He's also an idiot and a snake oil merchant.
Let's not forget that Louis CK also basically called victims of a school shooting 'snowflakes' in a really hateful and unfunny bit of return stand-up. He's a low life and people like David Hogg have showed much more courage than he ever could muster.
That's your problem. And don't blame us- we were just answering your question. If you didn't want to hear the answers you shouldn't have created the thread. Says alot about you that you like these people and then bitch when your question gets answered.
I mean that sounds pretty funny not defending him but that sounds pretty funny.
I do think it is lame how after every comedian puts out a special there are inevitably a load of clickbait articles that take some "shocking" thing they said totally out of context, and then everyone reposts it and argues about it. However I'm not bothered enough to join in the arguments.
That's true of course. I didn't want to talk about me though. I started this thread because I have had a couple of arguments on here about liking them that disrupted the conversation. I don't idolise them, I just really enjoy their work and thought it might be productive to discuss what they are on about and why they get so much hatred.
You're a sick, twisted piece of shit if you find that funny.

This. Though he does go for people who are “controversial”, which includes some dodgy people as well as the interesting ones.
By saying it's funny you are defending him and you are stupid to not notice that.
For real? I think you need to get a sense of perspective.
No- you do. That wasn't even comedy, it was just a hate-filled far-right rant that CK did. Don't fucking lecture me on 'perspective' you idiot.
No, the horrible thing is that people have had a go at me and it's not in the spirit of why I keep coming back here.
The thing about school shootings was him attacking the news for exploiting kids who were in one of the school shootings by interviewing them about gun control in America. It was a leaked tape of a joke that he was trying out when he started doing short sets in comedy clubs. It was 'sick' in the same way that the Chris Morris stuff in the 90s was 'sick' where you attack tabloids by exaggerating their moralising
Fucking hell- has Marty1 invited some of his friends on to this site?! Fuck off you far-right cunts!
That's bollocks, he wasn't criticising the media, it was an out and out attack on victims of a school shooting.

I think most of us would agree that that is a bad thing. I haven’t heard it btw, and am not v. familiar with Louis CK generally.
Me neither... It depends if it was done tastefully I guess.
The funny part of the joke was that they were 16 and they were being interviewed on the news discussing gun control as experts.

This is incorrect. He was objecting to them testifying to congress.
I mean none of this sounds roll on the floor funny, yet.

I don’t think “tasteful” is necessarily possible. It would depend on context and who the target is, though.

But seriously: there are tons of reasons to legitimately attack Louis CK as a person, and also his work... but blatantly making up something he didn't actually say doesn't do anyone any good.
^ that joke above, if that was it, i mean it isn't particularly funny and is a bit of a lazy shock joke but it very obviously isn't what count cuckula was saying it was eh.

Ok, that is kind of the same thing only more though. They are not experts, they are victims of gun violence. The target is not the kids, it's them being promoted to expert level by powerful people. I can see the joke, it's not something that I could make funny, but I can see the intent.

So the point is that he really means it? Who should be called as expert witnesses on school shootings then?

You don't think victims of crime should be heard by those in power?
bah it's not a joke with a serious point, it's just a throwaway shock joke, it's meaningless.
You know what jokes I do think are actually bad though? Those lame transgender jokes that literally every male american comedian does. Jeees for one they are SOO lazy and overdone a million times, they are so dumb, and for another they actually make life worse by increasing hate crimes. Have at him for those jokes.

Experts
The joke is that they are promoted to experts because they survived an atrocity. Like if I fell off a cliff it doesn't make me an expert at climbing.

I'm asking who you would think is an expert on school shootings and why the testimony of an eye witness would be of no interest. 'Experts' is not an answer.

I’ve obv been out of the loop but am happy to remain ignorant of this particular joke.
