8. Coffee
http://youtu.be/DSRFy_xuwDM?t=7m21s In this brilliantly questionable segment, Louis manages to make a simple story about his experience at a local coffee shop into racism. The joke only contains two or three gag-worthy lines, but the nature and context of each of the lines catapults this bit to its well-deserved place at number 8. The coffee shop Louis describes in this joke instantly brings to mind a coffee shop I frequent. The best part? The man he describes in the bit reminds me of the guy who whips me up a medium mocha every time I walk into his shop. In addition to bashing Starbucks(which instantly won me over), Louis does a phenomenal job of reeling audiences in with his everyday experiences before throwing an amazing curveball that shocks and pleases.
