Louis CK is a genius. Go watch it guys! This is from his freshly released Netflix special "2017".
BobKatt
ASDFFDSAASDFASDF
I'm more concerned about who's foot we've been comparing stuff to for centuries. everybody but merica finally stopped, but seriously who's!?
RandomIsotope
Louis needs to look at that Imgur thread about how to wear a suit.
ADR14N
Dia0
Well they do.. and you write in arabic numbers..
ADR14N
That's because roman numbers suck ass : MMXVII this shit takes twice much space
badwolfandtheoncomingstorm
I'm so confused about Louis C.K. Half the time I love him, the other half the time I hate myself.
billburrwalderama
badwolfandtheoncomingstorm
Yeah, that's one I'm not such a fan of.
corvandus
NGL I really didn't think this was his strongest special. It was okay. inb4 downvoted for not being a relentless pop-culture sycophant.
Americathehero1337
The beginning wasn't great and there were a couple meh parts, but I thought overall it was pretty good
corvandus
As I said, not his strongest. Not a bad set, just not his peak. Nowhere near it.
madmadmadmadmadammim
It's 2560 in Thailand.
TinyLiehon
Do they sell 2017 sports almanacs?
imnotmattdamon
Can you read Thai?
TinyLiehon
Thai can read that
PietroAretino
I count since the foundation of Rome. It's 2770 as far as I'm concerned
Itchycheesestick
I love Louis c.k. but I'll be honest I wasn't impressed all that much his act this time
CountSnarkula
I always feel like his humor is an apology for being a white american male. It's like he's kept around because he hates himself amusingly.
dhulqarnayn
Yes but aside from that being a /pol/ meme, it's funny because MOST of his humor is dark and/or self-deprecating
TwoShedsJackson2
Any culture is absolutely capable of expressing the passage of time anyway they want. Call it 2017 Year of our Ham if it tickles you.
WowWhatAWhore
Ask the koreans
KillingTlme
He kinda looks like that asshole from the stock market show. The guy who gives shit advice to the public to help his friends in private
Atalung
Jim Cramer is who you're thinking off and if you track his advice over time it's good advice
brendocalrissian7
True story: I sat front row for this & he was asking me what year it was. Also true: I said 2016 & he corrected me. I struggle with dates.
SoISayThis
Ha! I laughed at this part, too. Im going to say to you what I said to my TV screen when I saw that: Glad I'm not the only one.
SlotinsDemon
I'll be the party pooper: it's actually been 2017 years since the Roman Senate ratified Caesar's Julian calendar, not since Christ.
BacalaoPequeno
Yea, Christ is believed to have been born born about 4-7 BC
Norriko
Who brought this guy
ThunderousGalaxy
Exactly, also can be referred to as Common Era (C.E.) and Before Common Era (B.C.E)
CountryMetal01
the Roman Catholic?
SlotinsDemon
The Roman Catholic Church came much later than the calendar, but had its roots in classical Rome. The name pays homage to that.
BewareDropBears
This needs more upvotes. Everyone assuming it's based on JC means that they don't bother to look for the truth.
RoboLuddite
I'm pretty sure the Julian calendar was adopted well before 0 AD. What do you think AD and BC stand for anyway? (Even if they're not right)
SlotinsDemon
That calendar, with only minor tweaks, has endured through today. That's why "July" is named after Julius Caesar, "August" = Augustus.
JTstupidhead
Actually i didn't know that first part so thank you for that.
WithPride
The Christians didn't win. Ask any religious person on how satisfied that they are at numerous attempts to take their rights away.
WithPride
Like in Canada where they tried to pass a bill that you would lose your job if you had any type of religious symbol.

