he's also done the opposite the "I don't even have 'no money'" routine.

He also tried to buy a 22 million dollar house in Louie, and succeeded despite his accountant's insistence that he could not afford the $70,000 a month payment. So there you go. Both at the same time.

  Succeeded? I don't think he did. He ended up just getting a different apartment I thought.

    I'm a little fuzzy, but wasn't he painting his kids' rooms in that house at the end of that episode?

      He was repainting the living room of the apartment he was already living in. I took it to mean that he made the best of what he had.

When, and what was the bit? Also: you've seen him live, right? How much did you pay for the tickets? Both times for me, the face was over $30, and both times the house was packed. Do the math on how many shows he does. He tours constantly; a new one every year. I don't think he's hurting. I think he's "only serious" when he jokes about having more money than everyone in the whole audience.

  That specific "no money" bit was a long time ago, way before you saw him and before his "Lucky Louie" show. So yes it's possible that at one point he had "no money." He's not the type of comedian that keeps doing a funny bit even if it isn't true.

  I saw him on the most recent tour and he mentioned something about flying first class, and then apologized but assured the audience that he probably won't be doing that long, he'll mess it up lol extreme paraphrasing, but I'm sure you all understand.

    It's on the video he's selling now, he says he flies first class because he has more money than the audience, and that this has been going on for eight months and will only go on for another year.

This is one of the BEST bits I've seen him do. "I have NEGATIVE five dollars. That means if something is free, I can't afford it!" Heheh, love his shows.

  That's the bit about the bank charging you for not having enough money, no?

he's also done the opposite the "I don't even have 'no money'" routine.
