Louis CK - 1996 - Comedy Half Hour (part 1 of 3)

[thatsgoodtoast]

listen to louie's cd "live in houston." it's amazing, and a lot of jokes from this are in it. also, the more you listen to it, the more you realize how much material dane cook stole from it. dane cook needs to stop being such a faggot

[tmh72385]

>HBO

>bleeps

wut?

[AFriendOfAxel]

it's fun to see how his comedy gets darker and darker about his relationship with his ex-wife throughout the years.

I love this dude :)

[Taintain101]

he looks SO different back then!

[marioJace]

wow he is very different then he is now 

[VompoV]

@marioJace When George Carlin died he said that basically the things (this and before) were shit and that he got influenced by Carlin to become the comedian that he is now.

[ServeTheBeaver]

Wow, Dane Cook stole the first joke. Ha.

[braddyboy82]

Damn... Louis CK was 29 when this was taped. I am 29. I have a similar hairline. FML. At least I am naturally thin.

[Conspiracyknowledge]

HOLY SHIT!! i thumbed this guy down out of mistake. i now deserve 1000 thumbs down!

[VigilanteMind]

For all of his talk about being fat, he seems to have lost quite a bit of weight.

[gangstawanksta022]

@VigilanteMind this was in 1996 idiot...look at the title of the video

[ferise1]

In Europe there's no pressure for stupid people, they think it's cute...

It's the other way around... crazy is frowned upon and hated...

In europe, aim for stoopid! :)

[eanders121]

wow dane cook ripped this shit off soooo bad. dane cook is a no talent ass clown

[DCdeerZ]

Dane Cook stole the shit out of the first bit.

[anurek123]

@DCdeerZ yeah dane cook that bastard. he has no talent he steals bits and stuff. fucking phoney.

[wilsonsmilk]

don't get me wrong i like the guy as well. but that's mr carlins bit ryt?

[deathbyjypsy]

I cried at 4:10 and then passed out due to the lack of air

[j0hnbr0ck]

Didnt even recognize him at first

[thagooeyjuice]

Shit! I'll marry him!!!

[BismuthWasTaken]

3:23 worst deception of my entire life right there.

[DAMC95]

there is no likes or dislike bar lol ?

[bensimps123]

gervais wasent even known then

[YouLikeBosch]

Dane Cook stole the first joke he uses in this video, probably more.

[cobhcmofo313]

@YouLikeBosch you know how many people have done the same joke??? since before HBO was even an idea people have used eachothers jokes and restrung them into different senerios and styles. nothing is original anymore, specially being original

[BrightEyes10003]

eat a bag of shit, cunt face

[jimmyhayers]

@cobhcmofo313 Yeah but other people are funny, Dane Cook is not.

[DrewMongo]

Seth Rogan sound like him

[skinwalkerxxx]

Louis' humour it seems was always very Seineld in picking on ordinary stuff in life but Louis is funnier because he got even further with it.

[InglebertHumperdink1]

@skinwalkerxxx Seinfeld has been funny once and awhile. Louis, especially in his later stuff is a timing master of his bits, its the pauses in between that really kill. he has great delivery.

[Flanigen]

His very first joke about the getting hit by a car door is similar to , very similar to, the Dane Cook joke of being hit by a car. wtf mr. cook?

[ErikAssbag]

@Flanigen search dane cook steals from louis ck, there are more

[fpsexcellence]

The first joke is kind of stupid, you could just yell "CAR!". That literally has all the info you need.

[MrByrne0]

@fpsexcellence ... but that's not funny. I think you're missing the point of comedy.

[Kroellmaster]

The bitterer he becomes, the better he gets! <3

[kkc0161]

In this video he reminds me of Matthew Perry.

[vaidisuh]

young Louis CK looks like Troy Duffy, the director of The Boondock Saints

[MGingrichify]

How fucking gay was that intro?

[em129836]

@MGingrichify lmao

[pantone204]

@MGingrichify Some people should stay away from After Effects, granted it was a long time ago...



[funnyhead6]

yep, this proves dane cook steals jokes

[skizzurrp]

"I don't really tan, I just kind of burst into flames." freaking hilarious

[TheJokeRuse]

His opening joke was funnier before he stole it from dane cook

[ilov3hotsaucexxx]

@TheJokeRuse are you serious? Please tell me you're just trolling. I thought it was common knowledge that dane cook steals most of his jokes, and specifically, he steals a lot of louis ck's. Dane Cook is a piece of shit who doesn't deserve the title of comedian.

