...and I could have sworn we had a thread for it but I guess we don't so...

It stars this guy:



And here's what it's about:

TVTropes wrote:

Louie is a semi-autobiographic comedy show written by, directed by and starring stand-up comedian Louis C.K., shown on FX.In it, Louis C.K. is shown performing stand up material in clubs in New York (which is slightly reminiscent of Seinfeld), while also showing his post-divorce life with two daughters, set to a mostly dry soundtrack (or silence) and no Laugh Track. Most episodes have two stories. The stories deal with stuff like his issues with his aging mom, going back into the dating game at age 42, and his asshole doctor Ben (played by Ricky Gervais). Some of the material is based loosely on stuff he's put on Youtube before, and there's a surrealistic twist to a lot of the material, but overall the show gives the impression of being fairly true to life.The show is somewhat similar to Curb Your Enthusiasm in that it features no laugh track, and most of the humor is derived from excruciatingly awkward or painful situations. However, it doesn't have the season arcs that that show has, and each piece can be seen on its own. It's a pretty divisive show, with some people really hating it while others adore its frank and realistic feeling. Some episodes (like Season 1 Episode 11, "God") are less funny and more about significant experiences in Louis C.K.'s life that made him who he is.Two seasons of the series have aired on FX, with a third greenlit.

It's honestly one of the smartest comedies I've ever watched and it's often just as hilarious as it is poignant. Also, dick jokes.

Hot damn! Yes! Love the show, love his comedy, I'd also suggest his cancelled HBO show, Lucky Louie, although it isn't as good as his current show and very sitcom-ish.
