This was kind of sweet and made me shed a little tear and yet it's not as poignant or depressing, hilarious and upliftingly melancholy as Bully from season 1 (or was it season 2?). If you

liked it, you should watch this show's first two seasons.

This made me shed a tear, but I still wouldn't date a fat girl, and that makes me a shitty person.


kwash - 2014-05-14

No, it doesn't make you a shitty person. Not being attracted to a body type doesn't make you any worse or better of a person, you're just attracted to who you're attracted to. It's ridiculous to be made to feel guilty over it.

I dislike this video.


infinite zest - 2014-05-14

I'm fairly Andy and since I got divorboner
Caution is advised when taking your thin hamster up a mountain, the low air pressure will cause expansion to 500% his original size.

ced I wound up in that dumb "don't expect what you see" on ok Cupid. My ex and I were around the same body type, so I guess that was my "type:" small kinda pixie I guess.. I went on an ok Cupid date with a gal and she was soooooo cool probably double my size.


infinite zest - 2014-05-14

Fuck. Ladies I'm single and it might be because I hate this phone.


Oscar Wildcat - 2014-05-14

A lot to umpack here: but let's start with the observation that emotional/relational virginity in women is exactly analogous to sexuality immaturity/viginity in men. It's awkward, offputting and a huge turn off.

As the lady observes, she has no problem getting laid. As the man is demonstrating, he has no problem finding lady friends. But she want Huevos Suave. And he wants Skinny McBigtitties. Oh bother, nobody's happy.


infinite zest - 2014-05-14

I was going on an OKcupid date with a girl who turned out looking nothing like her profile: her face was kind of shot at an angle and that's all the pictures showed so I didn't have anything to go with. I kind of figured I had shown up before her, and a thinner girl came in and I thought that was her. We made eye contact and I started talking to her.. after a few minutes I mentioned how I don't really use okcupid. It wasn't her. And the girl I was supposed to meet was sitting at a table the whole time, it turns out I was late. Then we made eye contact, waved, played pool and had a wonderful evening. I FELT LIKE SHIT!!! WORSE THAN SHIT!!! She's a beautiful gal. At a point like that you're at a loss for words: no girl's going to say "oh that's fine, you thought I was that more ATTRACTIVE THIN GIRL" or "LOOK FOR ME I'M THE BIGGER GIRL AT THE BOOTH." and of course I didn't mention it at all, as if I really had no idea she was there (it was a dark table and I DIDN'T know that it was her) but I think it was pretty clear to both of us.

Next week I saw her with another guy, who in my opinion is far more attractive than me. :)


infinite zest - 2014-05-14

I've seen the opposite though: I guess this show kind of does the Seinfeld thing (like I've said I've only seen clips) so he bases the episode around something he's said in his routine. So when she says "you say you're fat and it's cute and laugh and I say it and people call the suicide hotline" it really didn't have as much of a gender-related impact on me.

But then I thought about it. Besides Rosanne it's usually the big guy with the slender girl (the honeymooners, The King of Queens, Family Matters, Fresh Prince a million other shows I'm sure.) Maybe I'm wrong because I don't really watch TV (especially not your standard sitcoms) but I'm trying to think of a single show where a big girl wasn't just played off just for laughs, played by a man or someone's "big momma". Urkel and Big Willie would make fun of Carl and Dr. Phil, but there was more substance to those characters than "here comes the fat guy everybody laugh when he walks in the room"


That guy - 2014-05-14

kwash, I agree with what you said and I love this show.
Why should you dislike it just cause you disagree?
Get sophisticated, now.

Also infinite zest, did you have a stroke?


infinite zest - 2014-05-15

If you're refering to the post above, no, my phone did. For some reason I guess the last thing I copied was something about the Thin Hamster video and I hit "paste" accidentally hit send. It was basically supposed to be what I wrote below about how I felt all shitty. If you're referring to all my other posts, I don't know. I'm making toast and it's burning.


