Fantastic clip. If only there was a technological way to shrink people's giant sense of entitlement.

Exactly!

As the slow clip downloads,
I'll take a bath and count groans,
sighs, but never eat pizza in a tub.
Happy? Harpy? Hooligan's hoots.
I no smoke a joint in a bathtub tho.
I'll sing rub a rub, belly button tho.

Whoa, whoa, whoa Arthur. I can totally see not eating a pizza in the tub but think again about joint smoking in the bathtub. Don't get crazy on me. Give it a chance, man. Life is short.

Hilarious! Totally true. Loved the last lines about flying coast to coast. Let's all keep some perspective. Thanks Beth.

I LOVE this! Thanks for makin' my morning!

Beth! O boy, my o day, o man,
that's not easy. Sane. You are.
Bathe in rain shower sprinkle.
Ay! I insist no male is present.

Jeez. Every time I find a great site (Old Jews Telling Jokes) or a clip (this one), somebody else gets it out first. Glad it's you. This is totally hilarious and too true.

(So when are you going to come read my story? I'm so waiting for you and Verbal and Lisa and Jodi and Sandra and and and before I can get out the rest. But, uh, no pressure :).

I saw this clip a few days ago. Hilarious.

Right on! Excellent

Beth, this is so f'n funny. I miss this kind of stuff living overseas.
I SO agree with this guy. Thanks a mill. LMAO.
I rework old jokes to fit in some of these same ideas.

Just have to add.... Americans tend to be worse than other cultures with entitlement issues. I am SO guilty of playing like I am from Canada, France or Germany(if asked) whenever I am in public(in Europe) and a bunch of Americans are being loud, spoiled, idiots.
Funny but horrifying.
Rated for cringe factor.

I love this.

Rated for seeing myself in the Complainer! Don't you HATE it when somebody shines a mirror in your face???

Louis CK is amazing... they say that Dane Cook stole all his stuff from him... but Louis is ever so much more intellectual about it.

This is the first I've ever heard of Louis CK. He does seem different than your average stand-up, that's for sure. Almost a little Bill Hicksish, maybe? And yes, I yell - loudly - at my computer once a day for taking more than a nanosecond. It gets silly sometimes.

see, this is why i should live in a cave. not a house cave like in missouri, but a cave cave. i would be fine. when i fly, i DO marvel the whole way. and i have a hand-me-down cell phone that i have used for a total of about one hour in the past 6 months. i wonder if i could marry into the amish? but then i wouldnt be allowed to use the computer, right? see, thats the part that gets me. i DO yell when the computer is slow. and i DO complain that in this wonderful three bedroom house with a KIDNEY SHAPED inground pool!!!! that it has the ugliest wallpaper ever in the kitchen.
i do. my mother would smack me for that. but she WOULD agree it was ugly.

thankthankthankyou beth.

that's for the morning laugh. these are amazing fucked up times.

Thanks for this "whack up side of the head."

It's good to be reminded of the 95% that we do have rather than focusing on the 5% we don't.

Very funny! I remember as a pre-teen talking on a phone with a cord only so long as to reach the kitchen closet. For privacy I would sshut the closet door and sit amongst the mess to talk to friends.

I am amazed by the way almost all things work nowadays especially flying! I also thought of the "lawyer cave-man" episode on SNL where Phil Hartman kept using the argument in court of not understanding our modern ways and would repeat "I'm just a cave-man" to get sympathy from the jury.

O funny clip this was
clipping hair no more
more is less O a store
less things to store now
but waist was more or?
O i'll smoke not a joint
O what talk I abouteth?
I know not O funny Gal
rub rub my belly button

Arthur's Understudy

sorry, trying to comment in arthur style. this shit is harder than it looks. luckily, it doesn't need to make O sense but i did work a belly button and a joint into it.

anyway, great clip. he nailed us all, yes?

OH YES! Thanks for posting this. He shares my exact sentiments on this period of time. I hit bottom fully one year before everyone else did--graduated with an MFA and promptly became homeless. You can see this on my salon site--there's a whole article I wrote on the experience. Now, ironically, everyone else is going through it. While it may, sort of, "validate" my experience, I think Louis nailed it in this segment. Let's wake up!

Boy the looming Great Depression II is going to be super hard to endure. Not your Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewart, everybody helps out era of your grandfather.

He's right. If people don't like airline delays, they should try a fucking wagon train. They didn't even have bathrooms.

I may have to blog about this.

Louis CK is great. Here's a link to a clip about why he thinks his four year-old daughter is "a fucking asshole." Funny, dark shit, for sure. The pertinent material starts at three minutes, but the whole clip is great.

Brilliant!

In an oblique way, that guy has put the finger on why I can't take the prospect of a so-called "impending depression" in this country all that seriously.

The notion of what constitutes "catastrophe" and "disaster" have obviously gotten out of whack for a lot of people out there.

( On a related note- that's also one of the reasons that I've never been able to stand the phrase "career suicide." )
