Louis CK: >I was on an airplane and there was high speed internet on the airplane… it’s fast, I’m watching YouTube clips, I’m on an airplane. It breaks down, they apologize, and the guy next to me is like “This is bullshit..." >Like how quickly the world owes him something he knew existed only 10 seconds ago? >Flying is the worst one, people come back from flights, they tell you their story and it’s a horror story. They act like their flight was like a cattle car in the 40s in Germany. >"It was the worst day of my life! First of all we didn’t board for 20 minutes. And then we got on the plane and they made us sit there on the runway for 40 minutes. We had to sit there." >Oh really, what happened next, did you fly through the air incredibly, like a bird? Did you partake in the miracle of human flight, you non-contributing zero? >You’re flying! It’s amazing! Everybody on every plane should be constantly going ‘oh my God, wow!’ >You’re sitting in a chair in the sky >….Here’s the thing, people say there are delays on flights. Delays, really? New York to California in 5 hours. That used to take 30 years. And a bunch of you would die on the way there. And have a baby. You’d be a whole different group of people by the time you got there. Now you watch a movie and you take a shit and you’re home. [VIDEO] - his delivery starts at around 2:00 but he starts with additional jokes.

Just to clarify, that was a Louis CK bit. I enjoy both of their comedic styles. Louis does it in a stand-up special, but here is a good Conan clip, with a great title: [VIDEO]

No I haven't seen that skit, link it if you can. Louis CK tells a similar anecdote on Conan "Everything is amazing and nobody is happy". The passenger beside him is upset that the on-board wifi went down. [VIDEO] The whole clip is hilarious.
