Why Louis Litt is the Most Interesting Character on Television

Fans love Harvey Specter because of his fearless attitude, charming persona, and unceasing dedication when it comes to winning cases. They love Mike for almost the exact opposite reasons- he genuinely cares about his clients, he does almost everything according to the best interests of those he loves, and he's willing to lose sometimes if it means keeping things he cares about. However, for a long time, few people appreciated the raging storm that is Louis Litt. In recent seasons, he moved from a background character to one of the most equally loved and hated characters in the series. Whether you like him or not, as they say in Gossip Girl, "you're no one until you're talked about," and he is definitely one of the most talked about characters in the show. For the following reasons, I believe Louis Litt is one of, if not the most, interesting characters on any show on tv today.

1. He has his own catchphrases that incorporate his name:

2. He made mugs with said catchphrase and gave them out to everyone in the firm:

3. 1 word: Mudding.

Along with his love for the opera and theatre, Louis loves to go mudding. In his own words, "there's nothing to be afraid of...it's just good, clean mud!" **WARNING: This is something you cannot unsee, no matter how hard you try.

4. The dictaphone.

Instead of keeping a diary, Louis records everything on his handy, dandy dictaphone...including those rare compliments from Harvey, which we all know he replays millions of times afterward.

5. His cat obsession.

Although he seems to have a love/hate relationship with a lot of humans, his loyalty to cats is unfailing.


Ah, Louis Litt. He graduated at the top of his class at Harvard Law, yet he can't seem to understand normal social interaction. He ended a relationship because he wanted children and his fiancee didn't. He is a character built on so many quirks that it would take forever to figure him out and I think that is precisely why he is the most interesting character on television.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.

As most of us already know, Friends is one of the greatest television series ever produced. The cast is genius. The humor never gets old. The episodes are relatable and timeless.

I can easily say that I have watched each season at least three times and I belly laugh harder every time. All Friends fans can agree that there are certain lines that form a bond between us and when heard one cannot help but laugh.

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.
