Louis CK ... Boston comedian.

Another example of why Boston is the 'Hub of the Universe'.

Boston Standards.

Bostonism ... the One True Faith.

I worked for a Mom and Pop dvd store and I knew the taste of most of my customers, the down side to that is it was always porn after a while they get paranoid. Esp the tranny porn lovers, they always gave me these looks like "dont judge me!"

[mihaimoldo]

George Carlin : "The people suck, fuck hope" ...different context, same idea....

Nobody will accept that it's the fucking culture(and thus the people)that's degrading everything...WE ARE AT FAULT!

Wanna change smth? Start with yourself...and your family...then your friends...then your community...

[probowler09]

Not to ramble but by the way Apple spends more money on ads and promotion and appearance than most tech companies combined. They have no substance just all flash, they're like the Miami Heat of technology.

[probowler09]

By the way Bill Gates is also giving away to charity his entire fortune upon his death which is in excess of 50 billion dollars. He's also convinced hundreds of other billionaires to do the same. He's eliminating malaria in Africa while Steve Jobs is busy spending months on fonts, colors, and 40 dollar ipod covers that cost Apple 40 yuan to make in China. Apple is shit its overpriced and its stock is tbe main thing fueling the sizeable tech bubble.

[probowler09]

Apple fucking sucks they have invented absolutely nothing in their reinvention. Mp3 players, tablets, and laptops already existed all Apple did was make them thinner and sleeker as for the amount of memory that would've increased regardless of Apple because of Moores Law memory just got ridiculously cheap. Bill Gates on the other hand deserves every dollar he has he INVENTED the first personal computer software platform made laid the groundwork for everything that we have today.

[gigisandiego96]

I disagree that it is only the consumers fault -- Walmart, Starbucks, etc... they pay NO taxes, get subsidies (government corporate welfare which comes from our taxes) and pay their workers 10 cents an hour in China ---- how is this a level playing field? How can an honest mom and pop business compete when their competitors basically are allowed to cheat and steal from tax payers?

[gigisandiego96]

Bill Gates can suck it!

[NickJDay]

Love louie ck, but he lost me when he mentioned apple vs microsoft, apple is a BS company that sells mediocre products for a ridiculous amount of money while Microsoft is basically just a software company.

[Vetis213]

@NickJDay i agree and apple software is good for the clueless who dont want to do anything except what the overlords at apple say you can do.

[napoleonseven]

Cranky old man.

[AL13NM]

Americans have agreed, it is every man for himself.Me first, I got mine, fuck you.

That is the antithesis of community and society its self.

And is why we elect wealthy business men instead of civil servants to run our country.We get what we deserve.

[samuraikarasu]

Louis CK is seriously one of the funniest most depressing people on the planet. Louis needs to have his own radio show or a podcast or something. There would never be a lousy day.

[carlo88moe]

@samuraikarasu we love his lousy days, his lousy days just that much more ensures we wont have one

[thefriendsociety]

corporate america is going to be the thing that destroys america. I'm calling it now.

[bahramf]

"the 60 year olds helping 70 year old off the bus."  That was a gem that didn't get a laugh.

[fathermckenzie1]

8:43 "francois tati"... i think he meant Jacques Tati.

[fathermckenzie1]

louis is a fucking philosopher. he NEEDS to write a book. not just a joke book, but a book talking about this kind of serious cultural shit.

[vivaelscousers09]

Louis is spot on.

However we shouldn't be pointing the blame at Starbucks etc... We should be blaming ourselves. The average person would rather download an album in 3 minutes than going to their local music store and buying it, Why? Because we're fucking greedy bastards who want everything immediately.

Over here in the UK we've recently lost an old family store (Woolworths) and our only major music store (HMV) is dying. After that goes there'll be fucking nowhere to buy an actual CD/DVD. L

[mwtillotson]

@vivaelscousers09

Good -- CDs and DVDs deserve to die like rotary phones.

[wwhisko]

@mwtillotson One sizable EMP, and every downloaded movie, piece of music or e-book...is GONE. DVDs, CDs and books are a good thing. I suppose paintings should die too??? It's always good to have a hardcopy of art. Computer memory is too easily erased.

[Crusoeconomy21]

and he's dead wrong that those developments weren't better. They aren't better to him, but the buying public proved they were better to them buy going to those new stores. they proved it with their dollars and actions.

[palsaradise]

@Crusoeconomy21

Loving the fails man.

[bahramf]

@Crusoeconomy21 If you're talking about the casinos, its addiction that drives them.

[Crusoeconomy21]

This is very disappointing to hear Louis C.K. becoming the new George Carlin, that stupid Noam Chomsky of comedy.

[fathermckenzie1]

@Crusoeconomy21 you are the only person in the world who doesn't like george carlin.

[CoolerKing37]

@Crusoeconomy21 You don't like Carlin or CK? You poor fuck.

[bahramf]

@Crusoeconomy21 You're a moron dude. George Carlin was great. You're just a dumb conservative moron.

[stevenjm12]

@Crusoeconomy21 you mean the greatest comedian of all time?

[Athhippie]

I buy from the local stores when I can. but sometimes they just don't carry what I want.

I wanna just belief fuck it, if we wiped the slate clean we would end up with the same giant ass corporations over and over again. That's just the way it works.

[tedatlas]

@sfjb78

Yeah because you need mom and pop shops to keep a minimum level of community and civility . What a crock of shit. Who do you think works in big box stores? do they ship people in? the owner might be corporate but all the people who work there are locals. Louis is basically just an ignorant old fool who wants things to go back to the way they were.

[GreenStarForMayhem]

@tedatlas And what do these locals do when the corporation they worked for goes under because the CEO was cooking the books? They leave dead malls like giant, bloated corpses of capitalism.

[tedatlas]

@GreenStarForMayhem

What do locals do when the mom and pop shop goes under for whatever reason? new businesses take the place of older ones all the time. If people wanted to shop at private businesses there would be more of them. None of your boohooing about capitalist greed will change that.

Louis' argument was laughable.. "You used to be able to go into a different, weird bookstore to get different books" Great, Louis I'm gonna stop going to b&n because of that convincing argument.

[WORLDARYANREVIVAL]

@GreenStarForMayhem 1. every system leaves behind a corpse...ie . communist russia! 2. youre on media made possible by CAPITALISM  are you aware of your hypocrisy? i came from poverty! why dont you spoiled americans try living like the rest of us and then you would appreciate what u got!

final thought MOST CORPORATIONS BEGAN AS SMALL BUSINESSES!

[DrRemulack]

Was Jimmy eating during that clip?

[omgwtfitssteve]

What happened to the hour long videos? Copyright shit?

[tedatlas]

the way louis thinks just causes stagnation. I can't believe people are calling him a genius because of what he's saying.. it's right out of the lib progressive handbook.

[InsaneBillykane]

@tedatlas Louies level of intelect should be normal in every single person, but when you have wendys and the new lil wayne song out...eh who has time to think.

[dkthg]

@InsaneBillykane Yeah! I LOVE lil wayne! That coloured fellow can rap! Wait......what are you guys talkin about? And who's Louie?

[RobertGraaf]

Awesome, I've been looking forward to some new Louis Ck content

[UDavidT]

Lolol I like how Jimmy is faded out

[MsLibragurl]

[iSOBigD]

[xg4bx]

Goddamn, louie nails it every effin time. He spells out politics so well and offers a position/explanation that's literally impossible to disagree with.

[Daydream2142]