Its 12017 to me and i have a calender to prove it.
Ragswolf
I too, watch Kurzgesagt.
NurseSlacky
Saw him in Nashville last year, brilliant. First word out of his mouth was "abortion".
SlutAtNight
I saw him in Vancouver in 2016 . He asks a guy in the show what year it is and he says, "2016"
BrandonianFlynnigan
That bit was really funny but in the special I feel like a lot of people misunderstood it. He talks about aborting babies from ugly people 1
BrandonianFlynnigan
(which I mean aborting children for genetic superiority is like Hitler's wet dream) and the crowd cheered. I mean laughing would make 2
BrandonianFlynnigan
sense but the cheering seemed really odd to me for some reason. 3
Robvp
Yeah his opener was great, and it just kept getting better
Cereaza
It's taking a shit, or it's killing a baby. No inbetween.
NurseSlacky
He actually legitimately changed the way I view the protesters at clinics. YES - their tactics are horrifying and their position is wrong 1/
NurseSlacky
but, as Louis said, they honestly believe babies are being killed. It would be weird if they *didn't*. "I don't wanna cause a scene." 2/2
Cereaza
But as he says, women should be allowed to kill babies. I mean... They're in their pussies!
Roland191145
I can't wait to hear these jokes again when Amy Schumer steals them.
TheArabianStallion
Lol didn't some of the people accusing her of stealing take there comments back.
kaztas
Hmm, that may actually take creativity to somehow turn this joke into something about her vag.
ThirstyCalifornian
One person inside it for every year since Christ?
clancysmum
I laughed, then realized that's exactly what she'll do. :(
guantanamobayxx
WhosJoe
I even tried to watch that special and couldn't make it thru 15 min. She's just not good.....
Roland191145
Sad part is, she used to be
angelsichor
I'm happy to see something new! Can't believe he's wearing a suit!
NotABadLookingNarcissist
Took the comment right out of my brain.
angelsichor
Guys, this is a stupid amount of upvotes for my comment.
newsguycraigevans
Saw him last year when he swung through town. I remember he did this joke. He was wearing a suit for that performance too.
Summersky
Laundry day.
BayazTheBenevolent
He's also lost weight from the looks of it. Good for him! He started looking like a complete hobo.
angelsichor
True!
ButterfaceTaintClown
He finally took David Lynch's advice.
LennoxAvenueLadybugs
Underrated comment of the day.
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
I saw this in person! But it was 2016 when I saw it
dovebair
Saw him in Portland, when he came out in that suit I was flabbergasted.
muinmuin
I saw him in Reading, PA (which is as shitty as he implies) and had the same reaction!
PassTheSriracha
I was at the same show! My friends and I all lost it too.
kcufuck
Funny thing is he used to wear suits all the time when he was younger.
angelsichor
That's true. But everything about him is different now.
hereforcake
In a good way or a bad way? I've been avoiding his stuff lately in a weird, worried about a complete stranger kind of way.
CameToCommentandChewGumImAllOutOfGum
Kinda like Larry the Cable guy used to dress in khakis and a dress shirt
DerpyUserID
It was good and this part is better with sound.
muinmuin
"CHRIIIIIST!"
angelsichor
I'm literally gonna leave work early to go home and watch it with my best friend beer.
