Disgraced comedian Louis C.K. has returned with a surprise stand-up special, after admitting to several accounts of sexual misconduct in the 2010s. He was one of the first men in Hollywood whose behavior came to light during the #MeToo movement, but he started to re-emerge in comedy clubs in 2018 with new material.

“How was your last couple of years? How was 2018 and 2019 for you guys? Anybody else get in global amounts of trouble?” he asks the crowd. C.K. bookends the set with jokes about his sexual misconduct and the accounts of him masturbating in front of women. He adds that he had to go on an international tour because “

Men are taught to make sure the woman is okay. The thing is, women know how to seem okay when they’re not okay.”

Trying to be funny now is like trying to funny during a pandemic

Thoughts and prayers

This absolutely sucks

'comedian makes joke in comedy special'

Get him offline.

Does he masturbate during show? Wondering if it’s appropriate for my kids

louis ck, the kryptonite of liberals

People complaining about Louis but voting for Biden 🤣

I thought the picture was Dr. Phil. I was so confused

Good to have to him back. He makes jokes to entertain millions. He made a few people watch him jerk off, although I’m not sure how you “make” someone watch you do that, but let’s all welcome him back. He’s good at what he does.

Genius!

At first look, I thought this was Dr. Phil

'I learned how to laugh disingenuously at the sight of Louis exposing himself facetiously.'

Why is it that only ugly looking people seem to still have a problem with Louis?

Asking for permission is now misconduct? 😂🤣

Why? Why would you promote this guy with more exposure? Jesus.

Someone “makes light” while doing stand up comedy. 😂🤣😂 this is click bait. Your hollow wokeness is going to be your undoing

I get it variety the rage click ratio must be high, need this to leave the timeline tho. We’d all rather be learning the names of cool marginalized comics doing sets in quarantine on IG live or YouTube. If anyone has any recs please lmk. 💖

I've actually never seen any of his shows. I think he was on Curb once...

Why are you all promoting him like this shit isn’t problematic? Next you’ll be applauding Harvey for overcoming Covid.

Another one? Jesus Christ get some new writers.

cacha urgentedifundir

it seems like he knows the left will never accept him anymore, so he’s leaving into being racist and problematic so he can have a career catering the right wing bigots.

Post a link for us to watch.

You guys are giving him a lot of fucking publicity

Who cares

Why do I need THREE posts about anyone within five hours, yet alone this ass? Unfollowing for a while and hope to come back to far, far, less free publicity for unrepentant sexual harassers.

Fuck this guy.

Wow, dudebros online told me sexual allegations will end careers of powerful and famous men 😏 🙄

Dude should never have been cancelled

Go away. Go away. Go away.

What the fuck is with the title? That’s how you write an article about arguably the best living comedian releasing a new special?

Context, Variety, Context.

So he does the same type of comedy he's always done. Cool. I'll check it out.

A comedian makes a joke, how bold of him, this MUST BE STOPPED.

Gr8. Just fkn gr8

In other news, a comedian makes jokes. Back at 11.

How is this guy not cancelled yet? 😑

🤮🤮🤮

Racial is not racism.

He’s...

treepet10

Get a grip to the crybaby working for Variety. He is a Comedian, so making jokes is part of his routine. Try putting your bullshit towards the 🍊🤡 in the WH who is not a Comedian but a useless human that makes fun of all races and people who don’t bow to his crap.

Look forward to seeing him

How can I watch this?

Este wn no aprende

In light of the virus, this seems inconsequential. Plus, it is the jester's role to be politically incorrect, so that serious people can set their barometers.

also add the punchlines if you're going to spoil the jokes

Thanks for ruining it.

Who is still watching this turd?

whatever, like their bigger fish to fry in the world right now.

Is it funny?

Racist!!

I don’t have a problem with them using accents as for the rest I’d have to see it to judge it.

I didn’t even know he had one out so thanks for letting us know

Going!

Thank you for letting me know. Now I have plans tonight.

Bc he’s hilarious

Lol this is the most depressing tweet I’ve seen today. Regardless of how you feel about Louis, trying to tear down a stand up special by plainly writing out the jokes to remove all context and tone is so disheartening.

this is a terrible article, poorly written

Is there a white man in these replies who sees this as disgusting or are ya'll gonna be the lowest common denominator per usual.

He went all in. Loved it.

Variety is virtue signaling. Surprise surprise.

Make sure to stay away from The Office, Michael Scott would make your head explode 😉

Dang now i have to watch it. I bet its good.

Might actually pay the $7.99 for this

If you can’t people laugh without being offensive then you have a problem.

I’m not mad at him. He’s a comedian , but I just don’t think he’s funny. He just seems angry 🤨

JOE BIDEN RAPED A WOMAN, Variety Articles on this news.......

That I will never watch.

No thanks. I’d rather be locked in a hotel room with a coworker I always looked up to who forces me to watch him jerk off and ejaculate mayonnaise all over his sweaty, pasty face and ginger goatee.

He puts a mirror up to our hypocrisy as a society. Put your nazi flags down because this PC bull is ruining our society

No thank youuuu

So what? Isn’t that what comedians do ffs?

OMG... Nooooooo!!!!!

Oh stfu.

He's a comedian. Water is wet.

Variety’s headlines have morphed into snitching. Good Lord. Look what this once proud and mighty publication has been reduced to.

Nice!!!!

So good

literally only white people and uncle toms think that he’s funny and all the replies are proving my point

He’s already cancelled so why do you care.

Nice

And it was hilarious, but more so, Any comedian not sticking up for his right to speak, doesn’t deserve to ever be on stage again.

You gonna cancel him again? Cuz that worked so well the first time.

Stop. giving. him. stand-up. specials.

Unfortunately coronavirus quarantine prevents six angry woke activists from meeting in a Brooklyn vegan coffee house and figuring out how to cancel him. Thankfully Variety’s $10 a story bloggers are still making lists.

Again, NOPE.

👍🏼 you guys are doing yoemans work to get me to watch this tonight

Got him

Omg...seriously! A comedian that makes fun of something. Variety go get corona you assholes

Comedy. If you don’t think its funny then not watch. Simple.

With all this time in quarantine you’d think he’d be jerking off for all us lucky ladies tired of Netflix but alas he’s putting out something less funny.

The king is back! Hilarious special.

Now I want to see it.

OVER HIM!

Cool. How much cash does Variety earn from this ‘report’? If nothing else, LCK’s shtick pays - in part - the salaries of this corporation’s employees. Never forget it.

You don’t sound biased against Loui AT ALL.

You’re giving him the attention he wants

Glad he’s back

comedian makes jokes

Please don’t judge comedy by a “news” headline. There’s a thing called context you’re missing.

Why are we surprised

Really? What a surprise!

Hard a pass

Stop giving him press

I've never enjoyed his stand-up*, but his tv show was good *there are a lot of very popular stand-up comedians I've never laughed at - and I love stand up comedy

This should go well.

Wow didn’t see that coming

pass

leave the guy alone and get on with your idiotic lives ......

He’s got issues. But the dude is funny as shit!

😝!

This man has a serious problem.

Nope.

Misconduct? Because the last time I checked jerking off in front of someone who agrees to it is pretty fucking legal and consensual to me.

No LouisCK NO!

Can you please not give this any more press variety what is your freaking problem? Seriously reporting on this gives him money how do you not understand the correlation?

i've seen the bit live and it's great. Stop fucking on him.

I love the fact that this article doesn’t even end with a conclusion. Just a litany of all the ways he’s not funny.

he's hardly likely to uplay it, even he is not THAT tone deaf

🤢🤢🤢🤢