FreeOJ - 2014-05-13

This is one of the reasons why Louie is set apart from other comedies. It isn't just all attempts at humor.


baleen - 2014-05-13

This season has been great so far. Love this show.


Gmork - 2014-05-14

One of the few good television shows on. I love my fat girl.


Sexy Duck Cop - 2014-05-14

Oh just go to the goddamned gym.


Gmork - 2014-05-14

You could maybe just go fuck yourself instead.


Caminante Nocturno - 2014-05-14

Either one would burn calories and lose weight.


Nominal - 2014-05-14

...with a gun barrel. -Gmork


Nominal - 2014-05-14

Seriously though can you be honest that you just want to be shitty and yell at people? If this was a fat TFL dude talking about how women are awful for not pretending to be his waifu, you'd be first in line to mock them and everyone behind you would be ready with a "go to the gym" comment.


Gmork - 2014-05-14

Except that I'm not the kind of shitty person you are to even think of saying that in the first place. I base not liking people around their behavior, which is probably why I don't like fucktards like yourself who consistently spout the same non-sequitur bullshit about me, usually involving gun fanaticism or right-wing politics (neither are things I endorse).

It's funny considering how fucking liberal I am, that you could even pretend to allude to some kind of neo-con gun-loving mentality within me somewhere. It's called a difference of opinion.

SDC can still fuck off for imposing their personal standard of beauty. Just as SDC is free to tell me to fuck off if I say I like fat chicks. Nothing happens and we both go to bed still liking the things we like.


Caminante Nocturno - 2014-05-14

Gmork threw a little gun tantrum.


Gmork - 2014-05-14

yawn


Caminante Nocturno - 2014-05-14

Gun tantrums take a lot out of people who aren't physically fit.


Scrimmjob - 2014-05-14

As a fat asshole, I think I speak for fatties everywhere when I say, sexy duck cop should shut his fucking pie hole.


baleen - 2014-05-14

"Gun tantrums take a lot out of people who aren't physically fit." :D:D:D


Oscar Wildcat - 2014-05-14

That's our Gmork! ( insert slide trombone lick here )

thats some low level shit, guys. troll better :P


Sudan no1 - 2014-05-14

Save the NRA shill comments for posts where he's being an NRA shill.


That guy - 2014-05-14

There's maybe a difference between defending the fat girl as 100% right, and thinking the episode was a good episode, maybe???

Maybe she's an interesting character, without having to fully defend or attack her, or identify with her, or figure out whether you'd date her or be friends with her??

Ok class, for tomorrow read page 1-10 of How To Watch A Goddamn Thing With Characters In It That Isn't Pure Melodrama So You Don't Get Easy Answers.


BHWW - 2014-05-14

Fat people don't need companionship. They need to be isolated and studied so it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use.


Jimmy Labatt - 2014-05-14

Put down that damn Ross Perot pamphlet!


Chancho - 2014-05-14

I had to stop watching this show. One episode shows him eating ice cream and it was like watching a depressed high school white girl crying.


Potrod - 2014-05-14

Does anybody actually find this show funny? The episodes I've seen barely even had attempts at humor and he's such an awkward sadsack. Nearly every time I hear about it, it's because it's tackling some serious issue or being weird.


Adham Nu'man - 2014-05-14

Some episodes are absolutely hilarious. Some episodes are a bit boring and mopey (especially season 3, which was pretty awful in my opinion).
The best episodes are the ones that manage to be hilarious one moment and then devastating the next.


Potrod - 2014-05-14

The episodes I can recall seeing were apparently the first 3 of season 3, so maybe I should check out another season. In the second episode especially I was amazed at how they managed to fill 23 minutes with almost nothing happening.


That guy - 2014-05-14

^ The three of you are why we can't have nice things. ^


infinite zest - 2014-05-15

I think I'd like this show. A lot of it seems like conversations I'd have with my friends anyway.

