Louis C.K.: Chewed Up

The main topics of this show are curse words, being fat, children and sex. He wraps up these topics in hilarious stories like he always does and he isn't afraid to talk about controversial subjects. But that's about it. I feel like these are all random topics that Louis had something to say about thrown together to make a funny show. There were no real transition between his stories and there was no criticism on society, which is what I love about Louis' other stand-ups.

I love Louis' delivery and he really knows how to keep a crowd going. He isn't afraid to talk for a long time without any laughs, just to set up a joke. On a comedy level this is a hilarious show, but what I am missing is a hidden meaning, a message, something that connects his stories and makes them a complete show.

With "Louis C.K.: Chewed Up" being Louis C.K.'s second one-hour stand-up show, I have to say I liked his first one, "Louis C.K.: Shameless", better, but this is still an excellent sample into Louis' comedy.

Louis is performing in Boston in 2006.

I love him. I love his show. And I love his takes on risky subject matters. I'm not sure how he gets his material. He must take the word fagget as a dare and he has to make it funny as a straight man. It's always fascinating how his humor also makes the audience think. It's a different way to look at the n-word. I just love the way his comedic unconventional takes on certain things. Of course, he also does the more traditional jokes about him being fat, unhealthy and old as well as jokes about his kids and his incompetent sex life especially with a cat.

The death of George Carlin has left a huge hole in the world of stand-up comedy. Carlin was one of the only comedians left who would talk about absolutely anything, give his honest opinions, and make the jokes he wanted to make without caring for a second what anyone else thought. He was completely fearless and never once considered political correctness. Louis C.K. takes the same approach as Carlin did, but adds his own spin on it. He may not be quite in the same league as Carlin yet, though after sitting through 'Chewed Up' tonight for the third time, I have a feeling he may someday get there. Topics included in this special include being fat, political correctness, race, and sex. These are all common topics among comedians, however, Louis C.K. talks about the subjects without holding back for one second, never stopping to consider if he shouldn't be saying what he is about to say. He doesn't play it safe. As a result, there is more truth in his act than one is likely to see anywhere else. The only reason I don't give the special a 10 is I saw C.K. perform some of the same material live before the initial airing so seeing it taped wasn't quite as fulfilling. 9/10

Louis CK is one of the best comedians to live. This special reflects that. His material is smart, even when it's raunchy. Hes not crude for sale of being crude, people that don't understand his humour would think that. He is a way of saying things and manages to place where most of us would be jailed for. This is genius.

This is a blast from the past for me. I will never forget watching this stand up special for the first time back in 2008 and laughing uncontrollably. There is something about Louis C. K.'s approach to his dark, awful, insane, and raunchy humor that is a blast of light, especially at the time. It can definitely be out dated in the modern world, and too much for many people, but the world was a different place in 2008.

This is by far and away Satire in this comedy special and should not be taken seriously, although, that is excuse to be in a horrible person in the modern world.

This is a monumental Stand-Up special for me, and really launch the career of Louis C. K.

The Comedy in this is astoundingly profane and vulgar. Watch at your own risk.

I guess you could say this is a Documentary about the life of Louis C. K. as told by Louis C. K. in the late era of the 2000's.

All in all, I would recommend this is you like stand-up comedy and can find him in the demented and unfiltered.
