Video: Louis CK explains his very, very mild racism on SNL

Typically genius

Controversial stuff from Louis CK on Saturday Night Live

Louis CK is one of our favourite comedians. The comedian has made a career out of crossing the line of good taste and this is his finest/lowest (depending on how easily offended you are) moment.

After explaining how, having grown up in the 1970s, he has a very mild case of racism he gets into describing how his kids are like Israel and Palestine and then tells a very politically incorrect story about McDonald’s.

Well worth a watch. Needless to say, the reaction in the States ranges from high praise to damning condemnation.
