Louie is frustrated wrapping Christmas presents for his daughters. Reunites briefly with old friend who dies suddenly. Goes to China.
When you break down the actual events of an episode of Louie, the consensus choice on the internet for everything that is perfect and poignant and beautiful and horrifying about human existence, they start to sound a little similar in their melodramatic banality. That’s the idea behind this brand new Twitter account, Fake Louie Episodes. It’s only gotten off the ground the other day, but already there are a few classics:
Louie sees a friend who just came out of a coma. Has to tell him about 9/11. Goes to Magnolia Bakery.
