Comedian Louis C.K. Ponders Gay Porn Sexpic
November 30, 2009 | 8 Comments
This amusing short film has been making the rounds of the interwebs for the last week, but I’m posting it in case you haven’t seen it yet (also, it’s still a slow news period). In the clip, comedian Louis C.K. explores the accidentally-on-purpose leak of a gay porn video in which he would star. A producer — played by a deadpan Bobby Cannavale — runs down the list of required sex acts that would really bring in the big bucks. (The whole thing is a promo for the comedian’s forthcoming show on the FX network.) A couple of our Constant Readers have expressed disappointment over what they perceive as the clip’s underlying tone of homophobia — that Louis C.K. has sunk so low he’ll consider man-on-man sex to revive his career. Thoughts? CLICK HERE for the YouTube linkage.

I missed the homophobic tone of the clip. If anything it seems to be a commentary on the “gay for pay” presence in the adult industry. Who knows? Maybe Malachi Marx had a similar conversation early on while considering career options.
Agreed. Whines of homophobia are from the overly sensitive. This is a great piece. Very funny!
I never liked his other show and while I really like many of the shows on FX this one I will be skipping
Tho I would like to see Bobby in a sex tape…
Damn T-Bird!! Why did you put that in my head?! WOOF! Who’s his agent? Have Falcon or Randy Blue contact him! I need Bobby to have a sex tape!
Nope. No homophobia here. I’ve seen Louis’ concerts on HBO and elsewhere. He’s pro-gay all the way. Looking forward to his new show as well.
What a pity there was not a undress rehearsal!
Louis isn’t progay. He just doesn’t care one way or the other. This was kind of funny, though. Not as funny as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VABSoHYQr6k&feature=player_embedded , but funny. He should stick to standup.
