Louie
Ozymandias:
I sort of assumed it was common knowledge that the original meaning of "faggot" is a bundle of kindling and took it from there. My bad I guess.
KvP:
The whole point of that scene was to explain the origin of the term "faggot". I'm glad there are people who appreciate that.
Inlander:
Given that the etymology of "faggot" as an epithet postulated in the scene is not actually correct, do you think that lessens the impact of the scene? Personally I think it does ever-so-slightly, but I still absolutely love the scene for so many other reasons that I'm not too fussed, and I think the over-riding message that a word that is tossed around by straight people in an increasingly casual way still has the power to be so painful for homosexual people to hear remains undiminished.
ALoveSupreme:
no, I want every reel of footage and youtube video destroyed.
Also, FYI Isaiah, Lucky Louis is also pretty funny but more of an homage to bad sitcoms (70's sitcoms, so I have heard), so it's a little different humor-wise.

I dunno, I saw it more of a HBO version of 90's sitcoms like Norm, Martin and The Drew Carrey show.
Concerning Louie, I forgot this show was even a thing. I remember reading about it on the wiki page of Louie CK last year. So thank you thread for alerting me to this!
