Whatsoever hazard y'all recollect Louis C.K.'southward Parenting Hall of Fame–worthy chip from 2007'southward Shameless well-nigh 1 of his daughters regaling his and then-wife with the story of a dog-sighting? "I'm telling mama, not you lot." (C.Chiliad.'s fell, amazing follow-up: "What, you think I actually give a shit almost the dog you saw? Like that was gonna be an awesome story, that you saw a fuckin' canis familiaris?") That'due south where we resume season three'southward showcase of Louie's fatherhood, but with his younger girl Jane (Ursula Parker) attempting to elicit enthusiasm from her sister Lilly (Hadley Delany), then burning her dad when he tries to jump in.
C.K. displays two of his persistent tropes through his fictionalized daughters hither: Jane tells a joke hinging on a actual part (mermaids dwelling in pee rather than water), while Lilly follows up a pair of absurdist knock-knock jokes with what could often stand as a tagline for Louie itself: "If you don't get information technology, yous just don't get it."
In an unusually direct editorial transition of life-to-stage, we come to the requisite stand-up bit, based on a wildly unpredictable joke Louie'south daughter told him. C.Yard.'s stage presence is so at ease these days. Dig up One Dark Stand up or fifty-fifty (again) Shameless and compare how close to the surface the not-quite-40-twelvemonth-old C.K.'southward eagerness to elicit laughs was. Now his joke-telling has synced more or less completely with his truth-telling.
Following Louie onstage is 57-twelvemonth-old stand-upward veteran Allan Havey, whose more classical, joke-oriented prove is interesting to consider directly after C.K.'s (don't fret about the absenteeism of dick jokes, however; older gentleman, Bing Crosby–channeling dick jokes abound). The reason for C.K.'s first utilise of a fellow road warrior this season: Louie, who tends to dislike people and doing things, volition begrudgingly dine at Allan'south domicile.
It's great to meet the motorcycle dorsum, huh? It'southward fun to imagine viewers who didn't grab the last episode of a sudden being forced to reckon with the thought of schlubby Louie riding a hog, and it'south hysterical for everyone who did catch last week'due south hospitalizing crash to now meet Louie has stupidly kept the bike. He putts his style out to Merrick, New York, accompanied past his French motorcycling soundtrack, to get set up with the mom from The Fighter at Havey's business firm. Oscar winner Melissa Leo's Laurie is way also serious and put-together for Louie'southward taste; she owns a landscaping business and a couple of clam shacks, and drives a pickup truck in which a number of things will soon transpire.
But first in that location'south an awkward knives-scraping-plates dinner — "Yes, I'm a comedian," Louie deadpans through a mouthful of chicken and spinach when prodded to talk about himself. A marriage-fight betwixt Havey and his onscreen wife drives Louie and Laurie to a bar, where they're warmly lit and having a blast — Leo laughs beautifully; C.K. chuckles harder than we've ever seen him practice. The two land on their mutual opposition to spousal relationship as the perfect grounds for a hookup … just as before long as Laurie drives them, virtually certainly drunkenly, to a Dumpster alley.
"Whip it out!" Laurie entices Louie, which, as Tammy Wickilinis will adjure, yous don't take to tell the guy twice. Next comes payback time — "strap on the feedbag," Laurie insinuates, getting comfy. In a catastrophically sick-timed moment of discourse-ing, Louie opines that that'due south "very intimate," he "doesn't really know" her, and he'southward merely apartment-out not going in that location. "[Fellating me] doesn't seem like a big deal for you, but for me it would exist, to do that, to you. We just have different values about that," he says, and so sincere and so unaware. We're in Michael Scott forehead-smacking territory hither, and only going deeper. Louie, un-self-consciously deep in his mire of life values, says Laurie's totally not a whore, simply that he'd experience whorish in her position. Would've been nice to run across C.One thousand. more overtly acknowledge the uncomfortable oral sex activity double standard at play, only the scene's got a lot going for information technology, and both of them are shown pretty squarely equally in the right and wrong.
Laurie sears through a handful of stages — anger, Obama-blaming, bargaining, accusing Louie of homosexuality — earlier finally arriving at the logical endpoint, which is rape. Argue this if y'all want, but a adult female cracking a human's head into a car window, climbing upon his stunned caput and growling "lick it or I'll break your finger!" with a bloodthirsty war face … is female person-on-male rape, making a rare televised appearance. The shock is so potent it raises the question of why Louie is absurd with going out once more.
Then we're closing with a wonderful transition from the head-great-and-mounting rape dorsum to the C.K. family dinner table. And here, almost similar a DVD actress, is Lilly'south telling of the gorilla joke. And it's simply as good as Louie said information technology was.
Stray Observations
• My wife tried out Louie's daughter's "Who didn't allow the gorilla into the ballet?" on our v-year-one-time; she kickoff tried "the gorilla'southward mom?" then moved onto Lilly'southward verbal punch line, which she didn't "get," although she guessed. Takeaway: C.K. knows kids.
• The stand-upwards bit about Louie being the first asshole his girl will ever have to cope with. Transcendent. And Louie calling his girl human being, too.
• For 1 of the kickoff times, Louie's offspring take become the source cloth for something to laugh with rather than at. We'll take either, just this new have is fresh and welcome.
• Prior to season two, C.K. told New York he wanted to movie in a Gray'south Papaya. Here we've got a Papaya Domestic dog scene.
• Laurie invokes the F-word — fairness — when Louie won't reciprocate her oral favor. Last time Louie spoke on fairness was to his daughter, over a mango pop.
• C.One thousand. will show himself as a thoughtful and present male parent, but he'due south also happy to bear witness that the thanklessness of the job grates on him. "Yeah, daddy, it's actually squeamish how you lot make food for u.s.a. all the time and clean up afterward. Well, jeez, girls, your appreciation actually makes information technology all worth it, y'know."
