It's a good sort of melancholy. It really plays up the fact that if someone is depressed with who they are before they've "made it," there's a good chance they'll still struggle with day to day realities throughout and beyond their transition into wealth, success and fame. It's kind of like Seinfeld except the main character is a funny standup comedian. It's been probably 10 years since I watched it, don't even remember when it came out, but even the particularly sad or awkward episodes end with a standup bit like Seinfeld did. But again, they're actually funny, so instead of immediately skipping through banal observations about the world through a privileged lens bearing no actual relevance to the world or human condition at large played under credits so you can get to the next episode, Louie gives you a genuine laugh to take the edge off.

The lawyer’s face after he says that Louie has 7k in bank is priceless. It’s one of those little acting bits that you remember for years on end.

I think we've all been there where we fool ourselves into believing we can afford something just because we want it. Not to this extreme obviously but this is actually accurate to the way we feel sometimes.

Yeah it's scary how many people find their absolute max possible ceiling number they can afford, then just go shopping at that level exclusively.

Cracked me up:D Genius piece of work! love it!

One of my favourite scene of the whole series. So absurd and funny :D

People with $7,000 in savings don't usually have a cpa haha

Louis obviously has a lot of revenue, it's just that his expenses are huge as well. Having a $7000.00 net assets value doesn't mean he doesn't make millions of dollars. It's not strange that he'd have an accountant.

WalterLiddy. You're right. One thing though. I think you meant Louie, not Louis. Louis has obviously way more than 7k.

WalterLiddy lol I don’t think that’s what they’re saying. $7000 is all he had in his savings account, so maybe a little more in assets if he sells the furniture. This is a just a bit of the fictional absurdity Louis likes to play around with in this show, that someone with $7000 would be consulting an accountant to buy a $17 million house.

Been looking for this scene for a while now thank you

The melancholy of this show is actually uplifting

One of my favorite scenes in the show

dammit this is the saddest thing to laugh at

@Guybrush Threepwood Not owning a 17 million dollar home is the funny part. The sad part is, "You can own a $7,000 house." The subtext here, what the accountant is really saying, is, "You can't afford to own a house." There's an irony to it too because we're laughing at what he can't afford and bummed about what he "can" afford. It's a great little scene.

He can't afford to NOT have an accountant!

I love how when Louie asks the price of a house he could actually afford, the accountant quickly rechecks the bank statement balance he just read out to him.

I miss this show . I would watch it over and over again when it was on Netflix .

2:16 "Lets take a look at the numbers" smug smile :)

The accountant's face at 2:57 just slays me every time.

Can relate, I have this conversation with my accountant every week.

The "What about obama" XD part was like a final attempt at some promo code during checkout that would get the price down. Hilarious!

"You can afford a house that costs $7000"--priceless

Louie gets some great people to act in his show, the accountant killed it!

I just randomly clicked on this, and that was pretty funny. I actually laughed out loud a few times

This was such a god damn great show!

When you find out that the actor playing the accountant showed up in a STANLEY KUBRICK film.
