Louis C.K. Fox News Parody: Louie Loves Masturbation (VIDEO)

It's always refreshing to see comics have fun with Fox News. And for once, Fox was in on the joke.

Last week on "Louie," Louis C.K. achieved the impossible and made us almost feel a little bad for Dane Cook. On this week's episode, he showed up on Fox News' chat show "Red Eye" to discuss masturbation, defending a stance once quipped by Woody Allen, that it's "sex with someone I love." It was a true pleasure to listen to Louie discuss his true pleasure.

Greg Gutfeld of "Red Eye" played himself, and "Louie" appears to use the actual Fox studios for the segment. (Both Fox News and FX, the network "Louie" appears on, are owned by News Corp.) The episode used the "Red Eye" bit as a jumping off point to extensively explore sexual mores, but here's just a clip of Louie appearing on Fox News.

One of the best shows on TV!

I saw the full clip. It was 100% 'fake'. Sometimes Fox borderlines on performance art.

What are you talking about. The clip was not from Red Eye, it was from Louie!

That's even funnier!

I'm gonna go home and do it and think about you and there is nothing you can do about it.

Louie's Eyes: "If you're so concerned, you can give me a hand here"

Louis is pretty funny but Fox News is funnier.

Shouldn't it last longer than 31 seconds? The clip, I mean.

The ad shouldn't be longer than the clip itself!

I just watched the full episode. Hilarious, but not exactly a realistic portrayal of Fox News. In reality, the issue would be far more one-sided. The host would automatically side with whatever the nice Christian woman had to say, and be much more aggressive toward the heathen.

But of course I understand why Louie couldn't write it like that. Fox was nice enough to participate, he couldn't really slap them in the face in return.

No surprise... you have never seen Red Eye.
Stick to Stewart and his audiences chock full of approval clapping seals.

Someone sounds like a serious Red Eye fan :]

While I agree that Craig212 doesn't seem to realize the difference between the various Fox commentators with whom he obviously disagrees (as do I), and the rest of the Fox lineup which basically has little to do with politics, I do take issue with your comment about Jon Stewart, except for the clapping seals. Otherwise, he and his writers and cast are genius.

What is it with all the clapping? Actually, by comparison, though, the worst offenders are the late night talk shows. I had to stop taping Letterman because he's the worst offender, unless he has an interesting guest. Then I fast forward the monologue.

Society has allow ANYTHING to be talked about!...we are sinking FAST!

[So silly]

Considering almost everyone masturbates I cannot understand what is wrong with talking about it.

[Kathleen Morse]

shellfish789, Yes everything is talked about openly today. Unless you try to ask a Republican the truth about anything that has to do with them. Like asking Michele Bachman how she would submit to her husband as President or ask Gingrich why all of his staff walked out. Those kinds of talks are not OK

c'mon. you're off topic. couldn't you find enough places to voice your political opinions without taking on Louis CK and a humorous story?

[Craig 212]

09:30 AM on 08/13/2011

I just watched this week's Louie. That wasn't in there. Next week, maybe?

edit -- OH, it turns out there were 2 episodes on this week. My lucky day.

That... was... awesome! Ahhhhh....

Republican mantra, God's law triumphs over man's law. President Good Hair will make use of new technology to peer though walls and monitor porn on the Internet to stamp out this vice.

Another one off topic. Can't stay away from politics? There is a Rick Perry story today with lots of hits. Wasn't that enough for you to voice your opinion about him?

(... and don't automatically assume anything about my politics. I just like to get away from it now and then, and there you guys pop up to spoil the illusion.)

Also lame.

[Alice Radley]

Well, you you get to the part in the show where he actually whacks it, it's not quite so tame.

[rockysparks]

02:15 PM on 08/13/2011

Well, when I want to see that, I can probably find better male porn online ...

Obviously God had to masturbate to create the universe initially. Think about it.

I never realized "the Hand of God" was used in this manner...
