He’s moderately funny for avout three minutes if you happen to catch him at the right spot in his material… but you quickly realize that at best his material is aimed at the segment of the younger generation with Paris Hiltonesque intellects, and at worst he just cluelessly panders to the milder right-wing views.
Was listening to him, slightly amused in a dumb-and-dumber way, when he veered into attacking atheists. I got turned off, not because I’m an atheist - good jokes are good jokes. It just wasn’t funny. Lame. Totally lame hit piece with no humor, but he knew his audience would eat it up because of their background - which they did.
Comedians - slam us atheists all you want, just please make it FUNNY.
First of all, Cook steals material from other comics. Secondly, for a guy who had a show that featured him taking dumps in garbage cans, he got all hot and bothered when some guy farted in the studio during a taping of Crank Yankers.
Stealing jokes is pretty low. I had no idea he was mildly right-wing, though. What I’ve seen of him has been pretty apolitical.
Yeah, I haven’t really had the impression that any members of his audience are smart enough to understand political humor. He knows his audience, and panders to it.
But you are all correct. His only funny bit (and I’ve listened to 2 of his CDs while on road trips) is the bit about his grandmother cheating at monopoly.
He’s not Richard Pryor … but nobody is (well, except maybe Dave Chappelle).
I’ll say the dude is funnier than Jeff Foxworthy, Pauly Shore, Wanda Sykes, Colin (the dude that used to be on MTV), Larry the Cable Guy, etc., etc. I even think he’s funnier than the most over rated comedian on the planet - Chris Rock (talk about unoriginal and a joke jacker).
Cook’s B&E skit is better than anything those fools have done.
And the flamewar wasn’t bad … shit, about half of you aspire to throw down like that.

I’ve had bowel movements that were funnier than those people.
MacSwain… NO ONE is Richard Pryor… no ones even close. Dave is his own man, sure some Richard influence clearly there - but Rich was and remains hands above a true stand out comedic innovator.
ps - Dane bites.

Craig - Wanda Sykes is actually pretty funny - unfortunately, I think she’s just gotten tired and opted for cashing in on the easy jokes.
ps - Dane bites.
Hell, she was even quite engaging in frickin’ Pootie Tang.
None of those people is less funny than Cook. I’d rather listen to 3 hours of “You might be a redneck…” than 30 minutes of Cook. His whole act apparently consists of OVER enNUNciating EVeryTHing so it’s more EXtrEME.
yes, dane cook is not funny.
you (olvier willis) look much funnier than dane cook. oink oink
Occasionally I’ll watch his shows…occasionally I’ll laugh, but after spending my time watching him, I feel unfulfilled. His humor isn’t very intelligent…I notice most of it is based on odd and extravagant gestures, poses, and faces, and a lot of his material only appeals because one can relate to what he’s saying, the story he’s telling, and one only thinks it’s funny because “it happened JUST LIKE THAT to me!”
And yes, the Atheist joke, I thought it could have been a good joke if a true comedian had written it, but Dane was simply too…straightforwardly crude about the whole thing. There’s ways of making fun of something/someone without being crude, and Dane didn’t really accomplish that with his joke. While I enjoyed the “pwnage” on the Atheist guy (I’m Atheist but I don’t deny that there are real butthole Atheists out there), I just didn’t laugh. I didn’t think the joke was laugh-worthy.
So…you now have my spheel on why Dane Cook is not a true comedian…haha.
You’re all clowns. Cook is funny, and the point of his humor is that it DID happen JUST LIKE THAT. God bless, be good.
hehe.. I think he is VERY funny actually. You can’t take people too seriously. he may be an ass, but at least he’s funny. I really and truly do not think that he meant that as a verbal attack against them honestly. in fact, I just recently saw a bulletin on Yahoo! Answers, that an atheist wrote that said that he thought that that skit in particualr was VERY funny.. I am realy actually very shocked that someone would post something like this on the internet saying that he is an ass and not funny because he did a bit on your religion.
Dane Cook is painfully unfunny, yet everyonr laughs at his jokes! It makes me feel like I’m living in the Twlight Zone or something.
YOU GUYS DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOUR TALKING ABOUT!!!!!! DANE COOK IS ONE SILLY BITCH!
No your just mad you stupid fucking atheist because Dane Cook is rippin on your shitty ass non religion His jokes are hilarious you just have this fuckin mentality that your better then everyone Just because a guy doesn’t sit there going out of his way to be some genius and focuses more on being this hilarious awesome guy you sit there and criticize him you only wish you had half the hilarity in your whole boring ass dictionary readin atheist body that he has in one hair folical you worthless piles of queef

hahahha u are mixing atheists up with emos.
Personally if sumone is atheists let them be. not all of them think they will be grown back into trees, lol, thats the first time ive heard any atheists talk that way in dane cooks skit. I personally am a buddhist, and find dane cook rather funny. He goes over board on sum jokes, but when u have a childs personalitiy who can blame you
But alas dave chappelle is king!
Im prolly never gonna see this page again, since i was just looking for the exact words dane cook said in the atheist skit. And if you all hate each other, i hope you all grow into trees and get printed on McDonalds menus! ya ya, lol. (maybe even in there burgers cuz they use 15% paper)
ps. everyone should research athemism. there are almost 40 different breeds of them. Just because you are atheists doesnt mean you dont like religion or have one, you could just be against policital oppression.
