i agree that he talked too much about it, and im happy he seems to be moving from that subject in the future....also I dont have a clue why anyone could be offended by the special, and there were a lot of funny moments.

and yes, he is the best.

I'm not sure which I'm more troubled by: that that is the six minutes Louis chose to highlight in order to sell his special, or that I found all of it funny and laughed at every joke. I am sure of one thing, though. I hate that the name of the special is SORRY. I hate it

The Good Will Hunting bit was hilarious. The "farting in a Puerto Rican accent" joke was pretty lame.

I was just about to post the only part I didn't like was the fart joke. Otherwise, this was great. I forgive Louis for everything.

Well worth a watch. He hasn't really toned it down or attempted to reinvented himself post-jerk, which is the best possible outcome here. Uptight folks might not like it, but who gives a shit?

I don’t know anything about the scandal surrounding this guy. That clip was funny. My fave was actually the part about skipping YouTube ads.
