Louis CK was not the first to mine the negatives of parenthood for comedy.  Bill Cosby, among others, made similar jokes.  That being said, Louis CK is a very funny guy who definitely finds new ways to approach well trod subjects.

I like how Patton Oswalt can be as bitter about random internet comments as Larry is about shitty movie reviews.  It tells me every comedian has to imagine a chip on his shoulder, complain about that chip-on-his-shoulder, then try to pass it off as commentary on how bitter other people can be.

You did read the interview, right?  Did you catch his examples of "jokes?"  Simply put, they are stupid jokes for stupid people.

Somehow I can't conceive of Dan Whitney watching Monty Python and understanding jokes about Proust and Marx. 

Who knew Larry the Cable Guy read the AV Club?  By the way, if you're reading this, Larry, you are only a small step above Carrot Top.

They'd do a Snooki interview in a second.  Koski and Rabin would fight each other for the honor.

No, you're wrong. Jar Jar Binks did much more than that. 

Oh yeah, because law enforcement types are the paragons of moral purity.  The may be a step above even ministers and priests.

Hoyt, that doesn't make any sense.  No one's going to tail you in a bookstore unless you look or act really, really creepy.  So, um, stop acting creepy.

I don't know what's so weird about a child molesting Hank.  It's always the uncles who want to be buddies with their nephews. That's why no one has a problem when the uncle wants to "hang out" with his nephew.  At least that's what happened in my family.  Hank is the classic molesting type even if the show doesn't…

The single gear bike is truly a ridiculous thing.  Watching people struggle up hills just because they had to ride a "cool" bike is even worse than the quickly waning trend of drinking PBR, usually out of cans, at the bar.

I like how the AV Club/the Onion is both the internet capital of whatever "hipster" culture is and also the place where people complain about it the most.  If you write for this site and live in a "hip" area of LA, "of course" know the hipster neighborhoods of other major cities, and complain about how the term…

Dear Sean,

I used to read the "Lone Wolf" books that were the Choose Your Own Adventures with all that dice rolling.  Except it was a whole lot easier when I just presumed I won every battle against trolls and giant spiders and then moved onto the next page.  And I always had the Sommersword when it was needed.

The Grimes episode made me a regular viewer.  A Thursday night of Louie, Futurama, and Ugly Americans is pretty great actually.

A Choose Your Own Adventure was one of the first books I ever read in about 1st grade.  And I didn't understand the concept and read it straight through.  I still vividly remember that fucking with my head.

I am kind of shocked the AV Club covers Jersey Shore but not Ugly Americans.  And Ugly Americans was certainly better than Futurama tonight.  Doug is my favorite animated character on any current show.

I agree that this list has largely become its opposite.  It was a slow transformation.  But when cheap fashion at Target is at the pinnacle of "tolerable," you know she just has to be fucking with us at this point.  I presume the content editors (I am looking at you Phipps and Rabin) don't even read this shit anymore.

At some point in the last couple years she just say "fuck it, these apes will still read anything I write."  She's so far gone into the "so bad it's good" category she's threatening to come out the other side.

He's certainly well connected.  But studios sign off on the financing because Paul Rudd is better looking (and comes across as non-threatening) than most other comedy actors/comedians.
