That particular Louis CK clip also was somewhat life-changing for me in terms of appreciating standup. It occurred to me there is… something almost pastor-like going on here, where people gather in-part to hear a comedian speak truths.
(that said, I think there are maybe something like 10 clips I currently know of that approach this level)

Yeah, that’s a good way to put it. Although it depends on the style. Most comedians focus more on getting cheap laughs than on insight and truth. But when you get the latter, it’s great.

For me I can’t recall them all off the top of my head, but it’s probably closer to a few dozen clips.
