9. Facebook
Next up is a joke that is deceptively tame at first, but then quickly transforms into one of his best and nastiest jokes. The 'Facebook' segment works on two levels, first as an accurate commentary on superficial Facebook users and second as a simple yet effective jab at gloating parents. I find this joke especially hilarious, because I peruse social media sites daily and almost always catch someone being disingenuous just to draw attention to themselves. Parents in particular are often found guilty of this, which Louis takes full advantage of. Louis cracks this particular joke towards the end of his 'Oh My God' special, shortly before leading into his "If Murder Was Legal" segment. 'Oh My God' is one of his more recent specials, and contains some of his best and most groundbreaking material.
