Dane Cook is NOT funny.

[Placebo]

And neither is SNL.

Who's with me? Eh? EH!

[ghostsofgiants]

1. SNL, I agree.

I think Dane is pretty hilarious though.

[Placebo]

3. Oh...primate...

not you too.

:cry:

*pulls out my gun and cocks the trigger*

Believe me, this hurts me more than it hurts you!

:cry:

[ghostsofgiants]

8. Harmful When Swallowed is one of the funniest stand-up albums I've heard.

[Placebo]

9. I thought any Canadian would be beyond Dane Cook.

I was so totally wrong.

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Sorry to disappoint, haha.

[Initech]

49. SNL stopped being funny after Will Ferrell left.

[Floogeldy]

2. I was asking myself . . .

. . . When is this monologue going to end?

I will reserve judgment on the entire show, though. :)

[Placebo]

4. Thank you!

At least the Killers are on next.

[Floogeldy]

11. I really like their music.

But why do bands like those these days have to have a geek-freak, psychotic acting lead singer that over-acts so stupidly and pretends to be overcome with emotion? It is not professional or artistic. It is hoaky and annoying.

BTW, that guy sounds exactly like the singer for The Cure. Not original.

BTW, the guitarist toyed with doing the Gene Simmons tongue thing.

Rock n' Roll does not seem to be progressing much.

[Placebo]

12. Everything old is new again.

I loved THE KILLERS a lot more when they were doing an impression if Brit/Synth instead of a horrible Springsteen impression.

And since when does Brandon Flowers wear flannel? Or have facial hair?? Or big thick-rimmed glasses???

They're trying too hard to re-invent themselves methinks, hmm...

[Floogeldy]

13. You know more about The Killers than me . . .

. . . but, good observation, Placebo. :)

[idgiehkt]

29. oh no

that's too bad.

you are right, they had a really good thing going. I haven't heard the new album, but I hope it's not a grunge rehash. I really liked the tinny sound of "Mr. Brightside"

[Kat45]

5. This is the first time I've seen Dane Cook, though I've heard his name

a lot lately. I agree with you: I don't think his monologue is the least bit funny. And I haven't found SNL to be very funny, with a few exceptions, since Eddie Murphy left. Though I do enjoy the TV Funhouse cartoons--those are funny.

[Placebo]

6. TV Funhouse really is great.

Thank God it seems to stay consistently above the frey.

[Ikonoklast]

7. Dane Cook.......meh.

SNL.....double meh. Both should be euthanized for their own good.








Ok, not Dane Cook. Yet.

[Emops]

14. OK, now.

God I hate him. Didn't he just host the show last year?

[MrScorpio]

15. I've been saying that for a long time

Welcome to the club

[Placebo]

16. It's nice to be here.

I like the complimentary Oreos and t-shirt.

[MrScorpio]

21. Hopefully, you got the Double Stuf'd

One of the best perks

[johnnie]

17. I still like SNL

I haven't really laughed at that Cook guy yet.

[RevolutionaryActs]

18. I think he's really cute.

:blush:

[Placebo]

19. And....what does that have to do with anything?

:P

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. Nothing.

I don't care if he's funny or not, I just want to gawk at him. :9

[6000eliot]

39. Cute, yes. Funny, no.

[Schema Thing]

22. I'm with you. I was embarrassed for them.

[Shakespeare]

23. Oh dear god. That's the first time I've seen him.

He may be the unfunniest person I've ever watched. Somebody put him out of our misery.

[Placebo]

25. That monologue was almost painful to watch.

Like...I almost felt sorry for him.

...

Almost.

[sakabatou]

24. Meh. I like Pablo Fransisco better...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAAIx2Tfasw

[pointblank]

26. Pablo is hilarious

Dane Cook however is a hack IMO

[cedahlia]

27. glorified frat boy

That's the impression I've gotten of him...certainly nothing special (I didn't see his SNL appearance but probably don't need to to confirm that suspicion.)

And any guy who thinks Jessica Simpson is some great prize doesn't rate too highly in my book. I like men who find women of substance attractive...guys who go for the vapid Paris Hilton/Jessica Simpson types are usually morans themselves.

[Placebo]

31. That has ALWAYS been my impression of him too.

Crazy.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. Dane Cook sucks.

If he was ugly, he'd have no career at all.

I'd rather listen to ugly, funny guys like Patton Oswalt and David Cross.

[StellaBlue]

30. I agree on both.

I am still trying to figure out who Dane Cook is. Stupid name. Sounds like somebody who would be famous in Britain, for sure. I had been living there for four years until last summer, and I am still trying to catch up on who Americans think is famous.

