SLAYER Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 This guy is so unfunny it is ridiculous. I watched a comedy special show of his and I might have smiled twice otherwise I was totally unamused. He played before 18,000 people who treated him like a rock star. If given a free ticket I would have to pass it on. If I go see a comedy show I at least expect to laugh occasionally. Was he good once and just bombed this time are is his "humor" just above my head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Seen him on a few occasions doing stand up on TV and I do not believe I have ever even once chuckled. 'click' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAYER Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Good to know I'm not missing something. He just sucks as a comedian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Anyone who thinks he's funny needs to go listen to a few Lenny Bruce albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8tank Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 His 'fighting monkey' skit brought tears to my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Count me in as one of those who don't "get it" with Cook. What exactly are we missing? I feel like there is no real style that distinguishes him apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 There are two things you need to consider when it comes to Dane Cook: 1) He appeals more to the younger crowd than anyone else. 2)He has gotten worse over the years. If you are criticizing his current stuff, I don't blame you at all. If you hate his stuff from years ago, then he's just a different type of humor.
