Nice to see a return of the surreal Louie episodes. For all the people saying how scary Parker Posey was, Never was much scarier. You had a feeling that kid was capable of anything.
Also funny to see Louis trash Kansas City, since I'm on my way there tomorrow.
FWIW, they misspelled Robin Williams' name in the credits. It's rather odd to see that happen to one of the more recognizable names in Hollywood.

Wow, Louie tweeted the guest stars for tonight's episode, which I haven't seen yet.
Jim Norton, Artie Lange, Amy Schumer & JB Smoove. That's awesome.
Can't wait to see it.

Man that fat kid has a very punchable face. Glad Louie had the balls to tell him at the end that his mom is doing a shitty job raising him.
And yes, the guest appearances were cameos more than anything. Robin Williams has been in a Louie episode before, right?

Man with these guests and then Chris Rock (tho that's understandable), Joan Rivers, Steven Wright etc in the past it's like a "Night at the Improv" type thing compared to the no-star first season.
Sorta reminds me how in the early eps Seinfeld and the gang were nobodys but by the end of the series Seinfeld was abandoning his BMW because it smelt, George was working for the Yankees etc.

I would have pushed the fat kid out the window, although I'm not sure he would have fit through it. But the street accident was a riot.
Loved him and Robin Williams at the strip club and the "Sister Christian" mourning.

When Artie came running out of the cab of that leaking chemical truck screaming "Holy shit! Run!" I was melting down with laughter.

Solid episode, and an interesting melding of new styles, like he's really in experimentation mode. That black-and-white, cinematic opening was excellent. No standup.
These "Brand X" promos are killing me. Killing me. I've DVR'd the Louie episodes, but even catching snippets of Brand is horrible.

When they were at the strip club with all the girls crying, I expected Louie to say something to Robin along the lines of "well, we know where your money went."
I agree about Brand X. I PVR an extra 5 minutes after Louie, just in case it runs over. I made the mistake of watching the first few minutes of Brand X. What an absolute pile of crap. I had no idea how annoying that guy was.

Brand X looks awful, but you know what also looks terrible? "Totally Biased with Kamau Bell". The promos have been shit. That Spiderman joke?

When Louie walked in and saw Never sitting in the bath.....I almost threw up. Had to look away.....what a piece of shit that kid is.

I don't think so, but Robin was on Wilfred earlier this season.

Only Louie could shoot a scene in a strip club which involves all the strippers crying over the loss of a customer. Amazing.
I was dying during the opening of the "Never" section. The mom getting her vagina removed, can't have food with carbon, the hazardous chemicals pile-up. Absolutely perfect.

It was great seeing Artie for 2 seconds, but holy shit, he looks like shit. I know he's been in terrible health for a while, but damn.

Good episode.
This season has been more miss than hit and didn't seem it was the same quality as the first two seasons. This episode felt like classic Louie. Hopefully it's at this level going forward.
I didn't recognize Robin Williams (or should I say "Robin Willaims"?) until he entered the diner.
Loved the reactions at the strip club.
Is the kid playing Louie's agent new? I can't remember him. But it's been done on a few shows already where the agent is essentially a kid.
Louie has a huge apartment.
