Famous comedian Louis C.K. wrote and directed the movie Pootie Tang! Find out why he later disowned the movie

Louis C.K. Is one of the hottest comedians of the last few years, creating a rabid fan base with multiple comedy specials and an award winning show. But Louis has been in the business for a long time, mainly writing and directing movies you'd never expect.


Check the credits for 2001's Pootie Tang and get shocked to see that Louis C.K. takes both the writer and the director credit.


Pootie Tang is a comedy movie adapted from a comedy sketch from The Chris Rock Show about a hero from the ghetto that battles evil Corporate America who are constantly trying to steal his magical belt and make him endorse addictive products, thus selling out.


The character speaks in completely unintelligible jive that everyone in the movie seems to understand, but the audience is left in the dark.


Louis mentioned that once the film was done he was all but fired from editing. Ali LeRoi was hired to do extensive edits and the final product was far from Louis's vision.