The "I know a gay guy: "Do you guys gets AIDS from using yours toothbrushes if you brush too hard and yours mouths is bleeding" That kind of turned me off. Not because it's like "ooh shit they said that on FX" but because it's kind of a conversation that I can have with a lot of my customers. Divorced, single, just looking for.. something. Don't know what. Try to find it at 2 in the morning. Won't work. Cry to sleep. Wash rinse repeat do it again tomorrow. It's sad but true. He's like the Pagliacci of our time: A person who can laugh through the tears of existence. I'll go back and watch the old episodes.


Innocent Bystander - 2014-05-14

This scene really got under my skin. That bit about how the hot guys always flirt back was especially painful.


craptacular - 2014-05-14

So true, right? How many times have I flirted back with a fat chick only to follow it up with some excuse to leave her vicinity immediately, lest that awkward moment occurs when I'm supposed to ask her out, but don't want to.


infinite zest - 2014-05-15

I got off early tonight because the Trailblazers so I just sat at the bar, went outside to smoke a cigarette and this girl who was exactly my "type" stole my seat. I had every opportunity to say something besides "it's ok you can have it" instead of "would you like to join me, seeing as you just put me in the corner." Oh well. Shy :(


PegLegPete - 2014-05-14

I hear the argument here and it's well put and probably pretty accurate. However, I think it's important, maybe most important, for fat people to ask themselves "Why am I fat?"


Bort - 2014-05-14

Spoiler: it's a question that every fat person asks themselves, frequently.


Binro the Heretic - 2014-05-14

I used to think it was because I ate too much and didn't get enough exercise.

Of course, that was before I met several people who look lean & trim even though they have desk jobs, don't hit the gym and eat huge amounts of everything they want.

Sure, they lack muscle tone and get winded walking across a parking lot, but I'll bet most people would consider them more attractive than me even though I watch what I eat and have a physically demanding job climbing ladders and carrying heavy shit all day.


Bort - 2014-05-14

Beyond matters of metabolism, weight is largely psychological, and it dips into the subconscious parts of the brain that are hard to get a handle on.

The other year I figured out that I find hunger pangs unsettling enough that I was subconsciously telling myself I was hungry when I really wasn't -- keeping myself overfull to ward off even the possibility of hunger pangs. Once I realized I was doing that, I was able to address it, and over the past couple years I've gradually developed what I think are "normal" hunger responses, or at least they're closer to normal. These days, every now and again I surprise myself by saying, "eh, I don't know what I have a taste for, I think I'll just be hungry for a while until I decide". That is a response that was basically impossible for me a couple years ago.


PegLegPete - 2014-05-14

I gained a pretty decent amount a weight a couple of years ago - the disclaimer is I'm still in my late 20's, so metabolism.

My experience losing and gaining weight has been regular physical activity and what/how much I eat. I didn't really even have to "work out" aside from going on fairly strenuous hikes every so often.

The big change is I'm going on walks for around 45 minutes fairly regularly - 2-3 times a week maybe, and overall finding excuses to wander around. The big diet change is spacing out how much and what meat I eat, cutting out sugar/soda/fast food almost entirely and generally only eating until I feel satiated. Oh, and less beer.

I have however never been overweight, and have had a decent diet most of my life.

I guess I have it pretty good. It's just really hard to relate when I've been able to see the problem and circumvent it.


PegLegPete - 2014-05-14

And holy crap we need a "Portal of Obesity" tag or something.


Rodents of Unusual Size - 2014-05-18

Because corporations largely fill stores with awful shit that happens to be cheap and good food that is good for your body, like vegetables is expensive because it doesn't get those sweet government subsidies. It's part of a long standing attack on the poor and if Michelle Obama wanted to do something she'd get off her skinny ass and speak out against her husband giving the sugar industry free government money every year.


chumbucket - 2014-05-14

She sighs with remorse as the runners run by.


