Louis CK tackles racist chickens in SNL monologue


Tenement Museum - SNL

Louis C.K. kicked off hisSaturday Night Livemonologue this weekend with a well-known joke setup: Why did the chicken cross the road? he asked the audience. The punchline? A lengthy explanation about how this chicken was racist for being afraid of a black man behind him.

He thought, Maybe if I crossed the road, then if he crossed the road, then hes definitely following me," C.K. said. So he crossed the road, and the black guy went home. Hes living his life. And the chicken was like, Im such a racist. And he felt bad.

C.K. went on to point out that chickens are very closed down, suspicious, and prejudiced, partly because their species murder rate is 100 percent. After doing his impression of a chicken looking paranoid, he made even more animal jokes Every moose looks like a dude who just got turned into a moose right before you looked at him, he said, referring to the constant surprised look on a mooses face and later, touched on how his life has changed now that hes a successful comic who can stay at five-star hotels.

I was always happy when I was strugglingbecause when your life sucks, it just sucks, he said before recalling sleeping at run-down highway motels. You dont expect anything. But when your life gets good, you start expecting it to, so you get unhappy. Examples include becoming annoyed at fancy hotels elaborate customer service and then becoming annoyed when fancy hotelsdonthave elaborate customer service.

Watch the whole monologue above.
