Louie/YMMV
- Author Appeal: "Come On, God" and "Duckling" both featured Louie hitting on (and getting rejected by) "good Christian girls". Maybe he's just attracted to women who would never sleep with him.
- Also he tends to fantasize about and lust after mostly blondes (Pamela being the major exception).
- Non Sequitur Scene:
- While shopping for houses, Louie looks out the window of one and sees a crazy hobo muttering to himself on the street. A black car pulls up and two dark-suited men jump out, who stuff the hobo into their car and replace him with a nearly identical, also crazy hobo.
- On the way to his aunt's house in Pennsylvania, Louie stops to fill up. As he does so, two Sikh children in suits stare at him in silence.
- When Louie is knocking on his date's door in the first episode, the old next door neighbor chides him for making noise as she is naked in her apartment. Eventually, she opens her door fully so the unimpressed Louie can see her standing naked. She calls him a pig multiple times and then slams the door.
- Broken Aesop:
- Did Chris Rock really need to give Louie a lecture on maturity a week after he adopted his 13 year old niece?
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: A meta-example would be Dane Cook, a comedian who has been maligned and accused of stealing Louis CK's jokes, agreeing to come do a bit about his being maligned and accused of joke stealing. Talk about a good sport...
- Crowning Moment of Funny: Any scene where Louie sees his therapist.
Therapist: Have you ever...heard news about somebody dying...and then you got an erection?
Therapist: Sex is very simple: the man puts his penis, into the woman's vagina, he ejaculates, and then the woman dies.
Louie: (beat) What?
Therapist: Oh, oh I'm sorry, I was thinking of something else.
- Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: In the middle of the night Louie's pregnant sister starts screaming in pain, and not knowing what to do he just freaks out. A gay couple who live a few doors down, whom Louis has never talked to before, hear the screaming, knock on his door and without even knowing Louie's name or what's wrong, offer their help.
- "Brother, do not let your sister die from pain or lose her baby because you are awkward with strangers."
- Ear Worm: "Louie Louie Louie Louieeeeeee, Louie Louie Louie Louahhhhhhhhh!"
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel:
- The crucifixion description and demonstration.
- Sean the bully describes a recent fight from the appropriately titled segment Bully.
Sean: So what if I just decided to kick your ass right now? What would you do then? Huh?! D'you want that? I'm serious, I can hurt you really bad -- right now. (Pushes his freshly scabbed knuckles into Louie's face) Y'see this, huh?! This was just two days ago, destroyed this guys face, must've hit him like 40 times. Teeth all over the place, just left him there bleeding. Probably sent him to the hospital. Are you ready for that? I'm kinda feeling like doing that to you right now -- gonna be honest.
- Two somewhat deranged men dressed as zombies accost Louie and his daughters on Halloween. It's a genuinely tense scene as Louie desperately tries to keep the two men from hurting his little girls.
- Also the puddle of what looks like blood on the subway seat in "Subway".
- Ho Yay: Louie and the dentist.
- The prosthate examination.
- The southern policeman.
- Tear Jerker: The second season finale is incredibly heartwrenching. Pamela leaves for Paris to try and patch things up with her son's father, and implores Louie to not pine for her while she's away. She makes this as clear as possible. Then, after she's crossed the turnstile at the airport, she yells at Louie to "wave at me!", only for him to mishear it as "wait for me!". Louie leaves the airport in high spirits.
