Louis CK Stand Up 1987

[valeriezorgelicious]

i would probably get naked with him

[buckleygeneration]

Jesus Christ, Louis CK at my age...

[helix537]

i'm sorry but that dolphin joke is amazing

[animosTube]

His comedy skill improve so much..not the appearance unfortunately

[HelicopterHoneymoon]

a tragedy, this young comedian disappeared swimming with the dolphins in Key West shortly after this clip was filmed.

[DukeDanceum]

Dolphin jokes for over 20 years.

[TheReptyle]

Omg the head in the steering wheel joke was too good lol.

[llehctimd]

and who in that audience wouldve thought that they were watching a mexican..

[LermanProductions]

Yeah, like this kid has a chance. What'll you tell me next, a black president?

[VegaRocksTheRoses]

haha. I got the flu right now and I'm smoking a cigarette. I laughed so hard I hacked up a lung

You rock Luie

[Balkongmadrass]

Prez?

[jtmagicman25]

I've got a good feeling about this Guy.

[CannedGoodz4ever]

He's not a ginger???

[Clifton100]

He was good looking. Not just compared to now..

Too much stress? no exercise? bad diet? genetics?

All of the above?

[Fubumaki]

@Clifton100 holy crap! he looks 25years younger, what gives?

[Clifton100]

@Fubumaki ur one of the many idiots in the world. I said "not just compared to now." I have to explain for the stupid people.

[KajiCarson]

My God, I just can't recognize the guy.

[outsider0100]

Holy shit! Hair!

[Mrajejo]

i think he looks like " chandler bing "

[F0rkb0y]

LOL at 0:03 I thought that was Louis !

[theosculator]

Isn't he a ginger??

[DrDumb002]

He's hilarious. I really hope he doesn't become a fatty.

[smbtjb]

1:11

[W3551D3]

Why does he not have red hair?

[constipatedlecher]

man! this guy ALWAYS had it!

[Nuckelavee20]

I saw him scratch his ear and I knew

[acrc14]

Oh hey, hes still got red hair!!!

[Conspiracyknowledge]

holy shit what a young guy he was

[DrReach13]

Woaaaa...... He was Super funny Still is

[moonsugar1]

Jesus. This man has been funny the entire time I've been alive.

[DanMcCaffrey]

So, so, but that's besides the point. He reminds me of Chris Rocks early material. If you've got superior ideas and instincts, once you drop the need to be liked and start pleasing your own instincts - that's when you become great like these two did. Definitely a study in how to improve as a comedian.

[zoso7889]

Louis has not aged well

[Superstarseven]

@zoso7889 How many 44 year olds keep looking like their 19 year old selves?

[ffyfan15]

i love how he was just as inappropriate then.

lmao.

[anteracmacash]

wait...he wasn't always a ginger ??

[00Rend00]

24 years and 12 stone ago

[anteracmacash]

@00Rend00 use kilograms

[vomitedshit]

wow, he was even ugly with hair

[TheImpactor]

@vomitedshit hey who do u think u r pendejo? somethin tells me u jealous of the guy, perhaps ran off with yo girlfriend, beat you in some comedian contest, and from then on no one would hire u for a proper job so you ended up sucking men's dicks to make money for basic survival. shit man stop hatin and just accept that u a worthless piece of shit.

[vomitedshit]

@TheImpactor pendejo? what are you, a spic? fuck off you lowlife wetback until you can address a white man with SIR

[mcgenetics]

Wow. This guy was even funny 23 years ago. I actually like his older stuff more. He used to have so much more energy on stage. I wish he would read this and say to himself, "fuck yeah, this guy is right" and he would bring it back! Less angry old man, more hyper young comic! He would be on fire again. He needs to adopt a coke habit or start smoking a little meth before he goes out on stage.

[sn00ke]

it'd be a real shame if he lost that hair

[jieuxarmeni]

@sn00ke he didn't lose his hair... it just moved to his face.

