Dane Cook

I don't think that is automatically a bad thing. I may not be a huge fan of Dane Cook but I don't like the author's assumption that you can't be both a normal person and be a great comic. The funny comedian with a dark, dark secret is also a pretty stale clichè in itself.

if the line had been "the end of the comedian as we knew him -- occasionally funny" then it might have made a bit more of a point.

Revive on the almost-anniversary of the last post. I almost want to disinfect my computer screen every time a Good Luck Chuck ad appears.

I'd never seen the guy til these promos for postseason baseball he's doing for Fox, and I didn't know it was him until today. DIE.

haha morbs join the party

my friend ben is from the same town as dane cook so i told him hes responsible for killing him - hopefully thatll work out

his "relationshit" joke has the merit of being the least funny joke ever made

Jessica’s hot. Dane’s funny. Dan’s perverted. See their movie. Good Luck Chuck, in theaters Sept 21.

^^^From facebook. very concise but accurate-sounding summary of the film i would think

who the hell is dan?

Pope Dan Perry in his widescreen debut

so dane cook is really good in windy city heat.

and that's surprising how?

A few months ago I searched Zach Galifinakias (sp?) vids on youtube. They ALL sucked. Not funny. (Well maybe except the Kanye video rip.) Then I searched the much maligned Dane Cook and lolled and roffled and lmaod. Utterly pedestrian stuff but the dude just has 'it'.

NOTA BENE anyone who likes Earl should be gassed.

wait are you serious? zach is amazing. dude can work a crowd like a mofo.

HE DIDNT WORK THIS CROWD!!!!

Maybe it's just what's available on youtube. I'd make it a point, back in the day, to catch him whenever he was on Leno Or Letterman or Conan, and I loved him. I think he's losing it though. Check out his appearance at SXSW opening for Dane. He is fucking pitiful. (it's on youtube)

xp to chaki

and yeah that vid max linked to: UGHHHH

he seems to be really bitter and jaded in his performances as of late. dane cook plays "roman polanski" in windy city heat. lol

i just rewatched the SXSW clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UYh8RYMbp4

and it doesn't seem so bad this time. i actually like the fact that once he realizes he's not exactly preaching to the choir, but rather probably a bunch of frat fuxx, he bails.

'it'

by 'it' I mean 'the secrest factor'.

man, to be in the same room as dane cook, ryan seacrest, and ty pennington.

then to leave that room and let in a bagful of cobras.

they are like three badly failed clones of matthew modine

ok i forgot about this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKPQbNoP5_s which redeems zach gaulliphynakkis' youtube ouevre

stop hating fun on xmas eve

exactly.

Dane Cook could buy and sell most people on this thread.

worthington's law.

bill gates is the funniest man in america

i love stoooopid hoo-mor, but dane cook is just shite.

I try not to waste my energy hating him but his jokes are so awful

however now that I know he's gotten rich off it I figure I must be wrong, thanks wp

Cook's 7-hour set breaks comedy record

maximum lock'n'lol

"If this rivalry keeps up I'm going to turn the Laugh Factory into a bed and breakfast," club owner Jamie Masada said.

ouch my sides hurt. Now that guy needs to be onstage...

audience "endurance" record

"you know what i call that kind of girlfriend? a TURDfriend! you know??"

i saw this fucking guy in a trailer and he seems awful. obviously in five years when he's done a movie with peter weir or ang lee or whatever future-gershy will revive this and laugh at me.

ang lee's next movie- "Wilde", starring dane muthafucking cook. Five Stars, The Observer.

these "record breaking" stand up sets are not impressive at all.

that zach g clip upthread looks really old (no beard!)?

anything i thought it was funny. sorta reminds me of michael showalter's catskills comedian bit in wet hot american summer.

I don't think Cook is great shakes either but I've listened to plenty of his stuff in my brother's car and I think he has a lot more going for him than many here credit him with (He really IS funny sometimes). I still prefer Patton Oswalt or even David Cross when he decides to be funny and not whiny, but honestly guys like Bill Maher and Lewis Black could die in a horrible elevator accident and that would be less of a loss to funny than if Dane Cook missed one show after coming down with a cold.

Also, this may be setting the bar low, but during my viewing of the most recent Comic Relief, Dane Cook was the only one who made me laugh out loud.
