Half of his material is composed by sticking a thesaurus up his ass. You can get a few laughs but once you realize he's describing everyday situations with silly sounding words, there's not much more thought in to it and it's that formula over and over again.VicktorVauhn wrote:

that said I though that last special sucked, and its annoying that he has shifted his carrier to romantic comedies.
Its fucking comedy... Don't sit and review critically. So he is describing every day life... Tons of comedians do that... Seinfeld doesn't get that level of hate and he doesn't even bother with the thesaurus...Defiance wrote:

There are no jokes, just drunken banter.
In other words: If you don't care, he's funny, but he doesn't hold up under critical review. Just like everything else most people like.
I don't like it, I explained why, and you say it simply can't be judged? Everything is judged. It is art, quality or not. It is one persons creative product delivered to millions of other people. To not expect or to deny criticism is naive and counter productive.VicktorVauhn wrote:

He does use a lot of "silly words", but that's pretty far from all his humor is.Defiance wrote:

And since you responded to it anyways: Yeah, a lot of comedians describe everyday life. It allows the greatest audience, so if you want to ignore that we can say it's a load of silly words for humor. I think that sounds about right.
True... I still think its weird that he is gonna have a show though. I like his stand up, but for some reason I don't think a show by him will be good. Dunno why.seymorebutts443 wrote:

I really do not like Dane Cook. But he has done a good job of marketing himself to his target audience, so kudos to him.

A friend of mine met him at the laugh factory. He was cool enough to take a picture with him. My friend was trying to get into being a stand up comedian, and as he was kinda a weird guy he was trying to make a website called something like bunnyearsoncelebs.com or something, where the basic premise was he got his picture taken with celebrities and would do bunny ears on them....MadKatter wrote:
