Dane Cook Appears To Be Putting Himself In Jail, Finally
In May, Comedy Central will be broadcasting a new Dane Cook special about him going back to stand up basics. If it's anything like this trailer promoting it, which I'm told is the purpose of trailers, it's going to be the absolute worst.
U.G.H. First of all, there are more than 20 people in that room. That's the least of this show's problems, but it's still a flat-out lie. Second of all, people in the audience aren't not laughing because they were expecting mainstream jokes, they're not laughing because they were expecting funny jokes, you pompous, narcissistic fucking idiot who wears a Transformers t-shirt when he's 36 years old (you Tae Bo Ho), which I know is not a very smart criticism and probably even lessens my integrity in making criticisms but you do dress like a jerk, that's a fact, and it's just one of the things that makes you so stupid and terrible even if it sounds petty and small to say it. Shocker.
But we should look at this special as a good thing. It signals the end for this unfunny, Axe-scented, joke-stealing Boregasm. Like the turning of American sentiment against George W. Bush, history will be on the side of the critics. You can only have so many comedic hurricane Katrinas before the American people say "HEY, enough with this guy! He is a garbage President/comedian!"
I'm not saying that this special is the last we will hear from Dane Cook. That's very unlikely. But if ever there was a star that was on the wane, it is this star, on so much wane.

Things I hated about this video:
1.) Dane Cook (goes without saying)
2.) Pausing the video 100 times to count the amount of people in the room and getting close enough to 20 to say "Yeah, more than 20 for sure" which prolongued my torment,
3.) Horrible jokes that would get nothing at an open mic. "What if she answers?!" 15 years in comedy and this guy's writing jokes we thought of two months in? Riffing on the bookstore? I don't think I'm being over-critical by saying that punchline is simply weak, regardless of who the comedian is.
4.) The "He can even make black women laugh...BLACK WOMEN!" shot.
5.) Gross.

"A Dane Cook You've Never Seen Before" So ya mean that...(wait for it)...he's actually funny this time?
Score = 7
Fucking bleep "fuck" or don't bleep it. Don't half-ass around with it.
Score = 4
He's so vile. There's just something so inherently slimy and oozy about him that warrants several Silkwood-style showers.
Score = 4
i'm confused. did he say he's doing this being both his parents died in a plane crash? that's hi-LAR-ious!
Score = 1
replace "being" with "because" and replace me with stupid.

I love it when that obviously very pure girl starts shaking her head at the swears. She likes her Dane Cook clean! Super clean.
BTW - that vagina joke was a failed attempt at a jim norton joke.
Score = 5
Who edited this? Dane Cook? He goes from talking about b*thes and elephant ear vaginas to sad music and parents death. "I'm talking elephant vaginas because my parents died man." Heavy. Man.
Score = 3
Oh how I wish "Dane Cook, like you've never seen him before" were the truth.
And the mom joke? That was a joke? Umm, I didn't realize you EXPECTED us to know your mom was dead, cus I didnt get that ("joke") until you mentioned so heavily that your parents died.
Score = 1
it's a "mashup," didn't you hear? loving comedy and his parents dying. like the vocals from "that's when i reach for my revolver" playing over the track for "walking on sunshine" (whoa, that would be actually pretty good)
Score = 2
You know, I've never seen Dane Cook dead. Just putting that out there.
Score = 12
Seems to me Team Dane is beginning to realize DC's particularly spasmodic brand of comedy is wearing -- not thin, we've far exceeded that point -- wearing our souls down to bloody stumps. I'd say something biting about his parents' role in all this, but given his ubiquitous nature on the Internet, I'm afraid he'll see it and give me a sufi.
Score = 0
when he started cursing obscenely while describe some sort of graphic sex scene...I immediately thought about Patton Oswalt and "hairy bingle-bangles."
Score = 0
If the line "This is America, we used to make steel in the country" becomes a something like I know they want it to be (1:40, double-danes hammering it home!) I will be really tiffed off.
Score = 2
UGH That line was seriously the worst part besides the entire thing. It doesn't even make any SENSE.
Score = 2
Have fun at dinner, Dane
Score = 15
Yeah, I don't get that line either. Don't we still make steel in this country?
Score = 1
Does he realize he's ripping off Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedian"?
Man, he's NEVER original.

Somewhere in the world Orny Adams is pissed

"Why would you go up on a Tuesday unannounced for twenty people?" Because that's what comedians DO in Los Angeles. The only reason to go to the Laugh Factory or the Comedy Store is on the hope that Dave Chapelle or Jim Gaffigan will show up and do a set because THAT'S WHAT WORKING COMEDIANS DO.
Score = 3
Oh, I threw up in my mouth. Then on my carpet. WORST!
Score = 0
That "cursing" joke sounds just like a Patton Oswalt joke about G- rated filth except not funny or clever. Also, this is worse than everything he has ever done before which I previously thought was the worst.
Score = 0
Am I retarded or something? I think Dane Cook is really funny. I agree with almost every single post on this site and I just don't get why everyone hates Dane Cook. I swear I'm in an alternate universe or something. Again, I keep making myself look bad in the comments. I can't help it if he makes me laugh!
Score = -7
Ugh. You are the worst.

