One of the major recurring themes in Louie is Louis CK’s awkward interactions with the opposite sex. His character frequently puts his foot in his mouth, makes unrequited advances, gets put down, and finds himself in any number of other horrible, cringe-worthy situations involving women. It’s terrifying. If any of the things that happen to his character on the show happened to me in real life I would probably stay inside for a month, just ordering delivery for all my meals and watching reruns of Fresh Prince until I worked up the resolve to rejoin society again. But something about seeing them happen to him is hilariously transfixing — like watching two clown cars crash into each other, I imagine — as evidenced by this supercut of those moments from the show. Oof.
If I could give you one piece of advice regarding the video, it would be to take note of the faces Louis CK makes while all these things are happening to him. They are honestly one of my favorite parts of the show. Even though he isn’t a classically trained actor, he manages to convey that “Lucy pulled the football away again but by ‘football’ I mean ‘any chance of us sleeping together’” feeling with one look better than anyone else on television. I don’t know if the Emmy people plan on adding a category for Best Charlie Brown of Sex, but if they do Louis CK has that sucker locked up.

He’s live action male version of the comic strip Cathy…
I can’t remember the specific strip when Cathy shoved a bag of dicks into someone’s vagina. Did she do it for chocolate?
I cannot click on this. The overdose of awkward would cause me to write out a leave-slip and go home early.
Yeah. I cannot watch this. As awesome as his stand up is, I cannot watch this show. When your recap contains the term “soul-crushing” and there are enough such events to list in every episode, I do not think I could take watching it. Probably my loss, but I doubt I could watch one episode before I got to a squirm-inducing scene and turn it off.
I loved his standup and watched his HBO show, but I only made it through the first season of this. It’s too depressing and far too realistic. Which I guess makes it a successful show because it elicits a strong emotional reaction, but I just can’t watch it knowing how brutal the next situation is probably going to be.
I know people always say this and I never believe them, but I was drinking tea when he mentioned his four year old daughter. Seriously caused me to choke.
Well he did TV-fuck Joan Rivers…
That is not a win.
On the one hand, this makes me feel slightly better about my own interactions with women, but on the other hand it just reminds me of all my own interactions with women.
This is missing the most soul crushing moment of the entire run of Louie:

I watch Louie every week on my Dish remote access app and I love every minute of it. I agree that Louie is pretty realistic and that sometimes it gets a bit depressing, but I think a little humility in everyone’s life can go a long way. It does make me call to attention all of my previous interactions with females that’s because this show is far deeper than just another comedy. I always watch Louie a second time with my app at the coffee shop so I can make sure I didn’t miss anything. I have been watching it ever since a coworker at Dish introduced and although they never told me how awkward it can make you feel I have been watching it ever since. I guess it has just grown on me.
