Did Louie’s Louis C.K. really steal school scales for drug money?

ByStarcasm Staff

Last week’s episode of Louis C.K.’s FX show Louie, “Into the Woods,” was basically a whole movie. The run-time was 90 minutes with commercials as his character Louie relived his own childhood foibles with marijuana after he catches his daughter smoking pot at a concert. The details of his own teen drama around pot, and his difficult relationships with the adults in his life ring so true that it’s hard to imagine that it wasn’t partly inspired by C.K.’s own life.

This is what Louie’s Hungarian girlfriend Amia said to him

Louis C.K.’s six part story about his character Louie’s love affair with a Hungarian woman who doesn’t speak English was brilliantly bittersweet. Louis chose to not use subtitles so the audience, assuming they don’t speak Hungarian, could better feel what it was like for both of them, but in case you want to know everything Amia said to Louis, someone translated it, and we transcribed it.

VIDEOS: Ursula Parker, who plays Jane on Louie, really is a child violin prodigy

Ten-year-old Ursula Parker steals any scene she’s in on FX’s Louie as his younger daughter Jane, and that’s saying a lot because Louie is chock full of absurd wonder and deep observations. A big part of her presence on the show involves violin playing, and last night included an episode that showcased her talent.

Louis C.K. and “Louie” guest star Sarah Baker tackle the stigma of being a “fat girl”

ByStarcasm Staff

Tonight’s first episode of Louie deals with an incredibly sensitive and awkward topic; how men treat women they don’t find attractive, especially overweight women.

One of last week’s episodes dealt with Louie landing in bed with a gorgeous astronaut’s daughter in the Hamptons, a perk of making her laugh, but he was perplexed by the situation. He fumblingly tells her that this type of thing just doesn’t happen to him, and she replies, “Well, maybe it’s not really happening.” Most of Louis C.K.’s FX seems to be happening in an absurdist dream-like state, and it’s this disconnection from reality that allows it to go to some startling realistic territory.
