In one standup routine, C.K. claims that he has, '“only the courage for a perfect life” — a life without adversity. It’s a rare moment of dishonesty from television’s most honest man.'
I think the reviewer got it wrong here. Louis CK isn't saying he's living a perfect life there for he has courage. CK is being honest in saying he isn't living a perfect life therefore he has no courage. He is really every man "without courage", but because he admits it, is singled out as strange and different, and it makes the line funny but ironic.
- dandelany 14y agoI think you're right about the joke - Louie's saying he only has enough courage for a perfect life, but since his life isn't perfect, he's a scaredy-cat when it comes to dealing with any "real problems". But I think the reviewer weirdly got it right here - he's saying in a strange roundabout way that Louie's honest material shows that he is more courageous than he gives himself credit for.
