1. Louis C.K. is a famous comedian. He does stand-up comedy and had a series called Louis.
2. Bradley Cooper is a famous actor. He was is all of The Hangover movies and, more recently, American Hustle.
3. During an interview, Louis C.K. was making fun of no-name actors that like to sit in the audience and ask big stars, like Sean Penn, questions about how they made it big. The joke was that he said these guys asking questions will never become famous. It was a joke.
4. It just so happens that Bradley Cooper was once one of these no-name actors that sat in the audience and asked Sean Penn questions about his career.
5. Bradley Cooper is now famous.
6. The whole point of the link is that they’re saying Bradley’s success is a big “fuck you” to Louis C.K., basically because he proved him wrong by becoming famous after being the no-name actor Louis was making fun of.
7. There’s no news here. It wasn’t a “burn” or anything like that. These guys probably aren’t even aware that they have this connection. It just happens to be a bit ironic that Louis C.K. mentioned Sean Penn of all people, because that’s who Bradley Cooper was asking questions regarding being an actor before he ever got famous.
**If the confused folks still don’t get it after this, don’t bother trying. It’s not a big deal. This is the only place I’ve even heard of this – nothing bad will happen if you don’t know the point of the video. It’s pretty damn simple, though. Nothing even happened!
