7. yes
though less offensive. Well, his JOKES are less offensive. His popularity is offensive in itself.

5. I truly cannot understand what the huge stadium of fans are laughing at.
I saw some of that concert the other night on Comedy central--he didn't make me laugh once. Not once. There were no jokes. No clever wit. No irony. Nothing.

What is the appeal?

12. What?
Saying the same word over and over again isn't funny?

14. Some think it is, I guess.
Either that, or they're all stoned out of their minds.

8. I don't get it
Hi,
I find him about as funny and as interesting as whatever the stuff is under my toenails when I wait too long to trim them.

Peace

9. Dane Cook-noun; pronounced Dank Oook
The sludgy excreta frequently found caked on the underside of a rhinoceros' scrotum.
Unlike the American comedian by the same name, it is universally considered funny.

10. I think he's interesting. But only as interesting as Pauly Shore was.
And only as attractive a personality as Carrot Top is.

11. When you steal jokes and act like an idiot drunk college kids will love you.
And give you all their money. Ask Carlos Mencia.

15. So, if I steal jokes and act like an idiot (no big stretch), will I be
fabulously wealthy, too?

I guess I have to swear every other word, too.

19. Well, it works for Dane Cook, Carlos Mencia, and Dennis Leary
and seems to be working better for them the people who originally wrote the jokes they tell.

20. Now wait a minute--I call BS
Denis Leary doesn't even come close to telling jokes.

He just bitches a lot about obvious irritants.

Otherwise, carry on.

16. is a perfect example of the power of networking in the entertainment bizzzz.
No other reason for him having a job that doesn't involve scrubbing toilets for a living. He's gotta know people with clout.

18.  . . . is the President of Douchebagistan.
Hint: he wasn't acting in Waiting.

22. Amazing sleight-of-hand artist.
He makes audiences roar with laughter, and he does it without any discernible jokes. :shrug:

I don't find him funny at all, but I am obviously in the minority.

23. I guess I'm okay about not telling jokes...
Bill Cosby didn't tell jokes--he told funny stories. "Funny" being the operative term.

I think Cosby worked because his stories were at least grounded in truth and in real life, and people (especially those with kids or who remembered their childhood) could relate.

This Cook guy, though...I just don't get it. The stories are obviously contrived. Every "punchline" seems telegraphed, obvious, or forced. He repeats himself for no discernible reason. He struts around the stage like a rock star, and every meaningless utterance is wildly cheered by his inebriated fans...but he's just. not. funny.

24. Now I understand Hawaiian history a little better
the Hawaiians thought they were killing Dane Cook. Poor Capt. James Cook was the unfortunate victim of mistaken identity.

if, next time you go hunting and you have to throw one back, you throw her over this way...

31. Well, that is as close as you can get
without actually being upon the sacred 'aina itself.

Couldn't you just put her on a plane? :-)