Oscar Wildcat - 2014-05-14

Stop it, ChumBucket! You're threatening her victimhood!


poopy - 2014-05-14

I love that this 'i'm fat and it isn't fair' rant takes place with people exercising in the background


Sudan no1 - 2014-05-14

When I was a fat kid, I tried learning to ride a bike. Assholes in a car loudly laughed at me. Not only was it humiliating, it was threatening. I never rode a bike in public again.


Sudan no1 - 2014-05-14

What I'm saying is I don't blame fat people for not wanting to work out in public, and people in this thread are the reason why.


Bort - 2014-05-14

I've gotten snide comments riding around on my bicycle, and sure, I could do without. But they tend to come from people younger than me, and so I think to myself, "let's see how you're doing after your metabolism has slowed down and you've got an office job". Odds are, a lot of them will find the shoe on the other foot (which has gone up a size or two).

Also, I'm proud to say that I've been frequenting Portal of Evil and other online cesspools so long, I demand a pretty high level of abuse before I bother to get emotionally invested. You've got to say something more creative than "fatass" to earn my respect.


That guy - 2014-05-14

Thank you chumbucket and poopy for pointing out one of the basic elements of the scene that seems to have eluded half of everyone in this thread.


Bort - 2014-05-15

Back in my late 20s, I'd still do things like bicycle 20 miles in the morning before going to work. I ran a lot too, and I did my best to watch my diet. I was still putting on weight.

I'm pleased that you guys find it easy to stay thin, but that's you and not necessarily everyone else. And as for the simple answer you're implying -- that she ought to just join the runners and then she'd be fine -- bear in mind that, the heavier you are, the harder it is to do that sort of exercise.

Plus, of course, dicks like you would be laughing at the fatty and how funny she looked.


Nominal - 2019-05-13

I've heard tons of excuses from fatties on why they can't exercise, but "I can't go outside because people will laugh at me" is the pussiest by far.

Oh, and all Louis' moralizing turned out to be bullshit!


poorwill - 2014-05-14

Being a short guy is worse!


Rodents of Unusual Size - 2014-05-14

Except that I love fucking short guys.


Oscar Wildcat - 2014-05-14

Presumably they're small enough for you to fuck? If you were a rodent of immense stature, could you take on a tall guy?


poorwill - 2014-05-14

A rodent of unusual size could never understand my pain.


Rodents of Unusual Size - 2014-05-18

Being a kaiju mutant rodent, I take great offense to this claim. Of course I know your pain. Do you have any idea how many guys run screaming away from me just because I show them who I really am? You fat people think you have it bad. Try being a 7 foot tall bipedal rat person. The only guys I attract are furries!

*cries and eats some of you as comfort*


Jet Bin Fever - 2014-05-21

oswaldtheluckyrabbit - 2014-05-14

this show is so fucking preachy


That guy - 2014-05-14

No, not really. Also, it's interestingly preachy when it is preachy. Also it's excellent. Also, you're dumb. Also it's one of the best shows that US tv has ever created and you're missing out on what's good about it because you're dumb.
I disagree with parts of Louis CK's exact values all the time but that doesn't affect how much I enjoy the show cause I'm not dumb like you, dumbass.
Sincerely,
That guy


chumbucket - 2014-05-15

ghost stars for the "Sincerely,"


Hooker - 2014-05-14

This show is really amazing and personal and insightful and challenging, and then he takes a trip to the slums of Miami or the slums of China and everyone there are better people than him and you realize it's just a show about white guilt.

Still, one of the best shows on TV.


poopy - 2014-05-14

It is seriously not that hard to lose weight.


baleen - 2014-05-14

Unless you have a glandular disorder like Hashimoto's, or you have taken birth control or given birth and have had hormonal issues. Or you grew up fat and ate a lot of junk. People who have been obese for a long time have a much harder time burning it off and keeping it off.

What creeped me out about this monologue is that I've heard this stuff from actual living people. I've been Louis in this situation. Even though it's a fat girl cliche, it's strikingly realistic.


