I didn't work on it. Aaron and whoever his team was at the time did. They did this way before I came on.
It would be cool to see something Ed Benedict based. A lot of stand-up routines translated to animation never look that great. They need to be more short form based, with a script and what have you.

I love this short. Did you animate on this? Who directed it, did Aaron?
What was Louis's involvement after recording and writing it?
I'd love for Louis to do some animation on Louie, it'd really take the surrealism up another notch.
I'd prefer something more Clampett inspired, though, or perhaps Ed Benedict/UPA/Tom Oreb, like that Lenny Bruce cartoon.

I totally understand Louie now.
Especially his boat captain obsession.

This looks like the Comedy Central show, Ugly Americans.

Looks like this is an early version. The finished version is on Louis CK's own youtube channel.

I liked the original better.

Me too, except the music in the final version I quite like.

Probably done by the same guy who does the Robert Smigel cartoons.
