Louie – Bully

Louis CK’s show Louie is probably the best thing on television since Curb Your Enthusiasm or The (British) Office (and, interestingly, Ricky Gervais has been involved, at least tangentially, in all three).

Watch the whole thing if you can (there is one coherent theme), but if not, watch the second segment. Below, or here.
