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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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
― let free dom ring (J0rdan S.), Friday, 12 June 2009 08:03 (fourteen years ago) link
I think you have to have been that guy in the bookstore to really make a good joke out of it.
― Brundlefly (kenan), Friday, 12 June 2009 08:09 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

Saw some stand-up of his for the first time last night since he was on MTV Awards a few years ago, and his body language was identical to a youth minister on a christian television station.

Caught a few minutes of this guy's act on the weekend and yeah, he's awful. The worst aspects of Sam Kinison and Dennis Miller but at least those guys had decent material. That "Family Guy" parody was pretty OTM ("Is he saying something funny?" "I dunno, but he's moving around a lot.")
