5. "Daddy, I Don't Like Chicken"
http://youtu.be/B4csyHIR0eg?t=2m1s A fairly large percentage of Louis's material revolves around his family life, with a particular focus on his two daughters. It's immediately clear that he loves his daughters with all that he is, but it's equally evident that he has discovered the comedic value of family life. This bit is probably the best example of how Louis takes his personal life and makes it(and him) relatable and hilarious. It's unflattering, honest, and true to the trials and tribulations that parents experience on a daily basis. His frustration and hilarious sense of urgency is reminiscent of the popular book "Go the F*** To Sleep," which also chronicles the daily struggles of parenting. Louis CK takes the cake as the most relatable comedian of our day, and this joke only reiterates his importance to stand-up comedy.