[portisalpha]

@jieuxarmeni AHAHAHAHAHA.

[Lius525]

Lol this is his 15 years shit special? So funny when you watch this now - watch carlin video where CK talks about how shitty he was. BTW its also funny how someones does his moves and grimaces yet he looks totally different.

[whatacatchmaya]

Haha, same mannerisms.

[wwwzenwww]

he looks weird without his face pubes.

[BOOMkhopadshot]

the gratuitous profanity becomes off-putting. very informative though.

[MrNickeh]

Didn't know he smoked/used to smoke :o.

[mistacramer]

He was doing standup back then? How old is he?!

[CymbalRush]

@mistacramer 20

[calebthegreat08]

@mistacramer 23

[billmarrs]

Thanks for posting this snotrockets13. It's very cool to see early Louis C.K.

[HumanManwich]

i didnt know eli manning did stand up?

[keefstreetpunk]

seems like the more hair Louis CK lost, the more his set changed

[DionKool]

Man time flies. Look at him being a young kid and being the exact same person.

[POISONJAM100]

this guy is to funny..

[itsabirditsaplane00]

Holy fuck. He's my age that is just tripping me out.

[jeffmanster888]

Catch a rising star indeed.

[borskyviolin]

He looks like skinny Kevin James.

[zekatl]

omg that is a completely different guy

[Lemmiwinks07]

he looks completely different here

[fikkid]

I wasn't born when he did this.

[dlarge20]

He's funny. I hope this kid makes it.

[theshiznut]

@dlarge20 he did

[GordonMorrice]

@dlarge20 He's too thin and hirsute to get to the top.

[grunntalll]

@dlarge20 ? he has.. ?

[BartS4177]

God damn he seems nervous by how quickly he's firing through his jokes.

[CalvinMcCaskill]

Is this clip from 1945, or after the first world war?

[pennydesouza]

Wow, I was 12 months old when he delivered this.

[p2dC]

Louis CK - proof that you can get rid of a lisp if you put your mind to it.

[GTH4250]

Can't believe it's him, but it is, over 20 years ago.

[ifrit26]

If you're an old musician and didn't make it..., it's sad, give up. If you're an old model...it's sad, give up. If you're an old painter, it's sad...give up. If you're an old comedian...look defeated, make millions. HURRAY FOR LOUIS C.K.! (( All bullshit aside, my favorite comedian ))

[hhhhdd4]

FUCK YOU TIME

[kgraham15]

at first, i was like, no, this young, non-cynical guy can't be Louis C.K....until he yelled "fuck you, you suck!" and grinned.

[jbshaver29]

he looks like jason seigal

[vanesafimbrez]

he's so young and not bald! weird... i can't take him seriously.

[vanesafimbrez]

@MetalFriendly you don't at all understand how i meant that comment. but thanks for your thoughtful, uber literal help.

[vanesafimbrez]

he's so young and not bald! weird...

[drat250]

I wish there was more!

[buhumal]

His jaw is actually visible, also all that hair....

[beelzebubblicious6]

All that glorious, thick hair...

[amarch8]

I like the dolphin part, the rest is shit. JK

[ThrashEagle]

I loooove what starts at 1:53! Masterpiece before he was a master. :P

[ThrashEagle]

I think it's great!

[ZelphKinderhook]

he was hot!

[foooooze]

It honestly wasn't that bad.

[nickwest33]

this gives me hope...

[o101011o]

bombed.

[Tyme2Die]

He's actually Mexican. WHAT THE FUCK

[Visovsiouk]

@Tyme2Die Well Actually he is American/Mexican and of Irish/Hungarian-Jewish descent. Ain't that some shit?

[Tyme2Die]

@Visovsiouk

He looks the whitest of white.

[777Atheist]

@Tyme2Die My parents are both Mexicans and my dad is White and has blue eyes, not all Mexicans are Native to that land just like here in the USA.

