Dane Cook

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.

New breed of bad comics (Dane Cook, Carrot Top, Sinbad) not as bad as old breed (Bob Hope).

(Rip Taylor, Joan Rivers)

uh

Really

"I wanted to park my car in Beverly Hills, but I didn't have enough Drachmas for the meter."

Joan Rivers was / is an amazing and ground breaking standup comedian.

New breed of bad comics (Dane Cook, Carrot Top, Sinbad) - Perhaps you weren't watching cable television in the 80's..

ah sinbad, a refreshing new breed of comedian. finally.

Since Twain, I mean.

Old School = Vegas
New School = 80s comedy-club revival to present.

OK, I'm half covering my ass.

Somewhere there's a message board where good-looking, optimistic, genuine Dane Cook fans are making fun of jaded, hyper-aware, depressing people like us.

That message board is called the parking lot of a Checkers.

That message board is called the a dorm

That message board is called a dorm, even.

Dane Cook: Mario Cantone is so gay, that when gay people walk down the street and see him, they're like, "Fag".
Mario Cantone: I'm still waiting for you to come out, bitch!

*grinds teeth, blood boils, etc*

his jokes have decent premises but the actual jokes are terrible and his persona is terrible - i honestly believe that he makes his fans feel okay about being misogynist whether he intends to or not

this thread really needs shirtless jay bl4nch4rd pic

I'm with Jordan, actually -- that video makes him look like his show is going to be funny. Nobody really cares about bad taste. Bad taste is just in-the-know. And whatever, it all lives or dies on the punchline, and the dude has no punchlines. He's not funny. Period.

"what is it about bookstores that makes people think they can lay on the fucking ground?" <- i think this is a good premise for a joke - gaffigan or galifinakis could do something with this - but there's just nothing good from him after that

I think you have to have been that guy in the bookstore to really make a good joke out of it.

Or at least empathize with him. Hate is never pretty, as they say, but it can be very funny. But you have to make yourself the victim of the hate and also take the audience along with you. It's tricky and it's not easy.
