Lucky Louie

Written by sdettorre

Sometimes people make discoveries when they were actually looking for something else. The examples throughout humankind are endless. Christopher Columbus, while sailing the Atlantic for an easier path to India, discovered the New World. All an 11-year-old Frank Epperson wanted was a drink of soda water powder and water but he forgot about it overnight on his porch and the next morning the world’s first Popsicle was sampled. Scott Howard, thinking he had to be the Wolf to get the beautiful Pamela Wells to fall for him, discovered Boof was really the one for him (much to Stiles’s dismay). Finally, I recently sat down for the 3rd season premiere for HBO’s Entourage and discovered, through sheer laziness in not changing the channel after Entourage ended, the funniest blue-collar comedy since Married With Children went off the air. Let me introduce you to my Boof, Lucky Louie.

Surprisingly enough Lucky Louie (Sunday 10:30 HBO) follows the life of Louie, played by the comedian Louie C.K. Louie lives in a modest apartment with his wife Kim and young daughter Lucy. The show opened with Louie, Kim and others standing around a table as Lucy opened her birthday gifts. This is Lucy’s 4th birthday. Of course she received the random little girl gifts like a Barbie doll, a birthday cake, a handgun. That’s right, Lucy’s deadbeat Uncle Jerry gave her a handgun. Her parents of course made her give the gun back to Uncle Jerry even though he repeatedly said it was a replica. Needless to say, Uncle Jerry and the gun left the party pretty quickly.

After the party cleared out Kim went to give Lucy a bath and left Louie alone in the kitchen with a birthday cake in the trash can, a tabloid, and an empty closet. Louie took a bite of cake from the garbage, caught a glimpse of Jessica Simpson in the tabloid and hit the closet for a little “Louie Time”. Almost every guy has been caught doing what Louie was performing in the closet. Usually it isn’t in the kitchen closet though. A bathroom, bedroom, or basement sure, but the kitchen closet is a first I’ve heard of. Anyway, after Kim caught Louie in the act she asked him how often he did “that”. Louie answered as honestly as any married man would. He said he doesn’t do “that” very often, only every single time his wife leaves the house. Kim then promised him sex every night for the next seven days. Louie, seeing how he hadn’t had this thing his wife called sex in 4 months, was on board with the whole idea.

It took the intervention of Louie’s friends and co-workers at the muffler shop he works at to open Louie’s eyes as to his wife’s true intentions behind her promise of intercourse for the next seven days. According to Louie’s friend Mike (played by Kurt Russell’s chubby friend from Overboard), Louie’s sex drought caused him to lose his judgment and rational thinking. Kim only wants to have this marathon sex because she wants another baby and it’s her time of the month to strike while the iron is hot. Mike knows these things because he’s on wife number three, Tina. He said he finally got marriage right with Tina. He makes the money and since she’s had her womb sealed up, she lets him “slip it in anytime”. If that’s not a loving relationship in the mold of Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham I don’t know what is.

Louie’s other friend Rich, who doesn’t work with Mike and Louie and wears only a brown bathrobe in a muffler shop, told Louie Kim didn’t suddenly wake up one morning, look at his freckled member and tell herself, “Oh yeah, I want that in me”. Of course she wants a kid. Then he left to sell drugs in the bathroom.

For the next few days Louie tried to avoid having sex with his wife. She plays up the sex appeal by bending over in front of him and slapping her ass, walking around in hot little numbers and basically just telling Louie she wants him. I know a lot of guys who have gone to bed with a woman for a lot less. A LOT less. Louie’s contention is they cannot afford to have another child even though they promised themselves Lucy wouldn’t be an only child. Louie stuck to his guns for so long but eventually he gave in and had sex with his wife. They went home to fool around after Louie declared to the entire population of a Western union that he was going to go home and (I’m paraphrasing here) make love to his wife until a part of her anatomy fell off. Much like watching Old School on TBS instead of the theatrical version, Louie’s unedited way of saying it was much funnier than mine.

A side issue throughout the pilot episode is Louie’s attempt to make friends with his new neighbors down the hall, Walter and Ellen, who happen to be African-American. Things got off on the wrong foot when Lucy didn’t want their birthday present and started to cry (she stopped crying when Uncle Jerry gave her his handgun present). Since Lucy didn’t want the gift, Louie threw the gift in the garbage. When Louie was taking the garbage out Walter saw the gift and was understandably offended. To make up for it Louie invited Walter and his family to his place for dinner in a few days. On the day of the dinner Louie forgot and answered the door just as he and his family was finishing up dinner. Finally, Louie tried once again to make up for the gaffe by inviting Walter to a bar-b-que. After reassurance there actually would be a bar-b-que, Walter agreed if Louie would admit he was only being nice to Walter because he wanted a black friend. Louie told him he was right and they shook hands. First there was George Costanza and Carl the Exterminator, then Peter Griffin and Cleveland, now there’s Louie and Walter to continue the fine tradition of black-white male friendships on TV.

Similar to how the New World blossomed into the world’s greatest country and the Popsicle became one of the better frozen treats of the 20th century, my accidental discovery of Lucky Louie has the potential to rival Scott Howard and Boof as one of the greatest love affairs ever told.
