I thought the whole airport from beginning to end was hilarious, especially the plane turbulence. The pilot saying "oh man" over the PA

I loved the part where the stewardess took back his "glass" of water before he had a chance to finish it.

VERY funny. Pilot: "May God have mercy on our souls." ALL the airport stuff was fantastic, as was the line about "I like to think that we're all the same no matter where we live, but we're not. We're really not..." Cell phone guy on the plane was gold too.

I actually thought this episode was the worst of the season. The setups and situations were good, but the jokes just didn't deliver

Airport segment was great. Alabama segment was weak.

The airport scene had many good laughs.

The reactions to the turbulance was hilarious. Although the pilot's lengthy "uuuuuuuuummmmm" was done already on Family Guy by Quagmire.

This guy should be embarrassed to call himself a comedian. He's a hack and a scumbag. We all know where it's going to end...in a dumpster covered in his own piss and excrement, telling dirty jokes for crack. It's only a matter of time before we read about his suicide by erotic asphyxiation.

Seriously, you don't like the comedian and you don't like the show.... we get it.

You have anything useful to offer the Louie show threads?

Seriously, what is your problem with him? Did he rape your sister or something?

^He's joking. It's a reference to somebody in a prior thread who had some sort of serious problem with Louis.

The airline stuff was gold. The faces Louis makes crack me up, they're so subtle. The way he was looking at the fat guy on the plane, and his reaction to the angry man at the airline counter. They're perfect.

I thought it was the same person at first but then I remembered the real guy got suspended.

I was rolling at the turbulence bit.

The menacing Alabama guy was a good setup, but a weird ending. It was kind of funny seeing the guy open-mouthed and unconcious in the back of the police car though.

That's good , but you should "include" the use of "random" quotation marks and UNNECESSARY.capitalization !

I laughed so hard at the Travel Day segment ("Everybody died...except a baby.") and then there were no laughs to be found in South. I don't think this two segment format is working, but I've got new respect for Louis CK as a director. The look and feel of the show are so perfect that you don't notice that half the material kinda sucks.

Damn! I forgot the quotation marks, you're right.

I liked the second half. It reminded me of his short films. If anyone here can find the Short Films by Louis C.K. dvd, you have to buy it. I bought it years ago (around the time Pootie Tang was being released) off his website, so I'm not sure of the availability.
