In case you needed a reminder that Louis CK is terrible... (Check threadmarks for staff post)

I figured. It wasn't really directed at you. Your post was just a good opportunity to give an expanded explanation (which I also added to the threadmarks).
There's no valid reason to think the comments that are the subject of this thread are funny.
Yup. Despite being a high-tech low-life, Carlin was something of a modern man.

Wrong it's Joe Pesci. He seems like a guy who can get shit done.
Touche' I loved that whole bit. One of his best. I do believe that's the one where he sort of predicted 9/11 if I'm not mistaken.
Since we are comparing Carlin and CK for some reason I thought I would throw my hat in the ring.
Carlin
Now lets see how CK regards the mother of his children

I feel so fortunate that I got to see Carlin perform live in my lifetime
It is an insult to Carlin to even speak of CK as being in the same ballpark... especially now.
Seriously, Rollins has always been questionable given his preference for neo Nazi women and defending them publicly
Me too, he came to my town on his last tour when he was practising for the bigger shows, he had his notebook and everything.
This is sad, havent found his jokes before this to be in poor taste. I was ready to forgive louis for what he has done before but he aint helping
Fuck Jay Mohr for throwing his hat in the ring to the CK defense force. Not linking the tweets but there are a handful being posted right now.
i really should make one of my new year's resolutions to spend less time entertaining the rambling of profoundly mediocre men
this set doesn't offend me, rather it bores me - contrary to what conservatives may tell you, bigotry is not "the new punk rock", it's the unending status quo we've had to deal with our whole lives, and after a while comments like those just fade into a grey malaise
i'm more irritated by these men acting like they're ~special~ and whining about how people aren't forced to listen to their milquetoast opinions shared by countless other functionally identical people

I was a big fan of his back in the day and whenever I'd see him in something, like Parks & Rec or whatever, I'd be way more interested in checking it out. Now after the allegations, his obviously hollow confession/apology, and this bit, he's just another old man complaining about young people being smart enough to not fall for his bullshit and demanding more of him to be "forgiven" by the general public that makes me sad when I see him in old stuff now. It's just easier for him to double down on not learning from what happened and to embrace the new right wing audience he'll get that will fade away once nobody cares about what he has to say.
Are you really surprised that the Jay Mohrs and Doug Stanhopes of the world are rushing to his defense?
I was more taken aback when someone like Erica Rhodes backed him.
honestly 99% of comedians probably agree with him. most just don't want to die on that hill.
Every cretin that brings up Carlin can't discern the difference between a comedian's tone and a comedian's content. If Carlin were still alive, I'm sure he'd drag Louie over this garbage.
If George Carlin was still alive, he would be dragged through the mud as well. Just take a glance at the George Carlin thread today that had to be locked.
if someone said this on a street they'd be that crazy guy you try not to make eye contact with and go about your day. putting him in a comedy club wouldn't suddenly make it comedy. there's no comedy here, just bitterness.
We just had this discussion.
Carlin was not the frozen in time and out of context icon you people want him to be. He was more than willing to admit when shit didn't work and could adapt accordingly.
that exact exchange is pretty much how the conversation on this forum went when Dave Chappelle's Equanimity and The Bird Revelation specials dropped and included some really shitty remarks
I just did, and I don't see it. People can tell the differce in intent, and they can tell the difference between punching up and punching down.
That Louie CK thing is hateful in a way that Carlin wasn't toward marginalized people.
Oh, and let's not forget that Carlin never non-apologized for waving his dick at people because he didn't actually do that shit in the first place.
Yeah, same. At least you can take the good things he did (like you said, his methods of content distribution) and use them yourself.
But yeah otherwise he can fuck off into obscurity.
Man, this is painful to read about, especially because it felt like his response seemed better than most at the time of his accusations. He didn't demean or discredit his accusers, he was just like, yes, I did this. Yes, it was wrong and fucked up. I'm going to walk away from public life and these business prospects and work on myself.
And now he's making jokes at the expense of shooting victims? Trans people? When he got to the Asian man bit you could tell he was just trying to be offensive for its own sake. But this is a far cry from the craftsmanship he exhibited as recently as 2017. This is pathetic. He could have come back from this. He could have used his comedy to help the world instead of just piling on the little guy. Maybe he feels like he was treated unfairly. Bet the women he exposed himself to felt they were treated unfairly as well. Fuck you, Louis C.K.

He's just leaning into it eh.
Listened to half of it and could not even find how it was supposed to be funny.

It's sad to me that the bar for white powerful men who abuse said power is so low, "at least he didn't demean or discredit his accusers" is among the best in category, despite a refusal to actually apologize for what was done.
If only that was the worst we'd have to worry about from comedians.
And even though I think it's wrong to completely ignore electoral politics, he's not wrong about how much needs to come from the bottom up culturally.

Jay has his faults but had seemed to be all about positivity and shinning a light in this stupid world lately. He's super anti-Trump. So I guess I am surprised.
I'm surprised too, but kind of not. I hope that he can learn from this moment.
Speaking of dunking, Louis CK and Ricky Gervais, and Jay Mohr, you might want to listen to this old impression. It's hilarious.

Also features a bonus Norm Macdonald impression somewhere in the middle.

You are not kidding. His second impression they asked of him nailed it.