Nineteenletterslong
Say hi to beer for me!
angelsichor
He misses you
simonripley
Glad I saw him during his "dress like crap" phase.
yppahmai
I think he was much better before the suit.
obiiwon
Pretty sure there's a black t-shirt underneath that dress shirt somewhere
animatic
Now I'm wondering. I kinda hate white undershirts now. They just turn yellowish, it's gross. I'm done. Until I gotta wear damndress shirt
Nize426
I just bleach the fuck out of my dress shirts and undershirts occasionally.
CertifiedPreOwnedButtPlug
SO and I were looking for a bit by him and I said, "It's the standup where he's wearing a black tshirt and jeans..." Then we laughed.
NotAPervert
Yeah but they so sweaty, he must have like a cup of water sloshing around his taint
BooToast
At least a 1/4 cup of water
ChromeEagle
That sounds exactly like something he would say.
NotAPervert
It was based of something he said in one of his specials
MCEscherWasADouchebag
Is he actually? The looking like crap thing was almost a shtick, I wouldn't put it passed him to just make the shirt wet under his arms.
wannabuysomememes
I enjoyed that he just wore a black shirt and a pair of jeans. Made it all very laidback and he seemed more down to earth on his shows.
TK421isAFK
He can't believe it, either.
GeauxGhoti
He just got out of church and didn't have time to change.
thedudeottawa
Was thinking exactly the same thing
TraitorousGiraffe
Haha i know. Looking dapper tho!
UpvoteTotem
Yeah, losing the black shirt kinda shocked me, he said he wanted to do it like Carlin but I guess he's ready to just be himself
NinjasStoleMyMama
Right? Not just a black tee.
wheredidmypantiesgo
He said it in Fallon's Tonight Show that he doesn't "dress like crap" anymore https://youtu.be/MJcfkvll4Nc
BigSnicker
DAMN he's hilarious. Love that clip.
IronicUsername
As someone who dresses like crap, I'm sad to have lost a champion for my cause.
animatic
Right? I'm going to have to start wearing a tie to my campus job. But how the fuck do I tuck in my shirt with this dad belly? Fuck.
ebert4u
Tuck it into your underwear. Seriously.
Krympehl
yes, we all are. Though we should not take it as a loss to our cause. We must be strong. be strong for mother!
ThisIsGod
You don't have to when you're one of the top comedians in the world.
DrewBerg
I love that he's giving Fallon the business too. He tell you right to your face when you're being dumb.
Carmichael106
But it IS different. Naps can often be unintended - sleep is scheduled, planned. "I'm going to sleep at 10 tonight so that I can wake up @ 5
HelloMyNameIsStoopid
.... But napping IS sleeping. You fall ASLEEP.
Carmichael106
Not necessarily. You definitely don't hit a REM cycle unless you're doing it wrong.
BarbaraLucas
Yeah, he didn't seemed like he enjoyed that interview much.
DrewBerg
Probably because Fallon is a buffoon.
BarbaraLucas
Yeah. If I were a professional comedian I think that fake laugh would drive me nuts.
mvp84
Is it weird I literally have said before that "maybe I shouldn't have taken that nap."
LePiggy
I have, I'll take a quick 15min nap before work and wake up groggy and know I shouldn't have napped
MyNipplesLookLikeMilkDuds
Nah, there are plenty of naps I've woken up from feeling worse than I did before I napped lol.
LePiggy
I'm laughing so hard at "That was the dumbest thing you could've said" part, thanks for sharing

