Louis C.K. has already gone down in history as one of the greats, arguably among the likes of George Carlin and Dave Chappelle. But what exactly makes his jokes so damn hilarious? What makes his stories stand out from the rest?

In the YouTube channel Nerdwriter, Joey Pecoraro dissected a Louis C.K. joke to figure out a formula that explains how he manages to get entire audiences rolling, from body language to delivery. And while not anyone could deliver a Louis C.K. joke like Louis C.K., it's still fascinating to try to pinpoint what makes certain comedians successful. (Just be prepared to not find this joke funny at all after you're done watching.)
