Dane Cook

Posted by Behbigben15

Why is every single user in AGM a Dane Cook hater? Apart from his stupid commercials on TBS which have been played WAY too much, what's so bad about him that you guys can't stand hearing the words Dane Cook? I like his comedy, I don't see what the big problem is with this guy. You should be hating TBS for overplaying his "There's only one October" commercials (as well as the FrankTV commercials) during the MLB Playoffs.

I think, and this is just speculation, that it's because he's a loud, obnoxious, crude idiot that has no single funny cell in his body and that he's only popular because he's a MySpace driven fad. That's just venturing a guess though.

He's not that funny. Its his delivery that gives him any humor. His jokes suck

I like Dane Cook. He's a great stand-up comedian. However, that is where his greatness abruptly ends. Unlike other great stand-ups, he struggles to be funny as anything other than a stand-up. I don't think he's trying to be funny in those TBS commercials, which begs the question: why get a comedian to do unfunny commercials?

Who is Dane Cook? I'm not asking, it's actually an answer on an episode of Jeopardy I saw the other day - "I'll take 'People we will struggle/not care to remember in 2010' for $200 Alex."

I'll be honest, I just saw the movie Mr. Brooks the other day, and he plays a great over-caffeinated psychopath. As for his stand up, he's great for people first venturing into the world of stand up comedy because his delivery is spot on, but there are tons of stand up comics with better material. Daniel Tosh and Mitch Fatel are my two favorites.

"Over-caffeinated psychopath" is apparently exactly what they were going for in those facktober commercials...

His job is to be a stand up comedian, and he's not funny. He has horrible acting skills when he is in a movie, and terrible comedic timing. If teenage girls didnt think he was hot, he would be a nobody.

He has never made me laugh once... its not the comercials I hate, I really don't care for them, but he and alot of other people think he is funny... I've seen enough of stand-up comedy to know who is good and who isn't... he is one who isn't good, but the people who don't know real good stand-up laugh when he rolls around on the floor...

You may not like him, but he is the most popular stand up comedian since Richard Pryor or maybe Eddie Murphy. Whoever said it before is right though, he has great delivery, and that is the reason why he is successful.

He is only famous for being little girls myspace friend... As far as stand up, there are soooooooooo many more famous people who started in stand-up since Pryor and Murphy...

He is famous because he has sold out a ton of shows and sold millions of cd's. I'm not saying I like him, in fact I'm pretty sure he steals some of his bits, but to say he has not been extremely succesful is wrong. His second cd was the most successful comedy cd in like 30 years.

"most successful" = skewed numbers.

A) Sheer numbers - There's WAY more people than 30 years ago

B) Sheer dollars - CD's (or albums as they were once called) are more expensive than ever

C) Sheer stupidity - People are dumber than ever and the common denominator is lower than ever


I don't claim to be Dr. Popculture (When will it pop?) but I have seriously never seen or heard a joke from this guy - and I have seen his name and face too much to explain why I've never heard a joke of his...

The fact that there is a page discussing him on a sports wiki might be an indication.

Dane Cook is to comedy as Ben Asslick is to acting.