Dane Cook is where funny goes to die.
You want good comedy? Demetri Martin. Just all of him.

I think Dane Cook is funny, but this is just awful.
Score = -3
I think the biggest problem is that he takes himself so damn seriously. He really thinks he's pushing the envelope. Not to belabor the Oswalt references but it's that whole "There is no comedian less dangerous than the guy that gets up there and says Look out people! I'm on the EDGE!! I'm fucked up!!!" thing.
The guy's just a big ol' duchebag and he just can't explain his way out of it. It's insulting to real comics that do these small shows to get their set tight then actually work hard give a polished show of material that works. This is like turning in your notes without righting a thesis and expecting to get a PhD.
Score = 0
I don't think it should count that you're "getting back to the roots" or back to the basic level of things if you've OBVIOUSLY sold this idea in order to make even more millions of dollars.
Score = 0
I still love Dane, many of you were on the Dane Cook bandwagon not too long ago. I just love how aweful you people are, go back to wearing your skinny jeans and love whats (hip) or not loving it whatever you think is cool these day and leave this man alone. i would love you losers to find a soul becuase you mundain existance saddens me.
Score = -1
I know that this is an awfully low road to take, perhaps even out of bounds, but it doesn't surprise me that Dane Cook would exploit the fact that his mother has died for a "laugh". Anyhow, I like this video; it's like whoever made it intended to subtly make him look like a stupid dink.
Score = -2
You people are ridiculous, it's easy to bash someone on the internet and you know he will never read it. You're bitter at the fact (true) that Dane Cook made a career doing what he wants to do. It's repulsive. I don't understand how you stand so high and mighty behind that keyboard. It's amazing to see the amount of jealousy and hate spawned from something so trivial. If you don't think he's funny, then don't laugh, simple as that, but don't bash a success because you didn't make. We are all insignificant in the sense that we probably didn't make it to hollywood, but don't take out your overweight/insecure/narcissist/bulimic/everyday/pansy/bullshit-ness on someone who did. Fuck you all and have a good night, pricks.

Dane cook is funny as shit, if you don't like him DON'T FUCKING WATCH HIM.

you people are extremely ignorant. dane cook is the greatest person alive. This was only a preview therefore all the jokes were mashed up. if you actually knew the joke then the lines would make sense, so dont fucking assume. DANE COOK IS GOD.

Soo all of you hating on him all the time get a freaking life!!! Honestly do you have nothing better to do then hate on a person who has more money then any of you will ever have in a life time!! wow!!
Score = -1
hmmm lets see... based on on of your comments, Dane Cook isn't funny. I choose to disagree... I f he wasnt funny he wudnt be on tv right now wud he. Everyone is just jealous. Dane Cook is the funniest person alive right next to Katt Williams... His Viscious Circle Tour was the funniest shit ever. If you dont like him, dont watch him, but bashing his brilliance is utterly disgusting. Your jealous. Thats it. Hes funny ur not. Get over it. GO DANE COOK!!!!!!

You Dane-haters are pathetic. Why waste so much energy trashing on someone who has no effect on you? Don't like him? Don't watch him. It's really that simple.
Score = -1
I'm not a Dane Cook fan - he doesn't really do it for me.
I gotta say this fad of hatred is more over than you say his career is. You're kinda like the 911 conspiracy theorists who claim it all happened to cover up alien spacecraft.
Get a new phuckin way to waste my blog reading time. This topic is played.

I happen to like Dane Cook and find him hilarious. The only reason people don't like Dane Cook is because they choose not to.
The times we live in have created people who will hate something simply because everyone else likes it.
So to keep this short, all you who bash Dane Cook can go to hell because you are simply either to stupid to get the humor or are following the mainstream idea of being different.
Score = -2
Oh and the person who wrote the review, your credibility isn't worth shit because you didn't even review the preview. All you did was bash and insult and that takes all of your credibility away. You should really give up on writing reviews.
I have a feeling that you just simply bash everything because it is the only way anybody will read your shit. And when you said that he wears a transformers t-shirt at 36 years old, who really gives a fuck, his look is part of his act and is one of the things that helped his career skyrocket, if you were a good critic or reviewer you would have realized that. But as even a grade school student would realize you aren't a good critic.
Score = -2
Dane Cook's timing is impecable, he is a hilarious man. The only time i see someone critizize him are other comedians who no one has ever heard of. They cry he steals their jokes. Hmmm well his jokes made him famous if you had them first why arnt you famous. If your so convinced he has stolen from you then sue, or stfu. You people will always be "unheard of's" because that is how it works in life....if you are suffering from the sin of envy you will always be trapped in it. Join the light side and be happy for others success, there is a reason some people are blessed. As long as you sit on the side lines crying and critizizing others you will remain in the sidelines...

Hey, Dane Cook! This isn't wikipedia, you don't have to protect your legacy like some Church Of Scientology intern by posing as Dane Cook fans and posting rave reviews for yourself. It's kind of sad, dude. Go play some video games or something. ALSO, Chris/Dane, I think to be "to [sic] stupid to get the humor" you have to be conceive of intelligence as a circle, and like, be so smart that you are smart then stupid again then smart again then back to stupid. Draw a diagram, because I'm to stupid to explain it properly.