[amt409]

@TheJokeRuse ummm this is from 1996... dane cook obviously came AFTER louis c.k. dane cook stole it from him. enough said

[madefortv2]

@TheJokeRuse no.stop. before i catch your stupid

[GuidoIsMyRealName]

@TheJokeRuse Yes, Louis C.K. went forward in time, stole Dane Cook's joke, then went back to 1996. Great logic.

[paulwritesfights]

@GuidoIsMyRealName ya its hard to fix a flux capacitor

[xa1a]

@TheJokeRuse Your a fucking moron.

[em129836]

@TheJokeRuse stfu and go suck lame cooks's unfunny dick fag

[1800powerslide]

dane cook isn't even that funny ''/

[Be1smaht]

wow he looks soooooooo different. age is  a " u know what" his humor is really diff. too.

[gutstotake]

Dane Cook stole his first joke.

[Hagathorthegr8]

@gutstotake Dane Cook has stolen a lot of jokes, including several of Louis CK's, he just tells them in such a different style that he thinks that makes it okay

[SceneXqueenXYT]

im going to the floor you know NOTHIN about man!

[lazur1]

Try STOP!

[SaintAndyBenson]

Hahahaha. "Television movie premiere of Slackers" ad..

[giorgi89]

is there a non censored version?!

[raveable]

haaaaaaandsome

[CraigMetalHead]

Whoever made that intro needs to die... could have put the effort in to introduce LOUIS CK! Didnt he know Louis CK would be the BEST?!

[Crunchy1fresh]

Just an FYI all the notable joke stealers share the same big-star comedy manager named Barry Katz who encourages them to "borrow" jokes from the "community" cause "we're all in this together, right?"

Fucking pathetic.

[mr1985able]

The only thing Dane Cook could do that would be funny is suck a cock, videotape it and post it online for everybody to see.

[ChiTownSaint420]

fuck dane cook, why are people even talking about that doucher

[wepmajoe]

He's gotten so much better than this. This isn't bad though. 

[LovesVeritas]

I absolutely love this guy. I was wondering if he would be as funny earlier on in his career since I've mostly seen his later stand up... And he certainly is. <3

[MsAppassionata]

Bands steal music and comedians steal jokes. What else is new. Get over it.

[MoRgUe27]

@MsAppassionata fuck that, if they are going to steal someone else's creative work, they deserve nothing but ridicule

people with your attitude are the reason they get away with it

[nongo]

is he in his late 20's here?

[badskroy71]

@nongo Yeah, about 29. Strangely as younger as he looks here, for some reason I always picture him in his 40s the way he looks now, so it's hard for me to picture him here as looking like he's in his late 20s.

[RamboNorris]

Comedians steal jokes all the time. What's the big deal...

[extremepietbh]

@RamboNorris The big deal is that comedians steal jokes all the time

[Immortalmurph]

Dane cook ripped this off and stretched it to 90 minutes...what a cock.

[theMilosr93]

I like the intro, and Louie is awesome.

[TheMrsGandy]

Gonna see him in Chicago in June. CAN'T WAIT!!!

[nathan5972]

he said SAN FRAN SISCOOOOO just the way a person from there would say it.

[2senagiggles2]

Its just weird seeing him with hair!! lol

[BetterThanYou2468]

@2senagiggles2 I KNOW!

[emello4you]

@2senagiggles2 Lol yeah but look how receded it already was...

[iChesus]

this is sweet cause back in the 90's... so it's the material he did for like 15yrs and MASTERED before starting to abandon his 1hr every year and start from scratch

[cucho911]

respect.

[Frankay615]

wow, amazing crowd, and louie was on firrrrre this night. had his material DOWN for this special. killed it.

[chippedpolish7]

omg, he's almost unrecognizable.

[redheadcover]

I like how this clip is him with his girlfriend.

Then

His First special he is married

Then

His Second special he is divorced.

[DrinkSkateSleep]

@redheadcover No third..

[tds019]

@DrinkSkateSleep yeah that's right, he's still married in the second one

[jtapia1123]

@redheadcover he wasnt divorced until hilarious, his 4th hbo standup, not even the comedy central ones

[bobswagget]

@redheadcover he was married well after his second special. good observation however.

[Killinemdead1]

@redheadcover thank you fucko

[MrVinushka]

@redheadcover No.

This clip is him with his girlfriend.

Then his subsequent THREE specials he is married.

Then his fourth he is divorced.

[gbellavable]

@redheadcover wait, what? he is married... no? I don't get it. :3

[FinchReznor]

haha! he really did have hair!

[CommonAtheist]

How retarded is Comedy Central that they bleep out curse words? The FCC only controls over-the-air broadcasts (not cable) so C.C. self-censors because they want to, not because they have to. Who exactly are they protecting with their censorship? 7 year olds with delicate sensibilities? Have parents ever threatened to boycott CC's advertisers because they let comedians say "shit" ? Seriously, what's the logic behind those long annoying fucking beeps?

