In a word: funny.
Not your typical funny either - he seemingly doesn't even need to try. A lot of comedians, even professional ones, feel like they're putting on a 'shtick' when they get up on stage- a false personality - their 'funny' personality - that isn't really them, but makes them feel more safe on stage because acting 'normal' would leave them too exposed. The result is that, while most comedians can be very funny, many come off as less than congruent.
Louis C.K. isn't that. He's just a guy who's naturally funny. He's frank, and comes off likely exactly how he does every other not-on-stage moment of his life. In fact, his 'jokes' are merely reflections of his life, and it's some of the funniest material I've seen from a comedian ever. Check out the clip below.
