Think your family is messed up? Think again. Watch comedians share their most ridiculous family stories on “This Is Not Happening:” kzfaq.info/sun/PLD7nPL1U-R5pgIBSOJV-fL4uIWR-DZbfI

What the audience doesn’t realize - the genius of Louie Anderson - he is taking them through a group counseling session because so many can relate to what he is saying. He is telling them, ‘we can make it through this together, I’m with you’ with an innate love for others. RIP Louie

I always found it amusing that his Young Louie voice is deeper than his Adult Louie voice.

“Not bad, but not freezing, but not livable” That sums up a Minnesota winter perfectly.

RIP Louie, one of the funniest comedians to walk the stage.

RIP Louie Anderson I hope you Mother greeted you with a big slice of Duncan Hines and you got to see your brother again. Rest easy thanks for the laughs

My Dad grew up with Louie and his brothers. He was big back then as well, but nobody picked on him cause he was so quick and witty and would get the best of them. He did a show up here a few years back and we went to see him. And he saw my Dad and was like "Hey how you been how's the old gang doing we should get together"....never forgot his roots🙂💯

This man tells the truth. "I love you, Mom, I love you Dad. Forgive your dad he didn't mean it." Between this one and Louie's other story about his family, I'm all teary-eyed right now.

i had louie in my lyft a few months ago he is an amazing person and he was nice enough to take a picture with me

Proof that comedy is just sadness turned sideways.

The Bonneville station wagon, the drinking veteran dad, the woods nearby with BB gun fights, the sledding street hill, "that's where the witches live", the scary pickled egg jar, the driving dad home after getting plastered....I just realized I'm Louie Anderson's blood brother from another mother.

Being from Minnesota, I can tell you that everything he described is 100% accurate. The thawed patch on the windshield, the snow globe effect when you hit a snow bank with your car, the small town bar, the mom saying "Oh my god...". What a great storyteller. I can almost feel and smell the story.

One of the best story tellers. Rest in peace Louie. You will be missed.

"I forgive you dad, you didn't mean it!" As a dad and a Navy war vet I appreciate it.

Louie never failed to make me laugh. I'll miss hearing his voice, rest in peace

Louie's always been underrated. One of the best storytellers.

I met Louie after a performance in Kansas City about 20 years ago. He was such a gracious man. Took pictures with myself and my then wife individually and as a couple and when we told him how much we loved his stand-up and his Fox cartoon he gave us both a big, genuine hug and thanked us for our support.

My pop was a WW2 vet. I can remember many nights that my dad woke up screaming " incoming..incoming" along with calling his men's names. Yet, i had a perfect and happy childhood. I was infinitely blessed. I married a man from a large family with a horrible father who was never in the military. I could NEVER understand how his kids defended him and mourned at his funeral. I refused to go and be a hypocrite. After listening to his narration of this story and his closing statement...i began to understand a little of my husband's feelings for his dad. Thank you and may you be held in the arms of angels for all the laughter and love you gave to others.

I’ve been watching old Louie stand up videos since I heard of his passing yesterday. This one is especially bittersweet. Rest In Peace, Louie. You are loved and will be missed.

I grew up in Louie's home town I'm from the same neighborhood he is. This man is hall of fame material

Really what a guy. Makes a story you could feel sad about worth giggling over. Such a kind soul, he will be missed. _May he rest well_ 🕊️

A true comedy legend. There will never be another like him. RIP Louie💔😔🤞🏾💯

Still great in 2023. Thanks for the laughs Louie Anderson!

He's got such a sweet heart and a serious talent.

I miss life with Louie.. that made Saturday morning on fox.

My favorite comedian. When VHS was just invented, I took a recording of him to show my mom. She loved him, too. MYLY Louie. ❤ You're with my mom now!

"Your just gonna go drink!......I'll bring the kids!" Oh the 60's.....

The pickled egg jar at my grandfather's VFW club in the 70s....Louie just described it.

RIP Louie. You were one of the greats through my whole life. You will be missed but remembered.