lol Joe Rogan's standup is not better than Louis CK's. Sorry man, as far as I'm concerned you're just wrong. Period.
ShooterMcGrabbin
And yes I did watch Rogan's latest stuff on Netflix.
ShooterMcGrabbin
but yeah Chappelle's Netflix special was better than Louis CK's, but it's kind of comparing apples and oranges. Plus Chappelle has been MIA
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
Fuck yeah, I'm watching that!
JamieSmyth
I just watched it. I was in pain from laughing so hard.
EndersGameofThrones
Well, I know what I'm watching tonight! He killed on Colbert on Tuesday night, too.
skillinp
He's been doing it for his standup show for a while now, guess they finally taped it.
angelsichor
Totally just emailed the CEO to say I'll be leaving early. Knowing that this is out was the tip I needed to leave work early today.
Farmerben12
Is it good? It must just start slow then cause I couldn't get into it. I'll give it another shot.
ShooterMcGrabbin
Not his best but still good. If you like Louis CK's comedy it's a good laugh anyway.
OmegaZen
bad for the first 20 minutes. Gets ok. Then stays pretty lame. Probably one of his worst standups.
hunglikehodor
Saw it live last summer. Looks like he expanded the joke a bit from when I saw it.

NoForethought
Louis.C.K.2017
jezzey
I downloaded it from Netflix and have been looping it while at work. It's funny. Feels different than his previous stand ups.
ShooterMcGrabbin
yeah it feels a bit less philosophical and a bit more silly.
ShooterMcGrabbin
I still think it's funny mind you, and better than probably 80% or more of the comedy out there.
ShooterMcGrabbin
For me, the great thing about Louis CK's comedy is that he makes you feel like a friend of his and talks to you drunk and joking around.
BarbaraLucas
What did you think of the ending? It seemed like he was about to say more but then didn't?
ShooterMcGrabbin
Yeah, the end was kind of lack-lustre. Maybe they informed him his time slot was up and he was just like "eh alright fuck it". Seems like
ShooterMcGrabbin
he might've went on a bit longer than he intended about the whole 'magic mike, i'd be gay if i could fuck dicks' skit. Maybe that's why
FabledSins
He has said in interviews that he generally saves his best bit for the encore, which doesn't make it into the Netflix specials.
kellerstern
The other thing is: that's really a sign of the opposite of genius when you state in public "the entire human race"
krapmyself
What about the Jewish calendar or the Chinese one? 2017 is really only used globally because of England and current financial markets.
eclecsys
He talks about them also. Go see the show.
100BEARS
He talks about those too
IncognitoPanda
It is just a joke, and I'd assume he knows of the other ones, but yeah. I doubt the Chinese outs ours above their own
Booooooiqqqq
It's 2017 in China. Sure there's the traditional calendar too, but China is a real country not a magical fantasy empire
IncognitoPanda
I have been there. Of course they know of our stuff, but they feel a sense of superiority. Calendar was perhaps a bad example of that

DonGatelyAtEnnetHouseDrugAndAlcoholRecoveryHouse
"Next time you do your taxes, for the year, try just writing the word 'monkey.' See what happens to your funds then."
TheMrGUnit
You didn't disprove his point. EVERYBODY knows it's 2017, but only the people who use other calendars know what their "year" is.
IAintCheatin
So how does Chinese work? Is it like 124th year of the Monkey?
TheMrGUnit
Dunno, but this further proves the point. The average person here doesn't know the Chinese year, but I bet most Chinese know it's 2017.
onlyhalfghost
They've been keeping track of the years much longer than the Europeans have, it's like 4000-something.

Insanitydividedbyzero
Carter tried to implement the metric system in the US. It is too bad ge wasn't successful because it would be great if we used that here.
CziltangBrone
We already use metric where it matters. All packages of food are marked in grams or ml. Science and engineering uses metric. Many use both.
thedeg
Imagine how it is for the rest of us when everything on popular sites are made by Americans. Take any post here regarding height for example
idonthaveauser
Yup, there are many great posts here, but lbs? pound? feet? It would be great to all speak the same language.
SoundFuture
Yes, that's irritating, but do you have to own two entirely different sets of wrenches and sockets?
thedeg
Have to? Probably not. Do they exist? Yes.
SoundFuture
Well just remember the next time you have to convert 6'3" to 1.91m, that somewhere an American is tripping an 11mm bolt thinking it's 7/16"s
SoundFuture
If you're going to touch mechanical stuff in the US you have to have both Standard (Imperial) and Metric equipment, it can drive you crazy.
CziltangBrone
The customary system and the metric system measure exactly the same things for basic units. You have a computer. Conversion isn't difficult.
thedeg

So you would find it no problem if we use the Chinese calendar tomorrow, then Mayan, then unix epoc, because you have a PC which translates?
CziltangBrone
If I come across one of those dates, yes, I translate it and go on with my life. I don't whine about which system is best.

In the long run. We're working there. Retooling and education is expensive, time consuming, and quite dangerous if hurried

Appreciated.
thearcheopteryx
Dangerous?? go on. I'm listening.
Elroydb
You know how conversion errors caused a Mars probe to be destroyed? Imagine that happening with a bridge or apartment building
thearcheopteryx
Fair enough. So is that an excuse to keep working in an archaic measuring system or a global cry for the US to just switch already. #excuses
Elroydb
It is not an EXCUSE. Stop being a pompous ass. Pretend your country for some reason wanted to go back to the Imperial system. Think about

It makes more sense, and it's still linked to the current calender making it seriously easy to grasp.

I mean, 12017 still acknowledges Christ, it just does so obliquely.

That's partly for convenience, partly because the event it starts on has enough margin of error for it.

