I love Louis when he gets deep. He is hilarious, and some of his horribly politically incorrect shit is amazing. But when he really gets to the heart of the issue I wonder if he's a comedian or just a really fucking smart person educating us all.

He has a little Hicks and Carlin in his routine. He makes some pretty deep points under the guise of comedy quite a bit, and I love him for it. He's more Bill Hicks style of comedy and enlightenment. Carlin was much more upfront about it, unlike Louis who hides it behind more comedy.

There was a clip, on Conan as well, from a couple years ago now where he was talking about people going on flights. He also talked about the economy crumbling in America, which also had some good insight. The whole bit was "Everything is amazing, and no one is happy."

Start at 1:55 - 6:00, couldn't find a youtube clip:

Like it's just a comedy bit, but he hits some pretty deep criticism of our society.

That cartoon is probably worth its own post. Thanks for sharing.

Frankly, I believe it's the latter utilising the former to reach a broader audience.
