for it. I think the biggest motivator is force us to think about it and react. It's an absolute waste for someone to come into this gift we call life and just coast on auto pilot and never engage in it. It's way to easy to go about life in a lazy way and when Louis or other great comics poke us a little bit; a big part of that is to prod us to not just respond like robots to predictable jokes. There are some so-called comedians who do "edgy" or controversial jokes, but they're not doing it for the value of the material. It's just a technique, a formula, that they know works. I have zero patience with them. Louis CK is not one of those hacks. Nor is Dave Chapelle, Bill Burr, Norm Macdonald, nor a long list of awesome comedians!
I hear every word of this. I think context is a big part of everything, whether it’s Mark Twain writing, Dave Chappelle making a joke, Joe Rogan doing a podcast, or Louis CK making a joke. Somewhere along the way, people have started losing sight of that. Left, right or center…nobody’s perfect (just like you mentioned). I think comedians do a great job of shining a light on that in a funny way. But the sad thing is…comedians are staring to have to walk on eggshells just to tell jokes.
Not being racist doesn't promote you to sainthood, I agree, but it is a step on the right direction.
😂
Foreshadowing
LOL....yeah but he kinda did do it yesterday, huh? 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Read the book!
Don't know about life imitating art, it appears to be something he's always wanted to do.
Still , can't deny he's one of the best comic writers though.
Of course you find it funny. Its funny!
Bruh... Im German. Dont ask me 3:42
Comedy=Tragedy + Time 😉 (not my quote)
It’s very true, though. It’s where the whole “Too soon?” thing comes from.
Lucky for us Norm Macdonald found the solution. You don't need to take the word out if you just change the Huck to be a black kid, then it's fine because everytime he says it it's like in a rap song so it's cool.
No because he asked. And she said yes.
Then she changed her mind later.
Comedy bits like these are why real louis ck fans were not shocked by his "scandal" the dude was always a pervert lol and again in his defense he did ask for consent with grown adults but you know how people get. Glad folks can still just enjoy the comedy and not get hung up on shit that's already been addressed.
Those were my values at 8 years old. Aaaand they never changed.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I sure hope this dude has a huge piece... what other reason would drive someone to just whip it out on unsuspecting women?? I don't think I'm doing too bad in that department... but not once in my 43 years have I ever thought that just pulling it out out of nowhere?! I'll never understand it.. lol
We live in an age where we're slowly getting away from using the word midget. But maybe in the future we'll get to a time where using that word will be like using the n word now and thinking about how back in the day they used the n word the way we use the word midget.
Midgets were never enslaved. Really bad analogy.
@@ZapperguyLOL so, the Wonka factory? We're all going to pretend that never existed??
Nice, reeeeal nice. 😂😂
@@ZapperguyLOL in all seriousness though, You think the only prerequisite to have a negative nomenclature be hurtful to your race is that you have to be enslaved? So you can pretty much call anybody else any derogatory term that you like as long as they were never enslaved, is that what you're telling me?
Really don't want to know what you refer to Asians, Hispanics and Native Americans in casual conversation.
@@JoseChavez-ct1db You've leapt to some grand conclusions, but your assumptions about me are incorrect. I'm not looking to argue with you, but you are equating dwarfism with skin color. "Little people" are not a race. That is why I felt it was a bad analogy. I was attempting to point out that given the history of how black people have been treated in this country, and how much the N-word has been a part of it, that these 2 epithets are not in the same league. I don't use derogatory terms for any groups in casual conversation, as you suggest. How you got to "So you can pretty much call anybody else..." from the seven words I posted, I will never know. Have a nice day 🙂
@@JoseChavez-ct1db The Wonka comment made me laugh.
You bleeping the word, completely undermines the struggle the African American man went through during those times. Watch the Louis CK/Opie and Anthony discussion on Huck Finn and it’ll change your mind…
ua-cam.com/video/3lIQDiGsz40/v-deo.html
I don’t think that it does. There’s a difference between bleeping the word in a Louis CK stand-up set on YT (in the off chance that there’s an algorithm cost to leaving it in) and omitting it from Mark Twain’s prose as historical reference.
But I will check out the Opie and Anthony discussion. I appreciate the recommendation.
As a counterpoint, UA-cam would more than likely demonetize a video that contains the word.
Their audio recognition is very thorough, and for the sake of making money, bleeping it is a smart choice.