I still don't see the problem with acknowledging Jesus' existence.
nosaucesbutapplesauces
Jesus existed. It's his divinity that is called into question by many. Yet we all set our calendars to his supposed birth year.
nosaucesbutapplesauces
Sorry. Didnt mean to comment twice. I thought imgur errored on the other one.
alwaysL8
The especially crazy bit is that now scholars are pretty sure Jesus wasn't even born at the shift of the calendar!
nosaucesbutapplesauces
Yeah... I remember reading something about the crazy ways the planets aligned in like 6ce that made sense of the Bethlehem "star".
alwaysL8
I haven't heard anything for after, but I've heard as early as 6 BC and as late as 2 BC
nosaucesbutapplesauces
It's not Jesus' existence that people find insulting... its that we literally set our entire calendar based on the year we think he was born
ASDFFDSAASDFASDF
these hypothetical people are working REALLY hard to be insulted. must be nice to not have any actual problems :(
ObnoxiousComma
Are people really so sensitive that they are offended by that? That's insane.
popejubal
"Offended by" isn't the same as "recognizing that the Christians are in charge". Not everything is about being offended.
ObnoxiousComma
And who said Christians are in charge??
ObnoxiousComma
You said insulted, generally if you're insulted you're offended.
Codedependent
But, of course, the Christians'll just say HA! See.. the world is ~10,000 years old ;)

It's a fucking terrible joke though. The premise is just a random fact and there's no punch line.
TheCrustyMustard
It's 2017, people can't tell jokes without SOMEBODY being offended...
popejubal
1/ What the fuck? Louis CK isn't offended by 2017 being Christian. He's just pointing out that we won. We're in charge. That isn't "being
popejubal
2/ offended." That's just recognizing who is in charge. You know what the worst part of "PC culture" is? It's people whining about "thin

3/ skinned" and "being offended" even when no one is actually offended.
TheCrustyMustard
I wasn't referring to Louis... I was referring to the people in the comments freaking out about the Chinese calendar and whatnot...
Xmassloth
I think he may have gotten offended.

Louis actually mentions both the Chinese and Hebrew calendars in the bit. "Put year of the Monkey on your taxes, let me know how that goes."

That's...not how Chinese Lunar calendar actually works....
FoxySpirit
But he is right, it won't go very well. Even in China. :-P
SuwinTzi
China has it's own years counting system, along with the international one. So please clarify what exactly are you trying to say.
SuwinTzi
What the fuck is that supposed to even mean? China has it's own calendar system, its own system of counting years that's separate from AD
DownVotedSuperman
Despite that, largely the entire world follows the 'Christian calendar'. You will never see a schedule made following the Islamic calender.
MerToo
Except in the part of the world with the billion Moslems.
mikekearn
They might follow it for religious ceremonies, but international trade uses just one calendar. So they all agree it's 2017 same as everyone.
MerToo
Yeah, nah, it's their everyday standard calendar. Source: worked in Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, French Somalia, Yemen, Oman & the Emirates.

I live in the Emirates. We surely do not use Islamic calendars for anything.

I don't see him complaining that Christians have won. Recognizing that something is true isn't the same as complaining about it.
popejubal
And I *constantly* hear other Christians whining about being persecuted. It's a central theme of our religion.
thedustygrad
He's not complaining. That's not his style. He's just telling it like it is, in a way that highlights how Christianity dominates our culture
UnpopularOpinionPuffinPersonified
Which is the opposite of a joke.

As a Carlin fan, I'd say he's more likely doing the opposite

He actually addresses the issue of other calendars as well. He knew people would mention it, so it's part of his bit. Legendary guy, Louis.

Either way, Jesus Christ of Nazareth existed whether he was the son of God or not. It's not 2017 After Death of The Prophet.

AD means Anno Domini - In the Year of Our Lord. That's kind of specific.