[ChozzieBoy]

Ahhhh get outta here ya STUPID!

[alsamude]

he sounds like seth rogen sometimes

[CoolerKing37]

Dane stole that movie theater joke @ 6:32 too

[everall23]

@CoolerKing37 Yeah, it does suck- fucking Dane.

[rsx123]

He looks way better now.

[kimroxmysox]

It's interesting to see how along the years he seeme to just, you know... stop caring. Totally.

But still hilarious.

[biglebonski]

I never got the point of bleeping out words. This guy can tell the greatest insults, but saying Fuck?? No, can't have that. So stupid.

[000MidnightSun]

louis ck rules

[eyesack9]

LCK doesn't care about Dane Cook stealing his jokes. It gives him more exposure when cook's fans figure it out.

[Cajaroto]

5:18 black guys have good taste in girls

[groundzer077]

Louis looks like Simon Peg in the vid.

[mackenzieeful]

wow dane cook really did steal this

[MCJay2daSun]

so this is where dane cook got his hit by car joke from...

[aphexaic3213]

bob kelly is bff with dane and bob kelly is on louie and they are good friends as well....how is this possible??

[DeathWithinTenSteps]

Unbelievable, Dane Cook just fucking stole it. Word for word, just ripped it off.

What a fucking a-class asshole!

I knew he stole a lot of his material but this is fucking rediculous.

[TheAwsomerifficDude]

@DeathWithinTenSteps he did steal the joke but he didn't take it word for word

[SylvanaForrester]

OMG he's so adorable and young here. Love him.

[SleezySeegs]

dane cook stole his first joke.

[HarxMLeth]

I havent come across one single video with Louis CK in it where Dane Cook isnt mentioned in the comments.. I think its rather pathetic.

[JoeDeceiver]

@HarxMLeth It's more pathetic to steal other comedians material, though.

[runtheplacered]

@HarxMLeth

This one video in particular is notable for a joke that Dane Cook stole. So, of course people are going to mention it..

[roflQQless]

@HarxMLeth

stfu

[zedio369]

i think he was funnier back then, but he;s stuill hilarious none the less

[cyfuse]

@hehfilms Shut the fuck up.

[cmcconnaughy]

@hehfilms lol knocking someone for hating while saying that CK is good is kinda hilarious bro

[Hadasengel]

suck on my nut sack dude../ -_-

[youngobes]

fuck dane cook

[thebigbadjohnsmith]

HEAD LIKE A FUCKING ORANGE

[FlashMeterRed]

woah hair!

[veronicachic]

ughhhhhh censored D:

[chAOStoob]

oh why must censorship exist?

[jsapprules]

I've never liked Dane Cook. My grandmother was funnier.  Louis C.K. rocks!

[rezmoneynwkubs]

boy am i glad that whoop whoop whoop whoop shit stopped at comedy shows like 2 years after this.

[matasarusrex]

dane cook stole the first joke this guy said! lol

[jacjaccherry]

i LOVE the restaurant clip!

[KirbyOnCronic]

god, I fuckin hate when ppl sit right next to you when there's a room full of empty seats!

[ThePokeyPictures]

those booers,ate there words

[NickVlaze]

is the girlfriend he's talking about now his wife?

[SprocketPeeps]

@NickVlaze is that wife you're talking about now his ex-wife?

[hiwol88]

classic

[electriclimits]

i believe it could be possible to steal a joke and not know how it happened? are we trying to assert that dane cook isn't funny here? i don't get it.

[Dolf9271986]

@electriclimits That's just the thing and that's why people are mad at him. Because he's being funny with other peoples jokes making a lot of money off of them while the comedians who actually own the jokes are not, and that's obviously stupid.

[Rationalization]

@electriclimits Yes, and if u look at the joke comes close to saying it word for word.

[spope12100]

r u suggesting tht anyone wud dare steal dane cook joke? omg dane cook's so funny

[JMPiazza17]

no dane cook stole is jokes.

[heathertreat]

Holy crap. yeah I've watched a lot of comedians and thought "where did i hear that joke" oh yeah, dane cook! he stole it. so lame. if you can't write your own shit, don't do comedy.

[SeamusMcGullicudy]

@heathertreat You do realize that this came out in '96 right? And being that Dane Cook didn't show up until what? 2000? 2001? Unless Dane Cook has a time machine and there's no way Louis CK could have stolen a Dane Cook show in '96.

[DjDiddlez117]

this came out years before dane cook. dane stole the jokes

[PlaneettaKaravaanari]

@DjDiddlez117 I think heathertreat meant Dane Cook stole the joke...