Mr Andersons recollections and storytelling and comedy is precious. And I thought that before he died. So there.

Sometimes the KZfaq algorithm ain’t too bad, thanks for the memories Louie ❤️

RIP Louie. Absolute legend.

You know why I love Louie Anderson? He always reminds me how important family is.

RIP LOUIE. You are deeply missed. Amazing comedian. I grew up on the cartoon Life With Louie so I e been watching him for decades.

This guy was born to be comedian, I love him, he's a genius.

May you rest in peace ,Louie. We love you! 💖🙏 Thanks for the laughs,your voice overs and your amazing story telling. 😥

Love everything this man has done, from his original standup, to Life with Louie and now the hillarious Baskets. He deserves so many more roles. Thank God for Zack G and Louis CK for putting this man back on camera

Rest in peace Louie

"Dad's were veterans....they drank sometimes" " Oh my God....he's a monster to them too" LOL 😂

Before TV, much like the native americans before us, every family had a story teller to entertain the tribe. Louis was the best.

I never saw him in person but of the thousands of hours I’ve seen of standup footage almost no one is as smooth and natural as Louie Anderson.

Couldn't believe my eyes when i saw Louie was back on the show. His FBI story might be my favorite

Brings back Saturday morning memories. Anybody remember Life With Louie?

He's a genius and is too good for the stage at this point, baskets is enough for him to be a legend dispite his 30 plus year legacy. Love you Louie! I met you in Indianapolis and you were amazing despite the freezing snow and you being late, I told you I was a lifelong fan and you made sure to chat and take pic

why did i start sobbing when he said “forgive your dad, he didn’t mean it”

He feels a lot more in his element this time, rather than last time. A lot more casual this time around, like a friend of your parents telling you a story he didn't tell you as a kid but is going to now that you're grownup and a fellow adult.

I could listen to him tell stories for hours.

Netflix needs to bring us life with Louie.

Louie is such a master of comedy. He is superb at telling a story in a way so that you become 100% drawn in. Then you forget your even watching a comedy bit and start laughing. Louie your the best!

Louie still brings the smiles to my face. I felt so sorry for him when he was I found out he was being black mailed and he tried to keep it quiet , but you know it drained him emotionally and mentally. But he came out of it still making people laugh...

I have been binge watching Louis Anderson for 2 days now.. watching this right now I found myself bawling my eyes out.. I have nothing but the purest White hot love for Louie Anderson.. he's funny he has heart and soul he's my Aries brother 0 I wish him blessings and I wish him to be showered with love his whole life

RIP Louie, these stories always made me so happy. I hope you’re out there with your mom and brother. 💜

You can imagine exactly what he's saying what a great story teller

Holy shit the Life with Louie nostalgia smacked me in the feels hearing his voice.

What an incredible story teller he was. He's a comedian's comedian, but at heart, this is a truly sad story.

I was 13 years old. Dad used to pick us up from school and take us to a local watering hole that he knew the owner of. Ms. Mattie.(we used to ride dune buggies and motocross bikes with her son. Dad got trashed one night at the bar and Ms. Mattie came up to me and said "You know how to drive on the streets right?..red means stop...green means go and stay on the right side of the road""... I wound up driving my dad home that night...and listened thru the bedroom wall as mom tore him a new one

The sadness and humor of it all. Makes you laugh, yet feel sorry for Louie and his childhood.

Came here after hearing of his passing today. Louie always seemed like the only comedian who was also a genuine person at the same time. He really just wanted to make people laugh. And he did.

Damn, this one hits home, I grew up poor in st Paul with a drunk single father, his funeral was on Monday, I've got a ton of stories like this one haha, wish I had the talent like Louie to share them

Rest in peace legend!! thank you for my beautiful childhood💔💔!!

Wow, such a bittersweet story. So much pain beneath the laughs... Love you Louie.

It takes a special talent to recount such a sad and painful story with such brutal honesty and make it hilariously funny. RIP to an understated great one.

