Louis C.K.: Shameless Quick Take

Just Like Our Regular Reviews. Only Smurf-sized.

By Jude Clement

Louis C.K. hates you. Don't take it personally. He hates just about everyone-his frigid wife, his filthy kid, everyone else standing in line at the post office, his annoying friends, skinny people, a guy who tools around on roller skates wearing only a banana hammock, and duck v-jayjays. He does love him some Ewan McGregor. And cookies. No, his act doesn't break new ground, but his operatic malevolence is so over-the-top you'll probably find yourself laughing more often than not. He's not for the squeamish, though, so sensitive ears might want to stick with The Brady Bunch.

Video and Audio

Filmed in front of a curtain on the stage of the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood, Shameless won't give your TV a workout, but its 16:9 video is crisp and clean.

The special is also closed captioned.

Extras

The comedian's first HBO special-"HBO Comedy Half-Hour: Louis C.K." (26:46)-is included as bonus feature, along with a lackluster commercial for his HBO sitcom Lucky Louis.

Summary

If you're in the mood for some good old roiling vitriol to cool off your summer day, be sure to check out Louis C.K.: Shameless.
