In this interview, Louis CK goes from offering a truly insightful explanation of the fallout from Tracy Morgan’s controversial “homophobic” joke, to ending the interview with (and this is the actual transcript): The “Mona Lisa” is supposedly the greatest painting ever, too. Louis CK has said things I admire as artistry, like “their hands look like guns,” which has the same superconcentrated, “coal-into-diamond”-like quality as the four-line poem that launched the career of Margaret Atwood. Nasty capitalist that I am, I teared up reading about how he did it, and no, I’m not being sarcastic. I got off seeing him making $200,000 in four days $750,000 last week $1-million in about 10 days by taking a risk and trusting/rewarding his huge fan base. Look, I feel stupid even saying this: Louis CK’s effortlessly natural delivery really is a joy to behold. Maybe I’m just being a contrarian (see above) in the face of desperate non-stop hipster boosterism - Louis CK has quickly become the Kevin Smith of non-obese beta males - or maybe I stubbornly can’t shake that first impression. Bush for eight years, and did it so brilliantly that some readers didn’t realize Frank J voted for the guy, twice.īut those drunk tweets of Louis CK were just turds. When Sarah Silverman says, “When I say ‘gay,’ I just mean it like ‘retarded,’” I laugh (and steal the line). So my first impression of Louis CK was, unfortunately, his drunk tweets about Sarah Palin and Trig. Here’s the problem: we don’t get FX here in Canada, and your Comedy Central is a bit different than ours. But the people I’m about to discuss rarely, if ever, made me laugh. Maybe you’ll be driven to call me lots of mostly unimaginative names in the comments below. Great: we’re now facing months of witless hagiography about these two “daring, transgressive, brave” performers, and the rest of the progressive comedy pantheon of heroic martyrs. I started thinking about overrated liberal comedians this week, when news broke that a fawning, big budget Smothers Brothers biopic is in development.
We simply hold that when the Commission finds that a pig has entered the parlor, the exercise of its regulatory power does not depend on proof that the pig is obscene.(Hell, I prefer The Monkees to The Beatles…)īut here’s the first “pop culture” contrarianism I’m a teensy bit afraid to confess in public: Justice Sutherland wrote, a ‘nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place, like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard’. You can hear the seven dirty words here: In March 2015 the Library of Congress honored George Carlin by placing his Class Clown album, with its famous seven dirty words monologue, on the National Recording Registry, a preserved collection of America’s greatest cultural, artistic and historical recordings. The monologue with the seven dirty words ( “Filthy Words”) is available on the CD Class Clown (1972) and then in a different version, “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television” on Operation Foole (1973). You can find the words in the Supreme Court’s opinion, but you just can’t hear them on the radio (or network television). In case you were wondering, the seven dirty words are: shit, piss, cunt, fuck, tits, cocksucker, and motherfucker. The Pacifica Foundation, which owned WBAI, took an appeal to the Supreme Court. A listener complained and the FCC issued WBAI a citation for broadcasting obscene material. At one point the monologue was broadcast on WBAI, a nonprofit radio station in New York City. Pacifica Foundation, decided on this day, the Court upheld the FCC in a 5–4 vote, ruling that seven words in a routine by the comedian George Carlin could be banned in radio broadcasts.Ĭomedian George Carlin developed a routine that used a host of dirty words, to great comic effect.
