Seriously dude. It has bugged me for years that people think that guy is funny. He seriously sucks at stand-up. I'm not a big fan of Doug Stanhope either, though he's occasionally funny.

Yeah, I end up hating people who like him, because they invariably get to the point where they can only converse with other people through Dane Cook quotes. I'd put some of them on here to make fun of, but I'm afraid I'd wear out my caps lock exclamation mark keys in quoting him.

I honestly tried to like Dane Cook. I sat through an entire performance waiting for him to be the slightest bit funny but I never saw it. And this was a cable tv special so it's supposed to be his best stuff. I had 2 friends tell me how great he was. After watching him, I knew there was something wrong with my friends. I kind of knew already since they think it's unpatriotic to question the president or the not to support the war in Iraq. Normally this would disqualify anyone from being a friend, but I've known them for a very long time. Even still, I don't really talk to them anymore. We email every now and then. They've become more like acquaintances than friends.

Dane Cook's the loud jackass whose entire sense of humor is based around telling a story that should take two minutes and dragging it out for 20 in a crescendo. It's what I imagine watching an attention-deficit retard with tourette's syndrome freak out on stage for an hour would look like. Watching Gallagher smash fruit is funnier.

Thank you. I couldn't agree more. The fact that he has become popular is evidence enough that our nation is doomed.

You should watch the movie "Idiocracy". It's a comedy, but it's actually scary because it's so true.

Don't worry. When I'm dictator, I'm instituting a policy of summary executions for stupid people, in memorial to Bill Hicks. One of the tests used will be that anyone who laughs at the Dane Cook bit about the talking monkey driving the getaway van in a heist gets a bullet behind the ear.