[xfactor0693]

Damn he looks so different

[bofeity]

looks like Finch from American Pie

[CertifiedGooner729]

@bofeity lol

[DualofChaos]

I hope I improve with age as Louis did.

[jono11]

Why does everyone think this is a bad performance?

[Megazord5]

@jono11 I think people don't like this because its just so off-putting. Louis C.K. is a totally different person now and his material is so different. He's just so unrecognizable here.

[GordonMorrice]

@jono11 Lack of diarrhea material?

[trr321321]

@jono11 Let's just say he improved greatly since this...

[FelipeVallium]

19= no kids, no marriage that means he was still Happy...

[cgystephen]

all he's missing are the rainbow suspenders 

[TheDylanarmitage]

Still fucking funny apart from the dophin intro, better than some specials i've watched in the last couple years....

[Duodecillian]

At the time was he considered funny?

[DJBiermann]

It's so comforting to know that this guy was not always a brilliant comic. To know that he opened with a dolphin jokes bit at some point, even at 19, is refreshing.

[lastnametea]

Louis CK is adorable

[zrhinier]

I don't understand the top rated comments. Is there something wrong with his act here? What do you expect? The Louis C. K. from 2011 in 1987?

[Tenchcnet]

he's 19 here

[elchoaro800]

How in the shit was his voice deeper in 1987? Oh yeah, and his material was still funny, but he has gotten a lot better.

[Sonadar9]

Hahaha holy shit Louie hasn't aged well... still love him though

[ApollosPlayground]

I was born in this year. I wish Louis CK was my father. :)

[MusicthatsStrange]

@ApollosPlayground thats just WEIRD

[ApollosPlayground]

@MusicthatsStrange So, I'm WEIRD haha

[conbonz666]

this is still funny as shit though

[ZombieChick23]

what a cutie

[Subfightr]

wow.. amazing  would NEVER have guessed it was him.

[anounceofgold]

Still funny, why did it take the world so long to realize he is one of the funniest people alive!!

[ColinRayko]

Hahaha I just realized whenever he talked about being kid in his stand up i imagined a bald fat 17 year old. it never occurred to me he would have had hair.

[Subfightr]

@ColinRayko LOLOL I TOTALLY DID TOO! LOL!!!!

[tzoures]

Shit ! I recognized the guy by the way he was scratching his ear

[EricTheGreat87]

Man... I was probably only a few months old when he did this bit.

[ksam4000]

Wow - I gotta say he's one who was NOT better looking when he was younger. Kind of reminds me of Matthew Perry....

[hyde1winterfall]

man he is soo much better now.

[SethHesio]

he is TWENTY years old here.

[noose357]

Pause it at 0:54 and that's more how he looks now. So effin crazy, young louie.

[trentWHY]

hey louie in 23 years you're gonna be balding, fat, divorced with 2 kids enjoy your life kid

[IntrovertedRapFiend]

Louie used to be an alright looking ginger?????? Getting old sucks.

[trentWHY]

@IntrovertedRapFiend ah well at least when you get old and ugly the thought of dying won't seem so bad anymore

[quintanna]

I haven't seen this before, just made my day.

[sybo59]

Dolphin jokes, jesus christ...

[nakanmbytbudallenjt]

dane Cook used to be a sperm in his daddys balls when Louis CK performed.

Louis ck GOAT of stand upcomedy!

[dmd031913j]

notice his style of forceful delivery and freaking funny expressions never changes. 20 over years and he still makes people laugh the same way.

[MrKaneShadow]

Dude his jokes are so nerdy hahaha

[lotuswight]

dudes its not him

[islezynkeez72]

@lotuswight uhhhhh YEAH it is!

[AdamQuesnellComedy]

@lotuswight no, it's him.

[Jesusismothra]

no comedian ever starts out great...it takes hours of bombing your stupid face off in front of hostile or bored crowds...23 years later, louie is the best working american stand up.

