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