louis was funny back in the o&a days but then he "cleaned up" his act to fit in with hollywood culture and got strung up by his new audience.
oh well, no loss.
His show Louie had the same arc downwards.
Started good, with the bully episode, or him perving on the dog chick.
Then it got worse and worse, with corny sentimental shit like him screaming at Letterman.
Maybe like Tasty Meat says, this whole story worked to make him stop smelling his own farts, and he'll get funny again with the edgy comedy.
