Louie: 10 Reasons It's The Greatest Show Of The Past Decade

9. The Stand-Up

louisck Louis C.K. is arguably the best stand-up comedian to ever grace the mic, so anything that features his act will automatically win me over. Of course, in this case, the stand-up isn't just there, it actually serves a purpose. Because of the fact that "Louie" tells multiple stories per episode, the comedy works as something of a transition from one "act" to the next. The really cool thing about the comedy that C.K. places into his episodes, though, is the fact that it never appears anywhere else. Those familiar with the comedian will know that he starts fresh every year, throwing out his all of his jokes after each special, and the same is true for "Louie", as well. For the most part, the bits that you'll hear on the show, you will only ever hear on the show.
