Father’s Day with Louis C.K.

Louis C.K. has a new show on HBO and Jon Stewart’s interview with is hilarious. Jon makes the mistake of asking him about his family and he tells him about his two daughters—but with a slightly different take than most proud fathers.

Louis: The one-year-old I don’t have an opinion about … she’s kind of boring. The other one is four years old and I love her very much, but she’s kind of a fucking asshole.
Jon: Does she watch the show?
Louis: I don’t care, she can kiss my ass.
Jon: (guffaws) That’s just not right…
Louis: Look, first of all, don’t go defending someone you don’t know. Here’s the thing with her, right? … So I’m talking to my wife the other day and the four-year-old just breaks in—she doesn’t give a shit who’s talkin’—and goes “Momma I saw a doggie today”. So I go, “really, where was the doggie?” and she goes “I’m tellin’ mom, not you!” So I go, “Hey fuck you, I’m just being polite by askin’” … like I really give a shit about the doggie … like that was gonna be a great story about how she saw a dog. She’s an asshole.

The transcript doesn’t do it justice; you have to see the delivery to get the full effect. The guy is just perfectly deadpan.
