Baskets new comedy series on FX

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

All I knew about this is that Louis CK is involved.

Well, it is weirdly wonderful. Zach Galifianakis, known to me only for his role in Hangover, plays a wannabe clown in a French clown school. Not able to hack it due to his lack of French language skills, he decamps back to Bakersfield and becomes a rodeo clown.

And this is the first few minutes. It's full of weirdly imaginative touches like the airbag that pops out after a moped crash. And who doesn't want to see an artistic clown act charged by a bull?

I laughed quite a bit. That's what comedy is all about. I used to like Louie CK's own show, but laughs have been pretty rare as he started to get kind of serious. I will be looking forward to the next episode in the life of Baskets the clown.

I forgot about Ted being in that. Yes, he (and the women) was great. Wish HBO would rerun them^^ - Road Warrior 21:03:12 01/30/16 (1)
