I remember telling my fiancee and her family that HBO was bringing back their Half Hour Comedy show "One Night Stand", that was a regular feature back in the 1980's. Little did I know that we would fine such an amazing and talented comedian. Louis CK is quick, funny and so hilarious. We had to watch this special three times to catch all the jokes we missed because we could not stop laughing. Anytime I get into an argument with my friends and family, we end it with "Shut up and eat your french fries! Also try to catch his earlier "One Night Stand" from 1996 that is shown on HBO Comedy. Just as funny!

Louis CK's One Night Stand was an HBO stand up routine done a few years back and although it is only 30 minutes long, it is a great buy. I am a huge fan of Louis' work and always find myself having to pause or rewind in-between bursts of laughter to catch all of the jokes. Hands down one of the best comedians out there and this is some of his most original work.

Saw Louis on HBO and had to get this one night stand video. This is absolutly hilarious, Just imagine a pissed off guy who tells you about his different daily excapades and his insights that turn into rants. Here is the good part! You will see yourself in these situations(i did)made me laugh at them now. Just my opinion but He is actually telling/showing us to lighten up, make fun of yourself. Sometimes over the top, but the good ones always are lots of cursing if that offends you. Buy it, it wont disappoint

GREAT material for me!

The final cut set is pretty short (~30 min), but it kept me laughing--which is better than some that are an hour with some downtime. Some of the jokes had me laughing harder than I have in a while. There's plenty of extras too if a 30 minute feature isn't long enough.

There's about 15 more minutes of deleted jokes from the set and you can watch them all back-to-back with a "play all" feature. My ONLY negative for this DVD is that you don't have an option to watch a full, uncut version. Not that big of a deal though.
There's also an early set Louie did in '95 at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Apsen -- Young Comedians Special -- that's about 20-30 minutes itself. It's interesting to see how his act and stage presence has evolved. You can tell it took him a little while to warm up to that performance--not that it was bad or anything.
There is a behind the scenes segment from his first show "Lucky Louie" too. A trailer for the show too.
It's totally worth the current $8!

Louis CK is the next Carlin. His outstanding sense of humor and look on life is precisely the feelings that I'm sure millions of people share. If you like a comedian that "keeps it real" then this is by far a must see along with his others. He also recently released an online video for 5 dollars that is another full length special. He is a revolutionary comedian that is surely going to be talked about for a while.

This is the one that got him noticed! There was no stopping Louie after this... His great short lived HBO series "Lucky Louie", 3 full length funny as hell follow up DVD's. I have seen him live twice and he does a whole new set every time I see him. He never rehashes old material. He is the comedian of the over 40 males and females alike! This guy hits it in the pocket from this DVD and onward! From His marriage too his happy divorce! His show on FX "Louie" is the funniest sitcom ever! Renewed for a 3rd season...Louis C.K is here too stay! That makes my life a hell of a lot better! Life without laughing your ass off is no life for me!

This is an early show by Louis and you get to see a lot of material that is later used on Lucky Louis. This is classic Louis and damn funny.

"Hey man you didn't have to b*ow that guy you know, he just hangs out here."

I love Louis' material. His material is relevant, raw, self deprecating and hilarious. His timing is always great and he always comes across as a really cool guy that you would want to grab a beer with. Although watching, especially this bit, you can see why he got divorced. I think the reason I love Louis' material so much is that I hate people as much as Louis does. He gets sick of everyone and explains why his wife, kids and people he meets suck. I'm not even a parent but his material about his family is some of my favorite.

I think Louis is one of, if not the, best comedian in the world. I saw him live a few years ago and I almost died from laughter. There were literally several times my sides were hurting so much I almost had to get up and walk out because I couldn't breathe and thought I was going to pass out. I've seen lots of comedians and nobody tops Louis live.

This is Louis CK at his best, just as he was rising to fame. This 30 minutes flies right by, and it's over so quickly. It's got his signature cynicism, rawness, and irreverency, but with an honesty and straightforwardness that makes it that much funnier. The climax is simply brilliant, as Louis relates how he has to deal with an unending barrage of "why" from his daughter. He takes the joke into an arena that I don't see other comedians broaching, describing how his 6 year old daughter questions his answers until he ends up in an existential rant. There are a lot of funny comedians out there, but nobody can go from basement level, sophomoric humor to intriguing philosophical questions within minutes like Louis CK.

I've always loved Louis CK and I have a comedy movie night with some friends, so I bought this to watch. I got a great copy and Louis CK is hilarious (as usual). I think for the most part you can watch about everything from this video on YouTube, but it's still worth having. A couple jokes were not available on YouTube.

Not as funny as "Shameless" or "Chewed up". It is funnier than his newest(Hilarious), which really disappointed me. It's like a "mini" version of Shameless with just a few different things.