[originalstarwarsfan9]

@Jesusismothra agreed.

[trentWHY]

@Jesusismothra yeah but not only that, most of his best material are based of his life experiences, at 20 he definitely wouldn't have been able to do the jokes hes doing now

[Jesusismothra]

@trentWHY very, very true. in fact if you want to listen to one of the most enlightening interviews with Louie, check out Marc Maron's WTF podcast. amazingly insightful stuff, including his decision to change his direction in comedy from absurdist observations to something more real...

[Rocky183]

@Jesusismothra Is he that big though?

[Jesusismothra]

@Rocky183 he has his own show on FX (which is brilliant) and sells out enormous theatres doing his stand up...and he does it without compromising his material. to me, that's really big.

[Rocky183]

@Jesusismothra Yeah, you're right, I misinterpreted you. You said "best" working stand up, not "biggest". I was gonna say that unfortunately there are bigger stand ups than him, except they're mostly shit.

Oh, and great screen name, man, haha

[mepurdybum]

@Jesusismothra are you deaf or just gay? This is what laffs sound like. He's not bombing at all here!

[Jesusismothra]

@mepurdybum "Whenever I go back and watch comedy from peoples' early days its always shitty. I guess everyone sucks when they start." the comment i was responding to a YEAR ago. great job at lashing out and calling me names without even knowing the context of a comment i made so long ago. i wasn't referring to him bombing in this particular gig...more as a general bombing all comedians go through to get amazing.

next time, don't be such a reactionary ass.

[Juandingodotcom]

@Jesusismothra thats very true, but can you check out my stand up? im interested to hear what you think. its would help me out alot. thanks

[lee3nfi3ld460]

@Jesusismothra I disagree..... hes the best working comedian....... period

[timoth88]

Whenever I go back and watch comedy from peoples' early days its always shitty. I guess everyone sucks when they start.

[Liusila]

What the! It's like the REAL Louis CK somehow took over this dude's body - it's just not fucking him! :D

The Louis CK avatar...

[11825code6]

he does not look 20 at all

[tazer5]

lmao wow thats really louis ck? lol wow this is amazing, he is right his children got him fat....lol

<3 louis

[ShutDaFukUpTroll]

Louis CK at his peak.

[MissSheepgobaa]

Wow.

[thesparitan]

he still looks old and he is losing hair, dam that sucks. i think it would be impossible to not be funny if you was him. he has to laugh so he doesnt cry

[discodino]

I have red hair..haha not anymore

[InterstellarSandbox]

1987 was a great year. The vietnam war, cloning a sheep, setting foot on the moon. And the death of my mom. Great year. Bob Dole says hi.

[RazrHack]

@InterstellarSandbox You're an idiot.

SIXTY-SEVEN, you moron. That's when all that shit happened.

[DoctorJIS]

I was born this year, holy shit.

[kellyb4]

He is only 20 here! Weird...

[musicalbacon2]

wow, he had such a thick accent then, i wonder what happened to it.

i didn't understand any of the cultural references because i was born a year after this happened.

[noose357]

@musicalbacon2 You can still hear it when he does some of his harder delivered jokes, especially in chewed up. I love when it happens cuz it's really him and just makes it more unique.

[moe45673]

Like watching a kid do a Louis CK impression

[linesinaconversation]

Perfectly put.

[burkinatorous]

@moe45673 But that really is Louis CK not a kid

[ConnelClusterFuck]

he was a silly fuck

[madcow1515]

Wow, so weird seeing him that young with a full head of hair and no goatee.

[DangerousD1551]

and not red hair.

[D0g63rt]

He says its red, probably just film quality

[djpaulMS]

omg hes a kid

[austin6229]

yeah wow this was sometime ago hes funnier as he gets older lmao

[ClassicShowbiz]

Wow.

[ThousanWhite]

Cool! He looks nothing like that now, but that voice and attitude is there.
