Admitted creep Louis C.K. has found a new way to have a captive audience. While millions of Americans are homebound, the disgraced comedian released a new stand-up special for purchase on his website for those who “need to laugh.”

Over the weekend, Twitter users responded to the release of “Sincerely Louis CK,” which caused “Louis CK” to trend on the social media platform.

Some were excited.

I am halfway through the new Louis CK special and let me just say that it is so EFFORTLESSLY FUNNY and so much better than these “woke” (shit)comedians BS that’s been forced down people’s throats. More CK, more CHAPPELLE. pic.twitter.com/Qcg21Cv1Lt

Some were not.

That Louis CK special that just dropped was filmed in DC on March 8 (International Women's Day). The special costs $8. If you think that date and that price are a coincidence then you're a (didn't ask to see it) dick.

So, Louis CK is doing a Pay Per View (essentially) for fragile white men to have something to validate their privilege during this time of severe turmoil & prevalent outbreak?

Um, ok. I mean, that's a hard pass from me, but…

No, wait fuck that racist sexist POS. FUCK LOUIS CK pic.twitter.com/QpKcB1vVbh

Louis CK finally found a way to make money off sexually assaulting women…during a pandemic. #WarProfiteer

Are you wondering if CK addressed the scandal, which unveiled his history of masturbating in front of female colleagues without their consent? He did, reframing his years of sexual misconduct as an embarrassing fetish that was totally consensual. Then he throws in a half-assed Barack Obama impression for good measure.

"Everybody knows my thing now" 😂 #LouisCK is still the GOAT pic.twitter.com/hgLFyrpgma
