Louis C.K. Takes Cancel Culture Baton from Chappelle in ‘Sorry’


https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/louis-ck-sorry-review-trans-chappelle/

C.K.’s new hour-long special, “Sorry,” can be purchased via the comic’s web site. No Hulu, Netflix or Amazon Prime.

And while the bulk of the show could easily be shown on those now-traditional platforms, the final five minutes would cause their respective programmers to think long and hard whether to air it or not.

He digs into cultural stereotypes regarding gay men, often leaning on a progressive frame for the material. He says the modern gay man is strong and successful, betraying the stereotypes of yore.

By comparison, “these modern heterosexual men are [f-words],” he says. “I’m saying that with love, from an old man on his way out, but they’re fags …when I see a progressive young couple I always wanna stop her and says, ‘does that turn you on?’”

“It’s another kind of dude, a faggy straight dude,” he says of the modern, vape-smoking progressive male.

C.K. wraps by channeling Chappelle, who said in his Netflix special “The Closer” that everyone in the audience entered the world via a woman’s legs. C.K. doubled down on that biological sentiment, suggesting every gay or trans person today required two “boring straight people” having sex to make them a reality.

“With an original [penis], not a turned inside out [vagina],” he says.

What a weird guy. I don't really know what to make of Louie.
I watched some of his shows; Lucky Louie, Louie, and he was OK in
the Woody Allen movie, but come on, he did wrong and he doesn't
seem sorry. Also, while a lot of his humor is hilarious, he always
has to go to some very weird places, and expanding on that over
time, which seems to point to that he was a real perv and did not
fit in the present day.

Maybe I'll watch whatever it is when someone pirates it to YouTube,
but I'm not officially watching and certainly not paying for any of
his stuff.

I don't think the human brain can really deal with the fact that maybe
someone is entertaining and makes you laugh despite the garbage that
he is talking, but we're in the 21st century not and thing have to change.

I think he just hates women because despite all his "exercising" he can't
lose weight and is a pretty repulsive guy and instead of doing something
about it or blaming himself he blames women.

I don't get why these comedians have to make such a big deal about people
who look or bahave differently to them. When I meet someone I look at
them and might have feelings about them, but it is interesting to find out
... well, usually anyway ... who they are and what they are about. I could
care less about who they have sex with or how ... unless there is some
trick I could learn to apply to my dinosauric heterosexual self that would
make sex better, though I can't complain about it now.

Why does sex have to enter into the outside world with people he is not
going to have sex with. I think the answer is that some comedians have
to sort of virtually bully people, and that appeals to the bullies. It is like
Louie's fans are too chicken or civilized to deal with their own sexual
complexes, so they get a vicarious thrill when Louie plays like the big
swinging dick he obviously isn't. I mean, what woman would be attracted
to that? Hopefully for Louis, someone. I feel sorry for his kids, but then
considering a lot of his humor, I felt sorry for his kids before his compulsive
public wanking became famous.

Instead of stand-up comedy we should have stand-up woke sermons.