[Taverner]

32. It's a generation gap thingy

30-somethings and above (like myself) can't stand him. We just don't get that "scream louder and it's funnier" style Dane has.

20-somethings and below love him though.

[GOPisEvil]

34. Not true.

The twenty-something waiter at brunch this morning was downright pissed that Dane Cook has a career.

[Placebo]

37. I think you're right.

I'm 20 and a lot of my friends seem to enjoy him, which I just think is crazy.

Although my tastes tend to skew a bit older anyway.

[underpants]

40. That there COMputer thing in front of you allows for a career

that an "entertainer" would not normally have.

I think Cook marketed the hell out of himself on MySpace or YouTube or at least with that crowd. They all received phone emails or something and the law of shotguns tells us that you almost have to hit something. He hit a certain % and that is his audience. It makes for a good living too.

I read somewhere about some girl on YouTube who got signed to a development deal with Carson Daily I went and checked out her videos and they were basically her making fun of the retarded BUT lots of people watch it so there is money to be made there.

I could go on but a friend was telling me about seeing Rob Schneider on "MTV's CRibs" and he said "this is the house that Adam Sandler built" I looked it up on imdb and Sandler has produced all those movies for Schneider and "Ladies Man" and whatshisname Farleys sidekick-David Spade....everyone they get paid a couple million and Sandler makes a couple more and everyone is happy.

[Radical Activist]

44. My and my 20 something friends didn't think he was funny either.

[Ariana Celeste]

45. I'm 21 and can't stand him.

My SO is 23 and can't stand him.

None of my 20-something friends like him. He's just a jackass as far as we are concerned.

[Left Is Write]

33. I forgot the season premiere was on last night.

We were out on the town. :D

I've never actually seen Dane Cook's act, so I have no idea what he's like as a comedian.

[dolo amber]

35. The "Where did the *finger* come from?" (I dunno the actual title)

skit is the one gem in Cook's repertoire. Everything else is "meh" at best.

[lildreamer316]

36. Some days I like him, some days not...

on his Vicious Circle special one of his first jokes was a pro-Christian slam on some atheist..that kinda pissed me off. Other than that I find him mildly hilarious at times.I can take him or leave him.

SNL hasn't been funny for years.

[Neoma]

38. Hear, Hear!

[ComerPerro]

41. some of his material is funny, other is just juvenile and idiotic

[LSK]

42. WHO?

:shrug:

[Radical Activist]

43. SNL was pretty good but as for Dane Cook

I kept asking, who is this jackass? No, he isn't funny.

[Broken_Hero]

46. I agree...

Dane Cook isn't funny in my book...but I haven't seen his standup for a while.

[sfdiva]

47. Oh Please the monologue at the beginning was the best part A : F6!!! n/t

[RedStateShame]

48. WOOOOOOOORD

Now, you want funny, go see Doug Stanhope do standup. That man works wonders on a stage.

[Initech]

50. Dane Cook is all right, I can only tolerate him in small doses.

Cant say the same, for say, Larry The Cable Guy. Or anyone on the Blue Collar show.

[sfdiva]

51. Dane Cook is not "blue collar" Larry the Cable Guy is down right annoying

[Ava]

52. Dane cook is funny

IMO

[Merrick]

53. I don't think giving blood is very funny

but I do it anyway.

[Merrick]

54. Dane Cook reminds me of Steven Wright...

except he's not as funny and he screams and flails about a fuck of a lot more

[bridgit]

55. Dane Cook is a laugh riot...

but i'm hearing you on some of the SNL stuff x(

[nemo137]

56. I think Patton Oswalt said it best,

even though he wasn't talking about Dane Cook per se, but "Then there are guys who are funny and all, but who gives a shit?"

He's like the comedic equivalent of the Dave Matthews Band - bland, good enough, and aimed at college students.

[fujiyama]

57. That was the worst SNL

in a long time, possibly the worst.

I didn't find Cook all that funny thoug I saw him on some show jump up and down making fun of Tom Cruise a while back and that was kinda funny.

[BreweryYardRat]

58. Dane Cook is funny for about half an act.

After that, he flops.

[WernhamHogg]

59. I haven't watched SNL in years

Sorry, but I thought that Dane Cook's Comedy Central Presents special from a few years back was one of the funniest standup specials I have ever seen. His stuff about going to church and working at BK really made me laugh because I could relate to it (I was raised Catholic and worked at BK for 2 years in high school). However, I didn't think his second CD was as funny as the first and OCCASIONALLY he annoys me, but overall I'm a fan.

[ScreamingMeemie]

60. Would you make fun of me if I said I have no idea who he is??

And I read People even. :shrug:
