Louie

Amazingly funny show. His jokes, though about common subjects, are often original, deadpan and intensily recognizable.

  • moving the black kids to the window seats when their schoolbus gets stuck in Harlem
  • his niece from the country side is visiting New York and sees a bum: "don't touch him. Don't touch him! Yes he needs your help, he needs your help desperately. Don't touch him!"
  • The way you say "Jesus Christ" can put you in hell. "And what did they say when they were crucifying him? Eh? What did they say?! '*mumble mumble* that's really bananas'!"
(reminder: this post is not supposed to be funny. It is a reminder to myself, nothing more.)
