Louis CK put up Oh My God, which includes an extended version with jokes that were cut from the HBO airing.

Haven't seen it yet, so I don't know any specifics.

I'm not practicing, but I think maybe like if you do some crowd work in those situations? Like say something like "yeah, it's pretty bad" with a knowing nod as soon as you hear the gasp. Something like that.

Burr is the first comedian that once I heard one of set of his I had too look out every thing available straight away. I think he is top of the pile currently. Hilarious dude.

Watching his "You People" show and i'ts really good

Just gotta say, he has a weird & smooth forehead for a guy who does a bit on facelifts looking weird. dunno might just be me

I didn't like it very much, and I really wanted to.

It was just unfocused & all over the place, and he spent way too much time making noises & faces. In the bat story there was a bit where he says that he'd just been going on with it until the applause stopped & that kinda seemed like describing the whole show.

I haven't seen the new CK (I've downloaded it, just haven't gotten around to watching it), so I might come back and change my tune, but I support a comedian who gets massively famous doing a thing and decides to completely switch gears and do something different (be it a throwback to his/her older style or a totally new one).

He's adopted the Carlin model of "a special a year". Like Carlin, they aren't all going to be winners, but he's pushing himself as a comic and, in my book, that alone deserves respect.

Yeah, I don't mind that he wants to switch it up & there's definitely room for a few flukes here & there when a show is only 5 bucks. And I might even love it on a later rewatch, it was just so very different from what I expected that it didn't work for me. Anyway I just watched him on Letterman from this week, I guess the night before the Comedy Store special came out, and he makes a lot of jokes about people not liking him at Madison Square Garden & Mitzi whoever at the Comedy Store. I thought that was pretty funny in light of a bunch of reactions in this thread.

Also, what Senor Tron said. Most active Danish comedians I can think of put out a new show at least every couple years. I guess America is big enough that a comedian who has put together a good set can basically live off that for decades, or could anyway before youtube & iphones.

Back in the late 90s an American friend gave me a CD of some I think Maryland morning zoo radio show "Kirk Mark & Lopez" and on that CD was a bit where this guy Pablo Francisco was in the studio and he kills it, I loved it. Then like 10-15 years later I see randomly that he's on I think Comedy Central, and it's pretty much the exact same bits. To be honest, it's kind of impressive.

What do you think: thievery, homage or coincidence?

As I read it, the snowman is an homage. He's not saying that fixing the tape is harder than putting a hat on a snowman, it's more like the snowman is his helper and he's thanking it with the hat, the snowman being the original comic, and the reference being the hat.

Like a rapper quoting a hook, basically.

Just wrapping up a stay in NYC, and saw Louis CK drop in unannounced at the Comedy Cellar to try 50 new minutes of new material. Went to UCB to check out Whiplash the next night, and he dropped in to do the same thing with a few new premises and small bits of wording change. It was near to see into his process like that.

What kinda material was he doing? Funny voices stuff or like Conan O'Brien cellphone stuff?

I think ASMR stuff is like if you have no human contact at all in your life, listening to a pretty lady say sweet things into your ear might be pretty nice. I dunno, though. I doubt it would be A Thing at all if the people who are into it just asked their girl-/boyfriends to whisper sweet nothings to them though.

God if he stays in comedy and doesn't do a Moranis. Oswalt can get dark, but if he really just goes there without abandon? I'm a litty nervous (it'll be good obvs but someone might die).

I really hope he and their daughter are with other family and/or friends. It comforts so much to know you're in a safe place and everyone knows you and loves you and knows what happened.