LimpDickUnicorn
This is just patently false
Schmedes
In 2009, Israeli archaeologist Yardenna Alexandre excavated archaeological remains in Nazareth that date to the time of Jesus.
Leithoa
Hadn't heard that, just the 700's bc assyrian attacks wiping it out. Enlightening finds.
mikekearn
There is no archeological evidence. Only documentary evidence; as in no physical proof, just a lot of writings. Take it for what it's worth.
Schmedes
Are writings now not considered physical objects? News to me.
mikekearn
Anybody can write down anything. That doesn't make it physical evidence. There is no DNA, bones, descendents, etc. proven to be Jesus'.
Schmedes
There are no DNA/bones to prove a lot of people or things exist.
MrAlaz10
If you wrote down "Unicorns exist" on a piece of paper and some archaeologist found it 2017 years from now would that mean unicorns existed?
BeansFranklin
Hate to break it to ya, pal, but the historical evidence for Christ is about as impressive as a gorilla's non erect dick.
Schmedes
Thanks for your opinion.
BeansFranklin
I haven't given you an opinion yet, just a fact and a juvenile simile. My opinion is that you're probably a butthurt Christian.
thedustygrad
Yes, okay, Yeshua existed. But, just for clarity, "Christ" wasn't part of his name.
Schmedes
Doesn't really matter what you call him, the dude existed whether you believe he was in some way holy or not.
Christoball
Yea, Christ actually comes from the greek Christos, translated from hebrew Meshiakh, and means "the anointed", and literally means Messiah.
Hillhome
And is a title not a last name. People seem to forget this when stubbing their toe for some reason.
SgtChowdown
Dunno why you were downvoted, Historical Jesus is a thing
spaizkadett
Where's the proof? All that exists are some scrolls. Might as well be fiction
SgtChowdown
That's fucking stupid. "Oh well there's only a minimal amount of evidence, let's ignore it". You're dumb as fuck.
spaizkadett
There are no proof at all. Only heresay, hardly proof.
AllMyPlantsAreDreaming
Pretty sure Jesus is just Greek for "Joshua". There were probably a lot of Jesuses in that part of the world then tbh
SgtChowdown
We have documentation of the guy who the story of Jesus was based off of though. Here's my best attempt at a summary: 1/
SgtChowdown
Jesus was a dude who was baptised by John the Baptist, was a Gallilean Jew, preached for ~3yrs after John's death, 2/

(AD) Anno Domini "In the year of the lord" IIRC
beneboy
Generic equivalents: AD->CE (Common Era), BC->BCE (Before the Common Era)
FindusSomKatten
and bc before christ vever understood why one was latin and one translated
ry2580
Weird thing is it was implemented 585 years after the death of Christ.
trubblebot
He covers that too. "the year 3 wasn't even the year 3 in the year 3." or something.
Schmedes
I was always taught AD = After Death which made sense to me but could be wrong.
popejubal
That is incorrect. It matches up nicely with English, but it's still incorrect.
kaztas
Nah it's latin. BC used to be "a.C.n" or "Ante Christum Natum" before the birth of Christ.
avaricemusic
Ive heard that as well but AD has been around longer than the English language. It's anno domini
ColoneISanders
A lot of people (including myself) were taught that but it is genuinely based in latin roots. Probably made it easier to teach children.
Schmedes
I'd assume the children part was the reason I remember it that way.
DrGonz0h
Made it more confusing for me. I was like "if BC is before christ and AD is after death, what about the 30 odd years christ was alive?
7thlevelLazerLotus
Yeah i used to too but it doesnt make sense for there to be 1 Before Christ followed by 1 After Death. There's 33 yrs missing there
Schmedes
Biblically it somewhat makes sense. He would "prove" himself as Christ upon resurrection and that would begin the new era.

mikeatike
Agreed. They go around thinking they are being persecuted, and they own the fucking calendar.
rylecx
there are heavy statistics that back up christianity being persecuted. This was a Roman thing that made it stick, not the religious backing
AVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryLostDragon
Yeah I was going to say, it sounds like he's pointing out the silliness of it all.
rylecx
Which is a bit sophomoric since we follow ancient calendars as well and no one cares cuz it's accepted measurement, like everything else
AVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryVeryLostDragon
True. And we'll continue to follow everything because that's how it is. To those not Christian it doesn't hold value aside from date keeping
rylecx
Which is the point so why bother mocking Christianity at all? pretty pointless other than a needless dig
