He seems to be the guy they are trying to force down out throats now. He has a couple of HBO things and a movie with Jessica Simpson.

COMPLETELY AGREE!

Its funny you posted this... on Friday, went out drinking with my roommates and a couple of our female friends... we came back to our house and turned on his HBO thing... we watched it for 20 minutes...

AND NO ONE LAUGHED. NOT ONE TIME. It was weird... especially when you consider that while drunk I find everything funny... I had never seen one of his routines either... but I thought he was a hack. Again, maybe he was just off... but he kept laughing at everything he was saying and making jokes about a bunch of stupid things I had heard before.

So we turned to SportsCenter to get some real entertainment.

this guy is terrible, most Boston comics don't care for him at all. Example, this month in Boston,, COMICS COME HOME, (THE LONGEST RUNNING COMEDY BENEFIT IN THE COUNTRY) is taking place and is hosted by Den nis Leary. Several Boston comics like Jay Len o, Steve Sweeney, Lenny Clarke, Bill Burr, Jim Norton, Patrice O'Neill, etc. he never gets invited, and struggles compared to most Boston area comics locally.

He has a big college following, not sure why

I don't know about this guy. I saw a little of his schtick on HBO one night a couple weeks ago. Nothing stuck with me, so I guess that's how big of an impression he left. He must be a college hero for some reason?

For some of the older guys in here......let's go back to the late 70's:


Remember a young guy named Steve Martin?

I remember my teenage friends laughing their asses off at this guy, and I said, "What the fukk is funny about this guy?"

He was huge! I ask you...........WHY??????


WTF did he ever do as a stand up, that was CLOSE to funny?


"EX-CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE, MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!"


Oh, yeah.......that's some top notch shit!

Yet, every stoned head in the crowd would piss their pants when this ass did that!

:shrug:


I think it's just like back then:



Kids are fukkking stoopid.

I am a huge fan of Dane Cook...

His HBO special was not that funny, except for the "movie date" part at the end.

If you listen to his cd's, you will probably understand him better. A lot of the schtick he does now is referring to stuff he did many years ago.

Plus he's banging Jessica Simpson!

Cook is a genius - he obviously caters his act for the chicks. Not many male comedians do that. Yeah, his stuff now (especially that HBO standup) is garbage, but he's cashing in and the ladies LLLUUUUVVVV him.

I enjoyed a couple of his appearances on Comedy Central shows, but I think he is probably more effective in short bursts. I agree that he is the flavor du 'jour and this is his 15 minutes in the limelight, and probably too much of a decent thing.

I'll take my two Mitch Hedberg CD's for starters, and go from there. May he rest in peace.

Hedberg-isms...

A lollipop is a cross between hard candy and garbage.

I want to get non-aerosol mace, you just rub it in. "Dude who is attacking me - come a little closer!"

My girlfriend works at Hooters. In the kitchen.

I want to get a vending machine, with fun sized candy bars, and the glass in front is a magnifying glass. You'll be mad, but it will be too late.

I saw a billboard for the lottery. It said, "Estimated lottery jackpot 55 million dollars." I did not know that was estimated. That would suck if you won and they said, "Oh, we were off by two zeroes. We estimate that you are angry."

I got a belt on that's holding up my pants, and the pants have belt loops that hold up the belt. What's going on here? Who is the real hero?

If you have to release bad news to the public, it would help if you are not ugly.

I saw a seagull hanging out by a lake, but I said, "Don't worry, Dude. I won't say anything."

I bought myself a parrot, but it did not say "I'm hungry", and so it died.

I went to a cigar store, the man behind the counter asked me, "What kind of cigars do you like?" I answered, "It's a Boys."

I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

Does it really take a genius to look like a Backstreet Boy?

I just checked out the first half hour of his HBO special, and the first thing I noticed was the amount of chicks in the crowd going ape shit for him.

Must be his "every man" campus nobody look? He just looks like every other guy on campus, to me!

Maybe that's why all the hipsters dig him? He's nothing special?!?!

He's a poor man's Will Farrell, and I can't stand him, either.

Just out of curiousty, those who do not like Cook, who are your fave comedians ?

Well Cris Rock is funny if he could only find a way to stop talking about race.
George Carlin is funny 1 out of 3 shows.
Steve martin someone said is not funny and i totally agree with that.
Some guy named earthquake i seen on def comedy jam.
But the best roaster i have ever saw was Jeff Roth i think that is his name . Artie Lange isn't bad either.

His HBO show was not intended to be aired on there. He thought he was making a documentary of him and his friends, but after they finished, HBO thought they had a winner.

Only, the show couldn't suck harder. They give you 5 seconds of each comedian because they have about 2 original jokes a piece and cant give that away when they have 29 other stops to make. Even outside the comedy show is a disaster, a bunch of 30 somethings playing paintball or touch football.

You have to ignore that "tourgasm" debacle and all that other shit Dane Cook does now a days, but his cd's are hilarious. It's impossible to argue against that.