Rip Louie! This set gave me more comfort than he could have known. Blessing to him wherever he is and those that see this!

Saw him in Vegas, he killed it. He stayed till the end and took pictures with me and my wife.

One of my favorite comedians of all time. R.I.P., Louie.

Louie always seems genuinely funny without even trying.

His story took me back to my childhood. Same, but I was 5 in that era. Growing up with a drinking WW2 veteran dad. My oldest brother was 10 and he was selected to drive when dad slumped and mumbled of past memories. A whole generation of us.

Beautifully done. Seeing back into a complicated past with loving eyes for what a mess it all was, little detail by little detail, all wrapped in this storyteller's magic warmth, "It's all right, it was awful, we were in it together." Masterful and helpful, teaching us how to laugh, it's okay to laugh as well as cry, at some pretty awful stuff. Thanks, Louie!

Wow. I never realized how sad his life was! He is finding it hard to laugh as he tells it. God bless you Louie!

Think I might call my dad after 7 years… RIP legend

I love Louie Anderson.. life with Louie was my favorite cartoon when I was little. Honestly thought he was dead so its nice to see he's still around

Louie's family oriented comedy is touching and brilliant, we all need these stories.

R.I.P. Louie, truly an underdog in the comedy world

Didn't know what it was? It's called LOVE! Love protects, it's the first thing it does among many. He said it at the end. "Forgive your father's he didn't mean it." Louie loved his dad you can hear it in his voice. God bless you Louie! Never stop forgiving. Everyone! It's all we have that truly heals.

From St Paul, lived through many winters, I know plenty about the moose lodge etc etc... his stories bring back great memories. Not always great ones at the time, but treasured ones for sure! Love you Louis ❤️

We will miss you louie!🙁

Louie is such a treasure. My parents still quote lines from his shows over 30 years ago.

How I love this man! Such wisdom. Such humor. Such intelligence and kindness.

Louie is an awesome story teller. Love the words of wisdom at the end.

Crazy how good he looks and sounds at his age

I found my way back to you today mr. Anderson. Thanks for the laughs and RIP

Louie is one of the most underrated, kind of cerebral old skool comics from the 80's that's still relevant......he is just funny, but also pretty weird which is just awesome.

RIP Louie, never gonna be another like you.

I Love Louie. He was my favorite comedian since I saw him on Baskets. Wow! He was brilliant! I was so sad to hear about his passing.

A TRUE Comedian. It's not WHAT you Say But HOW you say it.

He is one of the best storytellers around.

Louie Anderson is one of the best comedians / storytellers ever.

This made me cry, and not from laughter. So glad that I never had children, I'd be Louie's dad for sure. But hey, that adversity created an incredible comedian, and an amazingly kind soul, so at least some good came out of it. Peace and love, Louie.

Loved listening to Louie's stories about his family the older and newer ones are all hilarious, Another great comedian gone. RIP.

What a great storyteller. It's like when an older person tells you a story you just shut up and listen. You're a true gem louie

Anyone else watch Life With Louie growing up?

Rip to this great man. So blessed for his presence

My sister saw Louie Anderson in Vegas, said she he was really funny on stage. Lucky sis, she also got to see Dana Carvey in Vegas some years later...said she had tears in eyes from laughing so hard. Dana Carvey’s son got on stage after him, she said he was really funny too. I googled and found out both his sons do stand up. So maybe watch them next on KZfaq 😁 Party on, Garth.

I was tenth, I just slid out...Louie Anderson is a master comedian.

Louis Anderson still got it! Forever hilarious

A humorous take on a frankly serious and disturbing memory, Louie was great to listen to.

Louie still has that kid face 😂 so when he does the voices I can see perfectly and imagine every bit of this story 😂 💕 R.I.P.

I just discovered him last night, horrible news today rip thanks for making me laugh

I can drive, I DROVE A TANK! omg everyone knows this man

I miss Louie!!! Grew up with listening to him. Come back to show biz please Louie..... Please!