[amitpaul7]

dude ur a fuckin retard for not realizing that this came out more than a decade b4 dane cook did that joke

[dabearcubbullhawks]

@heathertreat your retarded, if you cant think before you type, dont type

[Lunatic4ever]

hes really funnier nowadays,nevertheless...a great guy

[Thegoldplague]

Everyone thinks that Dane Cook steals jokes. And (me NOT being a Dane Cook fan) I can say yes he has stolen jokes. But the people that think he's funny don't give a shit. Because he makes them laugh. And I've 'kinda' laughed at some of "his" jokes before. But honestly... who gives a shit if he steals them. If you don't like him, don't watch him. bottom line is the media made him big. Also people just want to be entertained. And People just want entertainment. using 2 of 5 senses. being i's&ears.

[jacksawild]

elvis never wrote a song... comedy *is* 99 percent performance anyway.... who's dane cook?

[CraigMetalHead]

Music and comedy are different, stealing jokes among comedians is THE worst thing you can do.

[TheBloodypimp]

@CraigMetalHead why is it different??? what musician likes to have his work stolen or mangled???

[ThaUrbanMunkee]

@TheBloodypimp for example: Rappers sample all the time and they make million with it

[samo642]

That doesn't justify theft

[blahblahblahEMILY]

i's? are you familiar with the word "eyes"?

[MischiefMaker37]

The whole Denis Lary steals jokes thing os ridiculous

him and bill hicks go in complete different directons most of the time

[ch1mpanzeethat]

This is awesome but i can't believe how much his delivery has changed now. It's all good but i don't think Dane Cook could steal his shit these days.

[olepr0]

4:55 Hilarious

[D119heavy]

is Louis pissed that Dane Cook stole so much of his (Louis') original material? Its not even like Cook is subtle about it in some instances -- like the bike joke and the children's names bit.

it reminds me of Denis Leary's blatant thievery of Bill Hicks' great, original material.

It's always too bad when mediocre comics get credit for hilarious material written by great comics -- it'd be like if some random band played "Stairway to Heaven", not as a cover, but as if it were their own song

[yourlocalmusic]

I like Dane and Louis both. Sure, many of the jokes are similar, if not, the same. But when my favorite band does a cover song, they don't instantly suck. I enjoy it cuz they make it their own. Comedy is the same way. You can cover jokes just like you can cover a song. If it is funny, fuckin' laugh.

[D119heavy]

The difference is that when a band covers a song it is obvious and they give credit where credit is due.

When dane cook and denis leary steal jokes they do it as if the material is their own, misleading the audience into thinking they are funnier than they actually are.

[kingofepic]

Agreed.

[mrfool2]

@D119heavy YES!

[qwertyuiopdan1]

did you compare dane cook to louis ck? i will track you down and slowly kill your entire your family you dirty fuck.

[ZackPotts1221]

@qwertyuiopdan1

r u serious? over youtube...

[troidltroidltroidl]

dane cook = untalented thief

[crkxza]

dane cook stole my wife and kids

=(

[ricoismybitch]

@crkxza  your kids too ?! what a fucking asshole ! :))

[torment3d]

wow, Dane Cook stole stuff from this as well. Amazing. Is there no limit to his comedy theft?

[niktp]

@torment3d it's not even that he steals. it's just that he sucks, really. he's the comic for frat boy morons and naive teenagers.

[VexT916]

Yup, I can so relate... better to be feared than looked upon as "stupid!" haha.

[IranahyeNotVTEC]

dane cook should suck a bag of dicks

[Jotyajdh]

@IranahyeNotVTEC +1

[SmokeDef007]

@IranahyeNotVTEC i second that statement

[bunnialchemistmeep]

@IranahyeNotVTEC

Dane Cook copied a lot of his earlier work from other comedians, but his newer stuff is more original.

[fireqween]

@bunnialchemistmeep I think I remember seeing oen of his recent shows and he stole one of Louis's jokes. I think.

[MrSantaClaws1001]

@IranahyeNotVTEC

you should too.

[RAMSBONES]

this guy cracks me up

[zmrj3000]

rather they thought i was crazy than stupid lol !!! louis u r awesome !!

[austin6229]

LMAO!!!! the peach ahahah

[VinnyWS6]

Wow the 1st joke was stolen by dane cock.

[thelegendarysky]

But it's not the 1st joke dane cook stole

[blink234234234]

dane cook stole it from him nub

[benzagel]

I watch a lot of standup, and Dane Cook is at the very bottom of the list. His comedy is just based on really loud delivery rather than being clever.

i wish i could 5 star this man!
