Life with Louie: Difference between revisions

To this day, the show [[Keep Circulating the Tapes|is still not available on DVD,]] despite being good enough for a proper release.

 

 

----

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Both Andy and Louie can never win. Even Louie's younger brother treats him like this.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Several, but the most used:

* [[Celebrity Toons]]: Natch, and one of the rare cases where the celebrity involved did the voice work.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: Literal example. Both Louie and Andy are ''very'' skilled at chess, but it's not reflected by any other skills typical for [[The Chessmaster]].

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Andy, without a shadow of a doubt.

* [[Comic Role Play]]

* [[Fake Ultimate Hero]]: Andy portrays himself as an incarnation of some god of war in his stories. In one episode he scared a squirrel that attacked Louie, however each time he was telling somebody about it, he was replacing it with more dangerous animals. It ends with a story where he handles giant grizzly with his bare hands.

** [[Lampshaded]] in "Alive! Miracle in Cedar Knoll, Wisconsin." Andy chases off a small animal that spooked Louie and Tommy. As the years went by and the story was re-told, the small animal somehow became a bull and then a bear.

* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: According to Louie, how you feel after getting hit in the ear with a slush ball makes you want to "swear."

* [[He Who Must Not Be Seen]]: Played with for Andy and Ora's eight other kids. Sometimes they've been outright seen, but usually [[The Faceless|the]] [[The Ghost|three]] [[The Voice|variants]] are made use of in some fasion.

* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: [[Take Our Word for It|Some sources]] claim the show is available on DVD in Poland. Other than that, good luck buying it!

** It is available in Poland indeed, but only the first two seasons, and without English audio.

* [[Nostalgia Filter]]: How Anderson was able to turn an emotionally abusive childhood growing up with an alcoholic, wife-beating father in the slums of St. Paul, Minnesota into this.

* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: How Louie proved to Ora that everybody are going nuts without [[Jerkass|Jen Glen]]

'''Andy:''' What war? }}

* [[Papa Wolf]]: Andy.

* [[Politician Guest Star]]: President [[Dwight Eisenhower]] appeared in one episode, though [[Invisible President|we didn't see his face]].

* [[Shaped Like Itself]]:

'''Andy:''' ''[[A Few Good Men|You can't '''handle''' the truth!]]'' }}

* ''[[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]''

* [[Talking to Himself]]: Louie Anderson voicing both his younger self and Andy.

* [[Tomboy]]: Jenny.

* [[We Want Our Jerk Back]]: In one episode Glen Glen's mother, Jen, [[Jerkass]] and [[Large Ham]] feared in the entire town, lost her voice to everybody's relief. At last at first... [[It Got Worse|Then]] entire town started acting like if they were turned into some decayed [[Dark World]] or even [[Mirror Universe]] versions of themselves. In the end they all worked together to raise enough money to pay for her operation. Even Andy, who hates Jen's guts, gave everybody a [[Rousing Speech]].
