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.
