    I think Hollywood continues to give him a pass as long as he’s not on camera and his movies make money

    When Ricky Gervais roasted him like three/four years in a row at the Golden Globes I was so happy.

  7. Not sure if it's appropriate to post this here, but this guy performed this at the Comedy Cellar in NY, where Louis frequented.

    I'm going through an issue at work where for whatever reason YouTube has been blocked the past few weeks but what did Ted say. I've always been a big fan of his and just saw him open for Gaffigan 9 months ago.

    Knowing that he was performing at the same venue that gave an admitted sexual predator stage time last month, Alexandro started off his set with “Do I have to take my dick out? What do I have to do for you to cheer my arrival at the stage? Ask yourselves that. You know where you are, don’t you?”

    Later: “What’s with this PC culture? It’s suffocating, right? Do you want to live in a world where a man can’t politely ask a colleague if he can take off all his clothes and masturbate to completion? Is that where we are as a culture?”

    And later: “Look, there are mechanisms in place for justice. Eventually justice is served. Women complain that they’re second-class citizens. But look, Bill Cosby raped dozens of women, decades went by, the allegations were widely known and reported, comedian Hannibal Buress told some jokes about it, it went viral, and eventually justice was served. The system works!”

    And one more for good measure: “Why can’t we just let Louie go back to writing jokes about how men are the greatest threat to the safety of women? But he doesn’t just write jokes — he walks the walk! And I think that is to be commended. He’s a performance artist.”

    What is it with people giving terrible interviews defending creeps for no reason this week?? I’m way more surprised and disappointed by Judi Dench than Bill Murray but how hard is it to just say nothing?

    I mean... if he's supposed to have learned anything, it should be not to surprise women, right?

    Goddamn, man child Prestigious

    It was beyond tone deaf the first time but like he knows there was backlash and dgaf so he can choke for all I care honestly. Anyone who wants to talk about how long an artist has to be "punished" or do time or whatever comes up with Louis like this is prime lack of accountability or even caring to pretend about accountability. It's clear he feels entitled to his space and will try to force his way back in. Which shows he's learned approx nothing.

    I know I shouldn’t be shocked or whatever, but did he see even any of the overwhelmingly negative response to his last surprise set?