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2014-05-14

It's extremely hard to lose weight for a lot of people , and if it's easy for you, and you're under 30, just wait a few years.


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2014-05-14

This was unflinchingly honest. There's never enough of that in the world.


Binro the Heretic - 2014-05-14

Maybe for a lot of people it isn't, but for a lot of us, it is.


Gmork - 2014-05-14

"It's not that hard to lose weight"

I dont believe losing weight was ever a topic in this. Again, forcing your own standards of beauty on people. So fucking tedious. This is supposed to be a place for progressives, not MRA cunts.


Bort - 2014-05-14

I think losing weight is implicitly a part of it, though: nobody, except maybe the odd sumo wrestler, wants to be fat. Social issues aside, being more physically fit is inherently appealing.

But the fact that a great many people remain overweight suggests that no, it's not as easy as drinking a Tab and doing a half hour on the elliptical.


pyslexic dharmacist - 2014-05-14

Makes you wonder why so many people choose to be the target of nearly universal scorn. Kind of like choosing to be gay in rural Tennessee.


American Standard - 2014-05-15

Which is why the majority of Americans are fat. And serially dieting. And yet, somehow, still fat. because Because being thin is easy.

Cool story bro.


Meerkat - 2015-05-13

Yes, it really is hard to lose weight. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

Once you turn 40 you magically start gaining more weight than you are actually eating. This is known as "oldbody's curse" or simply "oldbody".

You can have one packet of oatmeal for breakfast, a tiny salad for lunch and a cup of spaghetti for dinner and run for 60 minutes every day and you will still gain weight.

It's fucking amazing.


Caminante Nocturno - 2014-05-14

This seems like the kind of show you watch when you've resolved to never be happy.


Sudan no1 - 2014-05-14

Not everyone's idea of happiness is eating a undercooked Hot Pocket alone with the 2D waifu, have a little empathy.


exy - 2014-05-14

Preachy or not it's pretty powerful how she doesn't accept his false reassurances.


memedumpster - 2014-05-14

A Spike Jonze romantic comedy.


Crackersmack - 2014-05-14

This monologue is just bullshit. This woman is legitimately, traditionally attractive. She would have no problem getting dates with guys that weren't even chubby chasers.

The message is a decent one and I like the show, but this whole scene is just inauthentic and forced. She's basically complaining that she doesn't get all the HOT man-dick that she feels entitled to. I don't buy the idea that this woman wouldn't get lots of positive male attention.

There are plenty of unattractive fat women out there; they could have found one for this scene.


gambol - 2014-05-14

No dude, she can't be pretty. She has glasses and a ponytail.


CIWB - 2014-05-14

I realize that people have different beauty standards, but I'm not buying that this girl is in any way traditionally attractive, unless having three chins is considered traditionally attractive where you're from.


Hooker - 2014-05-14

Yeah, dude, she's a chub. You might have a complex.


Bort - 2014-05-14

"She's basically complaining that she doesn't get all the HOT man-dick that she feels entitled to."

Watch it again; she's not complaining that she can't get laid, she is complaining that men don't want to date her because of whatever guy reason. I don't think she came right out and said it, but the guy reason is probably that dating a fat girl would be shameful and embarrassing, like you've given up your last vestiges of dignity. Take a minute to dissect the levels of cruelty there.


Bobonne - 2014-05-15

She literally talks about how she has no trouble getting laid.

So...you didn't actually watch this, huh?


Potrod - 2014-05-14

She's a conventionally attractive woman with an unattractive amount of extra weight on her that would definitely have a noticeable effect on her dating life. That she doesn't meet your arbitrary standards of unattractiveness strikes me as missing the point anyway. The point is that she's overweight, which she is by almost any standard, not that she has an ugly face.


Potrod - 2014-05-14

whoops, meant to be in reply to Crackersmack


Anagramother - 2014-05-14

Nah, this was pretty painfully-well conceived and delivered.
