If the point of “Ridiculous” is for C.K. to drag his audience down with him, mission accomplished. It’s not a long trip.

It’s classic C.K.: superficially offensive but actually taking a kind of gleefully amoral route to morally defensible positions. And funny, too.

C.K. has the skill to make all these provocations pay off in context, and gives the sense he delights in walking a tightrope in full public view.

We’re left with reading between the lines to see where and when CK is trying to tell on himself without telling on himself.

I watched (because it’s my job) Louis C.K.’s stand-up comedy special, Ridiculous, and it was awful. It was a chore. It was painful to sit through.

It’s a thoroughly entertaining 60 minutes of daring, ridiculous stand-up.

Had a good time watching Louis C.K.: Ridiculous. Louis still definitely has that sharp delivery and knows how to get a crowd laughing. Not every joke landed for me, but I was entertained throughout and there were plenty of genuinely funny moments. As expected, the material is edgy, and at times it goes way beyond the edge, but that’s kind of what you sign up for with Louis C.K. If you’re a fan of his style, it’s worth a watch. ★★★½

1.5 stars because there were 3 jokes I laughed at, and about 250 I didn't. At the time, I didn't jump on the "cancel CK" bandwagon tho I thought it was skeevy and gross. But now I'm like either this guy needs electroshock therapy or he'll not be here for even another 15 years. And they're not going to be good years for him or anyone anywhere near him. He's like one of those guys at a bar or party who no one wants to talk to....so he farts. Just to make sure that absolutely everyone finds him as revolting as he apparently finds himself and anyone else. And in doing so he feels powerful and mighty--as pleased with himself as a 9-year-old boy--at "controlling" how repulsed people are by him. He's turned into the sort of person who casts a pall on everything and everyone around him. Bitter, enraged, self-loathing, despicable? Nah...that's not really even the core issue. It's that at this point he makes Andrew Dice Clay or Carrot Top look funny in comparison. He's a grotesque unfunny blob.

Short and sweet. Might not be his best work but easily the funniest special I've seen come out in a while.

It's not as funny as he once was. Seems like he has lost his edge. Jokes were not landing
